Computer aided diagnosis is often confronted with processing and analyzing high dimensional data. One alternative to deal with such data is dimensionality reduction. This chapter focuses on manifold learning methods to create low dimensional data representations adapted to a given application. From pairwise non-linear relations between neighboring data-points, manifold learning algorithms first approximate the low dimensional manifold where data lives with a graph; then, they find a non-linear map to embed this graph into a low dimensional space. Since the explicit pairwise relations and the neighborhood system can be designed according to the application, manifold learning methods are very flexible and allow easy incorporation of domain knowledge. The authors describe different assumptions and design elements that are crucial to building successful low dimensional data representations with manifold learning for a variety of applications. In particular, they discuss examples for visualization, clustering, classification, registration, and human-motion modeling.

Recent trends in educational technology focus on designing systems that can support students while learning complex psychomotor skills, such as those required when practicing sports and martial arts, dancing or playing a musical instrument. In this context, artificial intelligence can be key to personalize the development of these psychomotor skills by enabling the provision of effective feedback when the instructor is not present, or scaling up to a larger pool of students the feedback that an instructor would typically provide one-on-one. This paper presents the modeling of human motion gathered with inertial sensors aimed to offer a personalized support to students when learning complex psychomotor skills. In particular, when comparing learner data with those of an expert during the psychomotor learning process, artificial intelligence algorithms can allow to: (i) recognize specific motion learning units and (ii) assess learning performance in a motion unit. However, it seems that this field is still emerging, since when reviewed systematically, search results hardly included the motion modeling with artificial intelligence techniques of complex human activities measured with inertial sensors.

Robots with internal actuation and un-actuated environmental contacts form an important class of robotic systems that includes walking and climbing robots. Since actuation for motion in these robots is achieved indirectly the design and analysis present interesting challenges. In this paper we extend our previously described method called the P-robot Method and apply it to analyze internally actuated robotic systems. We illustrate our techniques by using a simple example of a ladder resting against a wall. Our techniques determine the conditions under which the ladder holds its position against the wall quasi-statically while satisfying the friction constraints and also determine the effects of ladder dynamics on the constraints. These techniques can be extended to analyze more complex systems such as walking and climbing robots and also to human motion modeling.
