Both arms are cooperatively used to achieve a pick-and-place task by solving the inverse kinematics of both arms and performing on-line motion planning in real time. To maintain the SSWMR in a stable state to carry out the desired task, the robot is equipped with a lifting platform using four legs to support static stability. Image processing and pattern recognition methods are used to develop application programs based on the OpenCV and OpenNI library to recognize and locate desired objects to be grasped. Simulation and experimental results are used for successful illustration of the proposed techniques.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":"8 1","pages":"19-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71162901","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}

Such an environment is highly possible to induce erroneous mapping results, such as alias problems. This paper presents a scan matching algorithm with odometer prediction using Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and an optimal path planning based on regression subgoals. The scan matching process can relax the problems of local minima by means of an effective correction in the odometrical information. By iterating odometrical corrections in each step of running motion model, the matching result can be better than one only believes in individual information from scanning or odometry. Meanwhile, an optimal path planning utilizing an A * algorithm with a regression method is introduced to ensure a mobile robot be able to move elaborately around the corner and speed up along a straight line. Experiments in an indoor environment have been conducted to verify the effectiveness and validation of the proposed techniques.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":"8 1","pages":"9-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46902498","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, a four degrees of freedom (DOF) lower body exoskeleton with a model-based compensation control framework is proposed to support hip-knee rehabilitation. The exoskeleton control movement is realized by designing a trajectory for each leg movement. A function approximation technique (FAT) based adaptive control is applied to each two DOF legs during a rehabilitation task. Using the FAT based adaptive control, the natural system dynamic is adaptively compensated for without knowing the acceleration feedback and system dynamics. Simulation results show the disturbance observer successfully estimated the user’s applied leg force. The leg force is given as the input to compliance control applied in 2 DOF motors when performing a walking sequence on a treadmill. Moreover, the FAT-based adaptive control outperformed the standard proportional-differential (PD) control and could accommodate different subjects without any changes to control parameters.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":"8 1","pages":"51-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48753363","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}

All innovative methods are designed so as to improve the properties of the objects shaped with RPS. Moreover, newly designed techniques produce the results of higher quality and are faster than previously used techniques. Method 1, the new ribbon perforation algorithm provides more space for the powder in the support stripe and lower laser beam frequency modulation.  It not only reduces the amount of the support stripe used in a component roll, but also reduces its compression rate by about 2 times. The method 2 proposed technique improves the quality and increases the velocity of filling a support ribbon with powder by 1.6 times. The method 3 helps to increase the amount of powder in a component roll by increasing the consolidation and the fluidity of powder. The results indicate that the new methods can be integrated in a perforation and powder filling systems for enhanced RPS machines.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":"8 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45656052","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}

We begin our review by proposing the considered switched systems are operated during a finite time interval repetitively, and then the iterative learning control (ILC) scheme can be introduced between subsystems. Namely, the tracking error converges with non-zero constant initial error. After the switched system is transformed into a 2D switched system, sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are derived by using the -norm. It is shown that the tracking error converges monotonically to zero in the sense of -norm.

This study focuses on this important environmental and economic issue and proposes a sustainable performance model to investigate the performance behavior of Taiwanese manufacturing industries after the Kyoto protocol went into effect in 2005. We observe that sustainable performance during the past decade has risen slightly due to the effectiveness of energy-saving technologies and low-carbon energy structures. These two are effective strategies for guiding manufacturing industries with large quantity of CO2 emissions to improve their production activities, especially in the reduction of fossil fuel usage. Keep in mind that currently electricity portfolio in Taiwan is still dependent on coal combustion, though renewable energy is gaining its momentum starting this decade, and is integral to the future of the energy supply planning to pursue sustainable environment proposed by Taiwan government.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":"7 1","pages":"141-146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43970642","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}

However, the elderly may have problems using smartphones because most of them normally have visual impairment which result in unclear perception of the screen. The test on how user interface (UI) design of the LINE application affects the elderly when using smartphones shows that the elderly spend more time and make more mistakes than the young adults. The analysis was conducted to find the major factors associated with such problems, and the results show that three components of UI; i.e., font, color, and level of brightness are the major factors that affect how the elderly use their smartphones. In order to confirm the test results, several combinations of font, color, and level of brightness were used to create UI of the simulated LINE application and each UI was used to test with a group of 38 elderly (the age of 60-69) who were told to perform eight different actions on the phone. After further research on UI, it is found that the most appropriate font for Thai elderly is Arial Unicode MS with the size of 16 pt., and the green tone of screen with 75% of brightness level is found to be the most appropriate for the elderly. The test results reveal that the elderly could perform seven actions faster and they made fewer mistakes in six actions. All in all, the test results indicate that the integration of the most appropriate three components can increase the effectiveness of smartphone usage among Thai elderly.","PeriodicalId":38109,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Automation and Smart Technology","volume":"7 1","pages":"147-155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42843201","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}

It aims to make use of simple automation design and set-up to significantly reduce the energy consumption while keeping optimum occupants’ comfort. A prototype architectural design of the building aimed at maximizing the passive cooling potential is presented in this paper. The automation system follows a simple control outline where input parameters are fed into a programming control and the system yields the necessary output condition. The system runs in two control operations—schedule-based and event-based—with independent input parameters and with output conditions identified as natural ventilation, full mechanical ventilation, and partial mechanical ventilation. The specific controller, sensors, and actuators for implementing the building automation system were identified. The whole automation concept and design was programmed in an automation software and was simulated to look at the possible system scenarios and results.
