This paper presents the motivation, basis and a prototype implementation of an ethical adaptor capable of using a moral affective function, guilt, as a basis for altering a robot's ongoing behavior. While the research is illustrated in the context of the battlefield, the methods described are believed generalizable to other domains such as eldercare and are potentially extensible to a broader class of moral emotions, including compassion and empathy.
Potential fields have been widely used for mobile robot navigation and obstacle avoidance. Their success is due to two main reasons: the simplicity with which a path planning problem can be represented and solved and,...

The principles for the design of the Switched Reluctance motor drive based on the intelligent computational software package are presented by taking a three-phase 12/8 structure Switched Reluctance motor drive for the joint of the robot for example. The design could be done from the systematic point of view, considered the motor, the power converter and the control strategy as a whole. The Output equation relating to the relationship between the structure parameters and the electric loads is derived. The equation of the turn numbers of the phase winding is also advanced. The design procedure is given. Some interfaces of the intelligent computational software package at the condition of Windows 9X in English are given. The design is checked by the prototype. The accuracy is checked by the experimental measurement of the developed prototype. It is shown that the design has the advantages in practicality and high precision.

The ultimate goal of rehabilitation for the elderly and people with disabilities is not to recover their lost functions but to make them happy. Self-determination is most important for this purpose. For example, most tetraplegics want to be able to feed by themselves, because a satisfactory meal improves the quality of their lives. If computationalintelligence could perform the task perfectly as they pleased, it could make them happy. However, a simple tool without intelligence, operated by them, can realize a better quality of life than state-of-the-art imperfect computationalintelligence. Contrary to this, such individuals do not want to wash dishes by themselves. An automatic system with computationalintelligence would be useful in this case. It could affect people with mental problems positively or negatively according to the circumstances. computationalintelligence should only be used when it can improve the quality of their lives overall.

Multiple access interference and near-far effect cause the performance of the conventional single user detector in DS/CDMA systems to degrade. Due to high complexity of the optimum multiuser detector, suboptimal multiuser detectors with less complexity and reasonable performance have received considerable attention. In this paper we apply computationalintelligence techniques including proposed modified genetic algorithm and our analysis of multilayer perceptron neural network for multiuser detection of DS/CDMA signals. We compare their performance from different points of view such as computational complexity, implementation and error rate. We also compare their performance with the other detectors used in CDMA.
