This system was premised on working within a fixed working time. Also, the physical and mental burden caused by braking faster than the operator's intention was a problem. In this research, in order to solve these problems, we devised a new operation interface which measures human motion by using a 3D sensor (“Kinect” manufactured by Microsoft) to power-assist. Effectiveness was verified by subject experiment using the system implementing this method.","PeriodicalId":339025,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129978823","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 combined indoor self-positioning method in this paper is introduced to solve the problem. For the short-distance range, coordinates are calculated by fusing the measured distances and angles. For the medium-distance range, a clustering-grid supervision (CGS) algorithm is proposed and adopted to correct the coordinates obtained by the four-point positioning method. An ostracion-like robotic fish is used as the experimental object to achieve centimeter-level positioning with an average positioning error of 4.492 cm in a short-distance range and decimeter-level positioning with an error of 2.049 dm in a medium-distance range. Compared with traditional methods, this comprehensive method has the advantages of low cost and high accuracy.","PeriodicalId":339025,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128285256","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}

Next, the KCF algorithm is improved by using confidence judgment mechanism to avoid big tracking error for blocked target. Finally, combined with the data association algorithm, improved KCF can complete multi-target tracking.

The system, through its ergonomic design, allows the surgeon to bring the experience to robot-assisted VIS. For this reason, a master haptic module based on magnetorheological (MR) fluid technology was designed to provide fast and accurate haptic feedback while capturing the surgeon's hand movements (radial and axial direction) in operating the catheter. In the slave side, the catheter manipulator is designed to mimic the surgeon's action at the main end, with a novel grasper designed to provide sufficient clamping force while protecting the catheter surface from damage. At the same time, the contact force between the catheter and the patient's vessels can be measured by the motor current loss-speed-resistance model, which has less impact on surgery and a more accurate way to measure force. Compared with traditional VIS, the IRTS not only achieves the same results, but also reduces the cognitive workload of the operation and further improves the transparency and safety of the VIS.","PeriodicalId":339025,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116817221","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}

As a countermeasure to this problem, a method for controlling sway and rotation with a suspending machine has been studied. However, such a method can only control swaying and not rotation, and are not applicable to all transport machines or aircrafts. Therefore, in this research, it is aimed at controlling the tip of the wire directly by using a horizontally movable multi-rotor, which is applicable to all types of suspending machines or aircrafts and can control the rotation as well as the swing. Then, a rotational control experiment and a sway control experiment are conducted using the developed horizontally movable multi-rotor to verify its usefulness for the sway and rotational motions.","PeriodicalId":339025,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122134101","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}
