The labor cost and time for taking the minutes can be minimized using a system that can assign a speaker to the minutes. An automatic speaker identification method using lip movements and speech data obtained by an omnidirectional camera was developed. To improve the accuracy of speaker identification, it is necessary to use the extracted data of speech sections. The proposed speech section extraction method was studied as a preprocessor for speaker identification. The proposed method consists of three processes: i) extraction of speaking frames using lip movements, ii) extraction of speaking frames using voices, and iii) discrimination of speech sections using these extraction results. In the extraction of speech sections using lip movements, the nose width was used for a threshold for automatic calculation. The speech sections can be extracted, even when the distance between the camera and the subject changes, by using a threshold based on the width of the nose. Finally, 11 sentences of speech video data (154 data) of 14 subjects were used to evaluate the usefulness of the method. The evaluation result obtained was a high F-measure of 0.96 on average. The results reveal that the proposed method can extract speech sections, even when the distance between the camera and the subject changes.","PeriodicalId":161085,"journal":{"name":"The Proceedings of The 9th IIAE International Conference on Industrial Application Engineering 2020","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134138813","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}

A bilateral control system is one of the methods to realize transmission of tactile sense from a remote place to an operator. One of the major systems of the bilateral control system is an acceleration based four-channel bilateral control (ABC) system, which is one of the transparent systems. However, the ABC system transmits large data, position and force information, and/or its derivative value of the master and slave system. This paper proposes a novel admittance-based bilateral control system by using only two communication channels without deteriorating the control performance, which results in communication data reduction. Besides, we apply a prediction-based data reduction method to the proposed system for communication frequency reduction. The validity of the proposed system is confirmed by experiments. The obtained results show the proposed system needs smaller data and lower communication frequency to realize transmission of tactile sense.","PeriodicalId":161085,"journal":{"name":"The Proceedings of The 9th IIAE International Conference on Industrial Application Engineering 2020","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134367367","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}

Stress distribution at the adhesive layer was investigated by using three-dimensional finite element stress analysis, and joint strength was measured by tensile shear test. In addition, the effects of the lamination configuration of the quasi-isotropic laminated CFRPs on the adhesive layer stress distribution and tensile shear strength were examined. According to the analysis results, it was suggested that if the fiber direction near the adhesive layer was inclined, an asymmetrical stress distribution would occur. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that the tensile shear strength tended to increase as the fiber orientation angle near the adhesive layer approached the longitudinal direction of the joint.","PeriodicalId":161085,"journal":{"name":"The Proceedings of The 9th IIAE International Conference on Industrial Application Engineering 2020","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125296546","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 proposed approach consists of four processes: ⅰ) extraction of skeleton data from captured video data, ⅱ) interpolation of skeleton joint-points that were missed, ⅲ) calculation of features using interpolated skeleton data, and ⅳ) construction of action-recognition model using interpolated data and calculated features. We evaluated the action-recognition accuracy performance for 5 types of actions from 6 subjects. The evaluation result achieved a high recognition accuracy of 93.1% on average.

Force information determines the interaction between the robot and the environment. However, there are many restrictions on the use of force sensors. Many force sensors are required for wide range contact detection. The force sensor-less method that uses current and angle information is difficult to apply for high reduction ratio mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating contact force using one force sensor implemented in the base frame. It is necessary to identify the robot dynamics in order to estimate the contact force. Only the base frame force sensor and encoders are used to identify the dynamics. Therefore, it is very easy to apply. In addition, since it is not affected by joint friction, it can be applied to high reduction ratio mechanisms. The proposed contact force estimation method has a sensitivity for the entire robots. Therefore, contact detection is possible no matter where the force is applied to the robot. The effectiveness of the dynamics identification and the contact force estimation is verified experimentally.","PeriodicalId":161085,"journal":{"name":"The Proceedings of The 9th IIAE International Conference on Industrial Application Engineering 2020","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114054448","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}

How to control machine chatter is thus a nontrivial task for years. In this article, the dynamics of turning cutting is modelled and simulated for exploring the feasibility to suppress chattering using spindle speed variation technique. In parallel, a conventional manual lathe equipped with a self-designed sensor module serves as the experiment carrier for evaluating the performance. The results indicated that the simulation prediction agree with experimental data essentially and this ensures the feasibility. Both lumped global cutting constants (LGCC) and dual-mechanism global cutting constants (DGCC) models are adopted in analytical prediction and numerical simulation. Furthermore, process damping has also been added into numerical simulation, results of which are compared with cutting experiments. The critical stable depth of cut of DGCC model with process damping is shown to agree with experimental results. Sinusoidal spindle speed variation is further used to suppress turning chatter. Numerical simulation is used to find out the possible parameters to be applied in cutting experiments. Currently, optimization of spindle speed variation is underway for further improving chattering control.","PeriodicalId":161085,"journal":{"name":"The Proceedings of The 9th IIAE International Conference on Industrial Application Engineering 2020","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128681708","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}

Their performance and robustness against possible environment variation are thus extremely important. Currently, most ABS related research are usually focused on novel controller design and the above issues are less concerned. However, from whole system performance perspective, such concern must be addressed and essential performance index must be defined and characterized. In this work, these issues are implemented using a commercial available Bosch 9 ABS under a self-designed test bench to serve as the reference product for establishing adequate performance index and their benchmark standards for evaluate the effectiveness of subsequent controller designs. Specifically, the variations of three possible factors: braking oil pressure, tire pressure, and normal contact force, are considered to characterize the maneuverability and performance variations of the Bosch 9 module in five aspects: the first slip peak value, average and standard deviation of slip during operation, and the traditional required braking time and achieved distance under using different riding conditions. In parallel, the effectiveness of the self-developed controller is also characterized under the same conditions. The result shows that the self-designed controller has similar response and robustness as that of ABS 9 against the variations of tire pressure and normal contact force. However, the robustness is inferior against oil pressure, resulting inferior responses. In summary, this study proposes a set of benchmark standards on the reference product as the guidance for performance optimization of self-designed controllers and this should be vital in ABS product design iterations.","PeriodicalId":161085,"journal":{"name":"The Proceedings of The 9th IIAE International Conference on Industrial Application Engineering 2020","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117235368","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}

In three individuals, embryonic body movements occurred intermittently and irregularly after 72-h incubation, and frequencies and sizes of movements increased with embryonic growth. Additionally, patterns of the body movements became periodic at 85 h in all individuals, and cyclic periods of body movements were then shortened and periodicities of movements gradually disappeared with embryonic development. If cyclic body movements are a common requirement during normal chick embryo growth, continuous monitoring of body movements could be used to predict abnormal embryonic growth.
