The paper develops an adaptive particle swarm optimization(PSO) based on its simplification. With the hope to prompt its global optimization performance, the improved menthod introduces a PD controller into the architecture of the standard PSO(SPSO-PD). The PD controller can control the particle dynamics, and prompt the particles to respond to the change of their exemplars correctly and rapidly, further to surpass the limit of their exemplars with more chances, which greatly contributes to a successful global search. The proposed SPSO-PD was applied to some well-known benchmarks and compared with the standard PSO. The relative experimental results show SPSO-PD performs better than SPSO on the complex optimization functions.

This paper presents the components and overall architecture of the ubiquitous robot (Ubibot) system developed to demonstrate ubiquitous robotics, a new paradigm for integrated services. The system has been developed on the basis of the definition of the ubiquitous robot as that of encompassing the software robot Sobot, embedded robot Embot and the mobile robot Mobot. This tripartite partition, which independently manifests intelligence, perception and action, enables the abstraction of intelligence through the standardization of sensory data and motor or action commands. The Ubibot system itself is introduced along with its component subsystems of Embots, the position Embot, vision Embot and sound Embot, the Mobots of Mybot and HSR, the Sobot, Rity, a virtual pet modeled as an artificial creature, and finally the middleware which seamlessly enables interconnection between other components. Three kinds of experiments are devised to demonstrate the fundamental features, of calm sensing, context awareness and seamless service transcending the spatial limitations in the abilities of earlier generation personal robots. The experiments demonstrate the proof of concept of this powerful new paradigm which shows great promise.

Hydrocarbon microseepage theory establishes a cause-and-effect relation between oil and gas reservoirs and special surface anomalies, mainly including surface hydrocarbons and related mineral alterations. Thus, diagnostic spectral features of hydrocarbons and mineral alterations are capable of providing reliable evidences for the oil and gas exploration. In the paper, the integrated practical system of exploring for oil, gas is introduced by using reflectance spectroscopy and hydrocarbon microseepage theory. This system is applied to processing and analyzing not only hyperspectral remote sensing data but also the data provided by field work. Furthermore, great efforts are focused on spectral model of hydrocarbon microseepage and Hyperion data classification algorithms. In our work, two exploration targets of natural gas are identified from the study area which covers 2100 km 2 . All the two exploration targets have been proven industrial reserves by China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) in July 2006.

In this paper, we extend the observer/control strategies previously published in [25] to an n -link, serially connected, direct drive, rigid link, revolute robot operating in the presence of nonlinear friction effects modeled by the Lu-Gre model. In addition, we also present a new adaptive control technique for compensating for the nonlinear parameterizable Stribeck effects. Specifically, an adaptive observer/controller scheme is developed which contains a feedforward approximation of the Stribeck effects. This feedforward approximation is used in a composite controller/observer strategy which forces the average square integral of the position tracking error to an arbitrarily small value. Experimental results are included to illustrate the performance of the proposed controllers.

Based on the standpoint to take for the crack size also to be a damage variable like the damage variable, by means of the two-directions coordinate system, several new calculation equations on the small crack growth rate are suggested for describing the elastic-plastic behavior of some metallic materials. And the estimation formulas of life are also suggested relative to varied small crack size at each loading history, which is unsymmetric cyclic loading. In the calculation method, as a loaded stress-strain parameter to adopt the ratio with plastic strain range to elastic strain range, and as the material constants using the typical material parameters in damage calculation expression, a new concept of the compositive material constant, which has functional relation with the typical material constants, average stress, average strain, critical loading time is given out. In addition, the fatigue damage of a part of car is put up to calculate as an example, its calculation results are accordant with the Landgraf's equation, and calculation precision is more rigorous, so could avoid unnecessary fatigue tests and will be of practical significance on saving times, manpower and capitals, as well as the convenience for engineeringapplications.
