Ever since the concept of swarm intelligence was brought out, a variety of control algorithms for swarm robotics has been put forward, and many of these algorithms are stable enough and efficient. Most of the researches only take an invariable controller which functions through the whole stage into consideration, the situation in which controller changes over time is rarely taken into account. However, there are limitations for invariable controller dominated algorithms in practical situation,which makes them unable to meet changing environment. On the contrary, variable controller is more flexible and can be able to adapt to complex environment. Considering such advantages,a time-varying algorithm for swarm robotics is presented in this paper. The algorithm takes time as one of the independent variables so that the controller is no longer fixed through the time,but can be changed over time, which brings more choices for the swarm robot system. In this paper, some relevant simulations are designed to test the algorithm. Different control strategies are applied on the same flock during the time, and a more complex,flexible and practical control effect is acquired successfully.

Butterworth-type optical filters are realised using a combination of optical resonators which exhibit a single pole and single zero transfer function, quasi-all zero and quasi-all pole optical circuits, Design procedures as well as filter structures are proposed for optical lowpass, highpass and bandpass optical filters of even and odd orders. In particular, the [3 x 3] planar optical directional coupler has been employed with a direct feedback path and a single optical delay feedback to form a single-pole single-zero optical resonator. This is the basic block of cascaded sections of optical filters. [2 x 2] optical directional couplers have also been employed to construct interferometers and resonators having quasi-all pole or all zeros characteristics for cascading with the double feedback resonators to implement odd- and even-order modular optical filters.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a new analog real-time color space converter using off-the-shelf chips, which performs the transformation of the RGB color coordinates, obtained from a color sensor, to the RGB normalized color coordinates. The RGB color coordinates are relatively insensitive to light intensity variations, hence contributing to simplified segmentation. The module is intended to be used as the front end of color machine vision systems in inspection tasks and in autonomous applications, where the need for short processing times is crucial. Experimental results exhibiting the usefulness of the proposed color space converter are also presented. (C) 1997 Academic Press Limited.

The performance of the CEBus, a proposed computer network standard for the intelligent home, implemented with Power Line (PL) and Twisted Pair (TP) media, interconnected through a router, has been investigated. The delay and throughput characteristics of each of the three priority class of messages, i.e., DEFERRED, STANDARD and HIGH, have been measured. Overall, the PL - Router - TP network system has behaved well and as expected, however care must be taken to restrict traffic from the high (TP) to the low (PL) capacity medium to reasonable levels from the point of view of the low capacity medium.

The fast implementation of the linear and of the angular velocities of the end-effector of robotic manipulators, using the distributed arithmetic technique is described. The linear and angular velocities of the end-effector as well as the positional and the orientational Jacobian matrices is calculated by a cascade configuration of two pipelined arrays. The building blocks of the arrays are the distributed arithmetic-based circuits that implement the matrix-vector multiplications involved in the calculations. The digit-serial configuration of the proposed implementation of the linear and angular velocities of the end-effector is described, while the serial and the parallel configurations may result as special cases of the digit-serial configuration. The proposed distributed arithmetic computer architecture may be used in the real-time operation of the robot control system that requires the on-line computation of the position, of the linear and angular velocities of the end-effector and of the Jacobian matrix.
