In this paper, stability of continuous-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems is investigated by means of a new fuzzy Lyapunov function which depends on the first-order time-derivative of the fuzzy weighting functions (TDFWF). As a result, both the first and second-order TDFWF appear in the Lyapunov inequality and the stability condition. The additional dependence on the second-order TDFWF makes it possible to reduce the conservativeness of the previous result. The stability condition is formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The effectiveness of the proposed analysis approach is demonstrated by numerical examples.

This paper proposes design and control methods for a bridge inspection robot system. A "bridge inspection robot" has been developed with the aim of checking the safety status of a real bridge, gathering accurate data and performing maintenance. The developed robot system is composed of the specially designed car for bridge inspection, the guide rail and the inspection robot. Especially, this paper emphasizes the system integration method to design and control the entire robot system. As a result, this robot has both automatic and manual modes for inspecting a real bridge. In other words, the robot is automatically able to inspect beneath the bridges and manually to inspect them by long-distance user. Also, the users can see the operating conditions of long-distance robot with 3-dimensional graphical user interface. Moreover, the users can feel the operating status of long-distance robot through haptic device.

In this paper, we propose the intelligent surveillance system using network cameras. To do this, we use two Internet Protocol (IP) cameras, which are installed at the inside and the outside of the restricted area. First of all, the external camera is used to monitor a potential intruder entering the restricted area in real time. To detect the potential intruder from sequential images obtained by external IP camera, we propose the robust algorithm combining the background modeling, the hybrid silhouette, the convex summation, the morphology and the smoothing. Once the intruder is detected by the external camera, the internal camera with pan-tilt mechanism is then activated and starts tracking the intruder and monitoring the prescribed valuables registered with some feature points in the database. To track the intruder, we propose the tracking algorithm using the background elimination and the histogram. And then, we completes the proposed surveillance system by using the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorithm in order to monitor whether the intruder steals the prescribed valuables or not. Finally, we have shown the effectiveness and the applicability of the proposed method through experiments.

This paper considers the coordinated welding control based on deep multi-agent reinforcement *** discrete-time states and actions with local observation for the welding robots and the characteristics of the weld lines(e.g.,the starting points of the weld lines and the ending points of the weld lines) are defined,which is suitable to use the monotonic value function factorisation for deep multi-agent reinforcement learning(QMIX) algorithm.A novel reward composed of trajectory optimization,collision avoidance and the task done is designed,which is proved by the simulation in the grid-world environment.

The objective of this paper is to describe a new design of a trans-oral surgical robot. The trans-oral robotic surgery system consists of a master device and a slave device. Specifically, the concept of stackable mechanism is applied to design both master and slave devices. Using the stackable architecture, counter-balancing can be achieved over the whole workspace and compact design can be made by locating all motors at the base of the robot. Through simulation, the performance of the trans-oral surgical robot is verified.

This work introduces a new endoscope robot system for general sinus surgery. The proposed endoscope can be bent in accordance with a user's intension at the time of inserting the endoscope into the sinus area, and it was designed to be bent up to 180 degrees and its diameter is about 4mm. The design of the proposed endoscope uses a spring backbone, which allows flexibility of the mechanism. A design method to determine design parameters for this device is proposed. The performance of the proposed system is verified by integration of the robot device and simulator.
