A CCD camera is used to gather the images of the controlled plant, and a simple algorithm is proposed to analyze the images. Unlike that in the visual servo control systems, the image information is utilized in a more intuitive way via the proposed image analysis algorithm. The difference between a reference image and the current image is numerically expressed and directly used by a fuzzy control system using a human-like control law. To investigate the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy control scheme, it is applied to an inverted pendulum system. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can achieve favorable tracking performance without prior knowledge of the controlled plant.","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114623161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The need for faster development, system reconfigurability and flexibility required the introduction of middleware frameworks for robot systems. One promising middleware framework is the RT-middleware technology (and its implementation named OpenRTM-aist), which is getting more and more popular in robot system design. Vision sensors are one of the most important sensors in robot systems. When constructing a new robot system, it is desirable that vision and image processing components are just as easily integrated as any other robot components. Unfortunately, RT- Middleware is not yet equipped with such RT-Components. This need can be satisfied by introducing a new image processing toolbox, directly obtained from DIMAN, a existing software previously developed by the authors. DIMAN is a distributed framework for image processing, with a modular architecture very similar to RT-middleware. The modules of DIMAN satisfy the needs of robot systems with respect to vision related tasks. This paper will show how the modules of DIMAN can be deployed in RT-Components, and as such, directly integrated into RT-Middleware based robot systems.","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133599767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particularly, it develops the fast parallel tabu search algorithm to minimize sum of job completion times in the flow shop scheduling problem. So called multimoves are used, that consist in performing several independent moves simultaneously, which allow one to guide very quickly the search process to promising areas of the solutions space, where good solutions can be found. Besides, an adaptable dynamic tabu list and varying neighborhood are proposed to avoid being trapped at a local optimum. The proposed algorithms are experimentally evaluated on a personal computer with duo-core processor and found to be relatively more effective in finding solutions of quality better than other leading approaches, and also it makes in a much shorter time. The presented ideas can be extended to cover search methods for other hard problems.","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"328 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115462886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We model an event as an object that describes an action, its location, time, and relations to other objects. Real world event information is extracted from Internet sources, then stored and processed using Semantic Web technologies that enable us to discover semantic associations between events. We use RDF graphs to represent semantic metadata and ontologies. SET is capable of visualizing as well as navigating through the event data in all three aspects of space, time and theme. Temporal data is illustrated as a 3D multi-line in the 3D environment that connects consecutive events. The line is marked with user-selectable objects that represent the events being visualized. Upon an event's selection, SET \"speaks\" to the user semantically associated information via a speech synthesizer. Then, upon the user's verbal command SET can display semantically associated media such as digital images, audio and/or video clips. SET provides access to multi-source, heterogeneous, multimedia data, and is capable of visualizing events that contain geographic and time information.","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121962384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the example of a real cognitive map of a complex and ill-structured situation the analysis of some cognitive risks concerned with causal influence transitivity is carried out. Some explanatory mechanisms and criteria for the early detection of such risks are proposed.

These applications are characterized by many imperatives, with robust precision and dynamic workspace computation as the two ultimate ones. This paper presents a multi-objective optimum design procedure to 3 degrees of freedom (DOF) parallel robots with regards to four optimality criteria: workspace boundary, transmission quality index, stiffness. A kinematic optimization was performed to maximize the workspace of the parallel robot. In order to perform an optimal design of 3 DOF parallel robots, an objective function was developed first, and then Genetic Algorithms applied in order to optimize the objective function. The experimental results demonstrate the advantages of the presented optimization procedure in design of 3 DOF parallel robots, specifically TRIGLIDE and DELTA robots. These advantages are reflected in a presented framework for robust, precise, and dynamically calculated workspace boundaries. Therefore, the performances of the 3 DOF translation parallel robots provide high potential and good prospects for their practical implementation in human-systems interaction.","PeriodicalId":139846,"journal":{"name":"2008 Conference on Human System Interactions","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126348169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
