This study is concentrated on the development of hight speed multi-object image processing algorithm, and based on these a1gorithm, vision control scheme is developed for the robot's position control in real time. Recently, the use of vision system is rapidly increasing in robot's position centre. To apply vision system in robot's position control, it is necessary to transform the physical coordinate of object into the image information acquired by CCD camera, which is called image processing. Thus, to control the robot's point position in real time, we have to know the center point of object in image plane. Particularly, in case of rigid body, the center points of multi-object must be calculated in a image plane at the same time. To solve these problems, the algorithm of multi-object for rigid body control is developed.

In this paper, we propose a multi-agent system for assisting those who need help in taking objects around him/her. One may imagine this kind of situation when a person is lying in bed and wishes to take an object on a distant table that cannot be reached only by stretching his/her hand. The proposed multi-agent system is composed of three main independent agents; a vision agent, a robot agent, and a pass agent. Once a human expresses his/her intention by pointing to a particular object using his/her hand and a finger, these agents cooperatively bring the object to him/her. Natural communication between a human and the multi-agent system is realized in this way. Performance of the proposed system is demonstrated in an experiment, in which a human intends to take one of the four objects on the floor and the three agents successfully cooperate to find out the object and to bring it to the human.

This paper provides a motion analysis of soft-fingertip object manipulation tasks by presenting a dynamic model of multi-fingered object manipulations with soft fingertips. It is fundamentally observed that soft fingertips employed in a multi-fingered hand generate some deformation effects during the manipulation process and also that those effects are closely related to the behavior of the manipulated object. In order to analyze the motion of using soft fingertips, a dynamic manipulation control scheme is presented. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the motion of soft-fingertips applied in object manipulating tasks and are further used to discuss the characteristics of soft-fingertip motions.

Object-based image retrieval method is addressed. A new image segmentation algorithm and image comparing method between segmented objects are proposed. For image segmentation, color and texture features are extracted from each pixel in the image. These features we used as inputs into VQ (Vector Quantization) clustering method, which yields homogeneous objects in terns of color and texture. In this procedure, colors are quantized into a few dominant colors for simple representation and efficient retrieval. In retrieval case, two comparing schemes are proposed. Comparing between one query object and multi objects of a database image and comparing between multi query objects and multi objects of a database image are proposed. For fast retrieval, dominant object colors are key-indexed into database.

Robot manipulators constituing multi-robot system must exert the desired motion force on an object to preserve tghe fine motion of it. The forces exerte on an object by the end-effectors of multi-inducing force and the internal force. Here, motion-inducing force effects the motion of an object, but internal force as lies in the null space of an object coordinate can't effect it. The motion of an object can't track exactly the desired motion by the effect of an object, but internal force as lies in the null space of the effect of internal force component, therefore internal force component must be considered. In this paper, first, under assumption that we can estimate exactly the parameter of dynamics, we constitute paper, first, under assumption that we can estimate exactly the parameter of dynamics, we constitute the controller concerning internal force. And we obtain the internal force as projecting force sensor readings onto the space spanned by null basis set of jacobian matrix. Using the resolved acceleration control method and the fact that internal force lies in the null space of jacobian matrix, we construct the robust control law to preserve the robustness with respect to the uncertainty of mainpulator parameters.

In this paper, a novel multi-object tracking method to track an unknown number of objects is proposed. To handle multiple object states and uncertain observations efficiently, a probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter is adopted and modified. The PHD filter is capable of reducing false positives, managing object appearances and disappearances, and estimating the multiple object trajectories in a unified framework. Although the PHD filter is robust in cluttered environments, it is vulnerable to false negatives. For this reason, we propose to exploit local observations in an RFS of the observation model. Each local observation is generated by using an online trained object detector. The main purpose of the local observation is to deal with false negatives in the PHD filtering procedure. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method robustly tracked multiple objects under practical situations.

We describe about the graphic simulation system which supports the determination of efficient multi-robot motions during cooperation. For the construction of the simulation software for multi-robot motions, two problems are presented. First problem is that all the robot motions must be determinded using both the desired object motions and the holonomic constraints with the object. To find the robot motions combined with the various object motion path, the robot motions are derived from the desired object path instead of a master robot path. Therefore robot motions can be easily modifiable with the various object motions. This type of motion determination is different from that of the master-slaves method using the master robot motions. The other is that the developments of robot application softwares need a heavy cost when the participated robots or the tasks given to the robots are changed. Based on object-oriented programming paradigm, we present useful software objects describing robot application programming environment. The object-oriented programming paradigm increases the software reusability, reliability, and extensibility, and also provides the structual concepts to cope with the various demands of robot application programming.

This paper deals with a resource efficient artificial intelligence (AI) service architecture for multi-channel video streams. As an AI service, we consider the object detection model, which is the most representative for video applications. Since most object detection models are basically designed for a single channel video stream, the utilization of the additional resource for multi-channel video stream processing is inevitable. Therefore, we propose a resource efficient AI service framework, which can be associated with various AI service models. Our framework is designed based on the modular architecture, which consists of adaptive frame control (AFC) Manager, multiplexer (MUX), adaptive channel selector (ACS), and YOLO interface units. In order to run only a single YOLO process without regard to the number of channels, we propose a novel approach efficiently dealing with multi-channel input streams. Through the experiment, it is shown that the framework is capable of performing object detection service with minimum resource utilization even in the circumstance of multi-channel streams. In addition, each service can be guaranteed within a deadline.

The sharing of objects for authoring frequently occurs among participating users in a cooperative authoring system where many users can collaborate. Floor control is therefore needed not only for minimizing the race condition during object accesses but also for ensuring the exclusive use of objects. h floor is a temporary access right that is given to a participating user who wants to use a shared object. Although the floor control methods for a single session environment can be found in various literature, those methods for a multi-session environment can hardly be found. In a multi-session environment, an object can be shared by multiple sessions. As a solution to the problems due to object sharing in such an environment, this paper presents a floor control method based on the chair-of-chair guidance. This method is an extension of those based on traditional chair guidance; the chair-of-chair elected among session chairs exists in this method.

This paper proposes an intelligent PID/Fuzzy control system for two humanoid robots to transport objects stably. When a robot transports an object while walking, a whole body system of a robot may not be stable due to vibration or external factors from a different departure speed error and a body movement of walking robots. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the horizontal and vertical locations and speeds of object, then calibrate the difference of departure speed between robots with PID/Fuzzy control. The results of simulation with two robots indicated that a proposed controller makes robots to transport an object stably.
