This paper presents an effective force control method in which a fuzzy-neuro force controller is automatically adjusted in accordance with the unknown dynamics of an environment using a neural network. The adjustment strategy of the fuzzy-neural force controller, according to the environment dynamics, is automatically generated by the neural network in off-line manner using genetic algorithms with fuzzy evaluation. The effectiveness of the proposed force controller is evaluated by computer simulation with a 3-DOF planar robot manipulator model.

This paper discusses speech recognition based on a new statistical phoneme segment model which is trained by phoneme parameters derived from automatically extracted phoneme segments. The proposed system operates as follows. In preprocessing before recognition, the phoneme boundaries are detected by segmentation. The phonemes are discriminated using a stochastic phoneme segment model, and a phoneme segment lattice with scores is constructed. Next the speech recognition is performed by matching of symbol sequences to dictionary items. The segmentation system that is employed can infer phoneme boundaries with high accuracy. This helps to eliminate unnecessary parameters, leaving the feature parameters which are effective in separating phonemes. In other words, the phoneme recognition problem in continuous speech can be reduced to a discrimination problem and thus a speaker-independent model can be constructed from a relatively small number of training data. The stochastic phoneme segment model is trained with training samples extracted from a phoneme-balanced word set of 4920 words uttered by 10 speakers. In a recognition experiment with 6709 words uttered by 63 nontraining speakers, a recognition rate of 92.6% was obtained as the average for all speakers, using a word dictionary of 212 words.

We are stepping into an aging society rapidly. In that society, it is important that physically weak people are able to take care of themselves. In this paper, we introduce a 1DOF exoskeletal robot to support the elbow motion of physically weak people. Fuzzy control has been applied to control the exoskeletal robot system based on vague biological signals that reflect the human subject's intention. Skin surface electromyogram (EMG) signals and the generated force by the human subject's wrist during the human elbow motion have been used as input information of the fuzzy controller.

This paper describes a design of an associative memory array processor that can be used in the acquisition and processing of ultrasonograph images. The major concept is to design a parallel architecture that reduces task's execution time by analyzing multiple parts of the image concurrently. The architecture constitutes a distinctive type of single-instruction stream, multiple-data stream machine that is built around content-addressable associative memory slabs, that allow parallel access of multiple memory words. The basic building block of this architecture is a one-pixel processing element, which can perform the standard load (data acquisition) function and also contains some special comparison logic to enable its content to be compared with an external data. Several image processing operations are implemented in parallel, among them: component labeling, size filtering, pattern centralization, and pattern recognition. The proposed novel architecture can label specific regions into the image and isolate them intelligently. It is also capable of storing templates that may be considered as references for similar cases. The system is able to perform learning process and extract features from several input patterns and store the reference pattern in a slice. Moreover, the system is capable of comparing an input image with a pre-stored template during recognition process. The proposed architecture is of interest because it speeds up the recognition process and helps radiology specialists to write their reports confidently.

Proposes a texture modelling method based on the pattern spectrum. The pattern spectrum is a mathematical morphological method to describe the size distribution of objects contained in an image. Our method is based on the idea of obtaining a model of the elementary particles that form a texture by optimizing a gray scale structuring element to fit the shape of elementary particles. The optimization method is applied in two stages: the first stage optimizes the extent of the structuring element and the second optimizes the pixel values in the extent.

In this paper, we propose a direct torque control method for the prosthetic hand. In order to estimate the joint torque from EMG signals, an artificial neural network by the feedback error learning schema is used. 2-DOF motions, i.e. hand grasping/opening and arm flexion/extension, are picked up. In the experiments, two measurement conditions of EMG signal are prepared: the forearm from which the EMG signal is measured is free or fixed. Then it is verified that the neural network can learn the relation between the EMG signal and the joint torque under these two measurement conditions.

An impedance model following force control, using a position/orientation compensator based on joystick taught data, is proposed for an industrial robot with an open architecture controller. The method is characterized by two requirements: 1) to polish an object with the desired contact force and orientation; and 2) no conventional complicated teaching process is required. The effectiveness and potential of the proposed method are demonstrated through some experiments concerning with a polishing task using the JS-10 industrial robot.
