The mechanical advantages of bio-inspired condylar robotic knee joints for use in prosthetics or rehabilitation has been argued extensively in literature. A common limitation of these designs is the difficulty of estimating joint angle and therefore accurately controlling the joint. Furthermore, the potential role of ligament-like structures in robotic knees is not very well established. In this work,...
Traditional means of urban community management are not satisfying the new demands placed by a modern city. Gridding Urban Management (GUM) seems to be a promising model for urban management in the 21st century. But the GUM is immature due to the lack of innovative strategies for effective management. This paper constructs an agent-based simulation system, to explore innovative GUM strategies. The...
Gridding Urban Management (GUM) seems to be a promising model for urban management in the 21st century. But GUM must be more than “infrastructure” - it needs to support effective management strategies. This paper outlines our initial attempt of examining urban problems within a GUM framework, and using an agent-based system to study strategy choices. We have developed a prototype system and modeled...
The semantic structure of scene is important information used for interpretation of object behavior or event detection in video surveillance system. In this paper, we propose an automatic method for learning models of semantic region by analyzing the trajectories of moving objects in the scene. First, the trajectory is encoded to represent both the position of the object and its instantaneous velocity...
Taking the original intelligence optimization algorithm "plant growth simulation algorithm" (PGSA) " as a direct application, we propose the "pattern inter-domain mapping variation" methodology to knowledge innovation. We compare PGSA with genetic algorithm (GA) on distribution center location problem, and the result proves PGSA is superior to GA on accuracy. Analysis on theory...
