In general, the sensor is required not to accommodate much space in order to save the room of measuring device. In this paper, a mechanical micro displacement sensor with smaller volume has been proposed. This paper focus on the whole process of this novel sensor from the working principle, parameter determine to the FEM simulation as well as the characteristic experiment and so on. This sensor can enlarge the displacement of the PZT by utilizing the lever principle and from strain gauges can perceive the variation without amplifying the noise. In this sensor, we use the flexure hinges as the rotation joints to obtain the amplification. Whatever the simulation results in FEM or the experiment data, both of which show that the sensor can perceive the displacement of the PZT actuator in micro/nano scale. Also, the characteristic experiment shows that the proposed sensor has a higher level linearity and lower error.","PeriodicalId":321332,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129118482","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 present a novel electrical muscle simulator for the urinary incontinence, which adopted the wireless communication technique. The equipment is composed of a controller and an electrode pole. The electrode is inserted in female vagina or anus, and is controlled by the controller to generate some types of electrical pulses to produce appropriate stimulation. The application of wireless control on the stimulator makes it possible for the patient to do the exercise and therapy by themselves and their activity not to be restricted. Moreover, it avoids the mental obstacles ashamed for therapy in the hospital. We made the stimulator and the results showed that the equipment can work effectively that the stimulation can have the muscle be treated in desirable mode with good accuracy.","PeriodicalId":321332,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126235337","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 soccer team should play in an organized manner in order to score more goals than the opponent, which requires well-developed individual and collaborative skills, such as dribbling the ball, positioning, and passing. However, none of these skills needs to be perfect and they do not require highly complicated models to give satisfactory results. This paper proposes an approach inspired from ants, which are modeled as Braitenberg vehicles for implementing those skills as combinations of very primitive behaviors without using explicit communication and role assignment mechanisms, and applying reinforcement learning to construct the optimal state-action mapping. Experiments demonstrate that a team of robots can indeed learn to play soccer reasonably well without using complex environment models and state representations. After very short training sessions, the team started scoring more than its opponents that use complex behavior codes, and as a result of having very simple state representation, the team could adapt to the strategies of the opponent teams during the games.","PeriodicalId":321332,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126432897","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}

Past approaches have detected the gestures for isolated persons or seated persons. Our method can deal with moving persons in crowd. First, background subtraction based on integration of intensity histograms with codebook of color feature is employed to segment human bodies. And then, to deal with movements, nonrigidity and partially occlusions of human bodies, the silhouette analysis, including candidate regions (CR) search, shape feature extraction and classification, is applied to search for raised hands. Shape features in each CR instead of the entire silhouette are extracted through R-transform. At last, a hierarchical hand-raising gestures detector, consisting of two classifiers which are learnt using SVM, is used to determine whether each CR contains raised hands. Experiments show that this method can detect hand-raising gestures well, even in crowded scenes.","PeriodicalId":321332,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126518875","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}

Two different spring constants of soft nanoneedles which can buckle from certain applied compression force were used to measure a general local stiffness, i.e. stiffness property of the whole cell from a single indentation point, and a finer local stiffness, i.e. stiffness property of a cell surface from a single indentation point. The finer local stiffness property of the single cells was also being compared at different pressure and different temperature ranges. The advantages of using a soft nanoneedle for single cells stiffness characterizations are severe cell damage from an excessive indentation force could be prevented and big variations in single cell stiffness property could be easily detected by examining either from the dented mark area of the local indentation point or by comparing the buckling length of the nanoneedle. The soft nanoneedle which currently used for measuring single cells stiffness variations could be applied in the future fast disease diagnosis based on single cell stiffness analysis.","PeriodicalId":321332,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132081662","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}
