Linear time-invariant Systems

901
A system is linear if it displays the characteristics of homogeneity and additivity, together termed the superposition property. This principle is fundamental in all linear systems. Linear time-invariant (LTI) systems include systems with linear elements and constant parameters.
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be...

Relative Velocity in One Dimension

10.1K
The understanding of the concept of reference frames is essential to discuss relative motion in one or more dimensions. When we say that an object has a certain velocity, we must state the velocity with respect to a given reference frame. In most examples, this reference frame has been Earth. For instance, if a statement reads that a person is sitting in a train moving at 10 m/s east, then it implies that the person on the train is moving relative to the surface of Earth at this velocity,...

Relative Velocity in Two Dimensions

9.1K
Relative velocity is the velocity of an object as observed from a particular reference frame, or the velocity of one reference frame with respect to another reference frame. The concept of relative velocity can be used to describe motion in two dimensions. Consider a particle P and two reference frames S and S′. The position of the origin of S′ as measured in S is , the position of P as measured in S′ is , and the position of P as measured in S is , which can be evaluated by utilizing...

If the rotational definitions are compared with the definitions of linear kinematic variables from motion along a straight line and motion in two and three dimensions, we can observe a mapping of the linear variables to the rotational ones.
When comparing the linear and rotational variables individually, the linear variable of position has physical units of meters, whereas the angular position variable has dimensionless units of radians, as it is the ratio of two lengths. The linear velocity...

Relative Motion Analysis - Velocity

A stroke engine has a slider-crank mechanism that converts rotational motion from the crank into linear motion of the slider or vice versa. This mechanism consists of three main parts: the crank, the connecting rod, and the slider.
When an external force is exerted, it sets the crank into a rotational movement. This, in turn, instigates the motion of the connecting rod, leading to what is referred to as a general plane motion. This process involves two key points - point A on the connecting rod...

    Summary

    Human walking can be controlled with a single, sparse linear model, simplifying controllers for prostheses and exoskeletons. This phase-invariant approach accurately represents joint dynamics, challenging the need for multiple controllers per gait phase.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Robotics
    • Control Systems Engineering

    Background:

    • Human walking is a complex process, typically modeled with distinct controllers for each of its four gait phases.
    • This assumption is prevalent in the design of lower limb assistive devices like prostheses and exoskeletons.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate if a single, simplified controller can accurately represent human walking dynamics.
    • To challenge the conventional multi-controller paradigm in lower limb assistive device design.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of joint torque, angle, and velocity data from seven healthy subjects during normal walking.
    • Development and comparison of a one-phase sparse linear controller against a four-phase non-sparse controller and a one-phase fully sparsified controller.

    Main Results:

    • A single-phase sparse linear controller explained 96.1% of human walking data, comparable to a complex four-phase controller (98.7%).
    • This simplified model significantly outperformed a fully sparsified one-phase controller (11.9%).
    • The proposed controller demonstrates a phase-invariant relationship between joint torques, angles, and velocities.

    Conclusions:

    • A single, phase-invariant sparse linear controller can effectively represent human walking dynamics.
    • This finding suggests simpler control strategies for advanced prostheses and exoskeletons.
    • The proposed model offers a more parsimonious approach to developing competent assistive and augmentative robotic devices.
