In this research, we focus on lightweight resin materials such as 3D printed parts, and our ultimate goal is to develop practical industrial robots using these materials as structural parts. Unlike conventional light metal materials such as high-strength aluminum, resin materials have creep deformation properties even at room temperature, which deteriorates the end-point position accuracy in practical use over a long period. In this paper, we fabricated an experiment apparatus that can measure creep deformation by applying 40 kgf of load at the end of a beam specimen. A laser displacement meter accurately measured the creep deformation for approximately two months (1600 hours). For comparison, we measured the creep deformation of six specimens of five different lightweight resin materials and conventional aluminum alloys (A5052). The results showed that 3D printed materials had large creep deformation, whereas A5052 and FELCARBO showed almost no creep deformation.","PeriodicalId":518021,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SII)","volume":"27 9","pages":"592-597"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531951","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 the proposed method, each UAV is utilized as a moving relay to offer high performance for relay networks, especially for large and high-stability throughputs. Compared to conventional static relaying, our proposed method cannot only exploit the advantages of the dynamic relay system but also optimize the speed of each UAV to provide a new enhancement on network throughputs and the network's quality of services (QoSs). In addition, given a predetermined trajectory of each UAV relay, we define a novel solution for the optimization problem, which can both minimize throughput variation and optimize the speed of each UAV. Numerical results show that the proposed method can achieve significant throughput gains over the conventional relaying techniques.","PeriodicalId":518021,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SII)","volume":"34 11","pages":"99-103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531596","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}

It is important for robots to persuade people to act in order to encourage them to achieve a specific goal. We believe that it is necessary to identify a strategy for robot behavior that can encourage people to take action to finally achieve their goals, even if they refuse to be persuaded by the robot. Therefore, we propose a strategy that incorporates not only robot behaviors that people feel comfortable with, but also dares to incorporate uncomfortable behaviors at effective times. In this strategy, we set up two types of robot behaviors: rewarding behavior and punitive behavior. Reward behaviors are favorable, expresses positive empathy, and is willing to accept instructions and cooperatively perform actions. Punitive behaviors are not favorable, expresses negative empathy, and makes people feel uncomfortable, such that they do not want to accept instructions and cooperatively perform actions. In this paper, we conducted a study on adult and older adult subjects to investigate the impression of the robot's gaze behavior, gestures and voice, which were designed as rewarding and punitive behaviors.","PeriodicalId":518021,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SII)","volume":"35 5","pages":"610-615"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531762","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}

One of the contributing factors to this shortage is attributed to low back pain (LBP). Considering the current environment of hospitals and care facilities, a more straightforward approach should be adopted for the prevention and improvement of LBP. Therefore, this study aims to raise awareness of the risk of LBP through the determination of lifted object weight, and encouraging individuals to actively engage in prevention of LBP. Previous study demonstrated the feasibility of distinguishing between objects weighing Okg and 25kg during lifting motions based on spikes in acceleration data. However, there is a need to differentiate between weights with smaller differences. Hence, this study focuses on lifting objects of unknown weight by the stoop lifting that are known to impose significant lumbar strain, and proposes a method for discerning between objects weighing 10kg and 20kg using a single triaxial accelerometer. This differentiation is achieved by measuring changes in posture during lifting motions through the decomposition of gravitational acceleration. The effectiveness of this study is verified through the discrimination accuracy calculated using Support Vector Machine (SVM) analysis.","PeriodicalId":518021,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SII)","volume":"28 7","pages":"30-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531979","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 developed a human metrics explorer (HuME) ™ system for realizing easy synchronous measurement and analysis of data from several devices. The purposes of this study are to confirm the accuracy of the trigger signal used for synchronization of the HuME system in a basic experiment and to demonstrate the feasibility of the use of the system through synchronous measurement and analysis of signals from multiple device types through a practical experiment of emotion estimation. In a basic experiment, we examined the time lag between the transmission of trigger signals from the transmitter and the recording of these signals on sensing devices placed at various positions. In a practical experiment concerning emotion estimation applications, we measured the physiological data of two participants during a board game using the developed wearable facial electromyogram and electrocardiogram devices, commercial electrodermal activity devices, and cameras. Consequently, the absolute maximum variation in the time lag was 2 ms. Additionally, we could measure and analyze data synchronously from the multiple device types using the HuME system and capture the physiological responses of the participants during the game. In conclusion, we confirmed that the trigger signal was accurate for the HuME system synchronization and demonstrated the feasibility of this system in the synchronization of multiple device types.","PeriodicalId":518021,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SII)","volume":"22 2","pages":"184-189"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531986","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}

This has allowed us to construct a system where, with only simple instructions like pick and place positions and desired skills, the robot can perform complex tasks by planning both the execution order and movements.
