RISThe Present Role of Actuator Technology in Surgical Robotic Devices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
An Underactuated, Magnetic-Foot Robot for Steel Bridge Inspection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Modeling, Realization, and Simulation of Thermo-Fluid Systems Using Singularly Perturbed Sliding Manifolds
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new approach based on sliding control is presented for modeling and simulation of thermo-fluid systems described by differential-algebraic equations (DAEs). The dynamics of thermo-fluid systems ...
Stochastic Recruitment Control of Large Ensemble Systems With Limited Feedback
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new approach to controlling the ensemble behavior of many identical agents is presented in this paper, inspired by motor recruitment in skeletal muscles. A group of finite state agents ...
Blind System Identification of Noncoprime Multichannel Systems and Its Application to Noninvasive Cardiovascular Monitoring
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Estimation of State Transition Probabilities in Asynchronous Vector Markov Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Cellular Stochastic Control of the Collective Output of a Class of Distributed Hysteretic Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Dual Faceted Linearization of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems Based on Physical Modeling Theory
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new approach to modeling and linearization of nonlinear lumped-parameter systems based on physical modeling theory and a data-driven statistical method is presented. A nonlinear dynamical system is represented with two ...
Co-Simulation of Algebraically Coupled Dynamic Subsystems Without Disclosure of Proprietary Subsystem Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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 ...
Blind Identification of Two-Channel IIR Systems With Application to Central Cardiovascular Monitoring
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
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, ...
