A navigation system based on hybrid map for intelligent wheelchair is presented. The system is consisted of hybrid map building, localization, path planning and trajectory following. The hybrid map includes a series of small probabilistic grid maps (PGM) and a global topological map (GTM). They are built simultaneously and easily using the human-guided method. Then on the hybrid map, the localization and the real-time path planning algorithms are realized smartly and effectively. The experiments and applications results show that the human-guided method integrates both the computer’s modeling ability and the human’s sensory perception to the environment. The hybrid map is easy to solve the loop-closure and doorway problems that enhances the robustness against uncertainty of sensors. It also can improve the efficiency in large-scale SLAM. Further more, at an elderly home we did the activities of daily living (ADL) testing and at Shanghai Expo 2010 we demonstrated the wheelchair system by offering trial rides to visitors.

In recent years, the robot for minimally invasive surgery has been expanded for wide application in clinic. However, robot assisted surgery is quite different from traditional surgery, so the training and practice are very important to the surgeon. The development of a panoramic simulation for robot assisted endoscopic surgery is described in the paper. The simulation is appropriate for da Vinci and other similar system. In this simulation, the robot model is accurately presented, and its kinematic analysis is precise. The soft tissue model used in the simulation is an improved mass-spring model. This model is suited for real-time and visual deformation. A commercial haptic device known as Omega is used in this simulation, we can easily obtain haptics by it. As a result, the user can switch between panoramic display and local scene by zoom, and can easily manipulate the virtual surgical robot to perform many surgical operations such as grasping and pushing, at the same time, the user can feel the force feedback.

This paper proposes the registration information, the participation information for classifying demand resources participate in demand response program. Modeling demand resources from them, it evaluates values of demand resources. Specially assuming that ignore the loss in power system, they take a role as generation. Therefore this paper proposes the conceptual transformation of demand resources into virtual generation units and then ISO executes DR scheduling from evaluated demand resources' values and generation data, network data.

Aiming at the problem of the next best view, an approach for determining the next best view is proposed by using voxel map and simplex method. Firstly, a range image of the scene is obtained, then a voxel map is created according to the range data and related voxel information is obtained. Secondly, an objective function which considers area, quality, overlap, occlusion, navigation and other factors is defined, and the problem of the next best view is abstracted to the optimization solving problem of objective function. Finally, the simplex method is applied to optimize the objective function. The direction and position corresponding to the optimal solution of the objective function is the next best view. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is feasible and effective.

Stroke is very common and always leads to severe hand impairment. Traditional robotic systems have been introduced to assist therapy for a long time and already achieved certain effect. However, with further development of therapy strategies in the last few years, higher request to the rehabilitation robot has been put forward. Thus, we are developing a novel hand rehabilitation robot named HIT-glove to provide patient-cooperative therapy for hand-impaired poststroke patients. In this paper, the mechanical design of the actuated hand exoskeleton is detailed and the control strategy for patient-cooperative therapy is introduced. The actuated hand exoskeleton, which can be applied to hands in different sizes and shapes, is able to bilaterally actuate every joint of the fingers. The patient-cooperative control strategy, based on the sensing system and an interactive interface, is well designed to let the patient actively participate into the therapy. Besides, to get a better effect of functional rehabilitation of the hand, our robot is expected to provide the following two categories of therapy: motor function exercise for joints and movement coordination training for fingers.

A compact nanopositioner which consists of three stick-slip inertial stages was designed and built particularly for nanomanipulation inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Considering linear dynamics of PZT and nonlinear friction between slider and rod, a comprehensive model representation of the stick-slip stage was presented and verified by being compared with experimental results. Resolution to 10nm has been achieved and the ability to lift up to 70g has been demonstrated. Some manipulations of nanowires were performed in assistant of the nanopositioner we developed, including picking up and bending single ones. Both results of experiments and manipulations demonstrated the excellent performance of the nanopositioner.
