In this paper, the networking integration application of an intelligent production line is studied and developed for aerospace precision manufacturing. The technical development of the performance equalization and control for EDM machine is also introduced with the related technologies of the machine...

In the present study, the systematic method for the forward dynamics associated with the ground contact model was introduced to be able to consider the viscoelastic effect when contacting with the ground. In particular, we focused on the hoof-ground interaction in the simplified horse leg model because...

In this research, we proposed a data augmentation method using topic model for Pointer–Generator model. This method is that adding important sentences to an article as extended article. Furthermore, we compare our proposed method with data augmentation methods using Easy Data Augmentation (EDA), LexRank...

The Junior High School Rescue Robot Challenge is an annual activity held by Hiroshima University with the sponsorship of a construction machinery company. Its 2020 theme was to convey injured people “tenderly” from the top of a half-demolished building to ground. We developed shock sensitive tiny dummy...

In this paper, the Suspended Anti-Gravity Device (SAGD) is studied to construct sustainable microgravity environment on the ground. To overcome the difficulty of accurate gravity compensation when SAGD is disturbed, a new adaptive sliding mode controller is proposed based on the dynamic model, which...

We have developed a system that enables automatic piano performance. To make this piano play like a living pianist, we have to add expression to the performance. Accordingly, we have developed a musical editing system that utilizes a database to edit music more efficiently.

The “Future Investment Strategy 2018” presented by the Cabinet Office in 2018 states that there is an urgent need to develop human resources that can use Artificial Intelligence to achieve the goal of Society 5.0. As a part of this strategy, programming education at the primary/secondary level of education...

In chemical plants and other process industries, desired conditions are achieved by adjusting controllers. However, it is difficult to obtain the desired control response because most of the controllers use fixed Proportional-Integral-Differential (PID) control. On the other hand, the internal model...

We propose a technique of simulation and regression testing for Extended Place/transition Net with Attributed Tokens (EPNAT) models, and then show a prototype tool to partially support it. In the technique, the information about a current marking, current values of variables, and current fireable transitions...

Generative art is produced by procedural techniques. It has obtained a lot of attention since the beginning of computer graphics. Many works of art are inspired by nature, among which phyllotaxis is as well. It is a combination of mathematics and the beauty of nature. Not only can it be seen everywhere...

An important feature of a medical education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic is a migration of classes into an online or mixed format, which requires simulated-based teaching methods with elements of robotics and artificial intelligence. We analyzed computer programs for maintaining medical records...

Image Quality Assessment (IQA) is a vital element in improving the efficiency of an automatic recognition system of various wood species. There is a need to develop a No-Reference IQA (NR-IQA) system as a perfect and distortion free wood images may be impossible to be acquired in the dusty environment...

This paper proposes a method of detecting a person fallen on the ground and its head and lower body from aerial images. The study intends to automate discovering victims of disasters such as earthquakes from areal images taken by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Rotation-invariant histogram of oriented...

An anomaly detection model using deep learning for detecting disaster-stricken (landslide) areas in synthetic aperture radar images is proposed. Since it is difficult to obtain a large number of training images, especially disaster area images, with annotations, we design an anomaly detection model that...

We innovate an educational toy to play the English learning system. The proposed system uses a Raspberry Pi and two Near Field Communication (NFC) readers. The user can learn English words in three steps by using our system. First, NFC tags are presented corresponding to English words and illustrations,...
