This paper describes our preliminary development of a virtual robot teleoperation platform based on hand gesture recognition using visual information. Hand gestures in images captured by a camera are recognised to control a virtual iCub. We employ two methods to realise the classification: Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference systems (ANFIS) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). We realise the teleoperation of a virtual robot using iCubSimulator. The technique in the paper will enable us to teleoperate a physical robot in the future work. In addition, a video server is set up to monitor the real robot. By using the parallel system we are able to improve the robot's performance. Based on the techniques presented in this paper, the virtual iCub can perform the specified actions remotely in a natural manner.

This paper introduces an approach to estimate the true states for stochastic Boolean dynamic system(SBDS), where the state evolution is governed by Boolean functions with additive binary process noise while the measurement is an arbitrary function of the state yet with additive binary measurement *** problem of figuring out the true state using the only available noisy outputs is crucial for practical applications of Boolean dynamic system models, however, for such Boolean systems with wide background, there are no ready-to-use convenient tools like Kalman filter for linear systems. To resolve this challenging problem, an approach based on Bayesian filtering called Boolean Bayesian Filter(BBF) is put forward to estimate the true states of SBDS, and an efficient algorithm is presented for their exact computation. An index to evaluate the filtering performance,named estimation error rate, is put forward in this paper as well. In addition, extensive simulations via actual examples have illustrated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm based on BBF.

This paper mainly provides and develops a new continuous-discrete PSO algorithm for handling with the optimal formation problem in the three dimensional space. For one class of formation problem with the particular constraints, it is shown that the center of the desired shape is determined and equal to the center of the initial shape by utilizing the Lagrangian method. From the perspective of efficiency, the main task of the continuous-discrete PSO algorithm, short for CDPSO, is to search for some key parameters and to minimize the distance of all robots from the initial shape to the desired shape. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the new CDPSO algorithm, numerical results chiefly concentrate on the optimal helicopters formation from the initial shape to the desired shape in the three dimensional space and the typical shape conversion from the two-dimensional space to the three-dimensional space.

A biomimetic controller with online adaptation of impedance and force is applied to a full kinematic and dynamic model of the Baxter bimanual robot. A set of fuzzy logic engines are proposed to infer the values of tuning gains which affect the control performance and control effort of the controller, which would conventionally be set to a static value based on expert knowledge of the controller; the aim of this being to avoid the use of arbitary values to set these values. A simulated experiment is carried out, where the Baxter robot is required to move an object through a trajectory while subjected to two different disturbance forces in four phases. The controller with fuzzy inferred control gains is compared against the same controller with fixed gains to gauge the effectiveness of the new method. Results show that fuzzy inference of control gains impart an improvement in both tracking error and control effort.

The navigation precision drops rapidly when MIMU (Micro Inertial Measurement Unit) works alone. Odometer data are easy to get on land vehicle, but the performance of integration system of MIMU/odometer is not enhanced obviously. In this work, a novel method is designed using nonholonomic constraints. When vehicle travels without slide and jump, the velocity in the plane perpendicular to forward direction is zero, as well as acceleration. Taking velocity constraint and acceleration constraint as measurement value, new measurement models are established. Integrated navigation algorithm is designed with the help of Kalman filter. With this method, the position error is 150m after 600s, and heading attitude error is 0.1°, comparing the result that the position error expands to 300m after 150s only aided by odometer.
