An integrated system is proposed for the control of a mobile robot on both a local and global level. The local controller uses fuzzy reasoning and ultrasonic sensing to guide a mobile robot along a specific path segment, without physical guidance and without a priori knowledge of the path. It is able to steer the robot along straight segments and left/right turns, while avoiding collision with obstacles. The global controller uses a world map representation of the factory to plan the dispatching and the routing of the mobile robot.< >

We have implemented a real-time desktop conferencing system, where many users share applications along with voice data. One of its unique features is its user interface, named the virtual conference room. Each room, shown in a window on the PC monitor, represents a conference status, and each participant is represented as an animation character, called an agent. The conference management, such as floor passing, is executed through direct manipulation on agents. Voices are intermixed so that they reflect the positions and status of agents within the room. The virtual conference room has achieved features suitable for multi-user conferencing systems, such as visualization of the conference status, unified floor control and dynamic subgrouping of participants.< >

A coordinated multi-agent computation paradigm is proposed as a design tool of an intelligent robot system. A multi-agent programming paradigm and programming language, New Valid, is introduced. New Valid is designed as a tool for programming coordinated multi-agent computation systems. The coordinated computation paradigm is designed as a message flow programming system on the basis of a functional programming system. A history-sensitive computation feature, named agent, is introduced into a functional programming language, Valid. A model of mult-agent robot systems is proposed. The robot sytem is constructed as an ensemble of functions, each of which works as a coordinated independent agent through message communications. All sensory information put into robot is treated as messages. Several examples of multi-agent robot systems are shown.< >

In flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), the size of the control system software increases, and the relations of interdependence between the different subsystems multiply. The design of a FMS, by means of a conventional method becomes unmanageably complex. The object oriented design (OOD) methodology proposes to reduce the global complexity by modeling the real world through objects. OOD allows the development of reusable software components with open modular structures. The method proves efficient in industrial manufacturing requirements. It provides a satisfactory solution to the integration of alien components. The OOD methodology, object oriented programming and their respective features are introduced. Two experimental implementations are presented.< >

The path planning problem for intelligent mobile robots involves two main subproblems, i.e., the repesentation of task environment including obstacles and the development of a strategy to determine a collision-free route. New approaches are developed to solve these subproblems. The first subproblem is solved using the fuzzy system approach where obstacles are represented by fuzzy half planes. The other subproblem is overcome through the use of a strategy selector, which chooses the best strategy among a few, to be used for determination of a collision-free route. This approach is able to draw on the strengths of different strategies under different situations. Based on the fuzzy approach for world representation, two existing strategies are modified for the dynamic enviornment case. Simulation examples are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.< >

Expert systems and neural networks are new tools for the control of fermentation processes. With expert systems the fermentation plant and the process itself is modelled via a generalized, qualitative system description based on the experience of human experts. On the other hand neural networks and interpolating associative memories can learn the process behaviour directly by process observation. The paper at hand reports, how both control techniques can be combined for purposes like process supervision, modelling and optimization of biological plants.
