The concept of information freshness has developed over the last few years into an active and rapidly growing area of research. It has become known as the Age of Information (AoI). After its initial formal introduction, it became clear that it was very relevant (if not crucial) for numerous applications, ranging from autonomous vehicle systems, the Internet of Things, real-time computing to dat…
An invariant object recognition system needs to be able to recognise the object under any usual a priori defined distortions such as translation, scaling and in‐plane and out‐ of‐plane rotation. Ideally, the system should be able to recognise (detect and classify) any complex scene of objects even within background clutter noise. This problem is a very complex and difficult one
Micro-electro-mechanical systems, or MEMS, are becoming a vital technology for our society. MEMS technology is increasingly penetrating into our lives and improving our quality of life, similar to what we experienced in the microelectronics revolution
In the present study, a novel approach to estimating the efficiency of roller chain power transmission systems is proposed based on sliding friction losses and damping force
: In this paper, a single leg platform for quadruped robots is designed based on the motivation of high-speed locomotion. The leg is designed for lightweight and low inertia with a structure of three joints by imitating quadruped animals
Standard laboratory methods for measurement of soil nitrate (NO3–N) use various procedures and instruments to analyze soil samples taken from the field and transported to the laboratory
Many factors contribute to excessive thatch accumulation, including rapid and dense growth of the turfgrass species, excessive fertility and irrigation, and infrequent cultivation programs
The motion of nonholonomic mobile manipulators (NMMs) is inherently constrained by joint limits, joint velocity limits, self-collisions and singularities. Most motion planning algorithms consider some of the aforementioned constraints, however, a unified framework to deal with all of them is lacking
In Japan, the central government started the promotion of citizens’ health by self-supervision in 2000, and walking is recently recognized as the most popular sport for many generations. Based on this background, the present study aimed to design, develop, operate, and evaluate a walking support system, which takes into account the users’ circumstances (each user’s health conditions, n…
