Surface electromyography(sEMG) measurement has been an essential approach to analyze human behaviors because we can generally consider that sEMG signals represent the muscle activities as the final output of our nerve system. One of the most serious problems for considering sEMG signal as the muscle activity is the shift of the relative position between muscles and skin depending on a posture. The motion of forearm rotation is the prominent example of muscle-skin shifting depending on postural changes. The sEMG signal from a sensor may represent the different muscle activity when the muscle-skin shifting is happened. In this study, we discuss a method to quantify the muscle-skin shift from the sEMG signals in response to the postural changes. We use the high density sEMG sensor that is possible to measure sEMG signal as the potential map. We proposed the computation algorithm to quantify the amount of muscle-skin shifting based on the change of the sEMG signals in response to the postural changes. We conducted the experiments of wrist extension motions under three different forearm postures: forearm pronation, natural posture and forearm supination. Experimental results from three healthy subjects show that we can quantify the extent of muscle-skin shifting as an angle by using proposed algorithm.

This paper reports the design, construction, and control of a mobile robot that can be transformed from the four-wheel mobile robot into two-wheel self-balancing robot and vice versa. The hardware of the robot utilizes the mechanism of the three-link manipulator. This robot is composed of three components;the body part, the middle link, and the top part. The system architecture comprises a pair of DC motor controllers to move the wheel, two servo motors to move the middle link and the top part, and an Arduino microcontroller board, etc. When the robot is transformed to the two-wheel self-balancing robot, the COM (Center of Mass) equation, and the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor are employed for attitude determination. The method of the control is based on a proportional-integral-differential (PID) control. The results show the possibility of performing both functions of the four-wheel mobile robot and two-wheel self-balancing robot.
As robots start to enter our everyday lives, they will bring with them the risk of privacy invasions. Unlike videoconferencing, we might not have control of where the sensors on our robots look, and where the robots g...

Online sequential extreme learning machine (OS-ELM) is an online learning algorithm training single-hidden layer feedforward neural networks (SLFNs), which can learn data one-by-one or chunk-by-chunk with fixed or varying data size. Due to its characteristics of online sequential learning, OS-ELM is popularly used to solve time-series prediction problem, such as stock forecast, weather forecast, passenger count forecast, etc. OS-ELM, however, has two fatal drawbacks: Its input weights cannot be adjusted and it cannot be applied to learn recurrent neural network (RNN). Therefore we propose a modified version of OS-ELM, called online recurrent extreme learning machine (OR-ELM), which is able to adjust input weights and can be applied to learn RNN, by applying ELM-auto-encoder and a normalization method called layer normalization (LN). Proposed method is used to solve a time-series prediction problem on New-York City passenger count dataset, and the results show that R-ELM outperforms OS-ELM and other online-sequential learning algorithms such as hierarchical temporal memory (HTM) and online long short-term memory (online LSTM).

This paper proposes a method of reconstructing a scalar field by adaptively choosing sampling locations and using the measurements obtained from those locations to reconstruct an estimate of the underlying field using Gaussian process regression. Spreading sampling points evenly over the field may not always be effective if the field is not uniformly distributed and the maximum number of measurements is limited. Taking more measurements in regions of large changes in the field than in regions of small changes can give a better estimate than spreading the same number of measurements evenly over the space. The proposed algorithm was tested on a synthetic scalar field and compared to two popular methods of determining sensor placement based on entropy and mutual information from information theory.
