Sound source localization (SSL) is one of the important techniques used in various engineering fields such as monitoring and surveillance system, and so on. When SSL is utilized in robot auditory system, it is essential for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in that robot can recognize its working environment and what direction a speaker is locating. Generalized cross correlation (GCC) function has been frequently used for SSL due to its fast computation and less requirement of high system resources. Artificial ear which is the robot auditory hardware we are dealing with consists of 2 microphones and a single pinna structure. This is locating on the both sides of robot head where free field condition can't be applicable due to reflected wave caused by robot platform such as robot shoulder, etc. This paper has focused on modification of spatially mapped GCC function, which was proposed by B. Kwon, for application into artificial ear structure. We proposed cleansed PHAT GCC function for use in spatially mapped GCC method. Cleansed PHAT GCC function combines cleansing method and conventional PHAT GCC function for eliminating reflected wave which causes free field condition break down. Simulation results using proposed cleansed PHAT GCC function showed that 93% SSL performance is obtainable when a single sound source exists.

In this paper, we propose an obstacle avoidance system on based vision sensor for an autonomous mobile robot. For real-time turn angle correction, we obtain the state equation of a mobile robot from input-output continuous data. Each individual image pixel is classified as belonging either to an obstacle or to a non-obstacle based on its color property (HSI color model). The HSI color model is less sensitive to illumination changes than the RGB color model. According to proper conditions and reference zones, we chose a path area, a navigation point, and a turn angle. This method uses a single color camera.

FSI occurring in the ink transfer process from the printing roll to the moving web was investigated using a CFD technique for the application in R2R printed electronics. Analysis for the flow-structure interaction was conducted to assess the deflection and stress distributions of the web. In order to make the present analysis more realistic, the metallic ink was idealized by a non-Newtonian fluid and, the numerical geometry and the ink properties were selected to match those of the real printing production system. Our numerical results showed that both web handling speed and non-Newtonian assumption significantly influenced the shape of the transferred ink. As the web moving speed increased beyond 5m/min, a significant distortion of the transferred ink shape occurred. Also, non-negligible web deflection occurs in all the geometries considered in the present work but the ratio of the web deflection to the line width gets smaller as the web handling speed becomes higher.

In modern marine range tracking systems, both Doppler radar and range sensors are often used to enhance the detection and tracking performance against sea clutters. Due to the delays in communication links, however, the measurements of the sensors do not arrive simultaneously to the data processor where the tracking filter operates. Moreover, the magnitudes of the delays vary irregularly. To cope with this problem of uncertain time delays, in this paper, we propose a new range tracking filter algorithm by adding a ZSB (zero-scan-back) MAP (maximum a posteriori) delay estimator to conventional Kalman tracking filter. Computer simulations are carried out to demonstrate the performance of the proposed filter.
在现代海上距离跟踪系统中,通常采用多普勒雷达和距离传感器来提高对海上杂波的探测和跟踪性能。然而,由于通信链路的延迟,传感器的测量值不能同时到达跟踪滤波器工作的数据处理器。此外,延误的程度也不规律地变化。为了解决这一不确定时延问题,本文提出了一种新的距离跟踪滤波算法,该算法通过在传统的卡尔曼跟踪滤波中加入ZSB (zero-scan-back) MAP (maximum a posterori)延迟估计器。计算机仿真验证了所提滤波器的性能。

Nowadays, Earth observation satellites are widely used to acquire high quality, and the satellites should have more observation missions at the same time. In this case, it is useful to develop a systematic command generation method for satellite pointing to acquire wide area image efficiently. In this paper, three efficient methods are proposed to operate Earth observation satellite attitude pointing missions. Analysis of each method with numerical simulation results is also discussed.

This paper proposes a novel policy-iteration-based adaptive optimal scheme for uncertain continuous-time linear systems with excitation signals. The proposed method can solve the related linear quadratic optimal control problem in online fashion exactly and safely. In order to maintain persistence excitation condition, the controller injects the small excitation signals to the system. For this linear system with excitation signals, the policy iteration (PI) technique is investigated to adaptively find the optimal control law in the presence of both internal uncertainties and known excitation signals. For the proposed PI technique, the stability of the closed-loop system and convergence to the optimal solution are mathematically proven. Numerical simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This study presents the design of subsidence monitoring system for industrial machine alignment based on magnetic field method. The system was developed to demonstrate the level of land subsidence in the area of the industrial machine located. A computer was used to collect the data and to display the angles of subsidence over operation period. The measurement module consists of two thin-and-curve permanent magnets (10 mm × 41.5 mm × 1.5 mm) with the outer radius of 24 mm, the curve angle of 120 degree, and the maximum magnetic density of 0.23 Tesla. The gap between these two magnets was 12 mm to generate the magnetic tension force. The sensing module was Hall Generator placed perpendicularly to the magnetic fluxes which can generate the output voltage as a function of subsidence angle and magnetic density on X axis and Z (vertical) axis with the resolution of 100 mV per degree. There were two ranges of measurement according to the angle resolution: -20 to 20 degree at 1 degree of resolution per step and -6 to 6 degree at 0.05 degree of resolution per step.

This work presents that, only using non-invasively captured brain signals, a person can navigate an electric wheelchair with no serious training for a long term. Only two electrodes are set on the scalp non-invasively to detect a P300 EEG signal and a reference signal. A simple signal processing interprets the measured signals to decide a movement direction of the wheelchair. The whole devices are loaded on the wheelchair. No external system is required. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the simple BCI processing to achieve reasonable performance.

The use of robotic assistive devices and exoskeletons to supply movement therapy for the rehabilitation of patients following variety of diseases is noticeably growing presently. In order to provide consistent therapy as well as walking assistance, we are developing a wearable lower-limb exoskeleton robot with an adaptive foot device for better walking ability and enhanced stability. In this paper, we focus on the mechanical design of an active knee orthosis. The proposed kinematic design is inspired by the knee biomechanics. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed configuration will help to provide more natural gait during theraphy sessions of patients or in daily use as a sophisticated system. It is based on efficiently controlling the knee motions with hybrid actuations. The two actuators will be implemented with the proposed design; one as hamstring and the other as quadriceps. It is anticipated that the new system will offer an enhanced walking capacity for the patients.

This paper describes an exploration method based on sonar sensors and a stereo camera. To build an accurate map in unknown environments during exploration, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) problem should be solved. Therefore, a salient visual feature (SVF) extraction method is proposed for SLAM. The key concept of SVF extraction method is to extract meaningful features of environments using SIFT keypoints. The extracted SVFs are applied to the EKF (Extended Kalman Filter)-based SLAM framework. This proposed method was verified by various experiments which show that the robot could build an accurate map autonomously with sonar sensors and a stereo camera in various home environments.
