This paper describes a mobile robot intended for being employed in a multi-agent system. We have already proposed a multi-agent system which realizes patient-aid by helping a lying patient take a distant object on the table. In this paper, a mobile robot agent is developed and is included in the system. An effective man-machine communication strategy is proposed by use of a vision agent settled on the ceiling. If a human (assumed to be a patient) wishes to take an object distant on the floor, he points to the object. The vision agent detects the direction of his arm by image processing and guesses which object he intends to take. The vision agent asks him if it is what he wants and, if yes, the mobile robot runs to take and bring it to him. The system is overviewed with the explanation of a mobile robot. Some experimental results are shown with discussion.

This paper discusses a force distribution scheme which minimizes the weighted norm of the forces/torques applied on weak points of cooperating multiple robot arms. The scheme is proposed to avoid the damage or unwanted motion of any weak point of robots or object stemming from excessive forces/torques. Since the proposed scheme can be used for either the joint torque minimization or the exerted force minimization on the object, it can be regarded as a unified force minimization method for multiple robot arms. The computational complexity in this scheme is analyzed using the properties of Jarcobian. Simulation of two identical PUMA robots held an object is carried out to illustrate the proposed scheme. By the proper choice of the weighting matrix in the performance index, we show that force minimization for a weak point can be achieved, and that the exerted force minimization on the object can be changed to the joint torque minimization.

A power-plant simulation tool has been developed for training the plant operators and testing a plant control system. The simulation tool is composed of a graphic editor, a component model builder and a system simulation solver. Such new programing techniques as object-oriented modeling and GUI(Graphical User Interface) are employed in developing the simulation tool. The graphic editor is based on the OpenGL library for effective implementation of GUI while the component model builder is based on object-oriented programming for efficient generalization of component models. The developed tool has been verified through the simulation of a real power plant.

This paper proposes an Object-oriented model for Generic Equipment Model(GEM) which is applied to semiconductor processing Equipment. A proposed implementation model for GEM consists of three modules : a module to convert SECS-II message and a module to transmit messages between GEM and a physical equipment. The proposed Object-oriented model for GEM has advantages in reuse and user management from the point of view of development program. Especially, this paper proposes a GEM agent COM, which is a base of GEM, transmits messages and events among modules. This Object-oriented model is analysed and developed by using UML.

In this paper we propose a new adaptive stereo object tracking system that can extract the object from the complex background and foreground noises by using the image-based SAD algorithm and control the convergence angle and pan/tilt of cameras by using optical BPEJTC. From the experimental results the proposed stereo tracking system is found to track the object adpatively under the circumstance of complex and changing background noises and the possibility of real-time implementation of the proposed system by using the optical system is also suggested.

This paper is to present a method for recognizing an image of a tracking object by processing the image from a camera, whose attitude is controlled in inertial space with inertial co-ordinate system. In order to recognize an object, a pseudo-random M-array is attached on the object and it is observed by the camera which is controlled on inertial coordinate basis by inertial stabilization unit. When the attitude of the camera is changed, the observed image of M-array is transformed by use of affine transformation to the image in inertial coordinate system. Taking the cross-correlation function between the affine-transformed image and the original image, we can recognize the object. As parameters of the attitude of the camera, we used the azimuth angle of camera, which is de-fected by gyroscope of an inertial sensor, and elevation an91e of camera which is calculated from the gravitational acceleration detected by servo accelerometer.

This paper describes a method for recognition of two-dimensional position of an object by use of aerial ultra-sonic sensor and signal processing technique, which would become a help for blind person or self-mobile robot. First, we have developed a method for measuring the time difference between the transmitted and the received burst wave by use of one ultrasonic transmitter and three receivers. Secondly, a new method is developed for measuring the distance to an object by use of M-sequence correlation method. Thirdly, a measurement method to obtain the position of an object is described by use of phase-arrayed ultrasonic sensor, which gives us a wide-range position determination in a short time.

기존 객체지향 기술의 객체는 상태(data) 정보와 행위(behavior) 정보를 캡슐화하여 실세계의 객체를 표현하지만, 메시지가 전달되어야만 반응하는 수동 객체(passive object)이다. 본 논문에서 소개하는 분산 능동 객체 시스템(Distributed Active Object System: DAOS) 방식은 CORBA 기반의 분산 환경에서, 객체의 상태 정보와 행위 정보 뿐 아니라 객체 자신의 제어(control) 부분까지 캡슐화한 능동 객체(active object)를 지원하여 실객체를 더욱 자연스럽게 표현할 수 있다. 여기서, 자신의 제어란 자신의 상태뿐 아니라 인터페이스 변수(interface variable)로 연결된 타 객체의 상태까지 모니터링하고 그 상태 변화에 따라 스스로 행위를 수행하는 것을 말한다. 따라서 DAOS 방식은 프로그램의 메인에서 메시지 전달을 통한 각 분산 객체들의 제어를 기술하지 않고, DAOSMain 클래스에서 인터페이스 변수들을 사용하여 객체들을 구성적으로 조립하여 시스템을 구축한다. 즉, DAOS 방식은 객체 조립성을 지원하여 분산 소프트웨어의 생산성을 향상시키고, 제어까지 캡슐화된 능동 객체를 지원하여 분산 소프트웨어의 생산성을 향상시키고, 제어까지 캡슐화된 능동 객체를 지원하여 컴포넌트의 재사용성을 개선한다.

This paper presents the polygon-based Q-leaning and Parallel SVM algorithm for object search with multiple robots. We organized an experimental environment with one hundred mobile robots, two hundred obstacles, and ten objects. Then we sent the robots to a hallway, where some obstacles were lying about, to search for a hidden object. In experiment, we used four different control methods: a random search, a fusion model with Distance-based action making (DBAM) and Area-based action making (ABAM) process to determine the next action of the robots, and hexagon-based Q-learning, and dodecagon-based Q-learning and parallel SVM algorithm to enhance the fusion model with Distance-based action making (DBAM) and Area-based action making (ABAM) process. In this paper, the result show that dodecagon-based Q-learning and parallel SVM algorithm is better than the other algorithm to tracking for object.

Grasping and manipulation by hands can be considered as one of inevitable functions to achieve the performances desired in humanoid operations. When a humanoid robot manipulates an object by his hands, each finger should be well-controlled to accomplish a precise manipulation of the object grasped. So, the trajectory of each joint required for a precise finger motion is fundamentally necessary to be planned stably. In this sense, this paper proposes an effective joint motion planning method for humanoid fingers. The proposed method newly employs a bio-mimetic concept for joint motion planning. A suitable model that describes an interphalangeal coordination in a human finger is suggested and incorporated into the proposed joint motion planning method. The feature of the proposed method is illustrated by simulation results. As a result, the proposed method is useful for a facilitative finger motion. It can be applied to improve the control performance of humanoid fingers or prosthetic fingers.
