The Coarse Binary Cube (CBC) method was proposed to achieve fast and accurate scene registration by maximizing the number of coincident cubes between a pair of scans. The aim of this paper is speeding up CBC with a fast spatial subsampling strategy for raw point clouds that employs the same type of efficient data structures as CBC. Experimental results have been obtained with the Velodyne HDL-32E sensor mounted on the Quadriga mobile robot on irregular terrain. The influence of the subsampling rate has been analyzed. Preliminary results show a relevant gain in computation time without losing matching accuracy.","PeriodicalId":237327,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2013 - 39th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127355918","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 recent years, there have been calls for measures to be introduced to protect vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists. In this study, a method to detect and track pedestrians using an in-vehicle camera is presented to perform braking controls, warn the driver, and develop improved safety systems for pedestrians. We improved the technology of detecting pedestrians using highly accurate images obtained with a monocular camera. We were able to predict pedestrian activity by monitoring the images, and developed an algorithm with which to recognize pedestrians and their movements more accurately. The effectiveness of the algorithm was tested using images taken on real roads. For the feature descriptor, we used an extended co-occurrence histogram of oriented gradients (ECoHOG) that accumulated the integration of gradient intensities. In the tracking step, we applied an effective motion model using optical flow and the proposed feature descriptor ECoHOG in a tracking-by-detection framework. These techniques were verified using images captured on the real road.","PeriodicalId":237327,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2013 - 39th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128213662","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}

Recently, haptic information is attracting attention from many areas as the tertiary media following the audio and visual information. However, due to the characters of the bidirectionality and self-reference, treatment is difficult as compared to the other sensory information. Unified representation method still not been established. Therefore, this paper focuses on the vibration components of friction force in rubbing motion against environmental surface in particular. The friction force in rubbing motion is measured for broadband by using the 2-DOF system constructed by two linear motors. For the quantitative evaluation of the frequency domain, cepstral analysis which is the method for voice-print analysis is applied. The effectiveness of the proposed model is shown by performing experiments and analysis with three different environmental surfaces. Moreover, this paper presents the identification for each parameters of the model from the acquired data, and construct a accurate model of the friction force for each environment.","PeriodicalId":237327,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2013 - 39th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129219588","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}

Recently, human-assist systems acting directly on humans have been developed and opportunities for humans to touch robots are increasing. However, active actuators are often used to generate force in order to perform any tasks and they constitute a possible danger to humans when they are loss of control. Then, stable passive systems would be substituted for active ones. Passive systems will not generate force by themselves. Only when external force acts on them, they generate reaction force. Considering these properties, passive systems are stable and appropriate for the human society because they would be little risks for humans when they are loss of control. In this paper, the passive actuator and the active actuator are combined together in order to generate the torque. The passive system is used like a clutch. By control of the current of passive system, the output torque from MR-fluid actuator is also controlled. The maximum output of MR-fluid actuator is limited by shear stress of MR fluids. By these properties, MR-fluid actuator has high safety for humans. In this paper, the velocity control of MR-fluid actuator is proposed.","PeriodicalId":237327,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2013 - 39th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128782094","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}

Bilateral control gives a sense of existing without movement of body, and realizes pseudo-teleportation to everywhere. Bilateral control technology produces a sense of expansion of a body, so this technology is needed to apply to multi-DOF or non-mechanical systems. To expand the range of application, the scheme of bilateral control needs to be more general. The basic law of energy bilateral control is energy conservation law, which is the first principle for all physical systems. This paper proposes energy bilateral control as a generalized bilateral control. Energy bilateral control is an explicit energy control, which enables different structural systems to be implented bilateral control. Energy bilateral control also show a new interpretation about bilateral control: hybrid of internal energy and power flow control. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is verified by experimental results.","PeriodicalId":237327,"journal":{"name":"IECON 2013 - 39th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116259291","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}
