Abstract

The research project aims to improve the student's scientific studies of programming techniques and simulations, control systems, identification systems and artificial neural networks. It is proposed the implementation of identification systems algorithms in Matlab/Simulink software. The motivation of the studies is the continuity of the work developed by Rafael de Paula R. Calhoun, FAPESP Process No. 2011/13232-1 on computational implementation of parametric algorithms identification of Knee Joint Leg-foot Set biological model systems. The results of this research can be used by instrumentation and control research groups of the Department of Electrical Engineering on the development of a functional electro-stimulation system for lower limb movements generation of hemiplegic patients and with progress tracking routines.
