This paper presents the humanoid robot BARTHOC who has been developed to study human-robot interaction (HRI). The main focus of BARTHOC's design was to realize the expression and behavior of the robot to be as human-like as possible. This allows to apply the platform to manifold research and demonstration areas. With his human-like look and mimic possibilities, he differs from other platforms like ASIMO or QRIO, and enables experiments even close to Mori's 'uncanny valley'. The paper describes details of the mechanical and electrical design of BARTHOC together with its PC control interface. Through its humanoid appearance, it can imitate human behavior with its soft- and hardware. Currently, several components for HRI on a mobile robot platform are being ported to BARTHOC. Starting with these components, the robot's human-like appearance enables us to study embodied interaction and to explore theories of human intelligence.

This paper proposes a new kind of auto-climbing robot which is used for cleaning the spherical surface of the newly built National Grand Theatre in China. Firstly, an overview of the robotic system is given. Then for system design and control purposes, the climbing process is studied in detail. The force distribution of the front and rear supporting mechanisms is computed in a way that ensures the safety of the climbing process. After that, a new approach to path planning for wall-cleaning robots is presented considering the movement security, cleaning efficiency and the percentage of cleaning coverage. The successful on-site test confirms the principles described above and the robot's ability to work on a spherical surface

Testing plays an important role in the maintenance of component based software development. Test adequacy for component testing is one of the hardest issues for component testing. To tackle this problem, it is a natural idea to apply mutation testing, which is a fault-based testing method used for measuring test adequacy, for component contracts, whose aim is to improve the testability of the component. Though powerful, mutation testing is usually very computation-expensive, as many mutants need to be produced and executed in mutation testing. In this paper, we propose a contract-based mutation technique for testing components. Based on the discordance between contracts and specification, our approach employs a set of high level contract mutation operators. The experimental results show that these operators can greatly reduce the number of mutants compared with traditional mutation operators. At the same time, the contract-based mutation using our contract mutation operators can provide almost the same ability as that of using traditional mutation operators. Moreover, effective test suite can be produced to reduce the maintenance effort.

Cryptography as an ancient subject is endowed with new vigor by chaos theory. Cryptography protects the security of today's ubiquitous Internet communication, which as an open network is vulnerable to attack. In this paper, chaos-based cryptography is surveyed with focus on designing chaotic pseudo-random number generators (CPRNGs) for stream cipher and their chip implementation. The properties of the proposed CPRNG are analyzed.

This paper presents a novel neural network integrating both Gauss neural network and Chebyshev neural network. The Gauss-Chebyshev neural networks take advantages of the for local approximation ability, but the Chebyshev one for global generalization ability. Numerical experiments confirm the new strategy on the better performance in comparison with Gauss neural networks. Furthermore, under the same initialization conditions, Gauss-Chebyshev neural network is more efficient than Gauss-Sigmoid neural network for regression application. All eight functions tested from the experiments show the improvements of the proposed neural networks.
