To resemble the appearance of human beings, humanoid robots should be designed with many DOFs, however, it increases the complexity of the mechanical design and the real-time control, which will make a high cost and have a poor reliability and will not fit for the application in museums or human's daily lives. In this paper, to enable the low cost and high reliability robot to interact with humans naturally and sever humans more friendly, we imported advanced technology of the Waseda's flute robot and retained the most important mechanical parts, such as the lip, lungs and the fingers for the flute playing, on this basis, some other mechanical structures were redesigned; particularly, the robot's appearance was carefully designed; in addition, we also redesigned the hardware structure using our own joint controllers and software system based on CAN bus communication for the cost saving and high reliability. The redesigned robot had just 16 DOFs. Preliminary performance test results showed that this new redesigned robot achieved in producing high quality of flute sound and high sound conversion efficiency, and the period of communication was about 4ms.

In recent years Compressed Sensing (CS) has drawn quite an amount of attention as novel digital signal sampling theory when the signal is sparse in some domain. However, signal recovery from compressed measurement data has always been challenging due to its implicit ill-posed nature. In this paper we will propose an improved CS image recovery algorithm by intra prediction method based on block-based CS image framework. The current block is firstly predicted by its neighbor pixels, and then its prediction residual is recovered. The performance of our proposed CS image recovery algorithm is superior to the traditional CS recovery algorithm because the sparsity level of prediction residual is higher than its original image block. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the traditional CS image recovery algorithm and achieve by far 2dB gain in PSNR. Copyright 2014 ACM.

Budget optimization is an important issue faced by advertisers in search auctions, and has significant impact on the design of various advertising strategies. Given a limited budget on a search market during a certain period, an advertiser has to distribute her budget to a series of sequential temporal slots (i.e., days, weeks, or months), during which advertisers must avoid the budget being used up quickly, so as to keep the budget for potential clicks with better performance in the future. Considering the optimal budgets over these temporal slots as fuzzy variables, we establish a two-stage fuzzy budget allocation model, and use particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to solve it in case when these optimal budgets are characterized by discrete fuzzy variables. We also conduct experiments to validate our model and algorithm. The experimental results show that our model can outperform other five budget allocation strategies in terms of reducing the revenue loss of the advertiser.

In this paper, decentralized filtering of multiagent systems with coupling uncertainties is proposed and investigated. The considered multi-agent system is composed of many agents, each of which evolves with a discrete-time stochastic linear time-varying dynamics, and every agent can be locally influenced by its neighbor agents. Therefore the states evolution of each agent is not only related with its previous states but also related with its neighbors' previous states in the linear dynamic system. Communication limitations existing in the considered multi-agent system restrict that each agent can only observe its own measurements (outputs) and its neighbor agents' outputs while the states are invisible to any agent. Because of communication limitations and information constraints, without knowing the coupling gains of the local interactions, it is not easy for each agent to estimate its states by traditional kalman filter or other state observers, which were extensively discussed in the literature. In this preliminary study, for the considered coupled linear discrete-time multiagent system with uncertain linear local couplings, based on the key idea of state augmentation and the certainty-equivalence principle borrowed from the area of adaptive control, we propose an efficient decentralized kalman filtering scheme, for each agent, to simultaneously estimate the unknown states and coupling parameters, and extensive simulations are conducted, which have clearly verified the effectiveness of the proposed decentralized filtering scheme.

This paper considers the distributed attitude synchronization problem for multiple spacecraft with external disturbances. Distributed discontinuous adaptive controller is designed based on the relative attitudes and angular velocities of neighboring spacecraft and attitude synchronization can be reached for any communication graph containing a directed spanning tree. To tackle the chattering effect caused by the discontinuous controller, a continuous controller is further proposed, under which both the synchronization errors and the adaptive gains are ultimately bounded. Extensions to the case with a leader-follower communication graph with the leader as the spanning tree's root are further studied.

This paper considers the distributed attitude tracking problem of multiple spacecraft with disturbances and unknown inertia matrices. Based on the relative attitudes and angular velocities of neighboring spacecraft, we design a distributed robust controller to each follower to guarantee that the attitude errors between the followers and the leader converge to zero for any communication graph containing a directed spanning tree with the leader as the root. To deal with the problem of parameters uncertainties, we further propose a distributed adaptive sliding mode controller, under which the system is globally robust with respect to external disturbances and inertia matrices uncertainties.
