A fuzzy rule based approach for extracting ridge lines from digital terrain elevation data (DTED) and digital elevation model (DEM) is presented. The algorithm consists of three major steps: Fuzzy rule based classification of the elevation data, ridge pixel detection from the pixel class under consideration, and filtration of unwanted pixels. The algorithm was tested on different DTED level 1 files and digital elevation model (DEM) and works well for both.

The mobile robot localization problem is decomposed into two stages; attitude estimation followed by position estimation. The innovation of our method is the use of a smoother, in the attitude estimation loop that outperforms other Kalman filter based techniques in estimate accuracy. The smoother exploits the special nature of the data fused; high frequency inertial sensor (gyroscope) data and low frequency absolute orientation data (from a compass or sun sensor). Two Kalman filters form the smoother. During each time interval one of them propagates the attitude estimate forward in time until it is updated by an absolute orientation sensor. At this time, the second filter propagates the recently renewed estimate back in time. The smoother optimally exploits the limited observability of the system by combining the outcome of the two filters. The system model uses gyro modeling which relies on integrating the kinematic equations to propagate the attitude estimates and obviates the need for complex dynamic modeling. The indirect (error state) form of the Kalman filter is developed for both parts of the smoother. The proposed approach is independent of the robot structure and the morphology of the ground. It can easily be transferred to another robot which has an equivalent set of sensors. Quaternions are used for the 3D attitude representation mainly for practical reasons discussed in the paper. Proposed innovative algorithm is tested in simulation and the overall improvement in position estimation is demonstrated.

These days, the development of computer devices leads to computer user explosion. On the other hand, conventional technology cannot handle user diversity, because the computer cannot treat each user's subjectivity. It is important to materialize techniques which can answer the user's subjective requests flexibly for the coming new media epoch. The article focuses on studying how subjective impressions are grounded in physical perceptions, especially in visual perception. We propose a model for subjectivity and physical perceptions, and give an example in an image database system.

This paper presents the conceptual framework and simulation results on a general technique for time delay compensation in teleoperation, based on the prediction of the human arm position and force, i.e. effectively the master state. This is shown to be significantly less complex and more intuitive than predicting the slave and environment dynamics. Simple polynomial or spline predictors, employing no knowledge of the human arm dynamics, are shown to produce good performance for small time delays when the master force and position are smooth. However, for real life force profiles, better performance is achieved by employing a human arm model and predicting the neural input to it.

In this paper, some fundamental issues of modern multi-agent robot architectures are discussed. It is argued that the multi-agent approach provides the necessary flexibility and adaptivity for such architectures, and that the primary issue in designing a multi-agent robot architecture is the selection of the granularity level, i.e., the decision on decomposing the overall desired functionality physically or across tasks. It is explained why at the various system levels different decomposition grains are needed; physical components, tasks or hybrid. This granularity decision is made on the basis of specific criteria of control localization, knowledge decoupling and interaction minimization so as to identify the decision points of the overall functionality. The above criteria lead to a dual composition-decomposition relation, which provides a good basis for system scaling. The paper specializes the discussion to a proposed neuro-fuzzy multi-agent architecture, which is then applied to design the local path planning system of an indoor mobile robot.

This paper proposes an approach for the design of discrete-time decentralized control systems covering not only the case of m-step delay sharing information pattern, but also any general nonclassical information pattern where the non-local information is not spread among the subsystems. It employs the model-based predictive control (MBPC) scheme combined with fuzzy prediction for the interconnections among the subsystems. A state space model is used at each control station to predict the corresponding subsystem output over a long-range time period. The interaction trajectories are considered to be non-linear functions of the states of the subsystems. In all cases, the interconnections and the necessary predictions for them are estimated by an appropriate neuro-fuzzy identifier trained on-line using the back-propagation training algorithm. Representative computer simulation results are provided and compared for nontrivial example systems.

This paper proposes an approach for the design of discrete-time decentralized control systems with m-step delay sharing information pattern, employing the modelbased predictive control (MBPC) scheme combined with fuzzy prediction for the interconnections among the subsystems. A state-space model is used at each control station to predict the corresponding subsystem output over a long-range time period. The interaction trajectories are considered to be non-linear functions of the states of the subsystems. For all cases the interconnections and the necessary predictions for them are estimated by an appropriate adaptive fuzzy identifier based on the generation of linguistic IF-THEN rules and the on-line construction of a common fuzzy rule base. Representative computer simulation results are provided and compared for nontrivial example systems.
