The use of unmanned combat systems is of interest for future battlefield. Advanced techniques are being actively studied to build fully autonomous unmanned systems. However, there are technical, ethical and legal limitations for the fully autonomous unmanned combat systems. In addition, a remote controlled system is necessary so far in order to prepare for situations where fully autonomous unmanned systems fail to function properly. Thus, a procedure of developing operational requirements in system level is proposed and interface requirements of unmanned combat vehicles for remote control are described in this study.

For the purpose of the sharing and reusability of software systems in an integrated CASE environment, it is necessary to develope the repository-based integrated software environment. In this paper, we designed and implemented the repository interface between CASE tools and IRDS service interface. We have already implemented the IRDS service interface system according to ANSI IRDS standard in order to develop a repository of an integrated CASE environment. We implemented the repository interface using the CLI(Call Level Interface) method that is composed callable run-time libraries.

In this paper, we propose an interface for interactive sound experience in the virtual concert hall. The proposed interface consists of two systems, called 'virtual acoustic position' and 'virtual active listening'. To provide these systems, we applied an artificial reverberation algorithm, multi-channel source separation and head-related transfer function. The proposed interface was implemented by using Unity. The interface provides the virtual concert hall to user through Oculus Rift, one of the virtual reality headsets. Moreover, we used Leap Motion as a control device to allow a user experience the system with free-hand. And user can experience the sound of the system through headphones.

Electromyogram (EMG) signal generated by voluntary contraction of muscles is often used in rehabilitation devices because of its distinct output characteristics compared to other bio-signals. This paper proposes a novel EMG-based human-computer interface for electric-powered wheelchair users with motor disabilities by C4 or C5 spine cord injury. User's commands to control the electric-powered wheelchair are represented by shoulder elevation motions, which are recognized by comparing EMG signals acquired from the levator scapulae muscles with a preset double threshold value. The interface commands for controlling the electric-powered wheelchair consist of combinations of left-, right- and both-shoulders elevation motions. To achieve a real-time interface, we implement an EMG processing hardware composed of analog amplifiers, filters, a mean absolute value circuit and a high-speed microprocessor. The experimental results using an implemented real-time hardware and an electric-powered wheelchair showed that the EMG-based human-computer interface is feasible for the users with severe motor disabilities.

Robot software components can be categorized into two types; the pure S/W component and the H/W-related one. Since interface testing of the robot software component is the labour-intensive and complicated work, an effective automated testing tool is necessary. Especially it is difficult to test all types of H/W-related components because it is hard work to prepare all H/W modules related to them. This paper proposes a new simulation-based interface testing automation tool(SITAT) which generates automatically test cases for interface testing of the robot software component and executes the interface test with the generated test cases where the simulator is used for simulation of the activity of a H/W module instead of the real H/W module. This paper verifies the effectiveness of the suggested SITAT with testing of the real H/W-related robot software component.

This paper proposes an adaptive PCIe system for TI C66x DSPs. Conventionally, the PCIe system provided by the C66x is a system dependent on the structure in which the primary core writes an application to the DSP memory through the PCIe interface, then activate the secondary core. Due to the dependency between the cores, when developing a project using a PCIe interface, the remaining cores have to be programmed with a concern of the primary core used as the PCIe interface. Therefore, in order to de-couple the connections among the cores, an adaptive PCIe system is proposed, in the paper, in which the cores operate independently compared to the conventional system. Since the core used as the PCIe interface only runs PCIe related operations in the new system, the remaining cores can be fully utilized without concerning the connections with the core for PCIe interface. In order to verify the feasibility of the proposed adaptive PCIe system, the implementations of LTE-A down link, and IEEE 802.11ac are carried out using the evaluation board which includes a TMS320C6670 chip. Altogether, these results support that we demonstrated that the digital signal processing systems with the PCIe Interface can be developed more rapidly by applying the proposed system.

In this paper we describe the status of a silicon-based microelectrode for neural recording and an advanced neural interface. We have developed a silicon neural probe, using a combination of plasma and wet etching techniques. This process enables the probe thickness to be controlled precisely. To enhance the CMOS compatibility in the fabrication process, we investigated the feasibility of the site material of the doped polycrystalline silicon with small grains of around 50 nm in size. This silicon electrode demonstrated a favorable performance with respect to impedance spectra, surface topography and acute neural recording. These results showed that the silicon neural probe can be used as an advanced microelectrode for neurological applications.

This paper proposes conceptual fuzzy sets for picture reference system with visual user interface and command recognition system without keyboard and mouse. The picture reference system consists of the associative picture database, the visual user interface and command recognition system. The associative picture database searches pictures by using conceptual fuzzy sets. To show pictures attractive, the visual user interface provides some visual effect functions. The command recognition unit, without keyboard and mouse, captures user's hand by camera and informs it to the system as a command. We implement and evaluate the picture reference system.
