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.

In this paper, we delelop 4-axis motion controller using TMS320c30 DSP chip and build a 5-axis vertical articulated robot control system. The 4-aixs controller uses a DSP, a high-speed AID and a D/A converter to implement advanced robot control algorithms. The robot control system uses VME-bus and VxWorks realtime multi-tasking operating system. We use RCCL type to implement robot languages.

This paper introduces a robot-based learning system which is designed to teach multiplication to children. In addition to a small humanoid and a smart device delivering educational content, we employ a type of mixed-initiative operation which provides enhanced multi-modal cognition to the r-learning system through human intervention. To investigate major factors that influence people's intention to use the r-learning system and to see how the multi-modality affects the connections, we performed a user study based on TAM (Technology Acceptance Model). The results support the fact that the quality of the system and the natural interaction are key factors for the r-learning system to be used, and they also reveal very interesting implications related to the human behaviors.

A new control scheme for the state space model of the robot system using the theory of optimal multi-variable structure is presented in this paper. It is proposed to optimize multi-dimensional variable structure systems for obtaining the required stabilizing signal by minimizing a performance index with respect to the state vector in the sliding mode. It is concluded the proposed variable structure controller yields better system dynamic performance than that obtained by using the only linear optimal controller inthat responses for a step disturbance have a shorter setting time, no matter what overshoot values and rising time.

This paper presents a scheduling problem for a high-density robotic workcell using multi-objective genetic algorithm. We propose a new algorithm based on NSGA-II(Non-dominated Sorting Algorithm-II) which is the most popular algorithm to solve multi-objective optimization problems. To solve the problem efficiently, the proposed algorithm divides the problem into two processes: clustering and scheduling. In clustering process, we focus on multi-robot positions because they are fixed in manufacturing system and have a great effect on task distribution. We test the algorithm by changing multi-robot positions and compare it to previous work. Test results shows that the proposed algorithm is effective under various conditions.

This paper presents an emotion recognition and its expression system of an intelligent robot like a home robot or a service robot. Emotion recognition method in the robot is used by a facial image. We use a motion and a position of many facial features. apply a tracking algorithm to recognize a moving user in the mobile robot and eliminate a skin color of a hand and a background without a facial region by using the facial region detecting algorithm in objecting user image. After normalizer operations are the image enlarge or reduction by distance of the detecting facial region and the image revolution transformation by an angel of a face, the mobile robot can object the facial image of a fixing size. And materialize a multi feature selection algorithm to enable robot to recognize an emotion of user. In this paper, used a multi layer perceptron of Artificial Neural Network(ANN) as a pattern recognition art, and a Back Propagation(BP) algorithm as a learning algorithm. Emotion of user that robot recognized is expressed as a graphic LCD. At this time, change two coordinates as the number of times of emotion expressed in ANN, and change a parameter of facial elements(eyes, eyebrows, mouth) as the change of two coordinates. By materializing the system, expressed the complex emotion of human as the avatar of LCD.

In multi robot environment, the action selection strategy is important for the cooperation and coordination of multi agents. However the overlap of actions selected individually by each robot makes the acquisition of cooperation behaviors less efficient. In addition to that, a complex and dynamic environment makes cooperation even more difficult. So in this paper, we propose a control algorithm which enables each robot to determine the action for the effective cooperation in multi-robot system. Here, we propose cooperative algorithm with reinforcement learning to determine the action selection In this paper, when the environment changes, each robot selects an appropriate behavior strategy intelligently. We employ ...

The manipulability ellipsoid and the force ellipsoid for a single robot are extended to the case of a multi-robot system. The force ellipsoid is applied to solve the optimal load distribution for the multi-robot system. Two cases are considered in solving the optimal load distribution. In one case, there are no constraints on the joint torques, and the analytic solution ;a given. In the other case, the torque constraints are given in terms of the maximum power consumption, and the algorithm for the solution is proposed.

In this paper, a new multi-fingered robot hand using ultrasonic motors and its control system are developed. The developed robot hand has four fingers and fifteen articulated joints. The distal joint of each finger is directly driven by ultrasonic motor and all joints except the distal joint has low transmission gear mechanism with the motor. The developed robot hand has several advantages in size compared to a hand using conventional DC motors, and in performance compared to a hand using tendons to drive joints. A VME-bus based hand control system and ultrasonic motor driver are also developed. The performance of the hand is confirmed by using the developed control system in real-time.
