We propose an algorithm used to obtain the information on stride length, height difference, and direction based on user's intent during walking. For exoskeleton robots used to assist paraplegic patients' walking, this information is used to generate gait patterns by themselves in on-line. To obtain this information, we attach an inertial measurement unit(IMU) on crutches and apply an extended kalman filter-based error correction method to reduce the phenomena of drift due to bias of the IMU. The proposed method is verifed in real walking scenarios including walking, climbing up-stairs, and changing direction of walking with normal.

In a stand-Alone hydraulic power system for quadruped walking robot, the hydraulic flow consumption is an important parameter during walking. An inefficient large displacement of each angular joint motion caused by foot rotational trajectory without considering kinetic energy increases hydraulic flow consumption. And it requires the higher capacity of power system and it will be a burden on walking robot. In this paper, we proposes a redundancy resolution algorithm that minimized the hydraulic flow consumption for hydraulic actuated quadruped walking robot with redundancy resolution. And the performance of the proposed algorithm is tested using computer simulations.

Speech recognition based on only auditory information tends to be very susceptible to external noise. In this study, we investigated how visual information can be useful to improve speech recognition. We can guess a part of talking by an opponent from a shape of his/her mouth. Especially, information about vowels in opponent's talk is able to be sufficiently obtained from the lip shape. The information about an order of sequence of vowels which is found by analyzing the change of the lip shape can be used as an indicator to evaluate confidence for recognition based on an unclear voice. Using the longest common subsequence algorithm, comparison of the order of sequences of vowels resulted from the speech recognition based on voice and one from the lip reading based on version is helpful to improve confidence for the speech recognition. Studies to decrease error ratio of speech recognition allow magnifying application of a technique of speech recognition in a noisy environment.

This paper focuses on the behavior of tower crane installed in nuclear waste storage because it exhibits oscillations which the common industrial craned does not exhibit. It has double-pendulum motion in horizontal movement and with added oscillation it has simple-harmonic oscillation in vertical movement because of elasticity of crane cable hoisting heavy payload mass. Therefore, this paper focuses on input shaping command to reduce two mentioned oscillations which are hazardous to environment and operation. Simulations are performed and experiments are delivered using miniature crane.

This paper introduces the r-learning (robot-learning) system that utilizes robotic interactions to personalize instructions for individual children. A child who is not familiar with using an educational tool to study could learn readily from educational contents through various interactions with a robot which is based on the behavior control. The contents which are chosen according to a child's learning data extracted by analysis from human-robot interaction data could lift the educational effectiveness. An r-learning scenario is designed by using Petri net to handle exception occurred in a learning process. The robot contents maker and the Open API for operating a robot are described as management utilities for a personalized r-learning system.

This paper focuses on the collaborative swarm robot tasks. It is assumed that a robot cannot communicate with each other but a robot can localize itself accurately. In this paper, the objective of proposed algorithm is perfectly completing the given missions which require collaborative multi-robot tasks and is improving productivity. In addition, the proposed algorithm is applied to the stick-pulling problem which was first studied by A. Martinoli and F. Mondada. Last but not least, the probabilistic completeness is verified by simulation results handling homogeneous multi-robot.

In this paper, we present a visual compass based on the Unscented Kalman Filter Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (UKF SLAM) using a low-cost camera. The Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) based visual compass has been proposed. However, the output of the UKF is more accurate than the EKF for nonlinear systems like the visual compass. In this work, the UKF is applied to the visual compass to improve the accuracy of the output. The experiment results show that the proposed approach successfully performed.
