In this paper, a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) is fabricated on a riderless bicycle. The Fuzzy Inference System is based on a rule base inherited from human experience of bicycle riding. The steady turning motion and roll-angle tracking…

The stability of standing in humans is a complex process that leads to maintaining the upright position against external disturbances. Balance control during standing is of vital importance for humans in daily life. An issue that is still…

Recent dynamical models, based on the seminal work of V. Hill, allow to predict the muscular response to functional electrostimulation (FES), in the isometric and non-isometric cases. The physical controls are modeled as Dirac pulses and…

Lower-limb prosthesis wearers are more prone to falling than non-amputees. Powered prostheses can reduce this instability of passive prostheses. While shown to be more stable in practice, powered prostheses generally use model-independent…

Motor control requires sensory feedback, and the nature of this feedback has implications for the tasks of the central nervous system (CNS): for an approximately linear mechanical system (e.g., a freely standing person, a rider on a…

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been effectively applied in many rehabilitation treatments of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). In this context, we introduce a novel, robust, and intelligent control-based…
