This paper proposes a new task selection method for multi-task communication robots. As robot technology improves, communication robots are being used in public places. These communication robots are meant to perform patrol, promotion, or guidance activities in place of humans. When a communication robot is implemented for multiple purposes, it is important that the robot be able to appropriately...
In current conventional method, the sewer pipe inspection is undertaken using a cable-tethered robot with an on-board video camera system, completely, tele-operated by human operator. All commercial sewer inspection robots have platforms with poor mobility functions so that those robots are only capable to move into the straight pipes. Inspecting the sewage pipes using the state of the arts inspection...
In this paper, descriptions of various flexible neural probes and a rat car system, which we developed, are presented. The probe is sufficiently flexible to enable minimally invasive recording. Some of these probes have micro-fluidic channels integrated into the probe that can be used to inject chemicals into neural tissues and achieve a stable interface with the nervous system. The focus is on issues...
Echo state networks (ESNs) use a recurrent artificial neural network as a reservoir. Finding a good one depends on choosing the right parameters for the generation of the reservoir, intuition and luck. The method proposed in this article eliminates the need for the tuning by hand by replacing it with a double evolutionary computation. First a broad search to find the right parameters, which generate...
