The robot is telemanipulated by a haptic device Sensable Phantom Omni. For this task, a basic model of the mobile robot is input-output linearized with dynamic extension and it is controlled safely in a teleoperation task in passivity framework. The advantages of the proposal are: (i) the I/O linearization changes the Qbot kinematics from polar to cartesian, facilitating the matching with the omni workspace and (ii) the stability of the system is ensured from the passivity framework adopted.","PeriodicalId":183401,"journal":{"name":"The 4th Annual IEEE International Conference on Cyber Technology in Automation, Control and Intelligent","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129617415","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 controller, the signal from the FA1(SA1) receptors as the velocity sensors is used for the tactile feedback like task-space P-SD Servo. The velocity of the fingertip seems to be affected by the skin and receptor dynamics. Then the sensor output of the task space velocity signal becomes sensitive in the low-load region. Especially, if the sensor is in the high-load region, the sensor output will be kept but the resolution become low and is able to avoid overload output. This paper focused on the finger-tip dynamics that consists of the tissue and the cutaneous mechanoreceptors called FA1(SA1), and investigate how they affect the control strategy of the tracing motion. In the experiments, we analyzed the nonlinear biomechanical properties of the cutaneous surface and showed that the subcutaneous mechanoreceptors affect human control skill learning. In these experiments, the validity of our hypothesis was investigated.","PeriodicalId":183401,"journal":{"name":"The 4th Annual IEEE International Conference on Cyber Technology in Automation, Control and Intelligent","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121489668","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}

Traditional location-based services for range queries or k-nearest neighbors queries are omnidirectional, in which some query results are probably not interested to a user because they are not on the way to destination. Due to the prevalence of guiding systems and the advances of electronic technologies and wireless communications, most mobile objects on roads move along with the pre-determined paths provided by path planning systems. With the concept of “by the way”, there would be an increasing demand on queries for objects on their traveling paths. In this paper, we define the issue of directional continuous range query for mobile objects on road networks. To address this issue, we not only propose the system architecture of a road network but also provide approaches to determine the safe period in order to efficiently update the query result. We elaborate cases of when to exclude a mobile object from a query result and when to insert a mobile object into a query result. Our experiment results showed that the centralized processing directional continuous range queries has shorter average response time than the distributed one.","PeriodicalId":183401,"journal":{"name":"The 4th Annual IEEE International Conference on Cyber Technology in Automation, Control and Intelligent","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127695254","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}

Previously it was assumed that delays in network communication would inhibit control systems from leveraging networked resources such as remote compute power. Now, industrial and residential applications of the Internet of Things force us to revisit principled deployment and support of distributed sensing and actuation. Web standards provide key resources in the development and support of flexible distributed systems, however the conventional wisdom is that their use adds to the network delay and uncertainty, and makes a difficult control problem intractable. We quantify the effect of an important set of web standards (both formal and informal) in the control of physical systems. The results reported in this paper indicate that although the use of web standards provides an effective path to flexible implementation of distributed control, there are software design choices that impact the observed performance in significant ways.","PeriodicalId":183401,"journal":{"name":"The 4th Annual IEEE International Conference on Cyber Technology in Automation, Control and Intelligent","volume":"26 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132532144","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 intensifying need to obtain oil and gas from more challenging conventional and non-conventional resources will impose very considerable demands on the sector's human, financial and technology capabilities. Since the future supplies of conventional and non-conventional oil and gas are to expand, it will become increasingly necessary to obtain access to resources in more technologically advanced areas. Oil and gas technologies will be destined for hostile, hard-to-reach environments, which could be very costly to operate in the coming future. The offshore oil industry is a complicated myriad of equipment, structures, and work force. Our previous work has discussed the challenges of robotics and automation in the offshore oil&gas industry with severe work conditions. This paper reviews the current technology, presents the requirements of robotics and automation in the oil&gas industry and discusses future research opportunities from a technical perspective. Our objectives are to identify potential applications and research directions of robotics and automation in the oil&gas field and explore the obstacles and challenges of robotic application to this area.","PeriodicalId":183401,"journal":{"name":"The 4th Annual IEEE International Conference on Cyber Technology in Automation, Control and Intelligent","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133939407","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}

Despite advantages of such robotic frames especially in removing stiffness issues, there are still problems associated with the reliable deployment of these modern devices. Problems like singularity, possibilities of guiding fragments along many different trajectories have been handled in this paper. A method has been shown how to detect singularity in displaced, aligned, and intermediate positions of the fragments. How the robotic system could be actuated according to different functions have been investigated, in addition to their effects on trajectories of distal fragment end. These considerations have been demonstrated on numerical examples.","PeriodicalId":183401,"journal":{"name":"The 4th Annual IEEE International Conference on Cyber Technology in Automation, Control and Intelligent","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133308879","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 propose an approach in which physics simulation as mental simulation solves the ambiguity instead of descriptive common sense. The target should be focused on physics problems in entrance examination, because physics problems in examination shares important element in general intelligent robots. we state that the required functions of mental simulation for general intelligent robots in real-world can be reduced to functions for physics problem solver.
