CPS: Small: Mathematical, Computational, and Perceptual Foundations for Interactive Cyber-Physical Systems

CPS：小型：交互式网络物理系统的数学、计算和感知基础本研究的目标是创建接口，使感觉运动功能受损的人能够控制交互式网络物理系统，如假肢、轮椅、汽车和飞机。该方法基于这样一个前提，即仅仅通过扭曲提供给人类用户的感知反馈就可以显著提高性能。通过解决一些潜在的数学和计算挑战，将开发一种系统的方法来设计这种反馈。智力上的优点在于感知反馈的构建方式。稳定性和避免碰撞等局部性能标准由潜在函数编码，这些函数的梯度用于扭曲显示。像最优导航这样的全局性能标准是由运动原语语言上的条件概率编码的，这些概率的度量嵌入被用来扭曲显示。总之，这两种类型的反馈有助于提高安全性和性能，同时仍然允许用户保留对系统的完全控制。如果成功，这项研究可以改善那些遭受截肢或中风等身体衰弱疾病的人的生活，也可以保护像司机或飞行员这样因疲劳、无聊或滥用药物等暂时性疾病而受损的人。本科和研究生工程专业的学生将受益于参与研究项目，K-12学生和教师将受益于在工程开放日，每年由工程学院在伊利诺伊大学主办的活动中展示的展品的参与。

CPS:Small:Mathematical, Computational, and Perceptual Foundations for Interactive Cyber-Physical SystemsThe objective of this research is to create interfaces that enable people with impaired sensory-motor function to control interactive cyber-physical systems such as artificial limbs, wheelchairs, automobiles, and aircraft. The approach is based on the premise that performance can be significantly enhanced merely by warping the perceptual feedback provided to the human user. A systematic way to design this feedback will be developed by addressing a number of underlying mathematical and computational challenges.The intellectual merit lies in the way that perceptual feedback is constructed. Local performance criteria like stability and collision avoidance are encoded by potential functions, and gradients of these functions are used to warp the display. Global performance criteria like optimal navigation are encoded by conditional probabilities on a language of motion primitives, and metric embeddings of these probabilities are used to warp the display. Together, these two types of feedback facilitate improved safety and performance while still allowing the user to retain full control over the system.If successful, this research could improve the lives of people suffering from debilitating physical conditions such as amputation or stroke and also could protect people like drivers or pilots that are impaired by transient conditions such as fatigue, boredom, or substance abuse. Undergraduate and graduate engineering students will benefit through involvement in research projects, and K-12 students and teachers will benefit through participation in exhibits presented at the Engineering Open House, an event hosted annually by the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois.
