Accurate position estimation is very essential for successful operation of any autonomous .mobile robots. Generally, Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is used to fuse multiple low cost sensor information for better position estimation of mobile robots. However, due to the first-order approximation while performing linearization of the nonlinear model in the EKF, it will introduce large estimation errors over the time. In order to reduce the significant estimation errors, the Particle Filter (PF) is presently used as a modern sensor fusion methodology applied to mobile robotics due to its generic nature to tackle uncertainty & nonlinearity. This paper illustrates application of Particle Filtering Technique for reliable estimation of the state vector of a mobile robot in association with proprioceptive (Odometry) and exteroceptive (Laser Range Finder) sensors for efficient control. The paper also presents a comparison of the performance of the EKF & PF techniques for the estimation of the states & control of the mobile robot and establishes the superiority of PF over EKF.

This paper proposes a new approach for an estimation of user's intention using Self-Organizing Map (SOM), ontology, and Petri-net. In order to construct the intention estimator, the ontology and Petri-net are used to classify the operational intention. The SOM technique is used to form the relation between the intention modes and operational state. A kind of knowledge data base of user's intention was constructed by using the ontology, and the knowledge was utilized to build a task scenario. By using the Petri-net model, an event-driven scenario of the task is constructed and is utilized to improve the SOM. An experiment using a virtual transportation task simulator to verify the presented approach was performed, and the user's intention during the machine manipulation was estimated from the time-series data which was obtained through the experiment. Comparing the estimated intention with the other one extracted by human analysis, the effectiveness of the estimator was analyzed.

The chameleon-like robot is a new designed robot especially for working in space station environment. While working in this environment, the robot can work in planar configurations. This paper focuses on the workspace determination of this chameleon-like robot with its planar configurations. For this purpose, a geometric approach is used. Formulations and an algorithm have been outlined and implemented for generation and computation of the workspace. Several numerical examples are presented with different design parameters for analyzing the operation performance of this chameleon-like robot.

The challenge of markerless human motion tracking is the high dimensionality of the search space. Thus, efficient exploration in the search space is of great significance. In this paper, a motion capturing algorithm is proposed for upper body motion tracking. The proposed system tracks human motion based on monocular silhouette-matching, and it is built on the top of a hierarchical particle filter, within which a novel deterministic resampling strategy (DRS) is applied. The proposed system is evaluated quantitatively with the ground truth data measured by an inertial sensor system. In addition, we compare the DRS with the stratified resampling strategy (SRS). It is shown in experiments that DRS outperforms SRS with the same amount of particles. Moreover, a new 3D articulated human upper body model with the name 3D cardbox model is created and is proven to work successfully for motion tracking. Experiments show that the proposed system can robustly track upper body motion without self-occlusion. Motions towards the camera can also be well tracked.

The objective of this study is to show the applications of the simulation implementation of QNX identified model combining with Matlab/Simulink platform, QNX C/C++ compiler and QNX real-time operating system. The HIT/DLR Hand II dexterous hand QNX real-time simulation model is generated by the Simulink platform and QNX C/C++ compiler link files. Moreover, this model can be implemented in the QNX real-time system. Simulations in the QNX real-time system show that the HIT/DLR Hand II dexterous hand QNX model which based on the methods in this research, was able to offer an attractive performance during both real-time simulation and feedback operations.

For supporting daily activities of elderly and physically disabled people who have lost their body functioning of motions, we have developed a 7-DOF robotic exoskeleton system. It is intended to assist the motions of shoulder and elbow by mounting this on a wheel chair since human shoulder and elbow motions are involved in a lot of activities of everyday life. The proposed mechanism can maximize workspace while escaping singularity by combining the parallel mechanism at the wrist part. Admittance based velocity control scheme enables a variety of tasks to be implemented and allows us to achieve fast enough motion with acceptable accuracy. Preliminary results for mechanism analysis, trajectory tracking experiment are shown.
