This paper proposes a knee android model (Knee-AM) that can reproduce the internal-external rotation with screw-home movement (SHM) of the human knee. This rotation of the Knee-AM was realized by changing the number, lengths, and fixing points of the nylon-cords of our previous Knee-AM. Moreover, when...

This paper introduces a study of spoken dialogue agent systems using emotional expressions as affective human computer interaction. The paper describes an experiment investigating the effect that the expression and words of the agent have on people, introduces a spoken agent for customer services using...

In this paper, a suspension gravity compensation system (SGCS) is modeled and the corresponding controller is designed. The system is a servo platform consisting of three sub-systems by which a micro-gravity environment can be established. Especially, a novel zero stiffness suspension sub-system and...

The inductance simulator and the nonlinear resistor, which are constructed by operational amplifiers and resistors, are applied to complete the analog circuit implementation of Chua’s circuit as well as improve the accuracy of circuit parameters. The state variable z, which represents the product of...

In accordance with the concept of this organized session, in this presentation, we will consider the study of automatic narrative or story generation as a research field of artificial intelligence (AI) at the levels of generation, creation, and production. Firstly, we study the technologies of narrative...

This research lays out the conception and functions of developed Commercial Film Production Support System (CFPSS). The research then explains the results of a viewing experiment that utilized CFPSS. In this experiment where commercial films of beer were utilized, the following findings were obtained:...

The need of detecting moving object like human and vehicle by mobile camera is increasing in commerce and industry. Therefore, tradition method of abstracting moving object from still background cannot solve the problem. Though Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) have been widely used for human detection,...

This paper is concerned with the attitude/position estimation of a rigid-body using inertial and vision sensors. By employing the Newton-Euler method, a kinematic model is developed for the rigid-body by treating the inertial measurements as inputs. Based on the coordinate transformation, a nonlinear...

Recently, several digital watermarking techniques have been proposed for protecting the copyright of moving image files by hiding data in the frequency domain. In the present study, we applied our method for authenticating a moving image, which uses a discrete wavelet transform for a static image and...

The solar photovoltaic battery is a very important new type of renewable distributed energy. But its output power is directly affected by the light intensity and temperature. Its voltage-current characteristics have obvious nonlinear features. Therefore, a new MPPT technology based on the model predictive...

This work illustrates the effects of various system parameters on the dynamics of flexible link of revolute-jointed rigid-flexible manipulator. Flexible link is considered as a Euler-Bernoulli beam and finite element based on Langrange approach is employed for dynamic analysis. A comparative study is...

In order to develop the geometric parameters measurement technology of wheel tread, it is important to ensure the positioning precision firstly before measurement. In this paper, a new method with no-contact measurement based on line structured light is given to solve this problem. Here the traditional...

This paper studies the problem of sensor selection for maneuvering target tracking in the cluttered environment. By modeling the target dynamics as jump Markov linear systems, a decentralized tracking algorithm is developed by applying the extended Kalman filter and the probabilistic data association...

In RoboCup Standard Platform League (SPL), the method using unscented particle filter (UPF) has been proposed for self-localization. The UPF resolves a problem of particle filter which cannot be sampled appropriately when the likelihood is too high or low. This filter can estimate accurate position when...

Networks of networks paradigm was introduced to explore the rendezvous problems of leader-follower multi-agent system, where the rendezvous actors were categorized into the target object, the leader agents, the informed follower agents and the isolated follower agents, respectively. Then, three humanized...
