We modeled this as an optimization problem to minimize the number of uncompleted tasks while also minimizing total airtime and total distance traveled by all the UAVs. By taking into account the UAV flight capacities. For the solution of the problem, we adopted a multi-Traveling Salesman Problem (mTSP) method [1] and designed a new genetic structure for it so that it can be applied to cooperative multi-task assignment problems. Furthermore, we developed two domain specific mutation operators to improve the quality of the solutions in terms of number of uncompleted tasks, total airtime and total distance traveled by all the UAVs. The simulation experiments showed that these operators significantly improve the solution quality. Our main contributions are the application of the Multi Structure Genetic Algorithm (MSGA) to cooperative multi-task assignment problem and the development of two novel mutation operators to improve the solution of MSGA.","PeriodicalId":432004,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115976118","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 simplest model of this behavior is the well known passive compass gait (PCG) model, which consists of a point mass at the hip and two stick legs. Due to their passive nature, these systems rely on a sloped ground to recover energy lost to ground collisions. A variety of methods have been proposed to eliminate this requirement by using different actuation methods. In this study, we propose a simple model to investigate how series elastic actuation at the ankle can be used to achieve stable walking on level ground. The structure we propose is designed to behave in a similar fashion to how humans utilize toe push-off prior to leg liftoff, and is intended to be used for controlling the ankle joint in a lower-body robotic orthosis. We present the derivation of the hybrid equations of motion for this model, resulting in a numerically computed return map for a single stride. We then numerically identify fixed points of this system and investigate their stability. We show that asymptotically stable walking on flat ground is possible with this model and identify the dependence of limit cycles and their stability on system parameters.","PeriodicalId":432004,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116026436","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}

Neural data were recorded by a 100-microelectrode array implanted in the motor cortex of one monkey performing instructed reach-grasp-and-pull movements. Decoding of neural data was performed by two different algorithms: i) through Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) consisting of a multi layer perceptron (MLP), and ii) by a Support Vector Machine (SVM) with linear kernel function. Decoding aimed at classifying the upcoming grip type (precision grip vs. side grip) as well as the required grip force (low vs. high). We then used the decoded information to reproduce the monkey's movement on a robotic platform consisting of a two-finger, eleven degrees of freedom (DoF) robotic hand carried by a six DoF robotic arm. The results show that 1) in terms of performance there was no significant difference between ANN and SVM prediction. Both algorithms can be used for frequency decoding of multiple motor cortex spike trains: good performance was found for grip type prediction, less so for grip force. 2) For both algorithms the prediction error was significantly dependent on the position of the input time window associated to different stages of the instructed grasp movement. 3) The lower performance of grasp force prediction was improved by optimizing the neuronal population size presented to the ANN input layer on the basis of information redundancy.","PeriodicalId":432004,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126075968","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}

Freehand ultrasound probe is faster and flexible with 6 degrees of freedom. Thats why the imaging system must be calibrated in 3D space before integrating it with Robotics Biopsy System. In this paper we present a 3D space calibration method using a multipoint cross-wire phantom. The Ultrasound probe is attached to a robotic manipulator arm which moves it over the phantom in precise steps of distances and angles. The position and orientation of the probe is tracked by an optical tracking system. Optical markers are placed on the probe, phantom tank and the validation needle. The optical tracking system returns the position and orientation of the reference frames attached to these optical markers. The location of threads with reference to the frame of Ultrasound probe is found using this information. These values and the values returned by a mathematical model of the calibration box are used to construct the calibration matrix. The whole system is automated so it can process high number of frames which makes it rapid and more accurate. This process is used to calibrate the space for an automated needle insertion biopsy robot. The accuracy of the system was checked by a validation needle in 3D space. RMS error of the experiment groups on average was 1.67mm.","PeriodicalId":432004,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127662856","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}

Experiments with healthy subjects show that WAMC can provide upright stance position and assisted forward gait to the user. However, the simplistic kinetostatic model used in gait analysis does not permit to obtain forces and torques acting on the system (user and WAMC) in detail. In this paper, an anthropometric 2D model which can investigate the gait characteristics of the system is proposed. Force and torques acting on the system parts can be guessed prior to the experiments if the user's height and weight are specified. This will also help increasing the consistency between the dynamic simulation results and the input parameters required for experiments. Results of the gait analysis show that the model can successfully reproduce the kinematics of the system joints derived from experiments. In addition, it is shown by dynamics analysis that WAMC provides a comfortable ride as the forces and torques acting on the system are in admissible limits.","PeriodicalId":432004,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133881901","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 these localization techniques, some parameters such as relative permittivity and path loss coefficients in the human body have significant effects on the accuracy of the capsule localization. Hence, these coefficients need to be accurately known or estimated for the effectiveness of the localization algorithm. This paper proposes a new adaptive biomedical capsule localization scheme utilizing a recent geometric cooperative sensor technique to estimate the path loss coefficient for received signal strength (RSS) and the relative permittivity for time-of-flight (TOF) based range sensors. This cooperative environmental coefficient estimation technique involves use of a mobile sensor triplet in place of a single sensor, and provides instantaneous estimates. The proposed capsule localization scheme is combination of a discrete time recursive least squares (RLS) based adaptive localization scheme and the aforementioned coefficient estimation technique, with design parameters specific for the particular WCE localization application. The accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed scheme is successfully demonstrated via a set of simulation tests.","PeriodicalId":432004,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115676916","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}
