Asynchronous Intermittent Regulation of Human Arm Movement with Markovian Jumping Parameters.

Abstract

In this paper, the regulation stability problem of the human arm continuous movement is investigated based on Markovian jumping parameters. In particular, the intermittent control mechanism is adopted in the arm movement regulation procedure to model the human intermittent motor control strategy. Furthermore, by taking into account the Markovian jumping parameters with different modes, the asynchronous regulation issue is proposed to model mode mismatch between the motor control and arm movement. On the basis of model transformation, sufficient stability conditions are established during the arm movements, and the desired regulation gain can be obtained by the convex optimization method. In the end, an illustrative example is presented to show the applicability and effectiveness of our developed model and optimized regulation approach.
