Using the proposed strategy, an operator feels as if the manipulator is operated through a virtual spring. Basic algorithm is that difference of command and telemetry data due to the time delay is displayed to an operator by force reflection of a hand controller. Also, the force reflection includes a contact force applied to the manipulator. In operation without contact, force reflection becomes to be zero when the manipulator finishes its motion. Under condition of contact, force reflection continues to be applied even if the manipulator stops its motion. Change of force reflection suggests: occurrence of contact; force release of the manipulator; and manipulator moving. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was confirmed by teleoperation experiment, especially focusing on calculation of force reflection and command input.","PeriodicalId":162553,"journal":{"name":"2005 International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation","volume":"22 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":"126724157","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}

At these stages, sensors monitor the features of the product. In this paper, the information produced by the sensors is employed to detect abrupt changes in process variables. The developed algorithms contribute to an on-line application to a manufacturing system. A literature survey revealed the most common methods utilized in change detection. On-line applicability and transferability to new manufacturing lines are the most important features for real applications. During both on-line and off-line tests, some of the presented methods showed satisfactory results. Real-time, on-line manufacturing environment sets also its requirements for the applications. In the future, the possibility of combining expert knowledge with the aforementioned methods is the crucial point to study. The information thus received has usage in the preventive maintenance and quality control.","PeriodicalId":162553,"journal":{"name":"2005 International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation","volume":"20 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":"126781762","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}

An example of application is given for a neural control lever of a wheelchair. The research of solutions to the problem of hardware/software codesign, is a major task in the definition of a unique, structured and automatic methodology, providing the acceleration of design process and the dynamic evaluation of different compromises. data flow Petri nets are an efficient solution to make it possible and the use of a hardware description language, allows their implementation on programmable chips. The example described in this paper deals with a wheelchair whose commands can adapt to handicap. For some handicapped people, the use of a wheelchair can be difficult, due to weak physical capacities or cognitive troubles. So, the human-machine interface must be modular, configurable and easy to implement. It must bring reliability and use non specific material as often as possible. Therefore, the FRACAH project (Fauteuil Roulant A Commande Adaptee au Handicap) has been developed in order to proceed to evaluations. For example, its lever is handled by an artificial neural network that records functional limitations of the hand, and then compensates them. Some experiments have been done with hand disabled students.","PeriodicalId":162553,"journal":{"name":"2005 International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation","volume":"19 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":"128456245","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 model structure consists of locally linear, clustered principal component regression modules. This scheme is motivated by a novel neuro-cognitive theory; the goal in this paper is to assess the plausibility of the scheme. As an application example, a complex dynamical system, that is, a simulation model of a walking biped robot, is used. For the data collection, the robot is first controlled by simple separate PD controllers; it turns out that the clustered regression model is accurate enough to replace the original controller and to reproduce the example gait very well. The optimization of the behavior by updating the regression structure, however, appears to be quite difficult. It turns out that the robustness that is necessary for optimizing the model cannot be reached.","PeriodicalId":162553,"journal":{"name":"2005 International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation","volume":"31 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":"129760409","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 this paper, we apply a steady-state genetic algorithm for acquiring the suitable network structure through the interaction with the environment.

This enables the robot to compress incoming sensory information and to find informational relationships between sensors. The method is applied to creating sensoritopic maps of the informational relationships of the sensors of a developing robot, where the informational distance between sensors is computed using information theory and adaptive binning. The adaptive binning method constantly estimates the probability distribution of the latest inputs to maximize the entropy in each individual sensor, while conserving the correlations between different sensors. Results from simulations and robotic experiments with visual sensors show how adaptive binning of the sensory data helps the system to discover structure not found by ordinary binning. This enables the developing perceptual system of the robot to be more adapted to the particular embodiment of the robot and the environment.","PeriodicalId":162553,"journal":{"name":"2005 International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation","volume":"35 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":"132819570","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 the new robot hand, the authors mainly focus on additions of the degrees of freedom of independent motion to the terminal fingers and the degree of freedom of twisting motion to the thumb. Experiments were carried out to investigate force control characteristics of the finger tip joint. The results showed that providing the finger tip with rich force control performance even with weak force is effective for securing delicate control characteristics in a humanoid robot hand.","PeriodicalId":162553,"journal":{"name":"2005 International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation","volume":"2 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":"132127834","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}
