Our team is carrying out the project of Planet observation with high precision using balloon-borne telescope. The first model, BBT-1 was equipped with a three stage pointing system and an optical system to observe the detailed structure of the atmospheric motion of Venus. The first flight test was conducted in 2009, and the performance of the system was verified. However, because of a trouble of onboard computer, the flight operation could not been finished as planned. The second model “BBT-2” is now being developed and the next flight test is planned in 2011. The BBT-2 has a bus system including FPGAs and CPU, and it is expected to be more stable than the BBT-1.

We report the stepping reinsertion motion of inner core of telescoping nanotube by In-situ transmission electron microscope (TEM) nanomanipulation. The telescoping nanotubes are fabricated through electrical breakdown at the tip of nanotubes using contact resistance. The smooth reinsertion motion of the core was also observed at long telescoping nanotube. The motion is considered to be caused by the curvature of the outer shells and the gap between the axes of the nanotube and pushing force. As next generational nanoelectro-mechanical systems (NEMS), the stepping motion has a possibility to use for the stepping motion of nanoactuator using telescoping nanotubes.

In this paper, we present the design and concept of a quad rotor tail-sitter UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle). The designed UAV is composed of quad rotors and a fixed wing. It can hover like a helicopter, and can cruise like a fixed wing airplane. In order to verify this concept, a simulator of a quad rotor tail-sitter UAV is developed. Simulation results show the advantage in energy efficiency of the proposed UAV over a conventional quad rotor helicopter type UAV. This paper also describes the development of the quad rotor tail-sitter UAV.

This paper work exploits the effectiveness of subband Independent component analysis(ICA)/blind source separation (BSS) in context with EEG signals over the standard ICA/BSS method. The estimated separating matrix by both methods is further subjected to the EOG corrected EEG signals for the extraction of the temporally decorrelated EEG signals. We propose the novel method for automatic selection of the temporally decorrelated /independent components, which have maximum discriminatory information (that captures the phenomenon of ERD and ERS) among the signal subspace components of signal space. The performance of the proposed method has been evaluated by classification accuracy and Cohen's kappa coefficient (k).

A few devices have been developed for the visually impaired to present figures using their tactile senses. They cannot display differences in various contrast/brightness because the common function of these devices is presentation of dots with pin-up or pin-down. In this paper, we examined preliminary experiment whether subjects could perceive whole figure by the system utilizing pen-tablet and loudspeaker-matrix, with using only one kind of sound (white noise). When the subject traced on the pen-tablet, the loudspeaker-matrix presented sound to indicate the line direction of figure corresponding to contact point. All subjects could trace outline of the figure composed of straight lines by the system.

The robots are expected to perform daily tasks in human environment. To realize such a robotic system, it is necessary to develop intelligent robotic technology to observe the environmental condition and to accomplish tasks. In practice, it is required to develop a robot system which is robust against changes of tasks and environments. This study aims to develop such a robust robot system by using RT component. As an example of a daily task performed by the robot, the task of clearing a table is selected. This paper presents simulation result of the task with several types of robots by applying common RT component.

A linear inverted pendulum (LIPM) is used to model the human dancer's body dynamics in closed changes. Several assumptions are made: a controller is proposed to balance the LIPM; the dance frame is considered as a spring-damper connection; the two dancers are assumed to choose support positions independently. Motions generated by the model are compared with human's real motions. Results of comparisons suggest the model and the assumptions are effective in reproducing human dancers' body dynamics in waltz. Issues in implementing the model on a dance partner robot are discussed.

Emergence in informal groups is a key factor in successful Information System (IS) implementation. In the United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS), information systems are highly specific and designed to support specific functions. But their implementation raises problems. They are inherently non responsive to the emergence that occurs in informal groups in actuality such as doctors, nurses and administrators. The proposed theoretical framework is designed to understand emergence in informal groups as they respond to the implementation of information systems. The framework argues that informal group behavior should be characterized as a Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), which affects the success of IS implementation. The theoretical framework is based on the Theory of Deferred Action, which suggests how emergence can be incorporated into formal design. It can be utilized to understand emergence in hierarchical organizations during the introduction of new IS and to develop strategies to incorporate emergence into the formal design of IS.

C. elegans has been widely studied for understanding the basic mechanisms of nervous system function. In order to examine neural activity in C. elegans, it is necessary to measure a Ca2+ concentration in a neuron. Observers acquire fluorescence images of fluorescent dyes introduced in neurons. Then they can evaluate intensity of the fluorescence images which respond to changes in the Ca2+ concentration. Thus neural activity is examined by the fluorescence images of the neuron. However, observing the specified neuron in C. elegans for a long time is very difficult since a head of C. elegans moves quickly. To solve this problem, we develop a microscope system which can track a particular region of C. elegans and monitor fluorescence emitted by fluorescent protein in C. elegans. In experimental results, we show that the microscope system can track the head region of moving C. elegans and monitor fluorescence emitted by a chemosensory neuron ASER at 20× magnification.

Techniques for determining and correcting alignment of an automated robot screw fastening using visual servoing strategy are developed and proposed in this paper. The new scheme controls continuously the screw aliment stages to avoid process caused failures. To achieve a desired screw aliment, a four DOF robot combined with visual servo feedback is designed to monitor and control. Two camera were equipped at the industrial robot, which is used to measure position error of screw aliment in real time. Tracking of screw aliment was employing image based on Canny edge enhancement and Hough transform algorithms. Visual features were transformed to the robot coordinate frames to allow designing manipulated a robot pose trajectory directly in the Cartesian. Results from experiments are presented which the automated screw insertion system using image processing feedback can be improve the efficient assembly performance.
