Accurately forecasting intermittent demands is a concern to many industries. This paper proposes an approach to improve forecast accuracies on intermittent demands given up to 36 months of historical data. The conventional approach to forecasting problems with irregular patterns is Crostonpsilas method. We use different methods based on modifications of Crostonpsilas method to forecast lumpy intermittent demand and non-lumpy intermittent demand. The historical data for lumpy intermittent demand is split into three series while that for non-lumpy demand is split into two. Forecasting is then performed separately on each of the series. The intermittent demand forecaster has been tested on two datasets and compared to Crostonpsilas method. The intermittent demand forecaster is able to reduce average forecasting error by 10.22% and 27.42% compared to Crostonpsilas method for non-lumpy demand and lumpy demand, respectively.

Process in LCD (liquid crystal display) industries has been very rapid and their manufacturing lines require the robots which can handle large LCD glasses and load more LCD glasses into cassette. In order to develop a robot satisfying these demands and verify the design of the concept robot for LCD glass-handling, a prototype robot has been constructed and its performance test has been implemented. The positioning repeatability, fork static deflection and moving speed are tested. The tested results agree with the design well.

This paper presents a system that provides the capability of humanoid robot to separate sound from the mixture of sounds. The system utilizes a Kulback-Leibler minimization scheme algorithm. A nonwhitening post filter, which is a diagonal inverse of the separation filter, is implemented to improve the separation performance. The results show that a real recording of a speech signal mixed with loud music is well separated and the utilization of nonwhitening post filter improves the performance of separation signal in the frequency domain.

In this paper, the statistical characteristic of the troposcatter channel is analyzed and a troposcatter simulation model under fast fading characteristics is established which is based on the WSSUS assumption. The simulated result is compared with the theoretic curve of the BER performance which is derived by calculation. Inconspicuous contrast between them proves that the troposcatter channel model is reasonable and feasible. This model can function as an efficient tool for further studying in troposcatter communication.

The trajectory-tracking problem of the nonholonomic mobile robots with two drivable wheels is solved by an adaptive fuzzy control strategy in this paper. A kinematic controller is firstly presented for the kinematic model, and then, an adaptive fuzzy controller is designed for the uncertain dynamic model with disturbance based on the kinematic controller. The stability of the closed-loop system and the boundness of tracking errors are proved using Lyapunov theory. The simulation results validate its more superior performance through comparisons.

A fast method of plane detection for mobile robot application is proposed using the normal vector of a triangle inscribed in a small circular region such that the normal vector passes through the circumcenter area of the triangle. To reduce the effects of noises and outliers, the triangle rotates with respect to the center position of the circular region, and generates a series of inscribed triangles having different normal vectors. The direction vectors of these generated triangles are normalized and then the median direction of the normal vectors is used to test the planarity of the circular region.

Considering the two-stage flexible flow shop with dynamic job arrival, each stage contains identical parallel machines, and the second stage receives jobs with stochastic arriving time from first stage. To estimate the job completion time at each stage is useful to enhance the customer service or production performances. The completion time of jobs at each stage can be determined with the sum of the stage arriving time, the expected stage waiting time, and the expected stage service time of jobs. The expected stage waiting time of job relates to the utilization rates of machines, which should be corrected due to the idleness of machine. The idle time depends on the number of jobs in the system at specific time. The birth-and-death process can be used to describe probabilistically how the number of jobs in the system changes as time increasing. Note the stage service time of jobs relates to the estimated setup time and the processing time of jobs at each stage. To analyze the accuracy on the estimated stage completion time of jobs, a computational test through simulation is conducted to verify the proposed probabilistic model.
