DATA-DRIVEN POSITION AND STIFFNESS CONTROL OF ANTAGONISTIC VARIABLE STIFFNESS ACTUATOR USING NONLINEAR HAMMERSTEIN MODELS

Data-Driven Position and Stiffness Control of Antagonistic Variable Stiffness Actuator Using Nonlinear Hammerstein Models

In this paper, an optimal PID controller is introduced for an antagonistic variable stiffness actuator (AVSA) based on Hammerstein models.A set of Hammerstein models is developed for the AVSA using the voltage difference method.For each stiffness level, linear and Gift Pack nonlinear Hammerstein models are identified using the least squares method.

Mining metagenomes and metatranscriptomes unveils viruses associated with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients

ABSTRACT We investigated the presence of viral DNA and RNA in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) tumor and normal tissues from nine individuals with a history of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT).Microbiome quantification through DNA and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) revealed the presence of 18 viruses in both tumor and normal tissues.
