This paper presents the design of an action select mechanism (ASM) for soccer robots using artificial immune network (AIN). Each robot executes its own actions provided by the ASM, and group of robots perform a formation task by collaboration. The proposed mechanism is applied to small-size robot soccer game, in which the global coordinates of the soccer robots are known by image processing. Knowing the positions of the ball and robots on the soccer field, the game strategy is designed by three major procedures. First, according to the situation in the soccer field, a team formation is chosen for the soccer team and a role is selected for each individual robot Second, each robot executes an action provided by the AIN-based ASM to fulfill its role-playing. Finally, the robot action is executed by using a point-to point motion controller. Experiments of ASM based on AIN algorithms include ball tracking and shooting, and obstacle avoidance. The results show that the proposed ASM provide an applicable algorithm for mobile robots to play soccer game.

Electromagnetic actuators are dominant in the macro field. Although there are several hindrances, electromagnetic actuators still have some advantages in the application of micro systems. Piezoelectric actuator is also an attractive drive principle for micro systems due to its large force and simple structure, but some drawbacks inevitably exist. This paper presents a comparative study of both drive principles and a better understanding of the basic performances and limitations of the both principles for the system design.

This paper describes and characterizes an electroporation microchip device and system optimization. This device combines microfabrication techniques, logic circuit, and electrophoresis design to create a multi-function gene transfection device that can be used in a number of medical science research applications. This device consists of two components: a cell-accommodation cavity and electrodes for providing electroporation and electrophoresis electric power. We demonstrated the ability to use electrophoresis force to increase the gene concentration on site-specific surface of cell lines which further enhanced the gene delivery. Meanwhile, the parameters of the electroporation system, which could have an influence on the delivery rate, were optimized by the Taguchi method, resulting in optimized values of 50 mum electrode gap, 80 mug/mL pEGFP-N1 concentration, 6 V applied transfection voltage, and 2-pulse per time with above 95 % confidence. Experimental results showed that the efficiency of gene transfection with an attracting-electric field become much higher than that without an attracting-electric field, and the delivery rate was up to 35.89 % when utilizing GFP genes into NIH-3T3 cells. The electrostatic force can be designed into specific regions, where the DNA plasmids are attracted to provide the region-targeting function. The adherent cells could be manipulated in situ without detachment by this electroporation microchip. The system has several advantages of portable, cost-effective, high transfection rate and easy operation.

Computer assisted surgical navigation becomes crucial as the demand for accuracy and minimal invasiveness increases. During the treatment of tibial fracture with interlocking nail, the most uncomfortable procedure for an orthopedic surgeon is to find the location for distal locking screws. In this study, hands-on practice and implementation of a sound-guided 3D navigation system was discussed for the fixation of distal locking screws in the tibial intramedullary nailing. This system consists of a 3D digitizer arm, 3D coordinate registration/ transformation module and sound-guided navigation module. In addition, the proposed sound-guided navigation module was designed with an audio guiding mechanism through which a sound with different tones and intermittence frequencies will be produced for surgical manipulation. In vitro assessment was performed with a donor bone successfully, and a clinical case of a young male with tibial fracture was also carried out at the operation theater with satisfied results. No preoperative computed tomography or intraoperative fluoroscopy was required.

This paper develops a hydraulic-piezoelectric positioning system for large stroke, high precision and medium/large loading. H-control is used to solve the dual-input single-output control systems. Besides, a decoupling controller is merged for solving the structure coupling problem. The hydraulic servo cylinder serves to coarse positioning and the piezoelectric actuator positions in fine range. Because the hydraulic servo system has high response and large working force, the developed hybrid control system can implement high precision positioning for medium/high loading condition. Both the hydraulic controller and the piezoelectric controller are designed using H-control. The novel hydraulic-piezoelectric hybrid positioning servo system can achieve about 0.1 mum of accuracy for 180 mm of stroke and about 15 kg of loading mass.

In this paper, we develop a new EMV (electro mechanical valve) system using PM/EM (permanent magnet / electro magnet) hybrid EMA (electro magnetic actuator) and achieve the soft landing and the fast transition of the system using a simple PID control. Against the existing EMA using only the EM, the proposed actuator has several advantages like the PM biased AMB (active magnetic bearing) system. First, theoretical model of the proposed EMV system is derived and FE (finite element) analysis is performed to verify the theoretical model. Then, a test rig and a valve control system are built and the dynamic characteristic of the proposed EMA is identified. Finally, the soft landing and the fast transition of the system are achieved experimentally through a gain-scheduled PID control.

A linear moving stage using a commercially available optical pickup head as the key element of the whole system was constructed. An additional object carrier was rigidly mounted to the lens module so that the carrier moved synchronically and consistently with the lens module. The carrier platform can carry light weight objects, such as bio-cells for manipulation or optical fiber in alignment application. A CD holder with a small part of the optical disk taken from a CD was located in front of the lens module. The focusing error signal from the photo diode was used to indicate the position between the carrier platform and the CD. A digital lead compensator with integrator was implemented to improve the transient response and positioning accuracy. Experimental results showed that the moving stage with the above arrangement can successfully achieve the positioning for micro, submicron and 50 nm position commands within the overall moving range of 10 mum. The feasibility of creating a low cost accurate positioning system using an optical pickup head module was successfully demonstrated in the architecture. The cost of the precision positioning system is far cheaper than other precision positioning systems nowadays. The concept of the proposed positioning apparatus can be further extended into making a two stage of moving in X and Y directions by using focusing and radial error signals at the same time.

The development of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) advances the success of microfabricated devices, and microfabricated devices offer many specific platforms that can integrate a laboratory on a chip and manage micro biochemical reaction analysis. Nevertheless, most microfabricated devices, especially in biochip design, depend on semi-conductor or LIGA process so that the configuration of devices is complex and money-consumed. Furthermore, miniaturization in nano-scale isn't always significant in bio-medical reactions. Thus, the aim of our research is to develop a fabrication and detection system of centrifugal-force and thermal management biochip, which improves the complex pumps and valves designed by semi-conductor application in lab-on-a-chip, and it saves time and money in the comparison of traditional lab technology. Our system uses the soft-ware-SolidWorks and computer numerical control (CNC) machine to design microfluidic patterns, the heat pressure machine with feedback control of temperature sensor to design the hermetically sealed biochip, and the centrifugal machine with server frequency conversion motor to lead sample mobility by centrifugal force instead of pumps and valves. The hardware of this system includes three parts: centrifugal machine, heat pressure machine, and microfluidic fabrication; the application of the biochip is to detect clinical and medicine bio-reactions. Our "fabrication and detection system for centrifugal-force and thermal management biochip" developed in this study is a on-table facility and can use in several areas of medical and clinical examinations, it can also combine with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by adding temperature controlling procedure in the future.
