Nowadays, a low birthrate and longevity are proceeding in developed countries. Due to the low birthrate and longevity, there is a shortage of caregivers. Therefore, an assistance of nursing care is necessary. Also, according to a multidisciplinary advance of robots, robots increase opportunities for operating in environment in which human intervene. Operating a robot in human presence is a dangerous for human. Therefore, a signal transmission between human and robots is necessary. This paper uses a cuff of sphygmomanometer as an interface of signal transmission. This interface is attached to an arm of user and an air pressure of interface is controlled to constant. An error between pressure command and response caused by a muscle bulge of user is regarded as an intention of user. An integration of error is given to a manipulator as a position command. According to this system, the interface user can operate a position of manipulator based on the user’s intention.

This paper proposes a new virtue of two facets: a topological facet portrayed by the indirect matrix converter, and a modulation facet symbolized by the pulse width technique. The latter assimilation completes a full integrated five-phase grid-tie topology implemented using digital signal processing operation. This topology provides a stable system concerning its performance, quality of signals, computation time reduction, & unity power factor feature.

This paper considers a visual feedback control problem incorporating the gain-scheduling concept. Specifically, we focus on the stabilization of a pendubot with varying moment of inertia under image distortion. In our previous work, we proposed the controller design method for the above situation. In this paper, the effectiveness of our design method is verified through experiments.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), are generating wide spread data. The success of these trio depends on a well performed cyber-communication infrastructure. This necessitates improving the performance of the cyber-communication internetwork; this performance improvement includes optimization of network techniques as well as the security of the cyber-network. Internet infrastructure has been upgraded to higher level ever than before, where we are enjoying technologies like fibre, 10-gig ethernet and even 100-gig ethernet, but there is no guarantee of communication in the cyber space, internet still providing packet delivery on "best effort" basis. On the other side, cyber hackers are targeting big physical infrastructures, industrial hardware in addition to the financial institutions. Therefore, it has become vital to address secure and faster data communications, in order to improve the Performance of the Internetwork.

Hexarot is a popular member of the axisymmetric parallel mechanisms family. One of the challenges in hexarot manipulators is to analyze their manipulability. In this paper, the kinematics of hexarot mechanisms is addressed. The manipulating ability of hexarot mechanism in positioning and orienting of the end effector is investigated. The manipulability of hexarot mechanism is formulated and illustrated within the different sections of the mechanism workspace using the kinematic formulation and manipulability index relations.

The growing number of intermittent distributed generations units has increased the voltage regulation challenges in distribution networks. This paper proposes a joint voltage regulation in medium voltage and low voltage distribution feeders by employing and coordinating both traditional and emerging approaches. The proposed technique is a three-stage control strategy that suits well the integrated and unbalanced radial distribution networks. In this technique, the reactive power support of delta-connected switched capacitors, installed at the medium voltage feeders, are coordinated with that of the PV inverters, available at low voltage feeders. Factors such as the network’s power loss, as well as the voltage magnitude and balance profiles, are aimed to be improved. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed volt-var optimization model is evaluated by numerical analyses on a real typical distribution network over a 24-hour period.

Accidents caused by a collision between an environment and a robot become a problem, so safety strategies of robots are indispensable. Since the impact force sharply increases at the time of a collision, position-based impedance control which has low responsiveness to the collision can not sufficiently reduce the damage. This paper proposes the manipulator with passive and flexible base for collision force suppression. The proposed flexible base has a rotating structure and it is possible to suppress the collision from any direction when an environment contacts the working manipulator. When a large external force is applied, the variable impedance control according to the strain amount of the base spring in order to avoid the strain limit of flexible base is proposed. Also, when the external force is estimated with force sensorless, the estimation error increases due to the friction model error of the motor, and the position followability deteriorates. Therefore, the contact state is judged by the strain amount of the flexible base, and correction is added to the estimated reaction force, thereby improving the position followability of the impedance control in non-contact.

The paper presents experimental validations of noise power in system under hardware constraints. A system performance is limited by the noises penetrates into the system and the noises power highly depends on hardware configuration. Therefore, appropriate hardware configuration is important to realizes a required specification with minimizing hardware resources. Then, to validate the noise power in the existing hardware setup is significant for the control design. In the control system, a noise power density has relation to an expression of power of numbers and the sampling time of the controller, namely a spatiotemporal resolution. The paper firstly derives a theoretical relation between the noise power and the spatiotemporal resolution and then validates the theory by experiments. The experimental validations show the practical perspective for the controller design and indicates a design guideline of the hardware configuration.
