In recent years, demand for efficient oceanographic research for the development of marine resources has been increasing on a global scale. In general, research and operation training on underwater robotics in the ocean is very costly, and the climate and conditions of the ocean may make it impossible to conduct experiments. In this paper, we introduce an ocean simulator using real oceanographic data that can avoid these issues. First, we treat Choreonoid which is an integrated software for robots applied by National Institute of advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), as the basis of the simulator software. Furthermore, to demonstrate its feasibility in a more realistic ocean environment, we introduce the seabed data obtained from oceanographic research and a function to reproduce ocean currents on the simulator. In this paper, self-localization experiment is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the simulator for oceanographic research.

The growing need for assistive and rehabilitative robots requires more understanding of interactions between the human and such robots. RoboWalk is one of such robotic assistive devices to help users in walking. One of the challenges in using RoboWalk is the horizontal component which undesirably appears besides the desirable assistive vertical force for weight compensation. This horizontal component can disrupt the user’s gait and cause discomfort and stability disturbances. This is due to the fact that the current design of RoboWalk does not allow for any displacement due to the singularity of the robot’s inverse kinematics. This paper proposes a few solutions to solve this problem in redesigning the motion mechanism. Analyses using Adams software show the effects of each solution on enhancing RoboWalk’s functionality. Obtained results reveal that the proposed solutions are feasible and have the potential to significantly improve the user experience.

Ornithopter’s research can be categorized into two parts. First, aerodynamics analysis of the flying robot including designing the body and choosing the robot’s material based on the analysis. Second, design and analysis of the mechanism which makes the wings move. So far, most of the researches has been focused on the first subject, i. e., aerodynamics analysis; even some books were published on this topic. However, there is little research about the mechanisms while most of the previous works are based on the patterns verified before. This paper will propose the design of a new spatial mechanism. Besides, three common planar mechanisms will be modeled and simulated to analyze and compare to the proposed mechanism in terms of aerodynamics forces for one wing beat cycle. These results reveal that the proposed 3D mechanism works more promising than others.

In this research, the issue of trajectory tracking in task space of a robotic arm with rotational joints has been solved. For this purpose, a non-model based controller the modified jacobian-transpose is used which it’s performance has been improved by reinforcement learning. Traditionally, the settings of the error thresholds for this controller will require trial and error, but in this algorithm, reinforcement learning is used to adjust these parameters online and according to the conditions. The simulations for the desired trajectory indicate that the improvement of the trajectory tracking achieved by using proposed algorithm. Also, the superiority of this controller in noisy conditions compared to the reference Jacobian transpose controller has been shown.

In this paper, a novel smooth magnetron is introduced to construct a fractional memristor Hopfield neural network(fractional order M-HNN). The local stability of equilibrium point are analyzed theoretically. Taking the memristor coupling strength coefficient and the fractional order as bifurcation parameters, the phase trajectory diagram, the bifurcation diagram of the system are drawn to analyze the influence on the dynamic behavior of the neural network. When the system parameters are fixed, the hyperchaos phenomenon of the fractional order M-HNN model is revealed. Finally, the PD controller is applied to the model to enhance the stability of the system.
An important issue in model-based control design is that an accurate dynamic model of the system is generally nonlinear, complex, and costly to obtain. This limits achievable control performance in practice. Gaussian ...

The issue of cost-sharing has been familiar since ancient times. Even today, it is used in various situations, such as cost-sharing for infrastructure development and contributions to neighborhood associations. Many methods have been proposed for the cost-sharing problem. One typical solution is the Shapley value. However, there are cases where the best solution cannot be obtained. In addition, if the solution is disadvantageous to the parties, there is a risk of dissatisfaction and failure to reach an agreement. On the other hand, gaming solutions are attracting attention. A mutually satisfactory solution can be obtained by gaming by solving the cost-sharing problem between the parties. Furthermore, better solutions than other methods have been derived. In this paper, we report on the optimal solution derived from the gaming results, its educational effects, and the results of a webinar on gaming in Finland and Japan.
