To guarantee the stability of master or slave side, passivity observer/passivity controller are applied. But, passivity observer/passivity controller cannot deal with communication delay, and thus even small communication delay cause the system to be unstable. To cope with this problem, wave variables are additionally employed to have robustness to fixed communication delays. To show the validity of our proposed approach, several computer simulation and experimental results are illustrated.","PeriodicalId":443174,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts, 2005.","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127281787","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 describe key advancements in the field consisting of three core technologies for visual pattern recognition (ViPR), visual simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM), and a low-cost solution for localization using optical beacons (NorthStar). ViPR is an algorithm for visual pattern recognition based on scale invariant features (SIFT features) which provides a robust and computationally effective solution to fundamental vision problems including the correspondence problem; object recognition; structure; and pose estimation. vSLAM is an algorithm for visual simultaneous localization and mapping using one camera sensor in conjunction with dead-reckoning information, e.g., odometry. vSLAM provides a cost-effective solution to localization and mapping for cluttered environments and is reliable to dynamic changes in the environment Finally, NorthStar uses IR projections onto a surface to estimate the robot's pose based on triangulation. We give examples of concept prototypes as well as commercial products such as Sony's Aibo, which have incorporated these technologies in order to improve product utility and value.","PeriodicalId":443174,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts, 2005.","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132230436","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}

Unlike conventional processes, our process satisfies high-resolution and highspeed requirements. The system design allows us the processing of micro-level forms by stacking up melted polymers from the nozzle. A single layer from the piled-up layers of extruded lines was observed to evaluate the resolution. The lateral and depth resolutions attained are 40 /spl mu/m and 45 /spl mu/n, respectively. Biodegradable polymers enable three-dimensional microstructures such as micro-pipes, micro-bends, and micro-coil springs to be manufactured in less than 15 min. The biocompatibility of the structure was evaluated using a cell line (PC12). A small vessel, with a transparent base, was fabricated using PLA and cells were cultivated in it. The cell morphology and the proliferation were then compared with the results obtained using the standard method. Our system renders it possible to produce toxic-free, and leakage-free devices. The mechanical strength of our microstructures was evaluated using a tensile strength test. The tensile strength of the microstructure was lower than the one obtained from the conventional method, but has enough strength for fabrication of medical devices. Our system is expected to have potential applications in optimum design and fabrication of implantable devices.","PeriodicalId":443174,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts, 2005.","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128356648","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}

Preliminary experimental results showed that two different spotting methods were successful in forming CNTs between microelectrodes and the time required to form one CNT sensor was less than 1 second. This feasible batch manufacturable method dramatically reduces production costs and production time of nano sensing devices and potentially enable fully automated assembly of CNT and other nanowire based devices.","PeriodicalId":443174,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts, 2005.","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133505242","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}
