Solving algorithmic problems and implementing them in code is a major theme in introductory computerscience courses. Problems related to string manipulation are common and of great importance in various domains. In the context of computerscience education, solving algorithmic problems of this type may be very challenging for novices, even for the more competent students. Analysis of novice students' solutions to a specific class of problems dealing with string manipulation revealed that a widespread intuitive and non-linear approach was used to solve these problems, which led to cumbersome and erroneous solutions. On the other hand, a straightforward linear approach that leads to shorter and more elegant solutions is uncommon. Uncovering students' common and unsatisfactory approaches in problem solving have significant implications on instruction.

In this paper, the grasp operation of an underactuated finger mechanism is simulated with the aim to characterize and analyze its performance. The design of the proposed mechanism is based on spring systems that give suitable underactuation characteristics. A CAD model is proposed and then it is used in a procedure for numerical simulation. Simulation results show suitable capability for grasping a wide range of objects in size and shape by operating the mechanism inside the finger body. The achieved grasp has been simulated as a human-like functionality with a grasp contact in each phalanx.

The ball grid array (BGA) has become one of the most popular packaging alternatives for high I/O devices in the industry with many advantages: high interconnection density and less packaging space and so on. In these days, the size of chip becomes small and the size of ball grid also becomes small, so the process of BGA alignment becomes more important and difficult. In this paper, the BGA alignment system before the oven process step is managed. The main difficult of inspecting the BGA alignment is that the substrate is always tilted due to irregular carrier size and in-line process. In this paper, to overcome this problem, tilt angle of substrate is measured by phase measuring profilometry (PMP), and then the compensated alignment offset calculation algorithm is suggested. The performance of our system is checked by a series of real experiments.

Sexual selection has been mathematically modeled using quantitative genetics as well as population genetics. Two-locus simulation models have been used to study the evolution of male display and female preference. We present an individual-based simulation model of sexual selection in a quantitative genetic context. We show that under certain conditions Fisherian self-reinforcing sexual selection takes effect, predicted by Lande’s analytic model of female choice. We also show that the dynamics involved in the co-evolution of male display and female preference is much more complex than mathematics would predict. We therefore argue that the study of sexual selection through individual-based simulation could give new and more realistic insight into a world dominated by overly simplified equations.

This research proposes a method to eliminate friction effect and reduced tracking error on CNC milling machines. A CNC milling machine has many connected mechanical components which have friction effects such as ball screws and rails. To control servo motors which are used to drive X-Y table in CNC milling machine, the conventional PID controller is widely used. In this research, Panasonic motor driver is set to the torque control mode. To compensate the friction effects, the friction feedforward compensation method is proposed. Moreover, to reduce the position tracking error, position feedforward controller is used. The simulation and implementation of position control in one axis of PID with Friction Feedforward Compensation and Position Feedforward Controller (FFC-PFC) are presented.

This paper describes a fully autonomous mobile urban robot-X1, which can perform multiple tasks autonomously in an unknown urban environment without human guidance, including mobile reconnaissance, target searching, and object manipulation. The mission-oriented design, which allows reliability and extensibility of the robotic system, includes a high degree of modularity for both hardware and software architecture, and coordination between tasks. Our strategy specifically addresses fundamental issues such as autonomous navigation in unknown urban environments and vision-based object manipulation. All the functionalities have been proved effective in the real urban environments. The robot platform is being built to provide valuable experiences on autonomous robotics research.
