background: diabetes mellitus is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality all over the world. chronic high blood glucose is the root cause of developing future micro and macro vascular complications. in current study, we analyzed poorly controlled patients’ information by clustering method in order to find more homogenous sub-groups of patients for planning for further interv...

This paper presents a toolbox of gestural control mechanisms which are available when the input sensing apparatus is a pair of data gloves fitted with orientation sensors. The toolbox was developed in advance of a live music performance in which the mapping from gestural input to audio output was to be developed rapidly in collaboration with the performer. The paper begins with an introduction ...

This article introduces a multi-posture locomotor training device (MPLTD)with a closed-loop control scheme based on joint-angle feedback, which is able to overcome varies difficulties resulting from mechanical vibration and the weight of trainer to achieve higher accuracy trajectory. By introducing the forcefield control scheme that used in the closed-loop control, the device can obtain the act...

Sit-stand tables have been suggested to increase variation and prevent disorders among office workers. However, it is a challenge to ensure their proper use. Therefore, we developed a system reminding workers to change the height of their sit-stand table at regular intervals. The system consists of three devices: (1) table legs that can be controlled in height by an electric drive; (2) remote c...

The high complexity of the mechanical system and the challenging task of walking itself makes the task of designing the control for legged robots a difficult one. Even if the implementation of parts of the desired functionality, such as posture control or basic swing/stance movement, can be solved by the use of classical engineering approaches, the control of the overall system tends to be very...
