This paper proposes an emotion-generation model for a robot that distinguishes different aspects of a human's personality. The robot reacts differently, depending on the human communication it receives. In this cutting-edge research area, several studies have demonstrated robots that generate reactions to humans by judging their interaction. However, these reactions do not change when the communicating human displays a variety of personality traits. This is because the robot only responds to the input without taking the human's personality into account. To solve this issue, we propose an emotion-generation model for robots that produces different reactions depending on the human communication it receives. In this model, the robot has a degree of intimacy that judges the human's personality. The degree of intimacy increases when the human satisfies the robot's desire and decreases when he/she does not. The simulation results confirmed that the robot shows a friendly reaction to a human with a high degree of intimacy and an unfriendly reaction to one with a low degree of intimacy.

There is a glaring problem in communication systems when it comes to a decentralized robotic swarm. Since a decentralized swarm would limit the awareness of each agent to its immediate surroundings/neighbors, the exchange of information between agents may now prove to be challenging. An epidemic-based broadcasting technique is then presented to resolve the problem of end-to-end agent communication. This paper aims to optimize the information diffusion by means of implementing genetic algorithm to optimize the time it will take for each quadrotor individual to acquire the information coming from a single source (i.e. the quadrotor who first received the information from an external stimulus). The method by which this is done is epidemic in nature. Due to this, for each time there would be a signal broadcasting, the genetic algorithm would be run to determine the next ideal location of each individual. A genetic algorithm was looped several times to achieve the desired solution. The results showed that for each run of the GA, the number of quadrotors having received the information continually increased until the output converges to a fitness level. However this only worked under certain constraints that need to be weighed out properly. This includes the readjustment of the fitness and crossover functions. Also, the parameters of the GA must be well calibrated for proper output response.

This paper presents a new algorithm for tracking the hand during palpation in a breast self-examination video capture using a modified KLT feature tracker. This is implemented primarily using Shi-Tomasi corner detection and Lucas-Kanade optical flow. A novel hand initialization technique was developed using Shi-Tomasi corner detection, outlier elimination, ellipse fitting, and target estimation in order to locate specifically the finger pads. Then, continuous hand tracking is achieved using Lucas- Kanade optical flow and a novel evaluation and screening of displacement vectors. A dataset of 14 video sequences was used to test the performance of the proposed algorithm. Experiments revealed efficient tracking capability of the algorithm with an overall F-score of 94.61%.

Segmentation of the foreground objects is the primary step in many video analysis applications. The accuracy of the segmentation is dependent on an accurate background image that is used for background subtraction. The Teknomo-Fernandez (TF) algorithm is an efficient algorithm that quickly generates a good background image. A previous study showed the extendibility of the TF algorithm to higher number of frames per tournament, with the original 3 frames TF3L to be the most efficient and best configuration for actual implementation. In this study, we examine the performance of the TF algorithm on both RGB and HSV colour spaces using the TF3, 4 configuration and the Wallflower dataset. A simple background subtraction with threshold is implemented. The performances are measured numerically using the number of false negative and false positive pixel count against the provided ideal foreground image. The results show that the TF algorithm implemented using both RGB and HSV generates accurate background images in a wide range of video settings. The HSV implementation exhibits higher accuracies than the RGB implementation for majority of the test videos with the cost of an increase in processing time.

There is an increasing research interest in unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) such as quadrotors. These researches applies these quadrotors for much more complicated tasks with most requiring cameras and GPS modules for positioning. This paper presents an alternative way of position localization of a quadrotor without the use of cameras and GPS modules by means of transceivers and Genetic Algorithm (GA). This paper uses the received signals from the transceivers as inputs for the genetic algorithm in order to locate the quadrotor in a xyz axis. Parameters such as location of transceivers, amount of transceivers and population size of the GA are tested in order to determine a successful way of locating the quadrotor. Results show that the different parameters tested were successful and converges to a point usually with a fitness measure greater than 99%. An average fitness measure greater than 99.9900% served as a benchmark for the tests done. The first test achieved this benchmark at about 130 generations and the second test achieved it at 110 generations. The time it took for the program to locate the quadrotor is about 60 milliseconds. Results show that this blind localization technique is successfully locates the quadrotor and may be calibrated to one's own need.

This research paper discusses the design, development and testing of an integrated splitting and planing machine for pre-cut bamboo culms. The design of the bamboo splitting section was based on existing design of commercially available bamboo splitting machine while the planing section utilized 2 sets of motor powered portable wood planers integrated into the design which simultaneously planes the top and bottom sides of the bamboo strip. The separation of split bamboo strips and sequential transfer to the planing section was designed by the authors and consisted of axial-mounted vanes within a cylindrical pipe that separate the split bamboo strips and move each strip sequentially to an exit slide onto a chain feeder to the planing section. The automation of the process utilized an Arduino Mega microcontroller board which controlled a stepper motor drive and relays to control the feeding chain motor to the planing section. The testing of the individual processes of bamboo culm splitting and strip planing were tested satisfactorily, however, the process of separating the split bamboo strips and sequential feeding to the planing section infeed chain conveyor require further improvements as misalignment problems were observed. The complete process of splitting a 1.2 meter length of bamboo into 8 strips, separation and sequential feeding to the planer and planing process required around 165-170 seconds to complete, however, the strip transfer process had only a reliability of 80%.

This paper discusses the development of a public transit scheduling tool that can be run on a spreadsheet software. The main objective of the paper is to bridge the existing gap between the theoretical knowledge of bus service scheduling and local transport service providers in order for the latter to improve their service. Users of the tool are allowed to input onboard passenger counts, to analyze and graph travel characteristics of a transit line, and to propose a service schedule. This paper includes the theoretical background considered in developing the scheduling tool. The performance of the tool was tested using actual bus survey data. Results show that, on the average, data processes range from 0.80 to 5.63 seconds. Finally, the limitations of the scheduling tool were examined and corresponding recommendations were made to improve it.

Photoplethysmography (PPG) promises noninvasive body metrics measurement, especially that of heart rate. However, this system is prone to noise due to motion artifacts. This paper presents a fuzzy inference system, with membership functions and rules tuned by a genetic algorithm that utilizes the principal components of the PPG data accelerometer data from the x, y, and z coordinates in order to recover the peaks from the distorted PPG signal. A comparative test demonstrated that a 56.66% peak-to-peak correspondence to a reference ECG signal is achievable with the fuzzy-genetic system in place.

A distance education system is designed based on fuzzy inference, where visualized atmosphere information is shared by all learners in a virtual classroom. It provides high aspirations, low isolated feeling, low stress, and high affinity to learners, and offers learner's psychological information, individual difference information, and hints of system improvement to system manager. The effect of visualized atmosphere information to learner's psychological states is confirmed by T score Anger-Hostility (A-H) of POMS test for 15 graduate students using CAI contents, and comparison experiment with traditional distance education in terms of paired t-test obtains p-value 0.011 of A-H. The proposal of atmosphere information presentation of virtual classroom provides a first step of establishing over face-to-face distance education system.
