Abstract:
Gait assistance robots are used to improve gait performance ability or perform gait motion with an assistance for several articular motions. The sparing use of a gait assistance robot to decrease the duration of the robot’s assistance is important for keeping the ability to perform a movement when the robot assists walking. In previous research, methods of ensuring a compliance mechanism and control method have been studied, and assistance for articular motions has been conducted independently using actuators corresponding to each articular motion. In this paper, we propose a wire-driven gait assistance robot to aid both hip and knee articular flexion motions by applying just one force to assist motion in the swing phase. We focused on a force that assists hip and knee flexion motion, and designed a robot with a compensation mechanism for the wire length. We used an assistance timing detection method for the robot, conducting tensile force control based on information from the hip, knee, and ankle angles. We carried out an experiment to investigate the controlled performance of the proposed robot and the effect on hip and knee angular velocity. We confirmed that the proposed robotic system can aid both hip and knee articular motion with just one force application.

Abstract:
We are developing exoskeleton robots to realize human shoulder motion assistance for the physically weak. In this paper, we propose controller adjustment for the controller of the exoskeleton robot for human shoulder motion assistance. Motion assistance in the entire movable range of the exoskeleton is realized with a few teaching motion patterns using the proposed controller adjustment. Muscle activity (electromyography) during shoulder motion and motion error between desired user shoulder motion and the measured assisted shoulder motion are evaluated.

Abstract:
In this paper experimental investigations concerning the prototype validation of an exoskeleton for human gait rehabilitation are presented. The proposed exoskeleton is intended for human legs motion assistance, being a low cost solution. The exoskeleton provides motion assistance for human hip and knee joint. The experimental gait analysis of the exoskeleton and assisted human subject is performed with goniometers sensors. These sensors are attached to the exoskeleton hip and knee joints and measure the angle variation. The results obtained for the exoskeleton motion are compared with those obtained in case of a healthy human subject. Angular variation corresponding to a step, as a comparison for human and exoskeleton joints is performed. The conclusion is that the designed exoskeleton is proper for human gait motion assistance, because the joints motion is comparable with the human subject.

Abstract:
Loss of muscle functions, such as the elbow, can affect the quality of life of a person. This research is aimed at developing an affordable two DOF soft elbow exoskeleton incorporating a dual motor-tendon actuator. The soft elbow exoskeleton can be used to assist two DOF motions of the upper limb, especially elbow and wrist movements. The exoskeleton is developed using fabric for the convenience purpose of the user. The dual motor-tendon actuator subsystem employs two DC motors coupled with lead-to-screw converting motion from angular into linear motion. The output is connected to the upper arm hook on the soft exoskeleton elbow. With this mechanism, the proposed actuator system is able to assist two DOF movements for flexion/extension and pronation/supination motion. Proportional-Integral (PI) control is implemented for controlling the motion. The optimized value of Kp and Ki are 200 and 20, respectively. Based on the test results, there is a slight steady-state error between the first and the second DC motor. When the exoskeleton is worn by a user, it gives more steady-state errors because of the load from the arm weight. The test results demonstrate that the proposed soft exoskeleton elbow can be worn easily and comfortably by a user to assist two DOF for elbow and wrist motion. The resulted range of motion (ROM) for elbow flexion–extension can be varied from 90° to 157°, whereas the maximum of ROM that can be achieved for pronation and supination movements are 19° and 18°, respectively.

