However, the model is large, which is expressed in the calculation of model parameters. As a result, the implementation platforms of visual tracking algorithm are usually limited by computing power, power consumption, portability, etc. In this paper, we propose a Siamese network tracking scheme based on PYNQ framework, which is deployed on ZYNQ platform. By optimizing the calculation process, Siamese Network accelerated IP core and Region Proposal Network accelerated IP core are designed. The double buffer structure is adopted to effectively call different feature map calculations and reduce off-chip memory access. Python is used to call the accelerated IP core at the top level as the hardware coprocessor to realize the data interaction from the bottom level to the top level and update the system running results asynchronously in Jupyter notebook. We achieve an average 36.7FPS on Xilinx ZCU104 platform, which illustrates that our method has the important practical benefit of allowing lightweight architectures to achieve good performance at high framerates.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133607522","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 order to study the characteristics of plantar stress and its effect on the change of velocity during flat walking, this paper collected data of plantar pressure of 20 healthy young men during flat walking and extracted characteristic values for analysis. The results showed that the stress of human body during walking on the ground was concentrated on the front foot and the back foot, and the stress of the front foot increased significantly with the increase of walking speed. Because of the arch of the foot, the change of the arch area and the bone area of the foot resulting from the changing walking speed is not obvious. And thus the plantar is well protected. During the single support phase, the support leg adjusts to maintain the balance of the body so that the friction force is less affected by the speed. Combined with the analysis, this paper provides a simple rehabilitation training strategy to prevent secondary injury to the injured part of the foot in the process of rehabilitation. The above conclusions have certain scientific significance in the fields of rehabilitation medicine and sports science.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127118404","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}

These systems are usually designed with massive communication among the agents to minimize the error in pursuit of the general goal of the entire system. The problem is often formulated as finding the best routing configuration to capture $N_{A}$ goals by $N_{A}$ agents in an $Ntimes N$ 2-Dim grid with no collision. In this work, we propose an approach for Decentralized Cooperative Communication-less Multi-Agent Task Assignment employing Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS). We design a Multi-Agent MCTS with a high success rate where each agent is moving toward the collective goal effectively by knowing the current location of other agents, with no additional communication overhead. We show that by employing separated MCTS on each agent armed with a collective reward value, the total accuracy could be maximized compared to the solutions where a single MCTS executed for all the agents. As an evaluation and comparison, in the proposed MA-MCTS, agents accomplish a high success-rate by capturing all 20 random positioned goals, in a 20 by 20 2-D grid in 9.9s process-time.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126355644","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}

Task-oriented, repetitive and intensive physiotherapy can enhance upper limb rehabilitation for stroke patients. Rehabilitation robots, with the advantages of delivering high-dosage and high-intensity training over long time, have gained high popularity in physiotherapy. In this work, the Dual-Arm Rehabilitation Robot (DARR), an end-effector system with collaborative manipulators assisting the upper and lower arms of a stroke patient respectively, was proposed. Each manipulator of the DARR, with three active degrees of freedom (DOF) for positioning and three passive DOF for orientation, can provide rehabilitation training to the affected arm in a three-dimensional workspace and permit stroke patients to freely orient his/her hand as needed to grasp an object. The DARR prototype was built and conducted experiments to validate its feasibility and effectiveness, including mechanical structure and control system. Both simulation and experimental results showed that the DARR could satisfy the demands of upper limb rehabilitation for stroke patients.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126393611","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}
