Conventionally, aerial manipulators, when used for inspection, use drone rotors to stabilize the center of gravity (CoG) shifts, which highly affects its performance. This paper discusses development a self-balancing lightweight cable manipulator that can be construction inspection purposes. The design is based on 3D-printed, three degrees freedom (DoF), planar mounted an extended platform below it as counter-balance mechanism. actuators control links through system, allowing them at system...
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a walking disturbance that can lead to postural instability, falling, and decreased mobility in people with Parkinson’s disease. This research used machine learning predict detect FOG episodes from plantar-pressure data compared the performance decision tree ensemble classifiers when trained on three different datasets. Dataset 1 (n = 11) was collected previous study. 2 10) included six new participants four who were re-tested (approximately years later), 3 21)...
