In this paper, authors proposes an idea of “mechanical messaging” for inter-robot communication using actuators and force sensors equipped on robots. In their previous works, they have proposed the decentralized multiple autonomous monopedal robots system "Universal Unipods" for universal object transportation. Their statement is that a very simple yet widely applicable function such as...
This paper deals with a new object transportation scheme performed by a herd of autonomous monopedal robots. The system is named as ldquoUniversal Unipods,rdquo in which each robot is attached on a load to be transported and works as if it were one of the legs of a large multipedal robot. The system is designed not only for generality of application but also for easiness of operation. The authors...
Semantic object extraction from a video sequence is an indispensable technique in new content-based applications, such as in the international standards MPEG-4 and MPEG-7. In the present paper, we propose a technique that extracts the shape of moving objects from a video sequence with a stationary background by the level set method. In the proposed method, two concepts are incorporated into a novel...
This paper deals with an analysis of situated human's behaviour as a controller that stabilizes unstable plants. There are studies that deal with human's dynamics in a certain ideal environment, but few detailed analysis of human who acts freely is discussed yet. We employ the inverted pendulum game to clarify the problem.
