In this study, a structure of a thin and flexible tactile sensor using pressure conductive rubber is presented. The sensor can cover specific three-dimensional surface, has a total of 36 elements and can measure the pressure in the range 0-600 k Pa, approximately. In order to compare the performance of the voltage feedback methods and the zero potential method, which presented in the literature are applied to weaken the crosstalk effect in a resistive array, some simple circuits are structured based on these methods, respectively. Then the effect of some circuit parameters on measurement errors of each circuit is simulated and analyzed and the performance of the circuits to weaken the crosstalk effect is compared. According to the simulation results, the performance of the circuit based on the voltage feedback non-scanned-sampling-electrode method is the best than any others. Therefore, a tactile signal acquiring and processing circuit based on this method is design. At last, experimental results that the crosstalk affects the measurement errors of this circuit are given.

This paper presents a fast and efficient image registration algorithm for UAV image *** proposed algorithm consists of three main steps:feature extraction,feature point tracking,and homography matrix *** to the comparison with different feature points,we choose the KLT feature and track them during the consecutive *** the correct tracked feature points,the Total Least Squares (TLS)method is used to estimate homography matrix between two consecutive images,and then the multi-view constraint is used to refine the result and reduce the accumulative error in the image *** method is robust and with less iteration times. Experiments on different image sequences indicate that our method has satisfactory image registration results with the average time 0.3s.

This paper presents a comb-finger capacitive displacement sensor used in nano-positioning system. The displacement sensor is designed to develop an integrated implementation platform and to achieve its closed-loop control. In the design, offset constant-tooth, combinations with S-type beams and flexible cantilevers have been adopted to enhance the position range and structure performance. Surface and bulk micromachining technology is employed to fabricate the sensor from a single crystal silicon wafer. Through testing of the nano-positioning stage, the capability of the sensor has been obtained. The results show that this method can achieve a detect range of 10 μm, with resolution of 5 nm.

A common feature of unmanned vehicles is their complexity, which grows apace and provides its own challenges. Frameworks for managing this growing complexity have always been one of the key aspects of designing an unmanned vehicle. In this paper, a generalized architecture is proposed to not only address the complexity in developing an unmanned vehicle, but also support the algorithm exchange and technology transfer for integrating efforts from different researchers. We first detail the autonomic element, which is the fundamental unit of the architecture. Then the architecture is constructed, and thorough discussions are given. Finally, simulations on a semi-physical platform are carried out to examine the performance of this architecture.
In this paper, a multiple-rotorcraft-flying-robot (MRFR) testbed is introduced. Firstly, physical structure, as well as hardware and software system, is described in detail. Subsequently, in order to realize the auton...

This paper presents a novel dielectrophoresis (DEP) chip for lateral separation of cells/particles at multiple frequencies. DEP force was enabled by interdigitated electrodes fabricated in the access channel. The non-uniform electric field distribution in the micro-channel is solved through finite element analysis. To improve the effectiveness of separation, the shape of insulators is optimized and other parameters such as the width of the electrodes are studied by introducing parameter K which can stand for the DEP force imposed on cells/particles. It is proved that planar electrodes can take place of 3D electrodes under certain condition. Furthermore functions realized by 3D electrodes can also be achieved by simple planar electrodes.
In this paper, multiple robots cooperation based moving target localization problem is researched. Different from traditional statistics based architecture, the concept of uncertain set is utilized in this paper to fo...

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.
An experimental study of an active cooperative observation approach based on Extended Set-Membership Filter (ESMF) is completed. In the experiment, the two RFRs can keep the optimal observation formation while achievi...
