This paper describes a system integration of a daily assistive robot. Several tasks on cooking are focused on, recognition and manipulation functions are developed and integrated. It is often the case that kitchen tools and foods have less distinctive texture on its surface, and kitchen environments which are made of reflective materials are susceptible to the effect of illumination. From these fact,...
The DC-DC converter using coupled inductors is known as one of the topologies that achieve higher power density. This paper focused on this topology especially using extreme close-coupled inductors (ECCI). Following the elucidation of design guidelines for the coupled inductor theoretically, the superiority of the interleaved converter using ECCI in terms of reducing the size and losses in the magnetic...
Windows-based PCs (Personal Computers) provide a powerful development environment for controller synthesis because it is easy to evaluate the control effect via installed multifunction I/O devices. These I/O devices are expensive due to handling a real-time processing while non-real-time I/O devices are constructed by inexpensive generalpurpose ICs (Integrated Circuits.) The aim of this paper is to...
In this paper we propose a high-S/N imaging method involving combining many images captured with small blur using a video camera capable of high-frame-rate image capturing at 1000 frames/s. Use of a high-frame-rate camera makes the image change between frames small, enabling easy motion estimation, and makes it possible to use more light information, even when the exposure time is reduced to avoid...
We propose a variant of the multi-touch display technology that introduces an original way of manipulating three-dimensional data. The underlying metaphor is that of a deformable screen that acts as a boundary surface between the real and the virtual worlds. By doing so, the interface can create the illusion of continuity between the userpsilas real space and the virtual three-dimensional space. The...
