Enhancing time synchronization between host and node stations using a fuzzy proportional-integral approach for EtherCAT-based motion control systems.

Real-time synchronization for the servo system becomes one of the most popular themes in the Industry 4.0 era. Each connected agent publishes its data and mutual information in the shared protocol while host station plays a role as coordinator among them.

RRT-CS: A free-collision planner for capsule-like SCORBOT by iterated learning.

In this study, we present an enhanced Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT) algorithm integrated with a visual servoing technique for recognizing unknown environments. The robotic platform utilized is the SCORBOT-ER-VII, which consists of five links, servo motors, gearboxes, and an end-effector. Several target objects are used to define the initial position, obstacles, and destination.

Using an intelligent control scheme in the open-source design on non-invasive rehabilitation platform of physical therapy for patient.

In the context of global pandemic, hospital or healthcare center is very sensitive for patients. However, the injuried patients must maintain their medical orders to rehabililate as soon as possible, otherwise, the clinical treatment could be interruptted. To overcome these troubles, an open-source design of mechanical machine for non-invasive method (NIPPT) is firstly introduced.
