The effective operation of service robots relies on developmental programs that allow the robot to expand its knowledge about its dynamic operating environment. Motivation theories from neuroscience and neuropsychology study the underlying mechanisms that drive the engagement of biological creatures to certain activities, such as learning. This research uses a physical Willow Garage PR2 robot, which is equipped with a cumulative learning mechanism driven by the intrinsic motivation of novelty detection based on computational models of biological habituation. It cumulatively learns the 360° appearance of novel real-world objects by picking them up. This paper discusses the theoretical motivations and background information on intrinsic motivations as novelty detection. The results and conclusions from the experimental study are presented.

Abstract Properties of decompositions of multiport models are discussed. In particular, it is shown that the congruent canonical decomposition of multiport storage elements or multiport resistors that is based on Choleski factorization of their Jacobians can be causally inverted without generating algebraic loops and that an arbitrary number of ports of such a multiport may be dualized without generating essential gyrators in its decomposition. As a result, it is argued that the congruent canonical decomposition is a preferred decomposition, in particular from a computational point of view.

Our previous study successfully improved short term memory by individual alpha neurofeedback training. However, short term memory and its improvement in different languages are still not clear. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to evaluate the memory performance in alphabetic and ideographic language groups. Besides, the relationship between initial memory and its improvement was investigated. The results indicated short term memory in ideographic language was higher than those in alphabetic language and forward digit span improvement was positive related to its initial performance.

This paper addresses the problem of Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) for navigation systems equipped with sensors providing inertial measurements and vector observations. Two strategies are proposed. The first one takes advantage of existing hardware redundancy, providing sufficient conditions for the isolation of faults. The second approach exploits the analytical redundancy between the angular velocity measurements and the vector observations, by resorting to Set-Valued Observers (SVOs). The behavior of both strategies are illustrated in simulation.

A new control scheme for position-orientation tracking of underactuated quadrotor robotic vehicle is proposed. A quaternion-based sliding surface parametrizes the open-loop error equation of orientation dynamics, then a second order sliding mode (SOSM) is synthesized for global exponential stabilization of attitude coordinates along an orientation equilibrium manifold. This SOSM for any initial condition leads to a simplified design of a torque PD controller for position dynamics, for globally uniformly ultimately bounded of position trajectories. The SOSM reacts to the effect of the PD as if it were an endogenous persistent disturbance, which vanishes until it reaches its equilibrium position manifold. In contrast to other results that consider the full model without linearization nor further simplifications, our proposal yields a controller which is smooth and does not require the dynamic model. Since the parametrization of attitude representation is global, aggressive maneuvering capabilities are exhibited. Simulations are presented for a variety of flight regimes, including carry out helixes and loops at high angular velocities. Real-time experiments provide a glimpse of the closed-loop performance for a custom made quadrotor.

In this paper, we address the problem of designing a landmark-based control law that robustly globally asymptotically stabilizes a rigid body at a desired equilibrium point on the SE(3) manifold. Synergistic potential functions are combined within a hybrid systems framework to generate such a hybrid control law. The proposed control law is solely a function of vector measurements characterizing the position of some given landmarks. We provide sufficient conditions on the geometry of the landmarks to solve the given problem. Finally, the proposed solution is simulated and compared with an almost global continuous feedback control law.
