Abstract Accurate prediction of ship motion is very important for ensuring marine safety, weapon control, and aircraft carrier landing, etc. Ship motion is a complex time-varying nonlinear process which is affected by many factors. Time series analysis method and many machine learning methods such as neural networks, support vector machines regression (SVR) have been widely used in ship motion predictions. However, these single models have certain limitations, so this paper adopts a multi-model prediction method. First, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is used to remove noise in ship motion data. Then the random forest (RF) prediction model optimized by genetic algorithm… More >

Abstract Human Adaptive Mechatronics (HAM) includes human and computer system in a closed loop. Elderly person with disabilities, normally carry out their daily routines with some assistance to move their limbs. With the short fall of human care takers, mechatronics devices are used with the likes of exoskeleton and exosuits to assist them. The rehabilitation and occupational therapy equipments utilize the electromyography (EMG) signals to measure the muscle activity potential. This paper focuses on optimizing the HAM model in prediction of intended motion of upper limb with high accuracy and to increase the response time of the system. Limb characteristics extraction… More >
