The locomotion is called passive dynamic walking. Its dynamics at foot strike are governed by impact forces. The impulsive dynamics have been modelled in several approaches, where all the approaches assume that the stance leg instantaneously loses contact with the ground at foot strike. The loss-of-contact assumption has been introduced so as to guarantee conservation of angular momentum at foot strike; however, it is shown in this paper that the loss-of-contact assumption is neither necessary nor sufficient for that purpose. This paper provides a necessary and sufficient condition for conservation of angular momentum at foot strike in a modelling framework for multibody dynamics with impact. A compass-like biped robot is considered in this paper. Its impulsive dynamics are modelled by the relationship between impact forces and change of momentum with constraints. A necessary and sufficient condition for conservation of angular momentum is derived by examining the validity of foot velocities and impact forces in the impulsive model.","PeriodicalId":413922,"journal":{"name":"SICE journal of control, measurement, and system integration","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124730349","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}

During the latent period, structural and functional alterations gradually mediate epileptogenesis. Kainate (KA) induces epilepsy in rats in a manner similar to that induced by human epilepsy. During the model's latent period, rats administered KA-exhibited innate behaviour such as self-grooming. We previously reported that self-grooming bouts are facilitated during the latent period in this model. Here, we investigated self-grooming changes during the latent period of the KA rat model. We analysed various parameters of self-grooming – including duration, number, and percentage of correct transitions (CT%). Self-grooming bouts included a syntactic chain consisting of CT. CT% was defined as the ratio of the number of CT scans to the total number of transitions. The results showed that CT%, number, and duration were significantly increased during the latent period in KA rats. We attempted to mine the features that detect the latent period using a neural network. Our results suggest that the CT% of self-grooming will detect changes in the latent period in the KA rat epilepsy model.","PeriodicalId":413922,"journal":{"name":"SICE journal of control, measurement, and system integration","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121204357","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}

Multirotor UAVs suffer from modelling errors due to their structure complexity and aerodynamical disturbances whose perfect mathematical formulation is intractable. To handle this issue, this paper incorporates a data-based learning technique with model-based control. The hexarotor UAV dynamical model, considering modelling errors and aerodynamic disturbances as unknown dynamics, is first derived. Gaussian process regression is next introduced as a learning method for the unknown dynamics, which provides probabilistic distributions of the predicted values. The predicted means are regarded as deterministic information and cancelled out by feedforward control inputs. The predicted variances are considered as the bounds of the model uncertainties with high probability, and a robust control method to ensure ultimate boundedness of the tracking control error is proposed for the uncertain system. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated via experiments with a self-developed hexarotor UAV testbed.","PeriodicalId":413922,"journal":{"name":"SICE journal of control, measurement, and system integration","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129030567","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 one of the sustainable energy resources, ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is important for the development of a next-generation energy source. This paper proposes a method to construct a state-space model for an OTEC plant using the Rankine cycle. The state-space model is constructed based on a linear approximation of a simple dynamic model. The flow rates of warm seawater, cold seawater, and working fluid are considered as inputs to the model, and the power output is selected as the output of the model. The state-space model, described as a time-invariant system, is derived numerically. The constructed model is evaluated through numerical simulations of the step response; the power generation control is verified using proportional integral controllers, and the advantage as a state-space model is verified using a linear quadratic regulator. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and limitation of the proposed model. Because the simple dynamic model to be approximated is constructed based on the physical laws, various kinds of state-space models corresponding to the physical parameters can be obtained easily.","PeriodicalId":413922,"journal":{"name":"SICE journal of control, measurement, and system integration","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131437672","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 Hankel norms are defined as the induced norms from vector-valued past inputs to vector-valued future outputs across a system switching and a state transition at the time instant zero. A closed-form characterization of the Hankel norm in this switching setting for general LTI systems can readily be derived as the natural extension of the standard Hankel norm. Thanks to the strong positivity property, we show that we can successfully characterize the Hankel norms for the positive system switching case even in some combinations of p, q being . In particular, some of them are given in the form of linear programming (LP) and semidefinite programming (SDP). These LP- and SDP-based characterizations are particularly useful for the analysis of the Hankel norms where the systems of interest are affected by parametric uncertainties.","PeriodicalId":413922,"journal":{"name":"SICE journal of control, measurement, and system integration","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133327595","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}

And, we propose two methods, one is a feature-based (FB) method to detect the position of the right hand in an image and identify the gesture form features estimated by FFT, and the other is a machine learning (ML) method to detect the position of the right hand in an image and identify the gesture by the framework of the ML. In experiments, we compare the results of gesture recognition by each method. As a result, the recognition rate of the FB method is higher than that of the ML method under the conditions assumed in the FB method. But, in other cases, the ML method is higher than that of the FB method. The ML method is also effective in terms of extensibility, such as adding more types of gestures.","PeriodicalId":413922,"journal":{"name":"SICE journal of control, measurement, and system integration","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129662809","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}
