Achieving versatile and efficient walking on biped robots is an important research objective. The impact between the foot and the ground has significant effects on the walking stability of biped robots. Research on human walking indicates that the joints in human lower limbs show different stiffness values in different phases of walking. Inspired by humans, this paper presents the realization of biped robot walking with variable stiffness at the ankle joint. A walking control scheme which combines PD control and variable impedance control is designed for the biped robot. Results of dynamic walking simulation verified that variable stiffness at the ankle joint could contribute to the improvement of walking stability and energy efficiency.

In the virtual surgery system, the organ is always non-convex and deforms over time which makes the collision detection problem more difficult to handle. In this case, we put forward an innovative collision detection algorithm based on octree. This algorithm can perfectly apply to deal with non-convex organs and organ deformation scenario. In addition, it can achieve high run-time efficiency.

Image segmentation is the cornerstone of image analysis and image processing, its main difficulty is the ill-posedness of image segmentation. The region growing method is the most commonly used method in image segmentation. Its advantages are fast calculation speed, lower algorithm difficulty, and easy understanding. This article uses the area growing algorithm and TOF combined with binocular fusion technology. Discussed how to select the seed points in the region growing method. The algorithm proposed in this paper has high accuracy and high matching quality in the boundary area of the object and the area with large difference in depth. It has both matching time and reliability. It has good results and overcomes the limitations of the active and passive distance methods in the vision system.

High-precision localization performance of mobile robots in featureless environments plays an important role in the field of navigation. This paper describes an effective localization solution using a landmark whose surface is covered with two different materials resulting in different laser reflection intensities. Based on the landmark, a feature extraction algorithm is proposed and an improved scan matching method for mobile robot localization in featureless environments is described. Unlike traditional scan matching methods which only use geometric features, the proposed method mixes geometric information extracted from environment and laser reflection intensity extracted from the landmark to achieve accurate pose estimation. Experiments show that our method has higher precision than previous methods.

LED based positioning technology has recently become a popular choice due to the low cost, convenience for maintenance and strong adaptability to the environment. In this paper, we introduce an illuminance-distance analysis method with a rolling shutter camera, for a low-cost indoor positioning system to improve robustness in the case of insufficient LEDs. Firstly, the binary threshold method is used to decode the light signals. Then the gray value information of image is extracted to analyze the depth of LEDs, using the illuminance attenuation theorem. It provides potential solution to the position of devices with the camera by combining depth information, image and camera intrinsic. Our proposed method reduced the minimum number of LEDs observed by the camera from three to two, using only the camera. We evaluated the proposed method with real scene data and demonstrated the effectiveness of illumination-distance model based localization.

Industrial production systems are complex automated systems-of-systems. Especially in case of Industry 4.0 production systems, their design phase relies on parallel cooperative work of engineers coming from several disciplines. This paper identifies key engineering roles and their interactions in the design phase. Based on the analysis of shared information among engineers, this paper contributes to the specification of an information model of shared common concepts. Such an information model is useful for designing a central repository in production systemengineering projects as well as a basis for standardization processes and engineering tool evaluation. The roles and relevant information are based on lessons learned from the use case of an Industry 4.0 Testbed environment.
