Intelligent rescue systems with high information and robot technology have been expected to mitigate disaster damages, especially in Japan after the 1995 Hanshin-Awaji earthquake. In development of robots for search and rescue tasks it is important to develop a robot which can actually work in a real disaster site. Several robots were used for the search and detection operation in the collapsed World Trade Center building in September 2001. From 2002 "Special Project for Earthquake Disaster Mitigation in Urban Areas" (5 years project) launched by Ministry of Education, Culture, Spots, Science and Technology, Japan. It aims at significant mitigation the earthquake disaster damage on the scale of the Great Hanshin earthquake, in densely populated areas in big city regions such as Tokyo metropolitan area and Keihanshin area. In this paper, we introduce the activities of the mission unit on the information collection by on-rubble mobile platforms

This paper provides an update to the January 2006 letter on "ambient intelligence", describing this year's achievements and the latest demonstration systems. The Ambient Intelligence Project (also known by the code name project Mushroom) aims to bridge the boundaries between technological fields and thus cover the entire field of communication science.

In our last homework, we solved large sparse systems of linear equations andlearned that to keep storage and computational costs low, it's very important to exploit structurein our matrix. We exploited sparsity; in this homework, we'll consider a set of problems that havean additional type of structure.

Personal robots, which are expected to become popular in the future, are required to be active in joint work and community life with humans. Such robots must have no bad physical or psychical effect on humans. The psychical effect of a robot on humans has been subjectively measured using questionnaires. However, it has not been objectively measured yet. Human emotion and the consciousness direction can be measured by physiological parameters and body motion, respectively. Therefore, the bioinstrumentation system WB-1 was developed in order to objectively measure the psychical effect of a robot on a human. It can measure physiological parameters such as respiration, heart rate, perspiration and pulse wave, and arm motion. Analyzing human stress in the interaction with a robot from electrocardiogram, the robot could generate a motion for decreasing the stress

In this work we introduce and describe optimal sets of survivable paths defined on an undirected simple graph G. An optimal set of survivable paths in G corresponds to a set of mesh-restored lightpaths in an optical network that minimizes the number of optical channels. We present several fundamental properties of optimal sets of survivable paths in G.
