All mobile robots suffer from odometry error. Relative localization from odometry has both the systematic and the non-systematic errors. However, once a precise system error model and its parameters are given, the accuracy of odometry can be remarkably improved. Most previous works on this effort focused on the differential drive robots with little attention to the other types of mobile bases. In this paper, we analyze sources of odometry error and propose an error model for the synchro drive robot. We then describe a novel procedure to accurately estimate the error parameters of the derived error model and the covariance matrix of the synchro drive robot. However, this procedure is general for all mobile bases, so we also apply our method for the differential drive robots and show experiments. This new process uses the shape of the path, as opposed to just end points, to estimate the error parameters and covariance matrix. We happen to use the generalized Voronoi graph to generate this path. Experimental results validate the error model of the synchro drive robot and precise estimation ability of the proposed method for the synchro and the differential drive robots.

In this paper a biped locomotor, named as WL-15 (Waseda Leg 15), is analyzed in terms of stiffness characteristics. Basic models and a formulation are proposed in order to deduce the stiffness matrix as a function of the most important design parameters of the WL-15 architecture. First numerical simulations and experimental tests are also carried out for stiffness performance estimation.

This paper presents a novel passive robot system with 6 DOF force/torque sensors for measuring spacesuit joint damping parameters. The principle is based on robotics (kinematics and statics). Firstly the models of a 3 DOF flexible IVA (intra vehicular activity) spacesuit arm and the passive robot have been built. And then, a new method of solving the inverse kinematics of the spacesuit is proposed. The simulation on the SGI workstation and experimental results prove the effectiveness of the measuring system is also discussed.
For any two n-th order polynomials a(s) and b(s), the Hurwitz stability of their convex combination is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a polynomial c(s) such that c(s)/a(s) and c(s)/b(s) are both strictl...

In this paper, an algorithm for hyper symmetric environment simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is developed based on the generalized Voronoi graph. The hyper symmetric environment is a challenging environment for the SLAM and the most difficult problem on this is a data association. To redeem this problem, we propose three techniques. The first one is a breadth first node navigation algorithm which highly reduces the complexity of the data association. The second scheme is an odometry calibration method which converts untrustable odometry into reliable one. The third method is a multi layered data association scheme. We integrate above three techniques into one framework and propose a SLAM algorithm for the hyper symmetric environment. The simulation result shows that the proposed algorithm can successfully cover a large hyper symmetric environment under 20% odometry uncertainty.

In this paper a non-linear fuzzy autopilot for ship track-keeping is presented. The proposed autopilot has four inputs (actual and desired heading, rate of change of heading and offset from the desired path) and one output (command rudder angle). The track-keeping problem is decomposed into two subtasks: (i) followthe desired heading, and (ii) bring the ship onto the desired path and keep tracking. Internally, the autopilot consists of two autopilots that fulfil these tasks simultaneously. The proposed control scheme has been verified using a non-linear model of a Mariner-class vessel and steering mechanism under the influence of wave and current disturbances. Results presented show how such a control strategy enables improved tracking performance.
