Furthermore, the existence conditions of the preview controller and the asymptotic tracking properties of the closed-loop system are discussed.

The main goal of the system is to fulfill an order, ie, pick all the items in an order list and place them into the order bin, as fast as possible with the least number of unfulfilled items or errors. Picking an item on the list is considered as one task. The system will prioritize and schedule first the tasks with higher chances of being executed successfully. The probability for successful pick is computed from the vision data and grasping information. The items with higher chances of failure to be picked are pushed to the end of the queue. Forty experiments were conducted using randomly generated arrangement of items in a shelf and a randomly generated task order list. The test result shows that the strategy delivers an average fulfillment rate of 90% and an average fulfillment efficiency rate of 71%. The strategy described in this paper could be used to determine items that could be picked with human assistance instead of by robot alone.","PeriodicalId":140598,"journal":{"name":"2017 17th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116459683","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}

Since EMG signals are generated before finger motion, various EMG-based systems have been developed for smoothly controlling a robot hand. We used a simple CNN model for estimating finger motion by classifying images generated from a wavelet transform of EMG signals. The model has originally been used for document recognition, and it contains two pairs of convolution and pooling layers and two fully connected layers. A prototype system composed of inexpensive sensor devices was fabricated for acquiring EMG signals and capturing finger motion. The experimental results show that the test accuracy reached 83% in classifying EMG signals into four types; when a thumb opens or is closed, and fingers, except for the thumb, open or are closed.","PeriodicalId":140598,"journal":{"name":"2017 17th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122380935","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}

Due to external disturbance or model uncertainty that can be treated as disturbance, all control systems are subject to disturbances. When it comes to networked control systems, not only disturbances but also time delay is inevitable where controllers are remotely connected to plants through communication network. Hence, simultaneous compensation for disturbance and time delay is important. Prior work includes a various combinations of smith predictor, internal model control, and disturbance observer tailored to simultaneous compensation of both time delay and disturbance. In particular, simplified internal model control simultaneously compensates for time delay and disturbances. But simplified internal model control is not applicable to the plants that have two poles at the origin. We propose a modified simplified internal model control augmented with disturbance observer which simultaneously compensates time delay and disturbances for the plants with two poles at the origin.

The emphasized lightweight method that's been developed in this paper is composed of two stages: First, the pedestrian detection is done in two steps, initially with Haar-like features of Adaboost for full body detection, and Local Binary Patterns (LBP) for head detection. The chosen tracking algorithm is Probabilistic Data Association Filter (PDAF) for its robustness and lightweight nature.

Deep learning algorithms require vast amounts of data for good performance. Therefore, collecting such a huge amount of high-quality data is crucial to the deep learning-based methods. Data collection is simple but very time-consuming. To cope with this difficulty, in this study we propose a method to generate a dataset by synthesizing the images of background and object. Various images can be generated through post-processes such as adding noise and changing brightness to the images of objects obtained from different viewpoints. Furthermore, we do not need to manually annotate the dataset for object detection because we can calculate the parameters of the bounding boxes from the location and size of object images during the synthesis process. Faster R-CNN, one of the deep learning algorithms for object recognition, was used to verify the proposed method. The performance based on the dataset generated by the proposed method is comparable to that based on the real dataset.","PeriodicalId":140598,"journal":{"name":"2017 17th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129592767","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}

With the development of UAV automation technology, one operator is able to supervisory-control multiple-UAVs. However, as the number of UAVs assigned increases, the amount of information involved is also expected to increase, intensifying the workload for the operator and potentially reducing UAV control performance. Thus, this study compares potential metrics to assess the different levels of workload conditions based on human-in-the-loop experiments. The results indicate statistically significant differences between high-vs. low-workload conditions in eye-tracking data and heart rate data.
