Roadmap methods were widely used in route planning fields, both for robots and unmanned aircrafts. Traditional roadmap is constituted by connecting the vertexes of convex obstacle, which is related to the locations of start and goal of route, so the roadmap can not be reused when anyone of start and goal changed. Absence of reusability reduces the efficiency of route planning by using roadmap. A new roadmap constitution method was proposed in this paper, which is build on dividing the 2D configuration space into multi-scale grids and setting nodes of roadmap on grid boundary using Level-Set method, same method was used to construct the map cells of roadmap between any two nodes lays on same grid. The roadmap constituted with new method can be reused when the start or goal was changed; it is efficient for replanning problem.

This paper presents a robust tracking algorithm for infrared objects in the image sequence, which is based on particle filer. Particle filter is a powerful tool for tracking especially in non-Gaussian condition, but the selection of samples is still a challenging problem. According to the frame-to-frame correlation, two basic assumptions are proposed. Borrowing the idea from Sequence Importance Sampling, Monte-Carlo method will be applied to solve the well-known shortcomings of Particle filter in this paper. Technologically, the proposed algorithm could also track multiple objects successfully. The experimental result has demonstrated its feasibility and validity.

To drive a single joint of rehabilitation robotic arm, we propose a new PM-TS actuator comprising a Pneumatic Muscle (PM) and a Torsion Spring (TS). Unlike the traditional agonist/antagonist PM actuator, the PM is arranged in appropriate place as agonist and the torsion spring provides opposing torque as antagonist in the proposed actuator. The 1-DOF and 2-DOF rehabilitation robotic arm models are derived considering the PM-TS dynamic model. To realize a high-accurate trajectory tracking control of the robotic arms, an intelligent PID controller based on an Echo State Neural Network (ESN) is proposed, where the ESN state is updated by the online Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of PM-TS actuators. The performance of RLS-ESN based PID controller is found more satisfactory than conventional PID controller in our study.

Randić et al. proposed a significant graphical representation for DNA sequences, which is very compact and avoids loss of information. In this paper, we build a fast algorithm for this graphical representation with time complexity O(n 2 ), and find another important advantage in the representation: no degeneracy. Moreover, we propose a new method to do similarity analysis of DNA sequences based on the representation. The approach adopts four elements of covariance matrix as a descriptor, and is illustrated on the first exon of beta-globin genes from 11 different species.

Joint flexibility is an important factor to consider in the robot control design if high performance is expected for the robot manipulators. Research works on control of rigid-link flexible-joint (RLFJ) robot in literature have assumed that the kinematics of the robot is known exactly. There have been few results that can deal with the kinematics uncertainty in RLFJ robot. In this paper, we propose an adaptive tracking control method which can deal with the kinematics uncertainty and uncertainties in both link and actuator dynamics of the RLFJ robot system. Nonlinear observers are designed to avoid accelerations measurement due to the fourth-order overall system dynamics. Asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system is shown and sufficient conditions are presented to guarantee the stability.

Active contours have been one of the most successful methods for image segmentation during the last two decades, but one of the shortcomings of being unable to converge to concavity is a handicap to its effectiveness. In order to address this issue, the gradient vector flow (GVF) was put forth. Although there have been a great number of works on GVF, the image structure has seldom been incorporated into GVF algorithm. In this work, the image structure characterized by the Hessian matrix is incorporated into the GVF algorithm by reformulating the smoothness constraint of GVF into matrix form. In this way, the associated diffusion PDEs are anisotropic and the modified GVF snake can converge to very long concavity and preserve weak edge simultaneously. Experiments and comparisons are presented to demonstrate the properties of the proposed strategies.

Shuffle operation on trajectories is useful in modeling parallel composition of words and languages. In this work, a new class of P systems with shuffle operation is presented. Such a system has language-objects and shuffle-operation rules in its regions. It can be used as a language generator; specifically it is used to generate languages from sets of languages. Some comparison results are obtained, which show that the power of shuffle operation is enlarged in the framework of P systems.

Randić et al. proposed a famous spectral graphical representation of DNA sequences, and claimed that it avoids loss of information. In this paper we build two mathematical models for this graphical representation and prove that the claim is correct, and that it also avoids degeneracy. Moreover, we propose a new method to do similarity analysis of DNA sequences based on the spectral representation. The method adopts M value to characterize a graphical representation and uses 24-component vector as descriptor. The approach is illustrated on the complete coding sequence of beta-globin genes from 7 different species.
