Abstract Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) may affect the quality of the patient’s life if it is left untreated. Bracing is prescribed to halt or reduce the curvature progression and avoid surgery. However, the in-brace correction pressure remains unclear, and it is controlled passively by tightening/losing the brace’s strap. Computational modeling has recently attracted researchers’ attention to predict and optimize the AIS bracing treatment. In this paper, a Multi Body-Finite Element (MB-FE) Simscape model and an analytical model of the AIS bracing treatment are created. The MB-FE Simscape model is used to predict the in-brace correction pressure. Furthermore, a Novel Position-based Impedance Control (NPIC) is proposed to control the dynamic interaction between the robotic brace and torso. In this method, the error between the desired and estimated impedance parameters is involved in the controller design to improve the performance of the typical PIC in terms of pose tracking and impedance model tracking. In-vivo data from the literature and numerical simulations are used to validate the MB-FE Simscape model and analytical model. The performance of the proposed controller is verified using numerical simulations in terms of pose tracking and impedance model tracking.

Abstract In this paper we consider a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem for a moving agent using Visual Odometry (VO) while measuring the range from a set of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) antennas, deployed in unknown position in the environment. The solution approach is based on a switching observer which, under standard working conditions, for each observed UWB, uses a two dimensional Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) providing an estimate of the range and bearing of the observed UWB with respect to the agent. This information is then used in a Robust EKF algorithm which solves the SLAM problem with performances that, even before closing the loop, are comparable to the ones that a VO algorithm (namely ORB-SLAM2) would obtain only after closing the loop. Moreover, a resilient module is added to the algorithm to evaluate the reliability of the position estimate of each observed UWB. When the Visual Odometry is not available, the switching observer uses an auxiliary EKF to provide an estimate of the agent position. This makes the proposed approach robust with respect to several kinds of unmodeled disturbances, like multipath effects, and automatically adapts to sensor failures with resilience (e.g. when Visual Odometry or UWB measurements are not available).

Abstract The paper focuses on safety and simplicity of unmanned aircraft longitudinal control and proposes a new combination of total energy control (TECS) and conventional control. The introduced new modified total energy control (TECSMOD) method applies IAS priority all the time. IAS is controlled through the elevator while the total energy of the system and so the altitude is maintained with throttle. Neither engine fault or stall detection nor switching logic is required while stall is prevented keeping the solution simple and safe. To prove the viability of the new concept it is compared to a conventional multiple zone PI controller and the TECS solution in simulation and real flight tests. First, the six degrees of freedom simulation model of the Sindy test UAV (developed and built in Institute for Computer Science and Control, HUN-REN, Hungary) is verified comparing its inputs and outputs to flight results. Then a simulation campaign is done for all three controllers with special test cases which can be critical according to the literature. Finally, real flight test comparison is done considering IAS and altitude tracking and engine fault handling. The new method was the best in IAS tracking with acceptable results in altitude tracking and successful stall prevention upon engine fault (without any fault detection or switching). Future improvements can be fine tuning for improved altitude tracking with the price of decreased IAS tracking performance and the introduction of a glideslope tracking mode for landing scenarios.