Abstract:
For several years, there has been a remarkable increase in efforts to develop an autonomous car. Autonomous car systems combine various techniques of recognizing the environment with the help of the sensors and could drastically bring down the number of accidents on road by removing human conduct errors related to driver inattention and poor driving choices. In this research thesis, an algorithm for jointly ego-vehicle motion and road geometry estimation for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is developed. The measurements are obtained from the inertial sensors, wheel speed sensors, steering wheel angle sensors, and camera. An Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is used for estimating the states of the non-linear system because UKF estimates the state in a simplified way without using complex computations. The proposed algorithm has been tested on a winding and straight road. The robustness and functioning of our algorithm have been demonstrated by conducting experiments involving the addition of noise to the measurements, reducing the process noise covariance matrix, and increasing the measurement noise covariance matrix and through these tests, we gained more trust in the working of our tracker. For evaluation, each estimated parameter has been compared with the reference signal which shows that the estimated signal matches the reference signal very well in both scenarios. We also compared our joint algorithm with individual ego-vehicle and road geometry algorithms. The results clearly show that better estimates are obtained from our algorithm when estimated jointly instead of estimating separately.

A robótica já é parte importante da vida cotidiana, em especial na grande ajuda que pode promover para melhorar a qualidade de vida, mostrando-se como uma ótima opção, por exemplo, para a reabilitação física no corpo humano. O presente trabalho apresenta um projeto e um estudo de controle de movimento de uma plataforma robótica - uma bengala - controlada por meio de sensores de força nela localizados, fazendo com que o registro dos movimentos do usuário seja feito de forma não-invasiva. O protótipo se desloca por meio de três rodas omnidirecionais, acionadas por motores elétricos de corrente continua. Estes últimos têm facilidade no controle e são de baixo custo. A bengala é fabricada em alumínio para facilitar o seu transporte devido à baixa densidade desse material, além de apresentar uma boa usinabilidade, facilitando a sua fabricação. O sistema eletrônico consiste de três etapas: (i) circuito de aquisição de ponte de Wheatstone para os extensômetros; (ii) amplificação e filtragem feitas com amplificadores de instrumentação e filtros passa baixa Butterworth; e (iii) processamento e controle, implementado em dois microcontroladores PIC. O controle da bengala é baseado em admitância em paralelo com um controle PI linear, o qual pretende promover ao usuário uma sensação de naturalidade ao caminhar, sem esforços adicionais significativos e com rápida resposta. Em particular, o sistema pretende detectar situações de queda iminente do usuário, cenário não incomum no uso por idosos.
Robotics already is an important part of modern daily routine, with a quite unlimited potential for the improvement of life quality. For instance, robotics can be a very attractive technology for physical rehabilitation of the human body. The present work presents a design proposal and study of the stability control of an omnidirectional robotic walking cane for assistance of motor disabilities. Non-invasive force sensors are used to register the user s motions and to control the robotic cane. Three omnidirectional wheels, each of them driven by a continuous electrical current motor, move the prototype in all planar directions without the need for turning. The chosen electrical motors are characterized by their easy control and low cost. The stick is fabricated in aluminum, a low-density material with good machinability, in order to both facilitate the user in transporting the cane and to ease the manufacturing process. The electronic system is comprised of three stages: (i) a Wheatstone bridge circuit for the acquisition of strain-gage signals for force and torque sensing; (ii) amplification and filtering with instrumentation amplifiers and Butterworth-type low pass filters; and (iii) processing and control, implemented on two PIC microcontrollers. The control of the robotics support is performed both by an admittance-based approach in parallel with a linear PI control. The quick response of this integrated control does not demand extra efforts from the user, thus providing a more natural sensation while walking. In particular, the system intends to detect whether the user is in the imminence of falling over, a likely scenario in eldercare.

