Activation of main muscles responsible for 1 DOF of elbow joint is recorded. The goal was to create a mapping between muscles' Surface Electromyogram (sEMG) data and kinematics of the joints. The proposed strategy includes two main phases. In the first phase, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) was utilized to classify several classes in user's arm motions. Due to fast training, simple implementation and robustness against long term effect of non-stationary characteristics of sEMG signals, LDA is a common classifier in myoelectric signal classification researches. In the second phase, two Time Delayed Artificial Neural Networks (TDANN) were trained to estimate proportional and continuous angle and velocity related to joint motion classes. Furthermore, two additional methods were used to enhance the prediction results accuracy. First, noise reduction of sEMG signals plays a key role in accurate joint kinematics prediction. Therefore, a new noise reduction approach is investigated based on classification results. Second, final predicted angles were achieved by data fusion of angles and angle difference rates, estimated by TDANN. Results show that, LDA classifies the motion classes with 95% accuracy and final estimated angular positions are significantly close to actual values. Therefore, proposed method is able to create a mapping between muscles' sEMG data and joint kinematics with acceptable error. Practical results confirm the performance of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":416467,"journal":{"name":"2016 Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (IRANOPEN)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126921032","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}

HEvo-Bexpa is an evolutionary biclustering algorithm which can find biclusters including shift, scale and shift-scale patterns using Transposed Virtual Error (VET). VET is equal to zero for biclusters which containing positive correlated rows but it is not responsible for both positive and negative correlated rows at the same time. In this study, VET is extended to Squared Transposed Virtual Error (SVET).

Since localization is a key issue for soccer playing robots, some probabilistic approaches have been developed over last years to address it. Methods based on Monte Carlo Localization (MCL) show good ability in dealing with kidnap problem, however, most of them are unstable with limited number of samples. On the other hand, Kalman filter extensions are among the best light weight estimators for position tracking. Their drawback is that they are unimodal and can't be used for global and kidnaped problems. Combining the advantages of these two approaches can lead to a valuable method. In this paper we propose a new hybrid localization method that utilizes the MCL and UKF to reach a stable, multimodal, and low weight localization method. The advantages of our method are evaluated in several experiments.","PeriodicalId":416467,"journal":{"name":"2016 Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (IRANOPEN)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121146558","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 main contribution of this paper is to present tow simple methods with acceptable navigation performance. Based on the simulation results, it is proofed that, the presented methods are able to navigate the robot on desired paths even in hard situations like measurement delay and external disturbance. Also, advantages of each method is presented based on comparison of simulation results. Another contribution of this work is using dynamic model of the robot instead of kinematic model which is usually is used in path following articles. To reach this goal, at the first step, a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) controller is designed as low level controller, then path following navigator is mounted on high level controller.

Steerable or flexible bevel-tip needles have an asymmetric tip that causes the needle to bend, and needles can reach the target by deflection over insertion. Getting feedback from imaging devices can improve the objectives. In 2D motion planning it is so important to keep and stabilize the needle in a desired plan. Since the tissue type changes during insertion that causes uncertainty parameter so it is a big problem to keep the needle in the desired plan. In this paper we propose a robust controller with the H-infinity output feedback approach to overcome the uncertainty and disturbances. This controller is applied to a linearized model of steerable needles. Simulation results are presented to show the feasibility of the scheme.","PeriodicalId":416467,"journal":{"name":"2016 Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (IRANOPEN)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126124520","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}

Also, it employs line Hough transform to modify the changing of image rotation and it defines robots location coordinates relative to the origin using particle swarm optimization algorithm. In this paper, an efficient objective function is presented to use in PSO algorithm. The most important feature of this method is use of IPM transform for deletion of perspective effects.
