The exoskeleton is modeled in Solid Works, with a single actuator at the knee joint that is controlled by getting the information from foot sensitive resistors (FSRs) and encoders. The desired knee angle in the sagittal plane during the swing phase of the gait was fed to the controller and then modeling, and simulation technique was applied to achieve the desired output. The preliminary results were reasonable as the system has the ability to assist during slow walking. Future work includes the necessary improvements in the proposed system so that investigations will be carried out for walking assistance of disabled persons.","PeriodicalId":429384,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Industry (ICRAI)","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121113967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low cost haptic devices have been presented in literature and are being used in many universities as part of their curricula. These devices provide hands-on experience to students for learning different physical and virtual phenomena. These devices feature small workspaces and low force outputs which can limit their use for educational applications. In this paper a prototype 1 DoF (degree of freedom) encounter type haptic device that possesses a larger workspace, higher force output and the ability to render free space, while keeping the cost low, is proposed. Haptic rendering is achieved using Series Elastic Actuation (SEA), while free space is rendered using a low friction mechanical coupling. Smooth transition between haptic and free space rendering is implemented using a switch based control law. The use of SEA, easy to manufacture 3D printed parts, low cost actuators, sensors and processor make the device affordable for educational institutions and students. In this paper design of the prototype device, its control scheme and experimental characterization of performance has been presented.","PeriodicalId":429384,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Industry (ICRAI)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129772867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various studies are available in literature which discuss the design, modeling, and control of specially designed assistive devices for this purpose. In this paper, chattering free sliding mode control for an Assistive Robotic Device for Paraplegic patients is proposed. Mathematical modeling of the device reveals the nonlinear nature of the system. A sliding mode controller is thus designed to control the system. The controller is designed based on a first order sliding surface. The oscillation in the response, also known as \"chattering effect,\" is minimized by selecting a suitable time-varying boundary layer. Simulation results show that the oscillations in the response are eliminated after the implementation of the boundary layer. The torque requirement in chattering free results are also significantly decreased as compared to the torque required in the oscillatory response, which demonstrates the reduction in control effort. The chattering-free response also ensures the comfort of the patient while using the device.","PeriodicalId":429384,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Industry (ICRAI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128397760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various artifacts get added in to the original ECG signal and their removal is crucial thus allowing physicians to extract useful information from the original ECG signal. The most common artifact that gets added in ECG signal is Power line interference (PLI). Various filtering techniques have been implemented in literature to eradicate PLI from noisy ECG signal. This paper presents performance comparison of the filtering capability of different adaptive filters for PLI suppression from ECG signal. The investigated adaptive algorithms are least mean square (LMS), recursive least squares (RLS), state space recursive least squares (SSRLS) and Kalman filter. The comparison is carried out for PLI with known amplitude and frequency. Mean square error (MSE), power spectral density (PSD) and noise reduction ratio (NR) are used as performance metrics for comparison.","PeriodicalId":429384,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Industry (ICRAI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123634914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Detection of bearing fault is important because most of the failures in induction motors are related to bearing faults which can lead to excessive downtimes and large revenue losses. Early detection of fault helps to reduce downtime and unexpected breakdowns. The current signature analysis uses stator currents spectrum to determine fault harmonics around the fundamental frequency. Every machine generates vibration and due to dynamic stresses, vibrational behavior of the machine is influenced by the mechanical condition. This disturbance can be analyzed by Vibration signature analysis. The experiment is done on induction motor of 1 HP, connected to three-phase 50 Hz supply and 6303 model bearings are artificially damaged to generate fault conditions. From experimental results, we have compared the above two techniques for fault detection and analyze the bearing fault frequency.","PeriodicalId":429384,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Industry (ICRAI)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121135588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dynamic modeling of the system was done using the Lagrange approach. The trajectory was planned for manipulator’s end-effector, then trajectory for each joint was computed. Then control algorithms were designed and implemented in MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation results illustrated that PID is a linear control, therefore, when controlling the system with uncertainties the performance of PID is not good. Sliding mode control is a robust non-linear control and have good performance characteristics but information of upper bound of perturbation is necessary. To overcome this problem SMCSPO a robust control with disturbance rejection logic has been implemented and result shows that SMCSPO performance is better than SMC and PID in the presence of uncertainties and external disturbance due to disturbance compensation.","PeriodicalId":429384,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Industry (ICRAI)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114595966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
