Visible to the public Model-based Specification Reconstruction

This poster surveys results in the area of specification reconstruction for system models obtained by teams from the University of Maryland and Fraunhofer Center as part of the NSF CPS Frontier program "CyberCardia". The specification-reconstruction problem is this: given a system model, and a template of a property describing a pattern of behavior, determine how to complete the template so that the resulting property holds for all behaviors of the system.

Visible to the public CPS: Synergy: Collaborative Research: Learning Control Sharing Strategies for Assistive Cyber-Physical Systems

Assistive machines such as robotic arms and powered wheelchairs promote independence and ability in those with severe motor impairments. As the field of assistive robotics progresses rapidly, these devices are becoming more capable and dextrous and as a result, higher dimensional and harder to control. The dimensionality mismatch between high-dimensional robots and low-dimensional control interfaces requires the control space to be partitioned into control modes. For full control of the robot the user switches between these partitions and this is known as mode switching.

Visible to the public CPS: Synergy: Multi-Robot Cyber-Physical System for Assisting Young Developmentally-Delayed Children in Learning to Walk

A challenge for assisting young developmentally-delayed children in learning to walk is to (1) stabilize medio-lateral body sway while promoting opportunities for exploratory behavior, and (2) develop gait that exploits exchange of potential and kinetic energy. To meet the challenge, we have built a modular multi-robot CPS: a scaffold that applies forces at the pelvis via cables to modulate and stabilize center of mass behavior, and a wearable robot that applies assistive torques at the hip.

Visible to the public CAREER: Data Representation and Modeling for Unleashing the Potential of Multi-Modal Wearable Sensing Systems

The recent increase in the variety and usage of wearable sensing systems allows for the continuous monitoring of health and wellness of users. The output of these systems enable individuals to make changes to their personal routines in order to minimize exposures to pollutants and maintain healthy levels of exercise. Furthermore, medical practitioners are using these systems to monitor proper activity levels for rehabilitation purposes and to monitor threatening conditions such as heart arrhythmias.

Our proposal's main objective is to realize cyber-physical platform and principles for (i) interrogating global modalities of intracellular transport with causative factors isolated at the single-molecule scale and (ii) realizing efficient and robust infrastructure for transporting micron/molecular scale cargo using distributed strategies We are realizing in-vitro, a transport network with roadways formed by microtubules where motorproteins, kinesin and dynein, will form vehicles ferrying cargo.

IEEE 21st International Symposium on Real-Time Distributed Computing (ISORC 2018)

IEEE ISORC was founded in 1998 (with its first meeting in Kyoto, Japan) to address research into the application of real-time object-oriented distributed technology. Since then, ISORC has continually evolved to meet the latest challenges faced by researchers and practitioners in the real-time domain, with an emphasis on object-, component- and service- oriented systems and solutions..
