The relationship is investigated between test data compression and power dissipation during scan testing. It is shown how combining a proposed symmetric coding scheme and a weighted scan latch reordering (W-SLR) algorithm allows efficient exploration of the scan power and test data compression solution space. This is achieved by reducing and balancing the transition activity in the scan-in and scan-out sequences. This will impact the test data compression, which depends only on the scan-in sequence, and the overall scan power dissipation, which depends on the scan-in and scan-out sequences. Trade-off analysis using ISCAS89 benchmark circuits shows that, by employing the proposed symmetric coding scheme and varying a weighting parameter in the W-SLR algorithm, the embedded core designer can easily and explicitly control the scan power and volume of test data. The proposed asymmetric/symmetric code transformation is equally applicable to (and thus it maintains its benefits) any asymmetric 'run length' coding scheme.

Many disabled people do not have the dexterity necessary to use a joystick or other hand interface for controlling a standard robotic wheelchair. In many cases, they suffer from diseases which have damaged most of the nervous and muscular system in their body, but leave the brain and eye movement unimpaired. To this end, we developed an interface which enables the user to guide a robotic wheelchair by eye-gaze, using a minimal number of electrodes attached on the head. The device can measure the electro-oculographic potential of the eye-gaze movement together with the electromyographic signals from the jaw muscle motion. By coupling these simple actions, one is able to navigate a wheelchair solely by the eye and jaw movements, which provides an aid to mobility for severely disable people.

In practice, the environments in which mobile robots operate are usually modeled in highly complex geometric representations, and as a result real-time autonomous navigation can be difficult. Such difficulty is even exacerbated for robots with limited but more realistic on-board computational resources since this paradigm of environmental modeling requires enormous computational power. Inspired from human daily life experience, we propose in this paper a new direction for practical robotics navigation system with locally sensed non-geometric environmental modeling. With human-guided demonstrations, the robot can learn and abstract human navigational skill in the form of reactive sensor-motor mapping to navigate in the demonstrated route with simultaneous obstacle avoidance, localization, path and trajectory planning. Learning in a cascade neural network with node-decoupled extended Kalman filtering is adopted as the basis for such reactive mapping. Preliminarily experimental results show the feasibility of this practical approach.

A method that supports distribution of multibody dynamic analysis is proposed and developed. Ethnographic methods are used as a means for gaining a deeper understanding of the engineering analysis work practice, and the findings form the base for a cooperative design of the system. The concept of design rationale is applied in order to deal with current problems of engineering analysis, such as irrelevant input and output, as well as satisfying the need for useful, real-time feedback. The web based simulation environment, applied to vehicle system dynamics, contains the simulation packages ADAMS and MATLAB and incorporates database technology. The possibility to distribute simulation models and results, from simulation experts to design experts and engineers, as well as subcontractors, is created. The proposed method requires changes in the existing multibody dynamic simulation methodology regarding aspects of incorporation in product development theories.
