Robust finite-time control approach for robotic manipulators (2010)
Journal Article
Gao, F., Zhao, D., Li, S., & Zhu, Q. (2010). Robust finite-time control approach for robotic manipulators. IET Control Theory and Applications, 4(1), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-cta.2008.0014

In this study, a new robust finite-time stability control approach for robot systems is developed based on finite-time Lyapunov stability principle and proved with backstepping method. The corresponding stability analysis is presented to lay a founda... Read More about Robust finite-time control approach for robotic manipulators.

Accumulative drift model of inertial platform under high frequency linear vibration (2010)
Journal Article
Min Zhu, Q., Fu, Z. X., Zhu, Q., & Nouri, H. (2010). Accumulative drift model of inertial platform under high frequency linear vibration. International Journal of Advanced Mechatronic Systems, 2(1-2), 117-123. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJAMechS.2010.030855

In this study a simplified accumulative drift model is developed to describe the operation of inertial platform under high frequency linear vibration. By featuring the accumulative, rather than instant effect of vibration on the drift of the inertial...

Hilbert huang transform impedance measurement data for cellular toxicity monitoring (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Wang, Z., Zhu, Q., Kiely, J., & Luxton, R. W. (2009). Hilbert huang transform impedance measurement data for cellular toxicity monitoring. In N. NA (Ed.), International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (767-772). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICNSC.2009.4919375

This paper investigates the Hilbert-Huang transformation (HHT), which is adaptive analysis of nonlinear and non-stationary signals. The aim of this study is to apply HHT to impedance measurement data analysis in order to discriminate different types...

A correlation-test-based validation procedure for identified neural networks (2009)
Journal Article
Zhang, L. F., Zhu, Q. M., & Longden, A. (2009). A correlation-test-based validation procedure for identified neural networks. IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, 20(1), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1109/TNN.2008.2003223

In this study, an enhanced correlation-test-based validation procedure is developed to check the quality of identified neural networks in modeling of nonlinear systems. The new computation algorithm upgrades the validation power by including a direct... Read More about A correlation-test-based validation procedure for identified neural networks.

Development of a new EDRNN procedure in control of human arm trajectories (2008)
Journal Article

In this paper the trajectory tracking control of a human arm moving on the sagittal plane is investigated by an interdisciplinary approach with the combination of neural network mapping, evolutionary computation, and dynamic system control. The arm i... Read More about Development of a new EDRNN procedure in control of human arm trajectories.

Adaptive observer-based non-linear stochastic system control with sliding mode schemes (2008)
Journal Article
Liu, J., Qiao, F., Zhu, Q., & Zhang, F. (2008). Adaptive observer-based non-linear stochastic system control with sliding mode schemes. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering, 222(7), 681-690. https://doi.org/10.1243/09596518JSCE585

In this paper, an adaptive sliding mode observer is designed to reconstruct the states of non-linear stochastic systems with uncertainties from the measurable system output and the reconstructed states are employed to construct a sliding mode control...

Mathematical modelling analysis of male urine flow traces
Presentation / Conference
Li, R., Gammie, A., Zhu, Q., & Nibouche, M. Mathematical modelling analysis of male urine flow traces

Differentiating non-invasively detrusor underactivity (DU) from bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in men remains a challenge. Invasive pressure flow studies (PFS) are still required despite many years of study. The shape of the urine free flow curve h...

Median frequency and sum of amplitude changes in rising slope: Two potential non-invasive indicators for differentiating DU from BOO in males
Presentation / Conference
Li, R., Gammie, A., Zhu, Q., & Nibouche, M. Median frequency and sum of amplitude changes in rising slope: Two potential non-invasive indicators for differentiating DU from BOO in males. Presented at International Continence Society annual meeting 2018

It remains a challenge to non-invasively differentiate detrusor underactivity (DU) from bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in males, and the gold standard is pressure flow studies, which is invasive, relatively expensive and may cause bleeding and infe...
