This paper proposes a method for controlling posture of a robot manipulator by fuzzy voice commands. Human-friendly robotic system should be able to understand the fuzzy linguistic information based on the user's guidance and the environmental conditions. The contextual meaning of fuzzy linguistic information depends on the conditions of the environment. Therefore, the user's feedback is evaluated to understand the fuzzy linguistic information related to the posture movements. The primitive posture movements are evaluated by the behavior evaluation network (BEN). Feedback evaluation system (FES) is introduced to evaluate the user's feedback to correct the robot perception by adapting the BEN. The capability of evaluating fuzzy linguistic information based on the current context is enhanced. A selected set of posture movements are used to illustrate the system by using a PA-10 robot manipulator.

Level set method (LSM) is the efficient computation method for the interface capturing with corresponding of advection equation attend topological change of interface. LSM is consisted of the generation of signed distance function from initial interface and the convergence computation of the interface evolution for the target shape using the advection equation in conjunction with the mean curvature flow. We can get the image source from the actual object through the some kinds of distance measurement. The many measured points form the point cloud as the pointing sketch of a object surface. The precision surface model of the object requires that we extract the suitable interface for the purpose from the point cloud data. The extraction is one of image reconstruction. LSM is very useful method to extract the fine surface model from the point cloud data. However, the conventional LSM has some difficulties in the practical computing. In the long time computing, the distance function will be broken up without the frequent reinitialization of it. In this study, we proposed the new computation algorithm in which it is combined the LSM with the CIP scheme. The CIP presents very good performance to keep the shape profile in the advection computing. The obtained results are the various of examples of image reconstruction such as the convex sharp profile, the non-convex profile and the topological changing of profiles. We show the applicability and the effectiveness through the comparison of the CIP scheme with up-wind scheme.

In this paper, we present several considerations centered around the data-driven system approaches. We briefly explore three main issues: the evolving relationship between off-line and on-line data processing methods, the complementary relationship between the data-driven and model-based methods, and the perspectives of data-driven system approaches. Instead of offering solutions to data-driven system problems, which is impossible at the present level of knowledge and research, in this article we aim at categorizing and classifying open problems, exploring possible directions that may offer alternatives or potentials for the four key fields of interests: control, decision making, scheduling, and fault diagnosis.

Power-Assist for lower-limb is expected by many physically weak persons to assist their daily activities. It is important for the power-assist robots that the assist motion is generated based on users motion intention. This paper presents a muscle-model-oriented EMG-based (electromyogram-based) control method to activate a lower-limb power-assist robot according to the users motion intention since the EMG directly reflects the users muscle activities. In the proposed method, a matrix which expresses the relationship between the muscle activities and the generating joint torque is applied to estimate the users motion intention in real-time. The effectiveness of the proposed control method was evaluated by performing experiments.
