Abstract: This paper presents a hierarchical approach for estimating the mission feasibility, i.e., the probability of mission completion (PoMC), for mobile robotic systems operating in stochastic environments. Mobile robotic systems ...

Abstract: Advancement of implanted left ventricular assist device (LVAD) technology includes modern sensing and control methods to enable online diagnostics and monitoring of patients using on-board sensors. These methods often rely ...

Abstract: A respiratory mechanics model of the human lung is developed for studying pressure-compensated breathing through a respiration mask in low-ambient pressure environments encountered during high-altitude flight. The model ...
