An originally designed 3-dof (2-dof perturbation platform and 1-dof cabin) human balance testing system (DETES) has been developed for delivering mechanical and perceptual stimuli in a controlled embedding environment in order to investigate sensory-motor control of human erect posture at physiological and/or pathological conditions. The human balance (especially studying vestibular system involved mechanisms) demonstrating complex (nonlinear) dynamical behavior in the context of postural adjustments having ecological roots/meanings (information) is to be tested (by means of quiet and perturbed stance) and analyzed for supporting (differential) diagnosis, monitoring/following the progress of the disease, and creating the new adaptive motor learning protocols for rehabilitation.

Robot mimicking: A visual approach for human machine interaction
Uskarci, A; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Dindaroglu, MS; Ersak, A (2003-01-01)
The proposed method is the preliminary step for a human-machine interaction system, in which a robot arm mimics the movements of a human arm, visualized through a camera set-up. In order to achieve this goal, the posture of a model joint, which simulates a human arm, is determined by finding the bending and yaw angles from captured images. The image analysis steps consist of preprocessing of noise via median filtering, thresholding and connected component analysis. The relation between the relative position...
Locomotion Gait Optimization For Modular Robots; Coevolving Morphology and Control
Pouya, Soha; Aydın Göl, Ebru; Moeckel, Rico; Ijspeert, Auke Jan (2011-01-01)
This study aims at providing a control-learning framework capable of generating optimal locomotion patterns for the modular robots. The key ideas are firstly to provide a generic control structure that can be well-adapted for the different morphologies and secondly to exploit and coevolve both morphology and control aspects. A generic framework combining robot morphology, control and environment and on the top of them optimization and evolutionary algorithms are presented. The details of the components and ...
Identification of a vertical hopping robot model via harmonic transfer functions
Uyanik, Ismail; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Cowan, Noah J.; Saranlı, Uluç; Morgul, Omer (2016-05-01)
A common approach to understanding and controlling robotic legged locomotion is the construction and analysis of simplified mathematical models that capture essential features of locomotor behaviours. However, the representational power of such simple mathematical models is inevitably limited due to the non-linear and complex nature of biological locomotor systems. Attempting to identify and explicitly incorporate key non-linearities into the model is challenging, increases complexity, and decreases the ana...
An Embodied and extended cognitive dynamic field theory (dft) model for piloting tasks supported with flight records
Kaygusuz, Yasin; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2015)
The DFT modeling employs the dynamical systems approach to model the human motor and sensory stimulus unified with cognitive behavior. Since the DFT model includes the embodiment already embedded into the model, it can be easily used to generate task oriented robotic behavior similar to human activities including cognition. In this study the navigation trajectories of an aircraft with a pilot will be modeled using the DFT approach. The model will include the embodiment of the human mind into the body of the...
Device for viscoelastic assessment of the residual limb bulk soft tissue response to load
Silver-thorn, M.b.; Tönük, Ergin (null; 1999-12-01)
An extant tissue tester designed for rate-controlled indentation of the bulk soft tissues of lower extremity residual limbs was modified to include force feedback (proportional control) and enable creep testing. This device employs a digital linear actuator and a load cell that measures the reaction force resulting from tissue indentation. The current force value, f, is compared to the target force (ft) prescribed by the user. If the force falls outside of the region: 0.99 ft<f<1.01 ft, the device indents (...
