Most of these studies use some conventional filtering (i.e. rectification followed by low pass filtering) to estimate the electromyogram (EMG) amplitude and then relate it to the joint torque. Currently some advanced pre-processing techniques (i.e. signal whitening) are also used to estimate the EMG amplitude and then relate it to joint torque. In this study we apply some pre-processing techniques like DC offset removal, noise filtering followed by rectification and then we calculate the moving average of the EMG signal. Thus we get a linear envelope (muscle activation) of the EMG signal and use that linear envelope to estimate the joint torque. To map the EMG to joint torque we propose a new mathematical model. This model has some unknown adjustable parameters, and the values of these parameters are obtained using nonlinear regression. Five subjects took part in the experiments. They were asked to perform non-fatiguing and variable force maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) and submaximal voluntary contractions (SMVC), and the resulting elbow joint torque and EMG signals were recorded. This recorded data was entered to the model, to estimate best fit values for the unknown parameters. Once these values of the parameters were obtained they were put into the model and thus joint torque was estimated. Predictions made by our model are well correlated with experimental data in both MVC and SMVC, the correlation coefficient and mean square error obtained for experimental data during MVC are 0.998 and 0.056Nm respectively. The results of this new model were compared with other existing models and some new models and it was found that our model has greater correlation and least mean square error with experimental data. This model may be helpful in the control systems for recognition systems, robot manipulators, exoskeletons, EMG prosthesis and electric stimulators.","PeriodicalId":435769,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Conference on Autonomous Robots and Agents","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114588665","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 robot is designed modularly, with the demands to climb on a pipe-like substrate and to change to another bar for avoiding. Research on biological climbers shows us, that the locomotion is driven by the trunk, not only by the limbs. So a trunk-driven concept is chosen as a base for the design process. The request by climbing locomotion to the mechanics of the system is very strong. The robot is build by only two different module types. The substrate contact has to be established and broken actively. A sensor concept a schematic was developed, with allow to determinate relevant sensor ranges depending on the desired type of control. It detects the relative position between gripping module and substrate by tactile sensors. The control of the robot is realized with four different modes. It is possible to switch between the modes. So it is possible to use the optimal control strategy for the actual situation.","PeriodicalId":435769,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Conference on Autonomous Robots and Agents","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129262088","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}

We do not need to resort to estimating the inverse dynamics. Our control utilizes the full dynamic model estimate including an inertia matrix estimate, referred to as a forward dynamics approach. Our novel contribution is to use an inertia matrix estimate to supervise the training of the neural networks. We find this overcomes the practical difficulties typically encountered with the forward dynamics method. The proposed method greatly improves performance over the forward dynamics approach, verified in experiment. The method is robust to changes in the real inertia matrix, because of a payload, even though the supervisory inertia matrix remains constant.","PeriodicalId":435769,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Conference on Autonomous Robots and Agents","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127945935","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}

Here relatively measuring sensors are the odometry and nine narrow beam infrared sensors with nonlinear characteristics mounted on a mobile robot. An inaccurate indoor GPS sensor is available for absolute position data. However, for the best position estimate all these sensors have to be considered. The data fusion can only be done with comparable data. Therefore, the relative sensor information is transformed into absolute position information by convolution and represented as individual position probability grids. To determine the resulting position of one robot these grids are combined according to Bayes Theorem.","PeriodicalId":435769,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Conference on Autonomous Robots and Agents","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130897156","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 design of this testbed aims for enhancing the sensing capability of the robotic agents, overcoming the constraints led by lack of communications among robots and accustoming itself to various formation control simulations. The proposed design schema utilizes an overhead camera to localize the agents, 3 E-puck robots and one computer as the simulation platform and console to generate commands for controlling the robots and recording the experimental data. Throughout this project, the simulations in Matlab and the agents on testbed could run at the same time, besides, the location data of agents would be recorded and drawn as a stop motion figure in Matlab for further analysis and study. Several basic tasks, such as triangular formation flocking and moving, and formation centre preserving, are implemented using the testbed.","PeriodicalId":435769,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Conference on Autonomous Robots and Agents","volume":" 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132123385","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}

Achieving optimal robot energy consumption is only possible if robot control parameters and morphology are tuned simultaneously. Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well suited for this purpose. In this application, however, GAs converge slowly because of the high dimensionality of the fitness landscape, the limited number of successful designs within this landscape, and the significant computational cost of evaluating the fitness function using dynamics simulations. To accelerate GA convergence for design applications involving biomimetic robots, a new physics-based preprocessing methodology is proposed. This preprocessing strategy was applied to develop gaits for a biomimetic caterpillar robot. Convergence speeds were observed to increase significantly through the application of the physics-based preprocessing.","PeriodicalId":435769,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Conference on Autonomous Robots and Agents","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132381336","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}

First, this paper reports a human interference-free determination of material deposition destinations based on image processing of the cell structures. Depending on the applications, foreign materials could be deposited inside the nucleus of the cell or outside but still inside the cytoplasm of the cell. Recognition of the nucleoli boundary brings us basic cell structure information, which consequently provides high flexibility to determine the deposition destinations, with no need of the destinations to be selected by an operator. Second, the paper presents a visual servo control design which moves the micropipette tip to the targeted position and deposits foreign materials to that point autonomously. The visual servo control allows the motion settle time within 0.5 sec., with an accuracy of one pixel, which are highly desirable in automated cell injection applications.","PeriodicalId":435769,"journal":{"name":"2009 4th International Conference on Autonomous Robots and Agents","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127665105","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}
