  • An experimental research is a useful approach for realizing autonomous mobile robots to work in real environment. We are developing an autonomous mobile robot platform named "Yamabico" as a tool for experimental real world robotics research. The architecture of Yamabico is based on the concept of centralized decision making and functionally modularization. Yamabico robot has two level structure with behavior and function levels, and its hardware and software are functionally distributed for providing incremental development and good maintenancibility. We are using many Yamabico robots in our laboratory to realize the robust navigation technology for autonomous robots. The methodology for experimental and task-oriented approach of mobile robotics will be presented. And some experimental results of real world navigation in indoor and outdoor environment will be shown. be shown.

  • The need for intelligent systems that can operate in an unstructured, dynamic environment has created a growing demand for the use of multiple, distributed sensors. While most research in multisensor fusion has revolved around applications in object recognition-including military applications for automatic target recognition-developments in microsensor technology are encouraging more research in affordable, highly-redundant sensor networks. Three trends that are described at length are the increasing use of microsensors, the techniques that are used in the handling of partial or uncertain data, and the application of neural network techniques for sensor fusion.

  • Future cellular networks will mainly be driven by, high quality channels, high band with utilization, low power consumption and efficient network management. For a given channel allocation, the capacity and quality of communication of cellular radio systems using CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) can be increased by using a transmitter power control scheme to combat the near-far problem. Centralized power control schemes or distributed ones to maximize the minimum signal-to-interference in each user of CDMA wireless network have been investigated. This paper has proposed a distributed power control algorithm, which employs an adaptive search scheme, in order to solve quickly the linear systems of equations for power update in CDMA cellular radio systems. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has faster convergence rate than the typical bang-bang type of distributed power control algorithm, which has been much used as a reference algorithm in IS-95A and W-CDMA communication network.

  • This paper presents a design method of a static output feedback controller for continuous T-S fuzzy systems via parallel distributed compensation (PDC). The existence condition of a set of static output feedback gains is represented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The sufficient condition presented here does not need any transformation matrices and equality constraints and is less conservative than the previous results seen in [20].

  • This paper presents a design method of non-parallel distributed compensation (non-PDC) static output feedback controller for continuous- and discrete-time T-S fuzzy systems. The existence condition of static output feedback control law is represented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The proposed sufficient stabilizing condition does not need any transformation matrices and equality constraints and is less conservative than the previous result of [21].

  • In this paper, we present a resource conscious approach to designing distributed real-time systems as an extension of our original approach [8][9] which was limited to single processor systems. Starting from a given task graph and a set of end-to-end constraints, we automatically generate task attributes (e.g., periods and deadlines) such that (i) the task set is schedulable, and (ii) the end-to-end timing constraints are satisfied. The method works by first transforming the end-to-end timing constraints into a set of intermediate constraints on task attributes, and then solving the intermediate constraints. The complexity of constraint solving is tackled by reducing the problem into relatively tractable parts, and then solving each sub-problem using heuristics to enhance schedulability. In this paper, we build on our single processor solution and show how it can be extended for distributed systems. The extension to distributed systems reveals many interesting sub-problems, solutions to which are presented in this paper. The main challenges arise from end-to-end propagation delay constraints, and therefore this paper focuses on our solutions for such constraints. We begin with extending our communication scheme to provide tight delay bounds across a network, while hiding the low-level details of network communication. We also develop an algorithm to decompose end-to-end bounds into local bounds on each processor of making extensive use of relative load on each processor. This results in significant decoupling of constraints on each processor, without losing its capability to find a schedulable solution. Finally, we show, how each of these parts fit into our overall methodology, using our previous results for single processor systems.

  • Since the number of user-requests increases dramatically on the Internet, the servers and networks can be swamped unexpectedly without any prior notice. Therefore, the end-users are waiting or refused for the responses of the contents from the originating servers. To solve this problem, it has been considered that a distributed web caching system efficiently utilizes structural elements of the network. Because a distributed web caching system uses the caches that are close to end-users on the network, it transmits the contents to users faster than the original network system. This paper proposes a simple client-based distributed web caching system(2HRCS) that client can directly perform object allocation and load balancing without an additional DNS for load balancing in CARP (Cache Array Routing Protocol) and GHS (Global Hosting System) that are the recent distributed web caching system protocol. The proposed system reduces the cost of setup and operation by removing DNS that needs to balance the load in the existing system. The system has clients with consistent hashing method, so it extends its environment to other distributed web caching system that has caches of different capacity. A distributed web caching system is composed and tested to evaluate the performance. As a result, it shows superior performance to consistent hashing system. Because this system can keep performance of the existing system and reduce costs, it has the advantage of constructing medium or small scale CDN (Contents Delivery Network).

  • This paper introduces prototype design of 765kV Substation control system based on fiber optics LAN and distributed network protocol. Two major important facts, immunity of any surge which frequently occurs in Ultra High Voltage Substation and the most suitable communication protocol for substation control system, are considered on the system design conception. To meet the first fact, use of fiber optics cable and isolation transformer are considered, and to satisfy the second fact, DNP3.0(Distributed Network Protocol) which is IEC870-5 compatible is adopted.
