Some of them have been investigated based on conventional methods using PID control,2,3 robust control,4,5 sliding mode control,6–8 adaptive control.9,10 The others are based on artificial intelligence using fuzzy control11–13 and neural control.14–16 In fact, neural networks are recommended for intelligent control of nonlinear dynamic systems. Principally, this is due to two important properties of neural networks: their ability to learn, and their good performance for optimization. Nowadays, much attention is devoted to the use of neural networkbased control of mobile robots for trajectory following. The principle of the method is based on a multilayer feed-forward neural networks with back-propagation learning algorithm, and it has been shown that only one hidden layer can be largely sufficient to approximate any continuous functions. In,3 a PID-based neural network is developed for velocity and orientation, tracking control of a non-holonomic mobile robot that is appropriate for a kind of plant with nonlinearity uncertainties and disturbances.","PeriodicalId":54943,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Robotics & Automation","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84228014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the ethical implications derived from social interactions and the construction of affective and psychological bonds have not been studied in depth yet. The development and advancement of new robotic technologies, of artificial intelligence and, in particular, of the production of humanoids oriented to functions of accompaniment, entertainment or education,1 suggests the emergence of a new type of human subjectivity. The interaction with these new technologies is unprecedented and their anthropological and ethical implications are little studied so far. While it is true that there are large and dizzying technical advances in this field,1–5 reflective processes about what these advances imply for the human condition require greater attention. It is not only a matter of proposing a naive dystopian or utopian vision, but of constructing a field of trans disciplinary studies and researchD6–8 involving mechanisms of epistemological surveillance, ethical criticism and political effects as a sphere of human action that favors complementarily between technological developments and applications in everyday life and medical and psychological effects (Figure 1).","PeriodicalId":54943,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Robotics & Automation","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85747253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, they are multi–functional smart materials that can be used in biomimetic soft robotics. They normally require a small electric field of a few V/mm and generate spectacular bending and flexing under small electric fields and generate transient voltage and currents output due to dynamic interaction with the environment. Environmental dynamics, like wind or ocean waves, makes them generate an output voltage and transient current of a few mVs for small samples (10mm x 40mm x 0.2mm). IPMCs are capable of operating in or under water or other polar liquids, like blood. Due to the imposed electric field, the conjugated cations electrophoretically migrate towards the cathode and thus expand the cathode side of the ionic membrane and thus bending towards the anode electrode is observed. Osmotic pressures are also instrumental in the migration of cations towards the cathode electrode. Shahinpoor, Bar–Cohen, Xue, Simpson, and Smith1–2 published an early version and review of IPMCs in 1998.1–2 See the pioneering works of Osada, Oguro, Kawami, Asaka, Takenaka and Shahinpoor,3–14 in the 1992–93periods. The electrodynamics of cations generation and transportation in IPMCs are governed by the Poisson– Nernst–Planck field equations15–24 Biomimetic soft robotic actuation like artificial muscles and sensing of these materials display artificial muscle behavior. For example, an applied voltage of 1 to 4 volts for a typical sample of the size 10mm x 80mm x 0.2mm typically produces spectacular bending (Figure 1).","PeriodicalId":54943,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Robotics & Automation","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90371961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
