Chimera states are spatiotemporal patterns in which coherence and incoherence coexist. We observe the coexistence of synchronous (coherent) and desynchronous (incoherent) domains in a neuronal network. The network is ...

In this paper, we present the dynamical equations of a nonlinear adaptive natural oscillator (NANO) in order to exploit the natural dynamics in robotic systems. The presented oscillator tries to minimize an energy-based cost function by adapting the shape and frequency of the reference trajectory. Stability, convergence, and optimality of this oscillator are guaranteed analytically. Moreover, the performance of this oscillator is investigated by applying it to three different types of robotic models;i.e., the pendulum, the adaptive-toy, and the hopper-leg.

This paper presents an online self-tuning Smith Predictor for the First Order Plus Dead Time Model (FOPDT). It can tune time delay through oscillated input and output. Realtime phase difference detection is used to obtain the phase difference between the input and the output. An online tuner is used to minimize the phase difference. Once the phase difference is minimized, the exact time delay is completely compensated. Our method is suitable for both systems with constant time delay or variant time delay.

In this paper, we propose a new method for implementing a rotational nonlinear spring with user defined profile, based on the combination of a linear spring with a nonlinear transmission mechanism. The proposed structure consists of a non-circular cam, a roller which moves along outer circumference of the cam, and a stretched translational linear spring which is connected between center of the cam and center of the roller. We obtain a set of differential equations to design shape of the cam for any given torque-angle profile. Also, it will be shown that profiles with both positive and negative values can be implemented by the proposed method. At last, the cam of some popular nonlinear springs are designed, including constant, cubic, hyperbolic tangent and sinusoidal springs.

Astrocytes have potential to break synchrony between neurons. Authors＇ recent researches reveal that astrocytes vary the synchronization threshold and provide an appropriate feedback control in stabilizing neural activities. In this study, we propose an astrocyte-inspired controller for desynchronization of two coupled limit-cycle oscillators as a minimal network model. The design procedure consists of two parts. First, based on the astrocyte model, the structure of the dynamic controller is suggested. Then, to have an emcient controller, parameters of controller are tuned through an optimization algo- rithm. The proposed bio-inspired controller takes advantages of three important proper- ties： （1） the controller desynchronizes the oscillators without any undesirable effects （e.g. stopping, annihilating or starting divergent oscillations）; （2） it consumes little effort to preserve the desirable desynchronized state; and （3） the controller is robust with respect to parameters＇ variations. Simulation results reveal the ability of the proposed controller.

Scientific competitions are becoming more common in many research areas of artificial intelligence and robotics, since they provide a shared testbed for comparing different solutions and enable the exchange of research results. Moreover, they are interesting for general audiences and industries. Currently, many major research areas in artificial intelligence and robotics are organizing multiple-year competitions that are typically associated with scientific conferences. One important aspect of such competitions is that they are organized for many years. This introduces a temporal evolution that is interesting to analyze. However, the problem of evaluating a competition over many years remains unaddressed. We believe that this issue is critical to properly fuel changes over the years and measure the results of these decisions. Therefore, this article focuses on the analysis and the results of evolving competitions. In this article, we present the [email protected] competition, which is the largest worldwide competition for domestic service robots, and evaluate its progress over the past seven years. We show how the definition of a proper scoring system allows for desired functionalities to be related to tasks and how the resulting analysis fuels subsequent changes to achieve general and robust solutions implemented by the teams. Our results show not only the steadily increasing complexity of the tasks that [email protected] robots can solve but also the increased performance for all of the functionalities addressed in the competition. We believe that the methodology used in [email protected] for evaluating competition advances and for stimulating changes can be applied and extended to other robotic competitions as well as to multi-year research projects involving Artificial Intelligence and robotics.
