In this paper, we devise a controller that achieves global uniform exponential stabilization of linear systems while avoiding singular input constraints, that is, the proposed controller never crosses a given input value g. We show that it is possible to solve this problem using two linear controllers and an appropriate switching logic, which leads to a hybrid controller.

In this paper, we present a N200 model for control of a humanoid robot with mind. N200 is a major component of the motion visual evoked potential (mVEP) which can be used to detect the subject's intention. In order to acquire N200, we design a visual stimulus interface in which the activation of a stimulus is a bar scanning above the image of a humanoid robot behavior. By analyzing brain signals induced by this kind of stimulus and calculating some system indexes, the results of this study demonstrate that the designed interface can induce prominent N200 potentials, and another component P300 induced by this experiment can be considered as another characteristic of the feature vector to contribute to the classification. To our best knowledge, this paper would be the first report on an application of N200 model to control a humanoid robot with visual feedback in real time.

The present paper describes exploratory work in which a Sparse Distributed Memory (SDM) was applied as a text classifier. The SDM is a type of associative memory based on the properties of high-dimensional spaces, where data are stored based on pattern similarity. The results obtained with the SDM are surprisingly good, for they can be achieved with little or none pre-processing. They are far superior to the performance of a "dumb classifier," though still inferior to the results obtained with other modern methods.

This paper addresses the problem of keeping an autonomous marine vehicle in a moving triangular formation by regulating its position with respect to two leader vehicles. The follower vehicle has no prior knowledge of the path described by the leaders but has access to their heading angle and is able to measure inter-vehicle ranges. It is assumed that the distance between the leaders is constant and known. A control strategy is adopted that generates speed and heading commands so as to drive suitably defined along track and cross track errors to zero. The commands are used as input to local inner loops for yaw and speed control. The paper describes the algorithms derived for range-based control and assesses their performance in simulations using realistic models of the vehicles involved. Tests with three autonomous marine vehicles equipped with acoustic modems and ranging devices allow for the evaluation of the performance of the algorithms in a real-world situation.

This paper proposes a new interaction mechanism for tele-operating a mobile robot. The approach explores the notion of telepresence and physical embodiment to create what may be called tele-embodiment. Its principle is that the operator will see himself at the remote site and this will enable him/her to better operate the robot. Four interaction styles were experimentally compared, from the traditional joystick approaches to more innovative based on natural body posture intentions. The environment perception is provided by the visual feedback, according to head pose behaviour. The results show that the gesture and body based methods improves the user dexterity performing this kind of task. Moreover, the present study suggests that, when a person is focused on the task, achieving the ownership illusion towards remote body, there are autonomic responses that correspond to what would be expected in events that take place in reality (like avoiding collisions).
In the context of mobile robotics, it is crucial for the robot to have a consistent representation of the surrounding area. However, common grid maps used in robotics do not provide any evidence as to connectivity, ma...

This work addresses the development of a new handheld explosive sensor based on the AFP (Amplified Fluorescent Polymer) Technology. The polymer is the PF2T Ethyl Cellulose, a blue fluorescent polymer whose fluorescence is attenuated with the presence of nitroaromatics, like the vapours typically released by common explosives. We intend to contribute to the state of the art in the field of landmine odour vapour detection, by developing a simple, economic, portable, highly sensitive and easily calibrated explosives sensor. Preliminary testing results with nitrobenzene show the sensor's ability to detect the presence of that vapour in concentrations much lower than the ones corresponding to its vapour pressure.