Abstract:
La thèse porte sur la détection d’objets à partir d’une caméra embarquée sur un véhicule mobile en exploitant l’approche monoculaire « c-vélocité ». Cette méthode s’inspire de la méthode appelée « v-disparité » utilisée en stéréovision : toutes deux ont pour objectif la détection d’objets en les approximant par des plans d’orientations différentes, ce qui permet d’éviter, en monoculaire, d’estimer la profondeur. Ces deux approches, monoculaires et binoculaires, permettent de transformer le problème complexe de la détection d’objets en un problème plus simple de détection de formes paramétriques simples (droites, paraboles) dans un nouvel espace de représentation où la détection peut être réalisée à l’aide d’une transformée de Hough. La « c-vélocité », pour être efficace, requiert un calcul assez précis du flot optique et une bonne estimation de la position du Foyer d’expansion (FOE). Dans cette thèse, nous avons étudié les approches existantes de calcul de flot optique et sommes arrivés à la conclusion qu’aucune n’est vraiment performante notamment sur les régions homogènes telle que la route dans les scènes qui correspondent à l’application que nous visons à savoir : les véhicules intelligents. Par ailleurs, les méthodes d’estimation du flot optique peinent également à fournir une bonne estimation dans le cas de déplacement importants dans les régions proches de la caméra. Nous proposons dans cette thèse d’exploiter à la fois un modèle 3D de la scène et une estimation approximative de la vitesse du véhicule à partir d’autres capteurs intégrés. L’utilisation de connaissances a priori permet de compenser le flot dominant pour faciliter l’estimation de la partie résiduelle par une approche classique. Par ailleurs, trois approches différentes sont proposées pour détecter le foyer d’expansion. Parmi elles, nous proposons une méthode novatrice permettant d’estimer le FOE en exploitant la norme du flot et la structure de la scène à partir d’un processus « c-vélocité » inversé. En plus d’améliorer ces étapes préliminaires, nous proposons aussi l’optimisation et l’accélération de l’algorithme « c-vélocité » par une implémentation multithread. Enfin, nous proposons une modification de l’approche c-vélocité d’origine afin d’anticiper une éventuelle coopération mouvement/stéréo, proposée en perspective, à travers un jumelage avec la v-disparité
This thesis is based on the detection of objects from an onboard moving camera by exploiting the monocular approach "c-velocity". This method is inspired by the method called "v-disparity" used in stereovision: both methods aim at detecting objects by approximating objects into plans with different orientations. Such approximation can avoid to estimate the depth in monocularvision. These two approaches, monocular and binocular, allow to transform the complex objet détection problem into a more simple parametric forms (eg. lines) detection in a new space, where these formes can be easily extracted using Hough Transform.The “c-velocity”, to make it effective, requires an accurate computation of optical flow and a good estimation of the focus of expansion (FOE) location. Therefore, we have studied the existing approaches of optical flow estimation and arrived at the conclusion that none of them is really powerful especially on the homogeneous regions such as road surface. In addition, the optical flow estimation methods also struggle to provide a good estimate in the case of huge displacement in the areas close to the camera. We propose in this thesis to exploit both a 3D model of the scene and a rough estimate about the vehicle speed from other integrated sensors. Using a priori knowledge allows to compensate the dominant optical flow and to facilitate the estimation of the rest part by a classical approach. In addition, three different approaches are proposed to detect the focus of expansion. Among them, we propose a novel method for estimating FOE by leveraging the flow norm and the scene structure from an inverse “c-velocity“ process. In addition to improve these preliminary steps, we also propose an acceleration and optimization of the “c-velocity“ algorithm by a multi-thread implementation. Finally, we propose a modification to the original “c-velocity“ approach in order to anticipate a possible cooperation motion/stereo, proposed in perspective, with the “v-disparity“ approach

