Impact of Load Variation on Joint Angle Estimation From Surface EMG Signals (2015)
Journal Article
Tang, Z., Yu, H., & Cang, S. (2016). Impact of Load Variation on Joint Angle Estimation From Surface EMG Signals. IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 24(12), 1342-1350. https://doi.org/10.1109/tnsre.2015.2502663

Many studies use surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals to estimate the joint angle, for control of upper-limb exoskeletons and prostheses. However, several practical factors still affect its clinical applicability. One of these factors is the load va...

On periodically pendulum-diven systems for underactuated locomotion: A viscoelastic jointed model (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, P., Yu, H., & Cang, S. (2015). On periodically pendulum-diven systems for underactuated locomotion: A viscoelastic jointed model. In 2015 21st International Conference on Automation and Computing (ICAC). https://doi.org/10.1109/iconac.2015.7313936

This paper investigates the locomotion principles and nonlinear dynamics of the periodically pendulum-driven (PD) systems using the case of a 2-DOF viscoelastic jointed model. As a mechanical system with underactuation degree one, the proposed system... Read More about On periodically pendulum-diven systems for underactuated locomotion: A viscoelastic jointed model.

Multichannel electromyography (EMG) signals have been used as human-machine interface (HMI) for the control of pattern-recognition based prosthetic system in recent years. This paper is a feasibility analysis of using recently proposed NeuCube spikin... Read More about Feasibility of NeuCube spiking neural network architecture for EMG pattern recognition.

Trajectory tracking control of an underactuated capsubot (2015)
Journal Article
Huda, M. N., & Yu, H. (2015). Trajectory tracking control of an underactuated capsubot. Autonomous Robots, 39(2), 183-198. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10514-015-9434-3

Trajectory tracking control of underactuated systems is one of the challenging issues. This paper proposes a two-stage control strategy for the trajectory tracking of a class of underactuated mechanical systems. Two new acceleration profiles for the...
