In this paper, an integral fuzzy terminal sliding mode control (IFTSMC) scheme is proposed for trajectory control of an omni-directional mobile robot (ODMR). This control scheme combines the techniques of terminal attractor approach, integral sliding-mode control and fuzzy logic control which can drive the posture error and velocity error to zero at finite time. All the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Displacement amplification ratio and input stiffness are significant design characteristics for an ultra-precision positioning flexure-based compliant mechanism. Early and accurate performance prediction models can significantly improve the reliability and availability of product in the field of ultra-precision positioning, but Existing theoretic models cannot predict its characteristics accurately and make it very difficult to error compensation by means of these models. This paper provides a set of uncanonical linear homogeneous equations for calculating a classic bridge-type mechanical amplifier performance, these closed-form equations are established based on the thought of statically indeterminate structure, including Force Method, Maxwell-Mohr Method and deformation compatibility. Subsequently, case studies involving the calculation results compared with FEA, geometric parameters' influence discussion and modal analysis using FEA simulation are presented. This proposed analytical model is applicable and reliable to the bridge-type micro-displacement amplifier design and verification. Furthermore, the present model can be used in any other over-constrained flexure-based amplifier.

Evolutionary robotics is an approach that employs evolutionary computation to develop a controller for an autonomous robotic system. Evolutionary computing usually operates depending on a population of candidate controllers, initially selected from a random distribution. The population is iteratively modified according to the fitness function. In this paper, an automatic control system is designed for quadruped robots using an Evolutionary Neural Network (ENN) and the performance is measured in terms of the distance travelled by the robot from its origin. The evolved neural controllers are analyzed in the simulation environment and the results are implemented in a real quadruped robot. The comparison between the simulated and real robot shows the performance of the quadruped robot in terms of number of iterations over the distance covered in the desired direction. The developed ENN helps the robot to choose the best possible solution to achieve the maximum distance.

This paper proposes a method of constituting the formation of a multi-robot system for exploration and monitoring. First, we apply a method of multi-objective behavior coordination for integrating behavior outputs from the fuzzy control for collision avoidance and target tracing. Second, we apply a spring model to calculate the temporary target position of each robot for the formation behavior. Third, we constitute monitoring formation, which is realized by enclosing behavior of multi-robot. Finally, we discuss the effectiveness of the proposed method through several simulation results.

In order to generate or tune fuzzy rules, Neuro-Fuzzy learning algorithms with Gaussian type membership functions based on gradient-descent method are well known. In this paper, we propose a new learning approach, the Quaternion Neuro-Fuzzy learning algorithm. This method is an extension of the conventional method to four-dimensional space by using a quaternion neural network that maps quaternion to real values. Input, antecedent membership functions and consequent singletons are quaternion, and output is real. Four-dimensional input can be better represented by quaternion than by real values. We compared it with the conventional method by several function identification problems, and revealed that the proposed method outperformed the counterpart: The number of rules was reduced to 5 from 625, the number of epochs by one fortieth, and error by one tenth in the best cases.

In the four arithmetic operations of ECC, multiplication is the most important arithmetic operation. Efficient hardware implementation of arithmetic operations, specially multiplication operation, over the finite field using Gaussian normal basis is attractive. In this paper, we proposed a digit-serial Gaussian normal basis multiplier in GF(2m). The proposed multiplier is based on the subquradtic Toeplitz matrix-vector product approach. We use Tensor product to design 4-way splitting method of TMVP. The main advantage of the proposed multiplier is can be designed and implementation in a small size.

Lossless data hiding is a newly developed topic in information security researches. With the term of 'lossless', secret information is embedded into original image with methods developed by researchers at the encoder, and marked image is produced. Correspondingly, at the decoder, users are capable of perfectly separating the embedded secret and original image from the marked image, based on the reasonable amount of side information, and it is the major reason for the name of 'lossless'. In this paper, we propose an optimized method based on hybrid prediction for lossless data hiding. With the characteristics of the original image, the predicted image can be produced firstly. Then, difference values between the two are utilized for the embedding of secret information. And finally, the marked image can be obtained by adding back the modified difference values. With the properly designed fitness function to control the error between original image and marked one, enhanced amount of secret information can be embedded. Besides, the amount of side information is reasonable for decoding. With the optimization of genetic algorithm, simulation results have revealed that with the same quality of marked images, increased amount of secret information can be observed with our algorithm. It also provides the flexibility in the design of fitness function to meet the needs for practical implementations.

In the past decades, with the rapid development and growth of educational technology and mobile communication technology, many prior studies show that the teaching approaches of English as a second language (ESL) have shifted from in-class instruction, to computer-assisted instruction (CAI), to mobile-assisted language learning (MALL). This study aims to establish a mobile-assisted language teaching (MALT) model by analyzing two small scale studies involving the mobile application, LINE, to assist in ESL learners' general and English for specific purposes (ESP) learning. Regardless of length of the mobile-assisted language instructions in the two cases, the results show that the students made progress in their English performance and their English learning motivation, thus enhancing their attitudes. The MALT model generated from the two cases can aid teachers and researchers in the fields of ESL, ESP, TESOL, and educational technology in enhancing their teaching efficiency and students' learning performance.
