When SSL is utilized in robot auditory system, it is essential for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) in that robot can recognize its working environment and what direction a speaker is locating. Generalized cross correlation (GCC) function has been frequently used for SSL due to its fast computation and less requirement of high system resources. Artificial ear which is the robot auditory hardware we are dealing with consists of 2 microphones and a single pinna structure. This is locating on the both sides of robot head where free field condition can't be applicable due to reflected wave caused by robot platform such as robot shoulder, etc. This paper has focused on modification of spatially mapped GCC function, which was proposed by B. Kwon, for application into artificial ear structure. We proposed cleansed PHAT GCC function for use in spatially mapped GCC method. Cleansed PHAT GCC function combines cleansing method and conventional PHAT GCC function for eliminating reflected wave which causes free field condition break down. Simulation results using proposed cleansed PHAT GCC function showed that 93% SSL performance is obtainable when a single sound source exists.","PeriodicalId":158687,"journal":{"name":"ICCAS 2010","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115362840","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}

Analysis for the flow-structure interaction was conducted to assess the deflection and stress distributions of the web. In order to make the present analysis more realistic, the metallic ink was idealized by a non-Newtonian fluid and, the numerical geometry and the ink properties were selected to match those of the real printing production system. Our numerical results showed that both web handling speed and non-Newtonian assumption significantly influenced the shape of the transferred ink. As the web moving speed increased beyond 5m/min, a significant distortion of the transferred ink shape occurred. Also, non-negligible web deflection occurs in all the geometries considered in the present work but the ratio of the web deflection to the line width gets smaller as the web handling speed becomes higher.","PeriodicalId":158687,"journal":{"name":"ICCAS 2010","volume":"241 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115504169","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 the delays in communication links, however, the measurements of the sensors do not arrive simultaneously to the data processor where the tracking filter operates. Moreover, the magnitudes of the delays vary irregularly. To cope with this problem of uncertain time delays, in this paper, we propose a new range tracking filter algorithm by adding a ZSB (zero-scan-back) MAP (maximum a posteriori) delay estimator to conventional Kalman tracking filter.

For this linear system with excitation signals, the policy iteration (PI) technique is investigated to adaptively find the optimal control law in the presence of both internal uncertainties and known excitation signals. For the proposed PI technique, the stability of the closed-loop system and convergence to the optimal solution are mathematically proven.
