This paper addresses the problem of finding a small and coherent subset of points in a given data. This problem, sometimes referred to as one-class or set covering, requires to find a small-radius ball that covers as many data points as possible. It rises naturally in a wide range of applications, from finding gene-modules to extracting documents' topics, where many data points are irrelevant to the task at hand, or in applications where only positive examples are available. Most previous approaches to this problem focus on identifying and discarding a possible set of outliers. In this paper we adopt an opposite approach which directly aims to find a small set of coherently structured regions, by using a loss function that focuses on local properties of the data. We formalize the learning task as an optimization problem using the Information-Bottleneck principle. An algorithm to solve this optimization problem is then derived and analyzed. Experiments on gene expression data and a text document corpus demonstrate the merits of our approach.

This paper compares the performances of several algorithms that address the problem of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) for the case of very small, resource-limited robots. These robots have poor odometry and can typically only carry a single monocular camera. These algorithms do not make the typical SLAM assumption that metric distance/bearing information to landmarks is available. Instead, the robot registers a distinctive sensor "signature", based on its current location, which is used to match robot positions. The performances of a physics-inspired maximum likelihood (ML) estimator, the iterated form of the Extended Kalman Filter (IEKF), and a batch-processed linearized ML estimator are compared under various odometric noise models.
The success of stochastic algorithms is often due to their ability to effectively amplify the performance of search heuristics. This is certainly the case with stochastic sampling algorithms such as heuristic-biased s...

Smith predictor is a well-known method for compensating time delay in control systems. Therefore, it has been applied to many systems with time delay so far. However, delay time should be estimated precisely in this method. So, if time delay is fluctuant and unpredictable, like the communication delay over the Internet, performance of Smith predictor deteriorates. This paper proposes "Communication Disturbance Observer". It regards the error caused by time delay as disturbance torque (or acceleration), then it can observe and compensate the error. Furthermore, it doesn't need to estimate the value of delay time; therefore it can be applied to control systems with fluctuant and unpredictable time delay. It can be said that control system with "Communication Disturbance Observer" is robust to time delay and fluctuation of that. Effectiveness and robustness of proposed method is shown by result of simulation and experiment. In experiment, master-slave manipulator was used over the Internet. We were able to get the sense of touch from the environment of remote site.

Many successful robotic manipulator designs have been introduced. However, there remains the challenge of designing a manipulator that possesses the inherent safety characteristics necessary for human-centered robotics. In this paper, we present a new actuation approach that has the requisite characteristics for inherent safety while maintaining the performance expected of modern designs. By drastically reducing the effective impedance of the manipulator while maintaining high frequency torque capability, we show that the competing design requirements of performance and safety can be successfully integrated into a single manipulation system.

Taking Shanghai science and Technology Museum as the operation target, the robot named skycleaner which is totally actuated by pneumatic cylinders and is sucked to the glass walls with vacuum suckers is presented. In order to solve the problems of lower stiffness and the nonlinear movement characteristic of the pneumatic system, a method of segment and variable bang-bang controller is proposed to implement the accurate control of the position servo system using the principle of pneumatic pulse width-modulation (PWM). Testing results show that the controller can effectively improve the control quality. This implies that the method can meet the requirements of realization.
In this paper, we propose a new shape descriptor, which represents the 2-D shape information by using the concept of interrelation quadruplet. For this purpose, the polygonal approximation of 2-D shape is applied firs...

Since teleoperation systems are mostly executed in the extreme environment, there are constraints in designing the mechanism and choosing sensors. This paper presents a novel quantitative comparison method of teleoperators based on H/sub /spl infin// framework. The upper H/sub /spl infin// norm bound of the system including H/sub /spl infin// sub optimal controller is used as the performance index. As a case study, the method is applied to a real teleoperation system to study the effects of sensory configuration and back-drivability of the mechanism on the performance of the system in tasks, which involve different environment impedances. It can be important criteria to design a teleoperator from the control point of view.
