With the drastically growth in optical communication technology, a lossless, low-crosstalk and multifunction optical switch is most desirable for large-scale photonic network. To realize such a switch, we have introduced the new architecture of optical switch that embedded many functions on single device. The asymmetrical architecture of OXADM consists of 3 parts;selective port, add/drop operation, and path routing. The unique features offered by OXADM has extended its application to Fiber to-the Home Technology (FTTH), here the OXADM is used as a wavelength management element in Optical Line Terminal (OLT). Each port is assigned specifically with the operating wavelengths and with the dynamic routing management to ensure no traffic combustion occurs in OLT. Protection and restoration mechanisms have been applied in backbone networks, but access networks are not considered significantly in the scope of survivability. Towards that, this paper describes our recent approach toward advanced customer access network through the development of an access control system (ACS). The ACS focuses on providing survivability through the OXADM restoration scheme against failure by means of dedicated and shared protection that is applied in FTTH-EPON. A next feature is the high speed restoration achieved by automatic re-routing using fiber status monitoring. Each OXADM has a node controller which receives reports on the status periodically from access control system (ACS). When a failure is detected, The ACS will send a command to the related OXADM to be activated. The proposed restoration system is the first in its kind which covers the survivability in the drop section of FTTH access network.

The purpose of this paper is to design and characterize the Multiplexer/Demultiplexer (Mux/Demux) which uses the concept of coupled mode theory. The design is based on cascading the wavelength selective coupler (WSC) devices utilizing commercial specification. The device is designed on silica substrate with compliance of FTTH wavelength such as wavelengths 1310 nm (upstream data/voice), 1480 nm (downstream data/voice), 1550 nm (video) and 1625 nm (testing). The proposal of designed Mux/Demux is used as a router for specific wavelength in order to detect any optical line failure in FTTH network application in which the OTDR launched wavelength (1625 nm) is used as troubleshooting signal. The performance of the devices was modeled using the beam propagation method (BPM-Cad) product from the Optiwave Inc. The device then is characterized in term of output power, insertion loss and true loss measurement.

The optical device model named Optical Cross Add and Drop Multiplexer (OXADM) uses the combined concepts of optical add/drop multiplexing and optical cross connect between two main transmission lines in order to implement the wavelength routing operation. The device can operate in point-to-point, ring or mesh network topology. In a ring metropolitan network, the OXADMs are located in the nodes, which provide functionalities such as transport, multiplexing, routing, supervision and survivability of client signals processed predominantly in optical domain. The objective of this paper is to analyze the OSNR for OXADM ring network with assumptions to determine the connections between each component in the network and the OSNR using Matlab. The analysis results can help in determining a better configuration of OXADM devices in a ring metropolitan network.

This paper proposes a common platform called automatic robot toolkit (ART), which offers a message stream dispatch mechanism and system development toolkit for robots. Composing a robotic system requires several heterogeneous components that are different hardware, algorithms and software. Each component is integrated into a well designed robotic system. Those systems are designed based on a particular system and it can be hard to have integration with or within other systems. Nowadays, robotics are more and more complex and intelligent. A common platform could be used to integrate those components according to the object concept. Therefore, the best way is to develop a common platform to integrate the already existing or developing techniques. The proposed common platform offers the message channels for each technique component to subscribe and publish the component's information. The common platform is designed based on the message oriented middleware (MOM) concept which effectively abstracts a multi-channel message transport layer to enable asynchronous exchange of data and event notification. Using this middleware toolkit, one can develop the control, identification, or intelligent algorithms without coding platform constraint.

This paper presents a novel method to implement an interactive mobile robot. The proposed mobile robot is implemented under the technique of mixed reality. The mixed reality technique is realized by both the Virtools tool and mobile robot. There are three basic interactive behaviors of human beings have been implemented on this proposed mobile robot. There are target navigation behavior, face tracking behavior, and obstacle avoidance behavior; the three behaviors are designed by the fuzzy rules method, respectively. These behaviors lead to the proposed path planning strategy possibly. On the other hand, a novel path planning strategy for a mobile robot is given in this paper. The path planning strategy is according to the experience that the mobile robot has been experienced in target navigation. Experiments show that the proposed behaviors are well designed. With the basic ability of the behaviors, the proposed robot can automatically learn from the previous navigation experience and can optimize the path planning.

This paper proposes an alternative docking charger station for mobile robots. One crucial task in swarm robots scenario is to find low battery robots and recover them. Overcoming this problem requires a versatile mobile charging station that is able to actively locate and charge inactive mobile robots unlike the conventional stationary docking stations. The mobile charger robot should perform independent tasks other than the swarm robots global task. It uses similar communication method with other swarm robots, however new preprogrammed instructions are required to facilitate battery charging task for swarm robots.
