SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Effects of Electric Stimulation on Physiology and Anatomy of the Visual Pathway
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nRetinal degenerative diseases that progressively lead to severe blindness impact the affected individual’s quality-of-life. Visual prosthesis technology aims to provide an individual a potential means of obtaining visual information lost to them by blindness. Since the proof-of-concept success in 1968 of a device implanted in a human\, visual prostheses have had sustained academic research and commercial interest. However\, commercial failure of two retinal prosthesis device has raised concerns for the visual prosthesis field. To learn from this experience\, research in this dissertation is aimed at understanding the impact of electric stimulation on the target neural tissue and investigating technology for a visual cortex prosthesis\, which can reach a larger patient population (compared to a retinal prosthesis).\n\nMy first set of experiments assessed\, in an animal model of retinal degeneration\, the condition of the brain and its ability to receive artificial vision information. Retinitis Pigmentosa has been proven to impact the human brain. My study investigated the extent to which this was replicated in a rat animal model of a single genetic mutation of Retinitis Pigmentosa. The P23H-1 rat was investigated with electrophysiology and immunohistochemistry to understand the brain’s function and structural condition. The rat brain’s response to light and electric stimulation was investigated\, and the change of visually evoked responses and maintenance of electrically evoked responses was observed. Histology images show a relatively stable macrostructure of the blind rat brain.\n\nI also performed retinal and cortical implant procedures to test newly developed visual prosthesis technology to enable investigations into researching neural change occurring from blindness and electric stimulation. A retinal device with Parylene-C as its main component was tested and its feasibility in the small eye of a rat animal model was investigated. The device can survive 4-weeks of implantation and is stable within the eye. In support of the development of a novel cortical visual prosthesis device that fits the need of blind individuals\, I used a small animal model first to prove the efficacy and safety of a novel neurostimulation electrode. The device\, named StiMote\, is in preclinical development. I worked to characterize the full ability of the neural interface\, High-Density Carbon Fibers with electrodeposited Platinum-Iridium. The ability of PtIr-HDCF as a recording and stimulation neural interface device was verified using electrochemical measurements before\, during\, and after a long-duration 7-hour electric stimulation session that simulates a full day of device use.\n\nPtIr-HDCF as a neural interface device was verified by my previous work and its improvement in reducing neuroinflammatory response compared to other microelectrode array archetypes has been previously researched. As a result\, PtIr-HDCF can be used as a device to monitor the brain and can better extract the effect of electric stimulation on the brain alone. I recorded neural electrophysiology to verify the rat brain’s sensitivity to stimuli before and after 7-hour stimulation. To supplement the already existing neural implant and electric stimulation inflammation data\, Spatial Transcriptomics as a novel method to define electric stimulation safety was performed. Spatial Transcriptomics showed that PtIr-HDCF\, when compared to a conventional microwire array\, performs better in sustaining neural health by reducing neuroinflammation and eliciting mRNA upregulation of neurotrophic factors.\n\nFindings of this project can be used to better inform future investigations into brain electrophysiology and transcriptomics projects aimed to understand the neural change from blindness and electric stimulation.\n\nCommittee Chair(s): Dr. James Weiland\n\nLocation: 1501 Auditorium\, NCRC Bldg 32  & https://umich.zoom.us/j/91500987159?pwd=RWIvQkZVT2FHZjQ2S1BBS2k0ck1SUT09

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Feedback Control of Highly Dynamic 3D Bipedal Locomotion
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Jessy Grizzle\n\nAbstract:\nBipedal robots have the potential to free humans from tedious or dangerous tasks. Compared to robots in other forms\, a bipedal robot has similar morphology to humans and thus can work in almost all spaces where humans work and requires little to none facility modifications. However\, while many other robots are deployed in real life and are beginning to have an impact\, bipedal robots are hardly seen outside of labs due to stability issues. Bipeds are inherently unstable due to their morphology. A bipedal system is nonlinear\, high dimensional\, hybrid\, and underactuated\, which poses great challenges to controller design. This thesis will therefore focus on developing control methods for biped locomotion. \n\nFirst\, we discuss a controller for a Cassie Robot designed with gait-library methods.  The full 20 DoF dynamic model of Cassie and optimization are used to design seven gaits for walking in place\, forward\, and backward\, while meeting key physical constraints. Moreover\, we show how to practically implement these gaits on the robot. \n\nNext\, we focus on studying the dynamics of bipedal robots. We established connections between various approximate pendulum models that are commonly used for heuristic controller design and those that are more common in the feedback control literature where formal stability guarantees are the norm. We clarify commonalities and differences in the two perspectives for using low-dimensional models. In the process of doing so\, we argue that models based on angular momentum about the contact point provide more accurate representations of robot state than models based on linear velocity. Specifically\, we show that an approximate (pendulum or zero dynamics) model parameterized by angular momentum provides better predictions for a physical robot (e.g.\, legs with mass) than does a related approximate model parameterized in terms of linear velocity. We call the pendulum model parameterized by angular momentum ALIP.\n\nFinally\, we discuss general mechanisms in bipedal balance\, explain why foot placement is the most effective method\, and select it as our major method to stabilize a bipedal gait. We focus on regulating angular momentum about the contact point with the ALIP model. We implement a one-step-ahead angular-momentum-based walking controller on Cassie\, a 3D robot\, and demonstrate high agility and robustness in experiments. We also design a running controller with the same methodology and demonstrated the results in simulation and experiments.
