Programmable Smart Machines
Dramatic challenges face us in advancing traditional computer systems. With the demise of linear increases in clock speeds, we have been driven to entertain parallelism even in general purpose systems. Parallelism leads to complexity and works against the simple abstractions that isolate programmers from the details of the system architecture, giving rise to the “great software challenge”. We b...
متن کاملTowards programmable molecular machines
One major challenge in nanotechnology is to transport a nano-scale object from one location to another on a nano-structure. Molecular walkers are nano-machines designed for this task they are structures that can attach and move on some substrate. There have been several preliminary experiments for DNA walkers. However, none of these walker designs are “programmable”. These walkers either requir...
متن کاملEMG Analysis Methods on Robotic Gait Machines
Gait impairment is one of the consequences of events like stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury or neurodegenerative diseases like Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinsons' Disease. The restoration and improvement of walking functions is one of the primary concerns of the rehabilitation of neurological Patients. To achieve this goal, a task specific repetitive training seems the most promi...
متن کاملConceptual Design of a Gait Rehabilitation Robot
Gait rehabilitation using body weight support on a treadmill is a recommended rehabilitation technique for neurological injuries, such as spinal cord injury. In this paper, a new robotic orthosis is presented for treadmill training. In the presented design the criteria such as low inertia of robot components, backdrivability, high safety and degrees of freedom based on human walking are conside...
متن کاملField-Programmable Custom Computing Machines - A Taxonomy -
The ability for providing a hardware platform which can be customized on a per-application basis under software control has established Reconfigurable Computing (RC) as a new computing paradigm. A machine employing the RC paradigm is referred to as a Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machine (FCCM). So far, the FCCMs have been classified according to implementation criteria. For the previous ...
