    Abstract Object tracking is one of the major tasks for mobile robots in many real-world applications. Also, artificial intelligence and automatic control techniques play an important role in enhancing the performance of mobile robot navigation. In contrast to previous simulation studies, this paper presents a new intelligent mobile robot for accomplishing multi-tasks by tracking red-green-blue (RGB) colored objects in a real experimental field. Moreover, a practical smart controller is developed based on adaptive fuzzy logic and custom proportional-integral-derivative (PID) schemes to achieve accurate tracking results, considering robot command delay and tolerance errors. The design of developed… More >

    Personalized Lower Limb Gait Reconstruction Modeling Based on RFA-ProMP

    Chunhong Zeng, Kang Lu, Zhiqin He, Qinmu Wu
    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.80, No.1, pp. 1441-1456, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.051551

    Abstract Personalized gait curves are generated to enhance patient adaptability to gait trajectories used for passive training in the early stage of rehabilitation for hemiplegic patients. The article utilizes the random forest algorithm to construct a gait parameter model, which maps the relationship between parameters such as height, weight, age, gender, and gait speed, achieving prediction of key points on the gait curve. To enhance prediction accuracy, an attention mechanism is introduced into the algorithm to focus more on the main features. Meanwhile, to ensure high similarity between the reconstructed gait curve and the normal one, More >
