Robotics and simulation of equilibrium in athletic exercises

As we know cerebellum has an important role in maintenance of equilibrium, versatility and coordination of body, while its role can not be considered independent. The functioning of cerebellum depends on balanced relation with different parts, such as, cortex, brain stem, etc. vestibular plays a major role in the Equilibrium. Vestibular system is in relation with the small Flocculonodular and adjacent parts of cerebellum and they are also associated with the spinal cord and brain stem. Following the verification of this system and their role in establishment of stability, it was proposed to utilize the vestibular control system for body movement control, robots balance and biomedical systems. To achieve,vestibular was used in control modeling, so that by using of this model, it would be possible to optimize control of a robots. This issue is important in the optimization of robot movement and stability of its motion. The human vestibular system is considered complex controller, considering numerous random parameters and functioning efficiently with low error coefficients. The results could be simulated and applied to various sports which require special emphasis on equilibrium to promote better performance of athletes.we focus on the semicircular canal of vestibular system.
