Also we are using a belief model of evidence theory with belief, disbelief and uncertainty functions. Our proposed model expands the range of service source via active trust of object, which makes the access path to resource more flexible.","PeriodicalId":201931,"journal":{"name":"INTERACT-2010","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133227500","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}

Choice of materials for mechanical components/subassemblies besides the main housing structure is of technical importance. Fully assembled Rotary joint duly mounted and driven by suitable driving mechanism, needs to meet certain stringent mechanical, electrical and environmental specifications, particularly for defence applications. The main objective of the design was met from proper choice of materials, which are implementable through the process of castings, machining, fabrication of number of components and completing their assembly. The material selection process for various component designs is in full compliance with the technical requirements projected by the user. Design is done in such a way that it is cost effective and efficient.","PeriodicalId":201931,"journal":{"name":"INTERACT-2010","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128992261","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 past decade, researchers have made many improvements on the different systems required for developing practical nanorobots, such as sensors, energy supply, and data transmission. A few generations from now someone diagnosed with cancer will be offered a new alternative to chemotherapy. The traditional treatment of radiation that kills not just cancer cells but healthy human cells as well, causing hair loss, fatigue, nausea, depression, and a host of other symptoms. A doctor practicing nanomedicine would offer the patient an injection of a special type of nanorobot that would seek out cancer cells and destroy them, dispelling the disease at the source, leaving healthy cells untouched. The extent of the hardship to the patient would essentially be a prick to the arm. A person undergoing a nanorobotic treatment could expect to have no awareness of the molecular devices working inside them, other than rapid betterment of their health.

To formulate optimal control problem, an appropriate objective function is assumed and the full nonlinear dynamic equations of non-holonomic mobile robot are used as constraints of problem. Also, for obstacles avoidance of mobile robot in presence of multi obstacles, the appropriate distance potential functions are applied to the objective function. By employing indirect solution of optimal control, the necessary equations of optimal motion planning are derived which can be solved numerically. Beyond the simplicity of our procedure, the presented method is able to plan optimal motion of non-holonomic mobile robots in the cluttered environment with multi obstacles. Finally, in order to demonstrate the power and efficiency of algorithm, a number of simulations are performed which truly show applicability of method.","PeriodicalId":201931,"journal":{"name":"INTERACT-2010","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123634200","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}

Images and videos acquired by the vision based sensors can provide meaningful information about the environment, which can be very useful for the navigation of autonomous system like mobile robots. To extract road information from image frames for navigation purpose they have to be classified. Classification is the process of assigning label to the image pixels. Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) is a model based segmentation method to group image pixels, where the parameters of the model are learned by Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. This paper we introduce a top-down supervised learning to assign logical labels to multiple modes created by GMM. This paper also explains the rejection criteria implemented in GMM based classification, which ensures that only pixels with strong road signature are assigned to road class. Contiguity is also applied to get robust classification output. These enable meaningful classification of images of same or similar scenes.","PeriodicalId":201931,"journal":{"name":"INTERACT-2010","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122041049","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 line following robot is designed using sensor operated motors to keep track the line path predetermined for library book shelf arrangements. The robot carries a barcode reader which collects the barcode data from the books arranged in a vertical manner and compares the decoded barcode data with the search input. If the robot reaches the book which is to be found out, then the robot gives location of the book to the librarian or the person visiting the library, in which the robot is used for searching purpose. In case of any hindrance faced by the robot when it does the searching process, the robot halts and sends an alarm. Misplaced books can be rearranged using the pre-programmed data in the robot which helps to maintain the books in an order. This helps and simplifies the job of arranging the books and also reduces the manual routine work done by the library staff.","PeriodicalId":201931,"journal":{"name":"INTERACT-2010","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123307377","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}
