Reactive plans for a box-pushing task of a mobile robot are automatically built up, where sequential action plans are found in a configuration space by A* algorithm for various initial configurations. Then, conjunction of conditions to associate with a same behavior are found by a back tracking algorithm. And corresponding reactive plans are generated. Finally, a clustering technique is applied to identify which reactive plan should be applied for a given perceptual condition. Several simulation results are shown to justify our proposed approach.

The present study investigated the effect of sentence translation as a production task on short-term and long-term retention of foreign vocabulary. 87 EFL university students at a beginning level, enrolled in reading class participated in the study. The study compared the performance of three groups on vocabulary recall: (1) Control group, (2) Translation group, and (3) Copy group. During the treatment sessions, translation group translated L1 sentences into English, while copy group simply copied given English sentences with each target word. Results of the immediate test were collected each week from week 2 to week 5 and analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Results revealed that regarding short-term vocabulary retention, participants in rote-copy condition outperformed those in translation group. Four weeks later a delayed test was administered to measure long-term vocabulary retention. In contrast, the results of two-way repeated measures ANOVA showed that long-term vocabulary retention of translation group was significantly greater than copy group. The findings suggest that although sentence translation is rather challenging to low-level learners, it may facilitate long-term retention of new vocabulary given the more elaborate and deeper processing the task entails.

Work performance and human error are complicated phenomena so that it is very difficult to grasp the true nature of them. However, Event Related Potential (ERP) may give a clue to them because human brain reflects diverse psychophysiological process. In the present study, the possibility of ERP application to the ergonomic area was evaluated in view of grasping error symptoms. For that purpose, the subjects were asked to count specific characters in a random character matrix on a computer monitor, and their ERP was compared with their performance data. Based upon the results, the amplitude of P300 was not so high as that in the case of the Odd Ball tasks, correct response corresponded with stable ERP with high P300 amplitude whereas wrong response did with unstable, fluctuating ERP with low P300 amplitude. Those results coincided with the work performance, and it was concluded that 3-wave fluorescent with illumination level of 800 lux would be recommendable for the counting task in concern. Conclusively, ERP including P300 might supply an objective clue to the problem of human errors in cognitive process.

Mobile edge computing (MEC) is capable of providing services to smart devices nearby through radio access networks and thus improving service experience of users. In this paper, an offloading strategy for the joint optimization of computing and communication resources in multi-user and multi-MEC overlapping scene was proposed. In addition, under the condition that wireless transmission resources and MEC computing resources were limited and task completion delay was within the maximum tolerance time, the optimization problem of minimizing energy consumption of all users was created, which was then further divided into two subproblems, i.e. offloading strategy and resource allocation. These two subproblems were then solved by the game theory and Lagrangian function to obtain the optimal task offloading strategy and resource allocation plan, and the Nash equilibrium of user offloading strategy games and convex optimization of resource allocation were proved. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm could effectively reduce the energy consumption of users.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of normal veiling reflection on the human visibility during visual tasks. The apparent task luminance and the apparent background luminance contrast were determined by the levels of the normal veiling reflection luminance and the interior illuminance of the visual target. The semantic differential methodology was used for the ergonomic evaluation of the conditions of experiment which were consisted of the apparent task luminance and the apparent background luminance contrast. Twelve subjects (6 male and 6 female) were participated in this study to perform the tasks which were consisted of 40 experimental conditions. And each condition was repeated 4 times.

Iterative learning control (ILC) is a simple and effective method for the control of systems that perform the same task repetitively. ILC algorithm uses the repetitiveness of the task to track the desired trajectory. In this paper, we propose a PID (proportional plus integral and derivative) type ILC update law for control discrete-time single input single-output (SISO) linear time-invariant (LTI) systems, performing repetitive tasks. In this approach, the input of controlled system in current cycle is modified by applying the PID strategy on the error achieved between the system output and the desired trajectory in a last previous iteration. The convergence of the presented scheme is analyzed and its convergence condition is obtained in terms of the PID coefficients. An optimal design method is proposed to determine the PID coefficients. It is also shown that under some given conditions, this optimal iterative learning controller can guarantee the monotonic convergence. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

The Internet is becoming an abstract system from which we can get every kind of project and to which we can entrust every kind of project. That is, Internet can be considered both as an infinite scale of task pool and infinite scale of TM (Task Module) pool, which surely provides the necessary and sufficient condition for dwelling of the virtual life. n we could build up the proper ecosystem composed of the virtual life, It would be possible to implement the system as a life. The life system thus obtained provides us some decisive advantages, which is not available by the reduction paradigm. In this Paper, we presented an ecosystem based on Internet which will be followed by the discussion of its meaning in terms of usefulness.

The Pfair scheduling algorithm, which is an optimal scheduling algorithm in the hard real-time multiprocessor environments, propose the necessary and sufficient condition for the schedulability and is based on the fixed quantum size. Recently, several methods that determine the optimal quantum size dynamically were proposed in the mode change environments. But these methods considered only the case in which the period of a task is increased or decreased. In this paper, we also consider the case in which the execution time of a task is increased or decreased, and propose new methods that determine the optimal quantum size dynamically.

Recently, interest of a dual arm robot which can replace humans is increasing in order to improve the working environment and solve the labor shortage. Various studies related with design and analysis of dual-arm robots have been conducted because dual arm robots can have various kinematic configurations according to the objective task. It is necessary to evaluate the work performance according to various kinematic structures of the dual arm robot to maximize its effectiveness. In the paper, the performance analysis is studied according to the shoulder configuration and the wrist configuration of the dual-arm robot by using main performance indices such as manipulability, condition number, and minimum singular value by assigning proper weight values to each objective motion. Performance analysis for the robotic assembly process is effectively carried out for each representative dual arm robot configuration.

The present study examines how a cognitive attention affects Korean learners of English (L2) in perceiving the English stop voicing distinction (/d/-/t/). This study tested the effect of attentional distractor on primary and non-primary acoustic cues, focusing on the role of Voice Onset Time (VOT) and fundamental frequency (F0). Using the dual-task paradigm, 28 Korean adult learners of English participated in the stop identification task carried with (distractor) and without (no-distractor) arithmetic calculation. Results showed that when distracted, Korean learners' sensitivity to VOT decreased as priorly reported with native English speakers. Furthermore, as F0 is a primary cue for a L1 Korean stop laryngeal contrast, its role in L2 English voicing distinction was also affected by a distractor, without compensating for the reduced VOT sensitivity. These findings suggest that flexible use of multiple cues in L1 is not necessarily beneficial for L2 phonological processing when coping with a adverse listening condition.
