This paper presents a Lyapunov-based positioning controller for a macro-micro arm suppressing the bending vibration of the macro arm. On the basis of the distributed parameter model, the output feedback control law is constructed using Lyapunov method. The asymptotic stability on the neighborhood of the desired states of the closed-loop system is proved. The proposed controller consists of the PD feedback of the motor angle and a feedback of the bending strain at the tip of the macro arm. Some simulations are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

We propose a new concept in personal vehicles called the 'Personal riding-type wheeled Mobile Platform (PMP)' consisting of two wheels and a standing base for a human. The two wheels are driven independently, and traveling and steering is achieved by simply changing the relative position of the rider's center of gravity (COG) on the base. The vehicle has two merits: reducing the total weight of the simple structure and saving space by not using a steering unit. In this paper, the mechanism of the first prototype, PMP-1, is introduced and its posture stabilizing and running control methods are proposed. The effectiveness of the posture stabilization control methods is demonstrated in computer simulations and human riding experiments. In the running control method, maneuverability by movement of the rider's COG is also investigated experimentally. The results demonstrate that the posture of the rider can be maintained and the velocity of forward and backward traveling can be controlled according to the rider's intentions.

License plate recognition is very important in an automobile society. However, it is very difficult to do it, because a background and a car surface color can be similar to that of the license plate. Furthermore, detection of cars moving at a very high-speed is difficult to be done. We propose a new method to extract a car license plate automatically by using a genetic algorithm (GA). By using GA, the most likely plate colors are decided under various light conditions. First, the average brightness Y values of images are calculated. Next, relationship between the Y value and the most likely plate color thresholds (upper and lower bounds) are obtained by GA to estimate threshold equations by using the RLS algorithm. Finally, in order to show the effectiveness of the proposed method, we show simulation examples by using real images.

This paper surveys various implementation of a memory efficient second order (Broyden, Fletcher, Goldfard and Shanno) BFGS training algorithms which includes novel optimal memory (OM) BFGS neural network training algorithm, proposed by the present authors, which optimises performance in relation to available memory. Simulation results using a control benchmark problems show that OM BFGS, which is mathematically equivalent to full memory (FM) BFGS training when there are no constraints on memory, have performance gain compared to other memory efficient BFGS training algorithms.

This work investigates novel sequential learning methods applied on a decomposed form of training algorithms using radial basis function (RBF) network. The dynamic expansion of RBF network by adding neurons to the hidden layer during the course of training facilitates the weight update to be decomposed on neuron by neuron basis. The fast or minimal update approach which can be adopted with ease on a decomposed algorithms are also presented in This work.

This paper presents a novel sequential learning neural network implementation of action dependent adaptive critics. Sequential learning neural networks provide a systematic way of adding neurons in response to new data features as well as removing neurons which cease to contribute to the overall performance of the network. The convergence rate of the sequential learning method is enhanced by applying a modified Recursive Prediction Error algorithm to adjust network parameters. The new methodology, which provides a fully autonomous controller, is benchmarked against the conventional MLP neurocontroller on a highly nonlinear inverted pendulum system and shown to achieve superior perfonnance.

Recently,personal digital assistants like cellular phones are shifting to the IP *** encodingdecoding process utilized for transmitting over IP networks deteriorates the quality of the speech data. This deterioration causes degradation in speech recognition *** model adaptations could improve recognition performance. However,the current adaptation methods usually require a large amount of adaptation data.A novel adaptation method using speech synthesis based on HMM(Hidden Markov Model) is proposed. This method does not require speech data for adaptation because speech data is generated by spee-ch synthesis from the acoustic *** results on G.723.1 coded speech recognition show that the proposed method improves speech recognition performance.A relative improvement in word accuracy of approximately 2%was observed.
