This note presents a novel approach for task-space tracking control of redundant manipulators with bounded actuation. Inspired by the leader-follower containment problem in multi-agent systems, the proposed controller is utilized to address the containment control of a single follower manipulator...

Improving ECG-based COVID-19 diagnosis and mortality predictions using pre-pandemic medical records at population-scale
Download2022
Sun, W., Kalmady, S.V., Wang, Z., Salimi, A., Sepehrvand, N., Hindle, Abram, Chu, L.M., Greiner, R., Kaul, P.
Pandemic outbreaks such as COVID-19 occur unexpectedly, and need immediate action due to their potential devastating consequences on global health. Point-ofcare routine assessments such as electrocardiogram (ECG), can be used to develop prediction models for identifying individuals at risk....

Machine-learned Adaptive Switching in Voluntary Lower-limb Exoskeleton Control: Preliminary Results
Download2022-01-01
Lower-limb exoskeletons utilize fixed control strategies and are not adaptable to user’s intention. To this end, the goal of this study was to investigate the potential of using temporal-difference learning and general value functions for predicting the next possible walking mode that will be...

EMG-based Hybrid Impedance-Force Control for Human-Robot Collaboration on Ultrasound Imaging
Download2022-11-03
Teng Li, Hongjun Xing, Hamid D. Taghirad, Mahdi Tavakoli
ABSTRACT: Ultrasound (US) imaging is a common but physically demanding task in the medical field, and sonographers may need to put in considerable physical effort for producing high-quality US images. During physical human-robot interaction on US imaging, robot compliance is a critical feature...

Integrating Impedance Control and Nonlinear Disturbance Observer for Robot-Assisted Arthroscope Control in Elbow Arthroscopic Surgery
Download2022-11-03
Teng Li, Armin Badre, Hamid D. Taghirad, Mahdi Tavakoli
ABSTRACT: Robot-assisted arthroscopic surgery is transforming the tradition in orthopaedic surgery. Compliance and stability are essential features that a surgical robot must have for safe physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). Surgical tools attached at the robot end-effector and human-robot...
