The 3D quantitative measurement system for a sewer pipe is introduced. Two parallel lasers are rotated by the motor and draw
the two annular streaks on the inside surface of the pipe. The circular laser streaks are recorded by the CCD camera. The
measurement of the cross-section is established by analyzing the recorded streaks. The tilt of the robot against the axis
of the pipe is detected by the deviation between two parallel lasers. It enables us to measure the vertical cross section
of the pipe regardless the tilt of the system to the pipe. Experimental result shows the feasibility of the system.

This research aimed to develop an autonomous mobile robot that helps various kinds of people. The evasion of obstacles is
absolutely imperative so that the robot can act in a human-life environment. Therefore, we developed a robot that moves through
doors and avoids obstacles with the help of images taken by a camera set on the robot.

Recently, autonomous robots which are designed on the basis of biological mechanism have attracted much attention. In this
paper, we focus on the mechanism of timing control studied by ecological psychology, and apply the framework to timing control
of a mobile robot. Experiments using real robots have been conducted and effective behaviors have been realized.

We propose a genetic algorithm-based method for designing an autonomous trader agent. The task of the proposed method is to
find an optimal set of fuzzy if–then rules that best represents the behavior of a target trader agent. A highly profitable
trader agent is used as the target in the proposed genetic algorithm. A trading history for the target agent is obtained from
a series of futures trading. The antecedent part of fuzzy if–then rules considers time-series data of spot prices, while the
consequent part indicates the order of trade (Buy, Sell, or No action) with its degree of certainty. The proposed method determines the antecedent part of fuzzy if–then rules. The consequent
part of fuzzy if–then rules is automatically determined from the trading history of the target trader agent. The autonomous
trader agent designed by the proposed genetic algorithm consists of a fixed number of fuzzy if–then rules. The decision of
the autonomous trader agent is made by fuzzy inference from the time-series data of spot prices.

A table-look-up immune network is proposed to solve problems arising from autonomous microrobots trying to achieve a given
goal with limited memory and calculation capacity. The method is implemented and tested with a microrobot “Kity”, with a size
of less than 1 cubic inch. It is possible to generate enough rules to make the robot achieve the goal of navigating freely
in a maze with a small number of sensors. Experimental results show the efficacy of immune networks in controling robots in
restricted environments. Kity demonstrated the efficiency of the associated algorithm arrived at by winning first prize at
the 4th and 5th International Microrobot Maze Contests held in Nagoya, Japan, in October, 1995 and 1996.

This paper presents a model of continuous sensory/motor systems for autonomous agents in naviga-tion problems. The Markov
environmental model and sequential plan are extended with fuzzy sets, which present the mathematical transformation from discrete
state space to continuous state space. The extended fuzzy environmental model and fuzzy sequential knowledge allow the identification
of continuous sensory/motor systems with a gradient descent-based parameter estimation algorithm. A simulation demonstrates
the feasibility of the proposed method.

A distributed approach is shown to coordinate the motions of transport tables for the cellular warehouse problem. In this
approach, the tables are considered to be autonomous agents, and a built-in behavior function given by artificial neural networks
(ANNs) and the evolved problem-oriented connection weights navigate the agents to their specified goals. To determine the
agent to be moved, a measure of the priority to move is introduced. We show that distributed agents with the learned behavior
function and the negotiation value perform a similar strategy to a “serializable” solution forN-puzzle problems, which provides a good heuristic strategy for large-scale problems.

This paper presents an autonomous wheelchair system with the capability of self-localization and obstacle avoidance. In our
system, the ceiling lights are chosen as landmarks to realize the self-localization of the wheelchair, and a laser range-finder
is used for obstacle avoidance. First the approaches of landmark recognition and selflocalization for the wheelchair are proposed.
Then the principle of obstacle avoidance using a laser range-finder is described. Finally, the total system of the wheelchair
is introduced and a navigational experiment is described. Experimental results indicate the effectiveness of our system.

The necessity of sewers to carry sediment has been recognized for many years. Typically, old sewage systems were designated based on self-cleansing concept where there is no deposition in sewer. These codes were applicable to non-cohesive sediments (typically storm sewers). This study presents adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), which is a combination of neural network and fuzzy logic, as an alternative approach to predict the functional relationships of sediment transport in sewer pipe systems. The proposed relationship can be applied to different boundaries with partially full flow. The present ANFIS approach gives satisfactory results (r2 = 0.98 and RMSE = 0.002431) compared to the existing predictor. 相似文献

This article deals with the development of learning methods for an intelligent control system for an autonomous mobile robot.
On the basis of visual servoing, an approach to learning the skill of tracking colored guidelines is proposed. This approach
utilizes a robust and adaptive image processing method to acquire features of the colored guidelines and convert them into
the controller input. The supervised learning procedure and the neural network controller are discussed. The method of obtaining
the learning data and training the neural network are described. Experimental results are presented at the end of the article.

Building artificial lifelike autonomous agents is still considered an art, rather than a science. A generally accepted precise
methodology is missing, and—given the properties of the real world—it is doubtful whether such a methodology will ever be
developed. Nevertheless, it is possible to define criteria and provide heuristics for good designs. We have developed a number
of design principles which, when applied, lead to what we would consider good designs from a cognitive science or artificial
life (ALife) perspective. The paper illustrates some of these principles using a case study of classification.

We propose a mental image directed semantic theory (MIDST) and apply it to integrated multimedia information understanding,
such as cross-media operations through intermediate knowledge representation. This article describes a multiagent model of
the human mind based on the MIDST and its application to human–robot communication.

This article describes a new approach for control systems for an autonomous mobile robot by using sandwiches of two different
types of neural network. One is a neural network with competition and cooperation, and is used for recognizing sensor information
where synaptic coupling are fixed. The second is a neural network with adaptive synaptic couplings corresponding to a genotype
in a creature, and used for self-learning for the wheel controls. In a computer simulation model, we were successful in obtaining
four types of robot with good performance when going along a wall. The model also showed robustness in a real environment.

We investigate a synchrony in a self-repairing network of autonomous agents capable of repairing mutually. In this paper,
we define two models: a synchronous model and asynchronous one. They differ in the timing when the agents change their state.
Computer simulations revealed that the synchronous model has a critical point, while the asynchronous one does not. We also
studied a repair scheme in asynchronous model where the repaired agents in turn repair neighbor agents successively in a chain-reactive
fashion. Performance of the scheme has been examined by computer simulations.

We are attempting to develop an autonomous personal robot that has the ability to perform practical tasks in a human living
environment by using information derived from sensors. When a robot operates in a human environment, the issue of safety must
be considered in regard to its autonomous movement. Thus, robots absolutely require systems that can recognize the external
world and perform correct driving control. We have thus developed a navigation system for an autonomous robot. The system
requires only image data captured by an ocellus CCD camera. In this system, we allow the robot to search for obstacles present
on the floor. Then, the robot obtains distance recognition necessary for evasion of the object, including data of the obstacle’s
width, height, and depth by calculating the angles of images taken by the CCD camera. We applied the system to a robot in
an indoor environment and evaluated its performance, and we consider the resulting problems in the discussion of our experimental
results.
