Abstract: Surgical robots have greatly facilitated numerous challenging medical procedures such as totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting. Despite the initial success of some classical robotic ...

Abstract: A legged robot that moves across a steel structure is developed for steel bridge inspection. Powerful permanent magnets imbedded in each foot allow the robot to hang from a steel ceiling ...

Abstract: Multichannel blind system identification (MBSI) is a technique for estimating both an unknown input and unknown channel dynamics from outputs measured at different points of the system. MBSI is ...

Abstract: Vector Markov processes (also known as population Markov processes) are an important class of stochastic processes that have been used to model a wide range of technological, biological, and ...

Abstract: Stable stochastic feedback control of an aggregate output from a multitude of cellular units is presented in this paper. Similar to a skeletal muscle comprising a number of muscle fibers, the ...

Abstract: A method for simultaneously running a collection of dynamic simulators coupled by algebraic boundary conditions is presented. Dynamic interactions between subsystems are simulated without disclosing ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new approach to blind identification of a class of two-channel infinite impulse response (IIR) systems with applicability to clinical cardiovascular monitoring. Specifically, ...
