This research focuses on the electric wheelchair controlled by Human Body Motion Interface (HBMI). HBMI uses the body motion which is caused by the voluntary motion. From our previous research, it has been confirmed that HBMI, which uses the center of weight on the pressure sensor attached on the backrest, has the ability of an interface. However the problem has also remained. The velocities of each wheel have determined based on the error between initial and current position of center of weight. When user tries to stop the wheelchair, user has to rigorously return the center of weight to the initial position. Therefore, if a slight error remains on the center of weight, the wheelchair is not able to stop exactly. This paper absorbs ambiguous human motion, and proposes the control scheme to prevent miss operation of wheelchair caused by slight variation of the center of weight.

Real objects in general are fractional-order systems, although in some types of systems the order is very close to an integer order. Since major advances have been made in this area in the last decades, it is possible to consider also the real order of the dynamical systems by using fractional order of the differential equations. Such models are more adequate for the description of dynamical systems than integer-order models. Appropriate methods for the numerical calculations of fractional-order differential equations are needed. In this contribution we will compare some previous methods used for simulation purposes with the methods based on approximate formulas for numerical inversion of Laplace transforms. The verification and comparison will be based mainly on the accuracy and computing time which is very important e.g. in the tasks of simulation or identification using optimization methods where too many calculations are needed and faster methods can save time very significantly.

In many robotic manipulation tasks a robotic hand is used to just grasp and fix the object of interest while the object motion is performed by the arm. Motivated by the analysis on human grasping using data reduction techniques, we applied this concept to the DLR Hand II. Therefore, we analyzed the grasp database that was grown over the past years to find suitable robotic ¿synergy coordinates¿. 74% of these grasps can be represented by two coordinates that were originally defined by 12 joint variables. As a second step, a synergy impedance controller was derived and implemented extending the work on passivity based hand control at DLR. This controller for torque-controlled robot hands allows to imitate the behavior of a synergistic, respectively underactuated, hand. Such a controller provides furthermore a simplified interface for higher level grasping strategies and allows furthermore to manually teach new grasps easily. The controller was evaluated on the DLR Hand II by commanding steps that demonstrate the desired transient behavior. Finally, two objects were successfully grasped validating our approach.

This paper describes some techniques based on polygon aggregation in reducing time for visibility graph in case of many obstacles. In path planning, the approaches are commonly used such as search-based, sampling-based or combinatorial planning. And visibility graph is one of the roadmaps of combinatorial planning. Building a visibility graph is a main phase in the whole process and theoretically it takes θ(nlogn). However, with some practical applications, for example one which has a large number of obstacles, this phase is very time-consuming. With the techniques proposed, the experiment result shows that the computing time gets a reduction factor of one-third approximately when the aggregation are used in preprocessing of building visibility graph.

Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of proteins is a robust and reproducible technique. It is the most widely used separation tool in proteomics. Current efforts in the field are directed at development of tools for expanding the range of proteins accessible with two-dimensional gels. Proteomics was built around the two-dimensional gel. The idea that multiple proteins can be analyzed in parallel grew from two-dimensional gel maps. Proteomics researchers needed to identify interested protein spots by examining the gel. This is time consuming, labor extensive and error prone. It is desired that the computer can analyze the proteins automatically by first detecting then quantifying the protein spots in the 2-D gel images. In our previous work, we presented a new technique for segmentation of 2-D gel images using the fuzzy c-means algorithm using the notion of fuzzy relations. In this paper, we will describe the new relational fuzzy c-means algorithm (RFCM) and use it for automatic protein spots quantification. We will also use two methods to evaluate its performance: the unsupervised evaluation method and comparison with the expert spots quantification.

This work presents the co-simulation approach to the analysis of control systems containing detailed models of electromagnetic and electromechanical converters. In this method of analysis the attention is paid to the whole system and not only to its electromagnetic part. The latter is described by equations resulted from the two-dimensional finite element discretisation of the Maxwell equations, and is coupled weakly with the remaining part of the system. The simulation is carried out in Matlab/Simulink environment wherein the coupling is realised through the S-function. Example results regarding simulation of the operation of the control system of an electrical machine and the operation of a power electronic converter are presented and compared with available reference data.
