Providing early mental health services during disaster is a great challenge in the disaster response phase. Lack of access to adequate mental-health professionals in the early stages of large-scale disasters dramatically influences the trend of a successful mental health aid. In this paper, a conceptual framework has been suggested for adopting cellphone-type tele-operated android robots in the early stages of disasters for providing the early mental health services for disaster survivors by developing a location-based and participatory approach. The techniques of enabling GI-services in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) environment were studied to overcome the limitations of current centralized services. Therefore, the aim of this research study is to add more flexibility and autonomy to GI web services (WMS, WFS, WPS, etc.) and alleviate to some degree the inherent limitations of these centralized systems. A P2P system Architecture is presented for the location-based service using minimalistic tele-operated android robots, and some key techniques of implementing this service using BestPeer were studied for developing this framework.

Anteflexion is essential for many physical activities ranging from carrying objects through snow shoveling to farm work. However, lumbago is a common cause of anteflexion, in which lumbar disks are under a heavy load due to changes in lumbar spine shape. With the aim to reduce lumbago risk, in this study we developed a motion sensor system that can estimate the shape, posture and load on the lumbar spine from measuring the lumbar in the lumbar region when the lumbar spine shape changes and the pelvis posture angle changes. We present a wearable version of this sensor system, and propose an estimation method of the lumbar shape using the pelvis posture angle and lumbar region skin curvature from this system. In addition, we measure the anteflexion using this system and study the change in load of the lumbar spine caused by changes in posture.

Wireless mesh networks (WMN) enable easy construction and management of wireless network environments. In WMNs, access points communicate wirelessly and establish routes to other access points autonomously. This technology is useful in serious situations, such as natural disasters, because access points do not require wired connections to establish appropriate communication routes. However, the communication of routing information consumes significant network bandwidth. We propose a new routing method for WMNs that is based on the relationships between access points. Simulation results show that the proposed routing method reduces the number of communication control packets generated by each access point.

This paper proposes a fuzzy-rule-embedded reduction image construction method for image enlargement. A fuzzy rule is generated by considering distribution of pixel value around a target pixel. The generated rule is embedded into the target pixel in a reduction image. The embedded fuzzy rule is used in a fuzzy inference to generate a highly magnified image from the reduction image. Experimental results, which scale factors are three and four, show that the proposed method realizes high-quality image enlargement in terms of both objective and subjective evaluations in comparison with conventional methods.

This paper presents a design method for a phase lag adjustment system using neural oscillators for a snake-like robot. The neural oscillator or central pattern generator (CPG), one of biomimetic behavior control system has attract attentions as we can see the similar rhythmical system in the natural creatures like fish swimming, bird flapping, etc, and these behaviors are considered to be optimized to their working environments. We found that the neural oscillator group had the possibility to adjust the robot behavior into working environment by using physical feedback signals from the working environment. The neural oscillator network adjusts their phase lag between neural oscillators to adapt their motor torques and trajectory to the working environment. In this paper, we present an phase lag auto-adjustment system using neural oscillator and its application into motion control of a snake-like robot, and the efficiency is evaluated through simulations and experiments using a 8-links snake robot.
