The flexible gripper developed in this project showed improvements in the efficiency of the device by reducing the airflow and supply pressure in order to reduce the operating costs. This technique has a major advantage because it is capable of handling not only flat-shaped food products, but also able to lift and hold round, irregular shaped products.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131641173","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 optimization technique is utilized to obtain a dynamic model of a flexible plate structure based on auto-regressive with exogenous (ARX) input structure. The structure is subjected to two different disturbance signal types, namely random, and finite duration step. The fitness function for the PSO is the mean-squared error (MSE) between the measured and estimated outputs of the plate. The validation of the algorithm is presented in both time and frequency domains. The developed PSO modeling approach is used for AVC system design to suppress the vibration of the flexible plate. The performance of the controller is assessed in terms of level of attenuation achieved in the power spectral density (PSD) of the observed signal.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132302669","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 vehicle design offers an additional feature to the conventional inverted pendulum on two wheels. The intermediate body (IB) of the vehicle is composed of two co-axial parts connected by a linear actuator and with a payload attached to the end of the upper part. The linear actuator allows the payload to move up and down along the IB of the vehicle. Considering the various positions, speeds and different sizes of a payload, carried by the vehicle, while maintaining the entire vehicle balanced is the main challenge of the current study. Dynamic modeling of the system is based on utilizing Lagrangian formulation to drive the system equations of motion.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134506234","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 research presented herein was based on several methods of classification and metaclassification. Due to increasing significance of Open Source, we have selected projects being hosted on the leading platform for Open Source projects — Sourceforge.net. In the first part of article, we describe steps of data extraction which was a large scale task because the datasource contained tens of tables and hundreds of fields, that were originally gathered to be used by project management web-based system. Therefore extraction of meaningful data required analysis of databases structure and transformation of sets of records into a four datasets. These datasets were used to predict four factors important to project management i.e skills, time, costs an effectiveness. Later, we present the results of experiments, that were performed using C4.5, RandomTree and CART algorithms. In the final part of this article, we describe how boosting and bagging metaclassifiers were applied to improve the results and we also analyse influence of their parameters on generalization abilities an prediction accuracy.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122068359","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}

To extract the lip contour, proper segmentation is needed. There are many approaches for image segmentation such as colour segmentation (histogram-based and clustering-based) that have been widely used in different areas. In this paper we use RGB colour space and fuzzy C-means clustering for lip segmentation. Compared to previous methods, we obtain a simple feature for lip region extraction using RGB components which can be used as input to C-means clustering algorithm for lip region extraction. Then the outputs of the C-means clustering algorithm are fed into active contour model to obtain final lip region. We tested the proposed algorithm with different images and results showed good segmentation for different speakers with different illumination.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127362880","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}

There are two issues concerned in the design of the planner: (i) low working time or energy consumption, and (ii) human safety. The optimal mowing path for time or energy consumption with safety concern is achieved via combining these factors in the mowing path planning.

An industrial case study involving a large network of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) has been carried out to investigate the processes underpinning the network formation and job allocation activities. An algorithm using agent-based (Contract Net Protocol) features has been developed to validate the holonic model with real-life industrial data. The simulation software was calibrated so that the model responds with a lead time value close to that obtained in the real life network by altering the network capacity. The results proved that the software and the model possess a good potential, as a benchmark, for the comparison of optimised and new experimental models of a manufacturing network based on holonic system.","PeriodicalId":359942,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 9th International Conference on Cyberntic Intelligent Systems","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126256396","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}

Each processor is an independent agent defined by a neural network trained for a defined task. Through simulated evolution fully trained agents are encouraged to socialize by opening low bandwidth, asynchronous channels between them. Under evolutive pressure agents spontaneously develop communication skills (protolan-guage) that take advantages of interchanged information, even under noisy conditions. The emerged cooperative behavior raises the level of competence of vision guided mobile robots and allows a convenient autonomous exploration of the environment.
