In this paper, the authors examine different types of behavioral patterns that can exist for a mobile robot when one is limited to constructing such behavior from computational devices which contain no internal state. They construct a set of primitive reflexive behaviors, each of which causes the robot to exhibit a specific behavioral pattern in response to external and/or internal stimuli. Each primitive behavior models a simple form of reflex behavior. In addition, they discuss how each primitive reflexive behavior results in motion of the robot, illustrate different types of primitive reflexive behaviors, and provide graphic representations of the resulting behavioral patterns.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":409624,"journal":{"name":"EEE International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems, Towards a New Frontier of Applications","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134372702","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 paper presents a generalized performance statistic which is a summation of the expected quality losses of all responses. Since the units and orders of these responses may be quite different and not reasonable for process design, a normalization procedure called the performance characteristic transformation method (PCTM) is proposed to overcome these difficulties. In addition, a corresponded generalized signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio may be constructed based on the above concepts and would consider the importance of each response simultaneously. Therefore, the optimal multi-response process can be obtained by the traditional Taguchi procedure with respect to the new proposed S/N ratio. An experiment of the plasma-etching process is conducted to verify the performance of the new multiresponse process optimization technique.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":409624,"journal":{"name":"EEE International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems, Towards a New Frontier of Applications","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129351087","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 supervision loop is designed to overcome some of the problems that remain unsolved, such as time-varying plants, high nonlinear plants or fine tuning of the linguistic terms given by the expert in a fuzzy controller. The supervision concept is based on the continuous adjustment of the mathematical functions used for the definition of the linguistic terms which describe the actions of the rules. The amount of adjustment is the result of a weighted combination of the results using two features observed in the control system output-the rise time and the overshoot.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":409624,"journal":{"name":"EEE International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems, Towards a New Frontier of Applications","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129700048","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 second development described concerns dextrous hand controllers which can be used to control the motion of a telerobotic manipulator end effector as it moves in space and contacts surfaces and workpieces. Several input devices have been investigated for characteristics such as user-friendliness, compactness and cost effectiveness. Servo control of bilateral systems has been examined to optimize end point bilateral control.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":409624,"journal":{"name":"EEE International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems, Towards a New Frontier of Applications","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121238704","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 quadruped walking machine requires both uneven terrain walking and high-speed flat surface walking capability. The static walking method was used for uneven terrain walking and the dynamic walking method for flat plane walking. In the dynamic walking case, the relative speed between the foot and the ground causes loss of body balance. A foot trajectory is designed based on two points, the kinematics of foot motion and the relationship between joint motion and joint driving torque. The paper also discusses a method for reducing impact force upon initial contact with a floor by a periodic foot trajectory based on the wave motion of a cam. In this method, vertical and horizontal motion of a foot trajectory were independently generated using cyclodic motion. This trajectory was designated the composite cycloid foot trajectory.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":409624,"journal":{"name":"EEE International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems, Towards a New Frontier of Applications","volume":"35 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113973452","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}
