For patient of limb paralysis, the upper limb rehabilitation equipment is important for them to train the muscles. The equipment should be secure, useful and comfortable. They are ensured by the design of mechanical structure and control system. The single joint motion and combinatorial motion are introduced...

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is the problem in which a sensor-enabled mobile robot incrementally builds a map for an unknown environment, while localizing itself within this map. A problem with detection of correct path of moving objects is the received noisy data. Therefore, it is possible...

In this paper, a control strategy is proposed for assisting patients, with wheelchairs, to move around within a hospital. The strategy is tested using a mobile robot that is navigated in a hospital while using obstacle avoidance scheme. The mobile robot is operated using both genetic algorithm and A*...

In the teleoperation robots one of the big challenges is operator’s error in urgent situations that can makes big problem for robot and other systems which working beside the robot. This paper proposes an approach of haptic system and fuzzy logic system with implementation on teleoperation demining robot....

This study improves efficiency of software development using MDA. This paper develops the tool that keeps consistency between a model and a source code in software development using MDA. The tool has two functions: (i) Generating a source code and (ii) Keeping consistency between a model and a source...

This paper studies the fault reconstruction problem for the continuous linear time-invariant system. A new disturbance-decoupled fault reconstruction design is proposed by cooperating with the idea of the adaptive sliding mode method. The new scheme does not impose restrictions on both the upper boundary...

The most important aspect in IoT is security. The provision of security in IoT systems is the responsibility of a trust management mechanism. However a trust management mechanism comprises a number of components, of which secure routing is vital among them. There are a number of effective parameters...

Chaos targeting via Minimum Principle Control (MPC) was suggested here, to be unique, the targeting via MPC can not only stabilize all the non-stable equilibrium when the control was introduced in the first or the second equation, but also does the extra added control in the third equation, with the...

In this paper, a global non-singular fast terminal sliding mode controller (FTSMC) is designed for an active gravity field simulator (AGFS). The stability of the control algorithm can be easily verified by using Lyapunov theory. It is shown that the proposed controller can eliminate the chattering effect...

When examining collective behavior, we focus on the interactions of individuals. We must also consider the microscopic level, where individual agent decisions occur, and the macroscopic level, where collective behavior can be observed. Collective behavior is both interesting and difficult because aggregate...

If there were no changes in the environment surrounding businesses, the numbers of people leaving and entering employment would stay almost the same. Therefore, understanding the numbers allow us to make assumptions about the changes inside and outside companies. However, when categorizing businesses...

In the last decade the robotics industry has created millions of additional jobs led by consumer electronics and the electric vehicle industry, and by 2020, robotics will be a $100 billion worth industry, as big as the tourism industry. For example, the rehabilitation robot market has grown 10 times...

This work develops an Android-based patrol robot featuring Automatic Vehicle Patrolling (AVP) and Automatic Plate Recognition (APR). The AVP feature integrates 3 novel methods, wheel-wheelcover-based AdaBoost wheel detection, contour-wheel-oriented vehicle approaching, and Ad-Hoc-based remote motion...

Wireless sensor networks can be widely applied for a security system or a smart home system. Since some of the wireless remote sensor nodes may be powered by energy storage devices such as batteries, it is a very important issue to transmit signals at lower power with the consideration of the communication...

This paper describes the Playware ABC concept, and how it allows anybody, anywhere, anytime to be building bodies and brains, which facilitates users to construct, combine and create. The Playware ABC concept focuses engineering and IT system development on creating solutions that are usable by all kinds...

The Playware ABC concept is used to create solutions that are usable by all kinds of users and contexts in our globalized society. In this paper, the Playware ABC can be exemplified with the development of the modular interactive tiles for health prevention and rehabilitation of anybody, anywhere, anytime....
