This paper proposes an architecture of Universal UPnP Bridge that interconnects embedded non-IP devices1 with UPnP network in a fairly easy manner. We define non-IP device description, extended UPnP service description and message field description in order to reduce the amount of effort required to support various non-IP devices. By the descriptions and a message conversion module above, embedded non-IP devices can be connected to UPnP network without additional programming to convert different message formats. The proposed bridge guarantees seamless interaction by abstracting non-IP devices as virtual UPnP devices that performs generic UPnP device's functionalities. And we demonstrate our proposed architecture through implementation and evaluation.

This paper presents the design concepts of a protector developed in series for a small launching reconnaissance robot. By help of an archery device, the protector carrying the small robot could flight to a remote target area, and then let the robot escape from the protector for surveillance mission. The finite element model of the protector including the robot simulated the fracture behaviors of the protector assembly due to hard collision with the ground, and shock tests using the drop table evaluated the shock attenuation from the protector to the robot. Several field tests of 100m-flight revealed that desired motions (launch, flight, land, escape) were achieved successfully.

This paper proposes a disparity post-processing method for noise reduction using standard deviation, and presents the design and implementation of pipelined dedicated hardware architecture for the real-time processing performance. In the proposed method, the optimal standard deviation is calculated first using the parameters generated by iterative experiments. Through these parameters, we can determine whether the pixel of interest has the correct disparity value and can remove error pixels. We implemented the proposed dedicated hardware architecture on a Xilinx Virtex5 FPGA. The average operating frequency of this system operated up to 80MHz, which enabled real-time streaming video processing at 60fps.

An analog front-end design that can improve the performance of the readout integrated circuit (ROIC) for the microbolometer infrared (IR) focal plane array (FPA) is presented. The analog front-end circuit for the microbolometer generally consists of the resistance-to-current (R-I) converter and the capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA). The resistances of the microbolometer FPA are changed when absorbing IR. These resistance changes are converted to the output voltages by R-I converters and CTIAs. To eliminate the VTH-variations and to reduce the 1/f noise, a novel regulated R-I converter with current mirror amplifier and a correlated double sampled (CDS) CTIA are proposed. The output noise of the proposed design is -19.15 dB lower than conventional design at 1 Hz. The chip is designed using the standard 0.18 μm 1P6M CMOS process.

This paper focuses on real-time estimation of optimal control parameters (maximum friction coefficient and optimal slip ratio) in order to secure maneuverability of a mobile robot on rough terrain. This paper is largely divided into two parts; 1) material identification, 2) estimation of optimal control parameters. Firstly, since maximum friction coefficient and optimal slip ratio indicate different characteristics depending on material types, prior to estimation of optimal control parameters, it is needed to identify which material a robot is moving on. Thus, this paper proposes a method for material identification based on soil resistance impeding motion of a robot. Material identification includes Gaussian classifier to stochastically identify one of the material types. Secondly, an estimator is developed so as to predict maximum friction coefficient and optimal slip ratio which are crucial parameters for a mobile robot while effectively traversing rough terrain. Friction-slip curves based on experimental data from a test for analysis of a wheel-terrain interaction are employed to make a prediction model for estimation of optimal control parameters. Results of material identification and estimation of optimal control parameters are verified through one-wheel driving experiments on three kinds of material types: sand, gravel and grass using the wheel-terrain interaction testbed.

This paper presents the scale-invariant isotropy analysis of an optical mouse array for the mobile robot velocity estimation. First, with the characteristic length introduced, the velocity kinematics of a mobile robot with optical mice is described. Then, the uncertainty ellipsoid is obtained to represent the error characteristics of the optical mouse based mobile robot velocity estimation, and the isotropy index is defined as the closeness of the uncertainty ellipsoid to a sphere. Next, using the defined isotropy index, the conditions for the anisotropic, isotropic, and regular optical mouse arrays are derived in terms of the installation positions of optical mice, along with the corresponding characteristic lengths.

Human being has been familiar with mobile system such as smart phone, tablet PC and smart robot-cleaner. These systems differ from fixed type system. Fixed system's power is normally supplied from socket outlet. However, battery supplies power to mobile system; battery have become important energy source in system that has mobility. Therefore, researchers have interested in the mobile system to have long life-span. They have studied on battery management and algorithm of battery state. Further, researchers have tried to use renewable energy to replace the energy source or to use as a back-up power. This paper study on expanding mobile system life-span by considering the discharge and charge characteristic of battery.

We propose a new approach to control of mobile robot of trajectory following and fuzzy perception concept with a nonholonomic mobile robot named ROBO-N. The main focus of this paper is obtaining a fuzzy perception of the environment in the design of each reactive behavior and solving the problem of behavior combination to implement a fuzzy behavior based control architecture. It should be remarked that, the proposed technique of the nonholonomic constraints are considered in the design of each behavior. Furthermore, in order to improve the capabilities of the intelligent control system and its practical applicability, teleoperation and planned behaviors, together with their combination with reactive ones, have been considered. Experimental results, of an application to control the ROBO-N Robot autonomous vehicle, demonstrate the robustness of the proposed method.
