The hybrid localization using Angle of Arrival (AOA) and Received Strength Signal Indicator (RSSI) of an RF source, such as a cell phone in a search and rescue mission, with unknown power and None Line Of Sight (NLOS) condition have been proven to be advantageous compared to using each method separately. The hybrid approach has been proposed to benefit from both RSSI and AOA measurements. In this paper, the initial hybrid method, which was implemented using particle filters due to the multi-modal/non-Gaussian nature of localization in NLOS condition, has been replaced by a multi-step Gaussian filtering approach which provides nearly similar accuracy with better performance. The proposed method has been implemented using extended Kalman filter and Unscented Kalman filter. The simulation results show that the multi-step Gaussian filtering is comparable to particle filter in all cases with better performance. For further evaluation, the effects of uncertainty in the propagation parameters have been studied to show the robustness of each filter to these uncertainties.

This paper presents a path planning approach of several UAVs for Radio Frequency (RF) source localization in None Line Of Sight (NLOS) propagation condition using the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). The paths are planned such that the lower bound of standard deviation of localization error, which is equivalent to the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) of the estimation, minimized at any time. Due to the complexity of Jacobin calculation to perform global CRLB optimization, the local values of CRLBs in the current waypoint and next probable waypoints are used in the steepest decent approach to determine the best path. Furthermore, the complexity is reduced by discretizing the space for UAVs to make the computation feasible. The effect of NLOS propagation on the RSSI measurements is simulated by a log-normal distribution and the last estimation of radio source location is used to calculate the local CRLBs. The proposed approach has been simulated and compared with the basic bio-inspired approach of going toward the sensed direction of the source. The result shows better performance than the basic approach.

The main point of this paper is to present a time domain strategy for drug dosage to treat psychiatric disorders. A time domain model of emotion is obtained from an extension of a recently developed fractional nonlinear dynamic model of happiness. First, the Fractional Optimal control law for incommensurate multi state systems is obtained. It will be then applied as an optimal drug administration procedure in the line of psychiatric disorders treatment. Results of this paper show that optimal control scheme is a proper approach to face the difficulties of analysis and control the incommensurate systems. It can be also clearly seen from the simulation results that this approach is very effective in the case that control methods are used as treatment techniques.

Spinal actuation is necessary for quadruped robots to achieve rapid leg locomotion. In this paper, effect of flexible spinal actuation on the bounding gait is investigated. By defining a performance criterion for the bounding gait, a quadruped robot (Ghostdog) is tested in four different case studies; namely rigid spine, flexible passive spine, actuated spine, and series elastic actuated spine. We show that the robot with a series elastic actuator in its spinal joint has the best performance criterion and is the best robot in terms of bounding power consumption. On the other hand, it is shown that by using spinal actuation not only the speed of locomotion increases considerably, but also the pattern of bounding becomes more similar to real fast felines.

Early detection of autism is crucial for successfully dealing with it and reduce/eliminate its effects. In other words, early treatment can make a big difference in the lives of many children with this disorder. Consequently, in this study the pattern recognition algorithms are used to determine the unique features of the voice of autistic children to distinguish between the autistic children and normal children between ages 2 and 3. These descriptors extract various audio features such as temporal features, energy features, harmonic features, perceptual and spectral features. Two feature selection methods are used and the results are compared. One method is based on comparing the effect of using all of a group features together and another method compares the effect of using features one by one. The selected features are used to classify selected children into autistic and non-autistic ones. The results show 96.17 percent accuracy. After feature selection, we classified data using S.V.M classifier for recognizing two types of input data.

We studied the effect of the control of an active spine versus a fixed spine, on a quadruped robot running in bound gait. Active spine supported actuation led to faster locomotion, with less foot sliding on the ground, and a higher stability to go straight forward. However, we did no observe an improvement of cost of transport of the spine-actuated, faster robot system compared to the rigid spine.

Teleoperation is a mechanism that makes it possible to accomplish a task in an environment where the presence of the master at the slave site is either undesirable or hardly possible The communication delay is a challenge with undesirable effects, jeopardizing the teleoperated systems the most. When the salve agent is performing in a dynamically changing environment, communication delay can be very harmful since the environment is changing continuously even though the agent has stopped operating because of the delay. Many studies have been conducted to overcome time delay effects.

In this paper a plagiarism detection framework is proposed based on coding style. Furthermore, the typical style-based approach is improved to better detect plagiarism in programming codes. The plagiarism detection is performed in two phases: in the first phase the main features representing a coding style are extracted. In the second phase the extracted features are used in three different modules to detect the plagiarized codes and to determine the giver and takers of the codes. The extracted features for each code developer are kept in a history log, i.e. a user profile as his/her style of coding, and would be used to determine the change in coding style. The user profile allows the system to detect if a code is truly developed by the claimed developer or it is written by another person, having another style. Furthermore, the user profile allows determining the code giver and code taker when two codes are similar by comparing the codes' styles with the style of the programmers. Also if a code is copied from the internet or developed by a third party, then the style of who claims the ownership of the code is normally less proficient in coding than the third party and can be detected. The difference between the style levels is done through the style level checker module in the proposed framework. The proposed framework has been implemented and tested and the results are compared to Moss which shows comparable performance in detecting plagiarized codes.