Abstract:
Un simulateur de conduite dynamique est un outil permettant, entre autres, d’étudier les processus d’intégration multi-sensorielle pour la perception du mouvement et la production du comportement de conduite. Néanmoins, les limitations mécaniques des simulateurs, qui imposent des stratégies dynamiques pour simuler le réel, peuvent avoir un impact défavorable sur la perception et le comportement du conducteur. Cette problématique est particulièrement vraie pour la prise de virages qui demeure une situation difficile à reproduire de façon réaliste notamment à cause des variations importantes d’accélérations latérales. Dans ce contexte, cette thèse présente des travaux de recherches permettant de mieux comprendre les processus d’intégration multi-sensorielle (rôle des informations inertielles et visuelles) pour la perception du mouvement en virages et de caractériser l’évolution d’un percept en fonction des conditions de simulation.En conclusion, il a été démontré que la perception des accélérations latérales est basée sur des processus non-linéaires. Le rôle des informations visuelles et inertielles semble donc dépendre des individus et du contexte (notamment du niveau des accélérations latérales) dans lequel ces stimulations sont produites. Sur la base de l’ensemble de ces résultats, des nouvelles pistes d’amélioration du simulateur dynamique SHERPA² de PSA sont proposées. Il est préconisé notamment d’employer un gain du mouvement latéral dégressif avec l’augmentation du niveau d’accélération latérale
A dynamic driving simulator is a tool, among others, allowing the study of multisensory integration for motion perception and production of driving behavior. Nevertheless, the mechanical limitations of the simulators which impose dynamic strategies to simulate the real can have an adverse negative impact on the driver perception and its behavior. This issue is particularly true for cornering which remains a difficult situation to reproduce in a realistic way, because of massive lateral accelerations variations. In this context, this thesis presents research works allowing to understand the processes of multisensory integration (role of inertial and visual information) for the motion perception in cornering and to characterize the evolution of a percept as a function of simulation conditions.In conclusion, it has been demonstrated that the perception of lateral accelerations is based on non-linear processes. The roles of visual and inertial information seem to depend on the individuals and on the context (notably the level of lateral accelerations) in which these stimulations are produced. Base on of the overall results, new ways for improvement of the dynamic driving simulator SHERPA2 are proposed. It is notably preconized to employ a lateral motion gain digressive with the increase of lateral acceleration

Abstract:
The purpose of this quantitative survey study was to examine if there were any associations between subjective self-rated health, workload and scheduling in relation to habits involving diet and physical activity among personal assistants. This study was carried out as an online based survey where all the participants was selected nonrandomly through one single private company in the middle regions of Sweden. Associations were tested through cross table analysis, also known as Chi2-tests. No associations was established in regards to the thesis main purpose. However, some associations could be drawn between the participants’ willingness to change their current dietary- and exercise habits and their current habits. The main conclusion from this study was that further research is needed amongst personal assistants to determine how their professional life relates to their dietary and exercise habits.
Många människor arbetar i dag som personliga assistenter och den yrkeskategori som detta arbete ingår i är idag den tredje största i Sverige och är idag den yrkeskategori som sysselsätter flest kvinnor i landet. Trots detta så är mängden forskning som bedrivits inom detta yrkes arbetsförutsättningar ytterst begränsad. Syftet med denna undersökning var att kartlägga vilka vardagliga rutiner kring kost och fysisk aktivitet som fanns bland de anställda som arbetar som personliga assistenter på ett privat företag. Studien ämnade undersöka huruvida några associationer kunde dras mellan de anställdas allmänna hälsotillstånd, nivån av sysselsättning, arbetsschema och deras vanor kring kost och fysisk aktivitet. Studien var av kvantitativ design där informationen hämtades från studiepopulationen via en online-baserad enkät. Urvalet var icke-randomiserat där hela den möjliga studiepopulationen erbjöds att delta. Deltagarna kontaktades via SMS och av 420 möjliga deltagare så låg svarsresponsen på 22 %. Utifrån insamlad data så kunde inga associationer dras mellan allmänt hälsotillstånd, nivå av sysselsättning, arbetsschema och deltagarnas kost- och motionsvanor. Däremot så kunde associationer göras mellan deltagarnas önskan om att ändra sina kost- och motionsvanor och hur deras vanor för tillfället såg ut. Övergripande så kunde deltagarnas kostvanor beskrivas som regelbundna och de ägnade sig huvudsakligen åt måttliga mängder fysisk aktivitet. Det låga deltagarantalet innebar dock att resultatets generaliserbarhet inte kunde bedömas som särskilt hög. Den huvudsakliga slutsatsen från denna undersökning var att ytterligare forskning behövs för att tydliggöra hur personliga assistenters arbetsförhållanden påverkar deras vanor kring kost och motion och vise versa.
