The master-slave control is a technique often used when controlling a remote robot. In this technique, the operator can work while noticing the force which is added to the robot. However, when the taken time in the communication between the robot (the slave) and the operator (the master) is long, accurate control becomes difficult. This research aims to generate the force environment using the posture of the robot and the value detected with the sensor. With this, even if the communication time is long, the operator can operate the robot appropriately while he senses the force added to the robot.

Most of the mathematical methods to decide the time interval of inspection are established by reliability theory, but most of them are difficult to apply to practical plant machinery. In this paper, we propose a decision-making method for the inspection time interval for plant machinery maintenance by a genetic algorithm (GA) when the plant machines are preserved by time-based maintenance (TBM).

Fingerprint classification was introduced to reduce the searching time of fingerprint recognition. There have been many new approaches introduced, mostly in the design of feature extraction. However, no literature to date explicitly documents all fingerprint classification approaches. On the other hand, this paper studies some of the current approaches by grouping them into two groups-classifier, and feature extractor. A lot of emphasis put into the design of the fingerprint feature extractor shows that it deserves to be separated from the classifier. While it cannot be said that the development of the classifier has remained stagnant, there has been a lack of novel designs of the classifier, and a lot of research into neural network based classifiers.

How to construct a tele-manipulation system of a robot arm with both visual and haptic sensation is shown together with the experimental result. To move a robot arm at a slave system as an operator intends, he manipulates a force feedback device (PHANTOM) at a master system while watching a television image of the robot arm taken at the slave system. A force torque sensor (FTS: a force torque sensor and FT data: the output data of FTS) is mounted on a robot hand, and the output is conveyed to the PHANToM. This system gives a user the feeling as if he were directly operating the remote robot arm. However the following problems occur in operation. (1) The difference between the state of a robot and that indicated in a television (2) The delay caused the output of FTS to the PHANToM (3) It is difficult to synchronize the TV image with the force returned with a PHANToM. We propose two techniques to solve these problems, and show their effects in detail.

InterRobot is the speech driven embodied interaction robot which is developed for supporting human interaction and communication by generating the expressive actions and motions coherently related to human speech input. Talkers can share the context of communication by mutual embodied entrainment via InterRobot. This paper evaluates the proposed InterRobot interaction model. Then, the effectiveness of InterRobot expressive actions in interaction is demonstrated by the sensory evaluation of paired comparison under three conditions of simple nodding, multiple nodding and the whole body motion. Actual applications of InterRobot to human interface are also demonstrated for developing a new embodied communication industry.

The notion of an adjoint operator for a nonlinear mapping has few interpretations in the literature. In this paper a nonlinear Hilbert adjoint operator is proposed. It is shown to unite several existing concepts and provides an essential tool for singular value analysis of nonlinear Hankel operators.

The cellular neural network (CNN) has been widely used for associative memory. However, it has a problem called indeterminate cell. We describe this problem and propose the variable neighborhood CNN. As a result, we have been able to avoid the problem, and construct a more efficient CNN system for associative memory in simulation.

For high sensitivity measurements of isotope concentration-ratios of trace-level gas mixtures, particularly including carbon dioxide isotopes, we tested a /sup 12/CO/sub 2/-/sup 13/CO/sub 2/ composite laser system containing intracavity absorption-cells. Sensitivity enhancement obtainable by the intracavity modulation absorption-cell with synchronous detection scheme was examined theoretically. /sup 13/CO/sub 2/ in atmospheric air was readily detected and minimum detectable concentration by the present system was estimated to be 70 ppb.

We present several results on de Morgan algebras and Kleene algebras of fuzzy logic. The main results include (1) a necessary and sufficient condition for a de Morgan algebra to be a Kleene algebra, (2) equivalence of some expressions, (3) some properties about de Morgan algebras with sup W/sup +/ and inf W/sup -/, (4) some properties of the de Morgan algebras which satisfy certain special conditions, (5) a method to obtain all fixed points of a de Morgan algebra and (6) extensions of some theorems on complete de Morgan algebras that have fixed points to the general case.

An electromagnetic-type vibratory feeder of is a typical transportation device used in automatic weighers. As existing feeders are driven by feedforward control, the so-called "firing angle control", the driver cannot negate sudden disturbances. In this study, we consider applying a feedback control for such a feeder system. First, we give the two details of modelings for the vibration part and for the electromagnetic force part. Next, a feedback control system is constructed for the electromagnetic vibration feeder for which we propose a two-degrees-of-freedom proportional plus integral plus derivative (PID) controller with nonlinear elements. Next, we apply the feedback control to the feeder with a standard trough. Finally, we consider a method compatible with many varieties of troughs by adjusting a nonlinear element. On the basis of the results of some experiments, we confirm that the two-degrees-of-freedom PID control is more effective than the conventional firing angle control.
