The main motivation is an opportunity of neural networks to learn from acquired real driver data, as well as to reproduce many driver behaviour styles raging from extremely comfort to extremely sportive ones. This possibility is shown with a simulated model based longitudinal trajectory generation. This model has used an adjustable comfort parameter for different sorts of driver behaviour. Experiment results, obtained with Audi test vehicle, are also presented.","PeriodicalId":162553,"journal":{"name":"2005 International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124307756","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}

This is especially important if we want to design autonomous robots that can safely co-habitate with humans. In order to manage this, these robots need the ability to detect when the execution does not proceed as planned, and to correctly identify the causes of the failure. An execution monitoring system is a system that allows the robot to detect and classify these failures. In this work we show that pattern recognition techniques can be applied to realize execution monitoring by classifying observed behavioral patterns into normal or faulty behaviors. The approach has been successfully tested on a real robot navigating in an office environment. Interesting, these tests show that we can train an execution monitor in simulation, and then use it in a real robot.","PeriodicalId":162553,"journal":{"name":"2005 International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128704314","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, the severe resonant vibration of a rotor while passing critical speeds has harmful effect on the rotor system. To minimize this vibration effect, this paper shows the active balancing approach using the active balancing device of an electromagnetic type and the balancing control program with a gain scheduling control for real spindle system. The designed active balancing device features a simple structure, fast response, accurate control, and non-contact driving in order to resolve major problems of existing balancing system. In addition, the balancing control method using influence coefficient matrix of a reference model as the gain matrix is proved to be effective in balancing by experiments even though rotating system's characteristics are changed suddenly. The stability of reference influence coefficient is verified by frequency response functions. The active balancing experiment for spindle system with our balancing device and program is well performed during operation, and then controlled unbalance responses are also below the vibration limit at all rotating speed ranges including critical speeds.","PeriodicalId":162553,"journal":{"name":"2005 International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131931923","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}

This work looks at the potential of using uncalibrated visual-servoing robotic systems as an aid for surgeons. The range of tasks involved in minimally invasive surgery present a good set of tasks for the further development of visual-servoing techniques. In this paper we present a test-bed that is used to develop visual servo algorithms for the completion of complex surgical tasks.
