"Super-exponential" methods (SEMs) are attractive algorithms for solving blind signal separation problems. Conventional SEMs are so sensitive to Gaussian noise that they cannot work in a noisy environment. To overcome this drawback, we proposed a new SEM , which does not utilise second-order statistics but only higher-order cumulants. Hence, the proposed SEM becomes robust to Gaussian noise (RSEM). In this paper, mixed signals in a noisy environment are separated in the frequency domain using an adaptive version of RSEM (ARSEM). After separation, noise components are reduced with a speech enhancement technique. We show the results of this simulation and experiment, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method

A systematic methodology for generating multi-folded torus chaotic attractors from a simple three-dimensional piecewise-linear system is presented in this paper. Theoretical analysis shows that multi-folded torus chaotic attractors can be created via alternative switching between two piecewise-linear systems. A novel circuit diagram is designed for physically creating multi-folded torus chaotic attractors. This is the first time in the literature to experimentally verify a maximum 9-folded torus chaotic attractor that is generated by an analog circuit.

The use of driving-aid ultrasonic systems in low visibility conditions due to fog, makes it necessary to study the influence of environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity or air velocity on the ultrasonic propagation. The present work tries to construct simple empirical models for velocity and echo amplitude that includes temperature and relative humidity as inputs. We present the results obtained in the modelling of the ultrasonic propagation in environments with variable conditions of humidity and temperature, including foggy conditions.

The paper concerns a decision plant consisting of parallel operations, which are described by relational models with unknown parameters. Unknown parameters are assumed to be values of uncertain variables characterized by certainty distributions given by an expert. The solution of a decision problem and, consequently, performance of the knowledge-based decision system is very sensitive to the forms and parameters of certainty distributions. In the paper it is showed how application of an adaptation process, consisting in step by step changing of parameters in certainty distributions based on current performance evaluation, may improve performance of a decision system under consideration. An illustrative example and results of simulations are included.

An omni-directional wheelchair is highly maneuverable in narrow or crowded areas such as residences, offices and hospitals. However, with the increase in the degrees of freedom accompanying omni-directional wheelchairs, it has become more important than in the past to develop a smooth and vibrationless motion control system. This paper presents a novel motion control method for an omni-directional wheelchair considering the suppression of vibration of both the wheelchair and the user. In the proposed control system, the vibration of the wheelchair is suppressed by notching the frequency characteristics at the natural frequency of both the wheelchair and human's organs. The designed controller satisfies various control specifications such as settling time and stability by using feedback from only the wheelchair's position data. The effectiveness of the proposed system is evaluated by the output signal of a sensor attached to the wheelchair and by a descriptive inspection of several users.

In this paper, a novel power assist system for the attendant of an omni-directional transport wheelchair is proposed. The input force of the attendant is measured using a force sensor attached to the handle of the wheelchair. The desired motion of the wheelchair is estimated from the output signal of the force sensor using fuzzy reasoning. Then, it is transmitted to four motors of the wheelchair to make it move toward the desired direction. The effectiveness of the proposed method is examined by simulations and experiments.

This paper studies modeling and bio-mimetic control of a 3D 8-dof whole arm cooperative manipulation system using sensitive skin. The control law is designed based on integration of voluntary movement and reflex considering the system's redundancy. The voluntary task for holding the object is realized by impedance control at four contact points with the object using the contact force information from the sensitive skin. The reflection on the other hand is introduced as a regulation problem of the direction between the points of end-effectors and elbows. We then investigate the exact solutions for the combined motion and their solvable conditions. The validity of the proposed method is investigated by numerical simulations

This paper studies modeling and bio-mimetic control of a 3D 8-dof whole arm cooperative manipulation system using sensitive skin. A sphere is considered here as a manipulated object. The control law is designed based on integration of voluntary and reflex movements considering the system's redundancy. The voluntary task for holding the object is realized by impedance control at the four contact points with the object using the contact force information from the sensitive skin. The reflection on the other hand is introduced as a regulation problem of the direction between the points of end-effectors and elbows. The solution for the redundant control is formulated and derived from the optimization point of view. The validity of the proposed method is investigated by numerical simulations.
