The research work aims at developing a real time non-invasive metabolism and blood circulation surveillance system for monitoring human's health condition by sensing the various bio-signals on human body. Our goal is to use the developed system to study the functions and characters of organs and tissues that highly relate with the metabolism and blood circulation system, also it is expected to help...
This paper presents a novel multi-sensor-based robot localization framework inspired by human coarse-to-fine recognition mechanism to realize fast and robust localization in the process of robot navigation. This localization framework consists of two parts: coarse place recognition and accurate location estimation. The coarse place recognition is realized using an onboard camera, whereas an image...
This paper focused on improving the movement accuracy of PMs on the end-effector. Lots of sensors will be used to joints as possible, Some joints with better error performance than original driving joints at each position in the work space will be identified by using error evaluation measures, and their movement information will be transfered to driving joints to realize movements of the end-effector.
A sub-optimal guidance and nonlinear control scheme based on Optic Flow (OF) cues ensuring soft lunar landing using two minimalistic bio-inspired visual motion sensors is presented here. Unlike most previous approaches, which rely on state estimation techniques and multiple sensor fusion methods, the guidance and control strategy presented here is based on the sole knowledge of a minimum sensor suite...
Millions of physical disabilities, who have lost a hand or both hands, are in need of prosthetic hands not only for decoration but also for the functions to help them with basic daily activities. Although EMG prosthetic hands are being extensively studied to satisfy this need, most of them are too expensive to be economically available, difficult to operate and maintain by a user him/herself, or over...
This paper presents an efficient navigation system which presents the navigation information to the visually impaired via Kinect and vibrotactile belt. The system consists of three parts. The first part is Kinect, which is used for obstacles detection. The second part is a laptop, the laptop processes the depth data of the context acquired by the Kinect, and then translates safe guidance hint into...
The purpose of the present study is to develop a person counting system using a 3D laser scanner. The system consists of a person-detection component, a tracking component, and a counting component. The person-detection component detects human bodies as a point cloud, even if a number of people are close to each other. To achieve this, we use a method of grouping the point cloud towards the bottom...
A space-saving end-effector is designed for small scale manipulator in this paper. The end-effector is equipped with capture and actuation transmission capabilities. Two subsystems are highly integrated systems of mechanics, electronics and sensors. A trefoil shaped capture system is developed for closed envelop. The worm shaft and worm wheels are adopted for the self-locking property, and they are...
Exoskeleton of lower extremity, as a kind of wearable robot, can help people who have walking problems and offer rehabilitation training. In this work, through the analysis of human walking, the mechanical structure of an exoskeleton system was studied. By judging the user's intended movement with the measured pressure of the feet, the exoskeleton system works to assist the user. Then, surface EMG...
Multi-robot cooperation is a critical technology for nanorobotics and nanomedicine. This paper presents a nanorobot swarming algorithm based on Bacteria Foraging Optimization with the aim of eradicating cancer cells in blood vessels. In the algorithm, each nanorobot is considered as a bacterium with specified chemotaxis and swarming behavior. A simulation environment reflecting the property of concentration,...
In this paper, it discusses the state-of-art of the assistant safety driving technologies. It mainly includes the lane departure warning, ambient vehicle detection and vehicle safety distance keeping, pedestrian detection, driver behavior monitoring, vehicle motion control and communication. In the human-vehicle interaction, the large amount of information from all kinds of sensors should be well...
