In manual gait rehabilitation training, physical theraphists have patients practice and memorize normal gait patterns by applying assistive torque to the patient's joint once the patient's gait deviates from the normal gait. Thus, one of the most important factors in robotic gait rehabilitation devices is to determine the assistive torque to the patient's joint during rehabilitation training. In order to calculate the assistive torque, the desired gait trajectory for affected leg should be determined. This reference trajectory is obtained from his healthy leg. The obtained signal has many noisy factors. Therefore, after conditioning the signal, the suitable pattern is applied to the developed system. This procedure is called “gait pattern generation” in this paper. It is described and discussed in detail.","PeriodicalId":431699,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115838322","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 redundant or wrong features are extracted if part of the object is occluded. The comers are chosen by intersecting two adjacent line segments and selecting the end-points of some special line segment. When two segments are far enough, the nearest two end-points of these two lines are considered as candidate comers. Then one of two candidates is stored as final comer with shorter distance of laser beam. However, if the line segment with this corner is very short, this comer is ignored because it may be just part of the object with complex surface, such as column. After extracting theses comers, they have been used in estimating the state of mobile robot and previous landmarks. To have a better matching result, two data association algorithms are applied in constructing the correspondence between new features and stored map features. The experiment result in indoor environment shows the validity of proposed method.","PeriodicalId":431699,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115089955","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 impedance intended by an operator should be measured because the impedance of a slave robot should reflect the intention of the operator. Besides, the measured impedance should be obliged to include the information of its value and direction. In this paper, the method of using a single-axis force sensor as well as the posture of an operator is proposed so as to measure the value and direction of the impedance intended by the operator. Also, the proposed method is applied to Phantom that is widely used in tele-operation systems to validate its usefulness.","PeriodicalId":431699,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128588832","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, we propose a novel method that estimates the inlier threshold adaptively from the observations, giving a threshold-free RANSAC. A minimum assumption of our method is that the lower bound of inlier ratio is known in advance and the variance of inliers follows Gaussian. We also describe a simple motion flow tracker as an application of the proposed method. In the experiment we show the effectiveness of the proposed method by comparing tracking performance with and without adaptive estimation of inlier threshold.","PeriodicalId":431699,"journal":{"name":"2013 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI)","volume":"169 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127503555","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}
