In this paper a new concept of Mobile Spatial Assistive Intelligence (MSAI) applied for the control and supervision of web connected mobile robots is introduced. Mobile Intelligence is implemented as MSAS (Mobile Spatial Assistance System) - a mobile robot available to perform Qualitative Spatio-Temporal Representation and Reasoning (QSTRR). Taking up this subject is justified by the need of developing new methods for the control, supervision and integration of existing modules (inspection robots, autonomous robots, mobile base station). The research problem comprises the web connected mobile robots system development structure with the exemplification based on the inspection-intervention system. Using QSTRR for supervision and control of robotics system is a novel approach and I believe that this framework can decrease the cognitive load for a human operator. The main task for MSAS is to build the semantic model of the structured environment based on its observations. This semantic model is used by a qualitative reasoner - an important component of MSAI, to perform spatial entities' supervision based on the spatial relations and the spatio-temporal events. The experiments' results obtained using the prototype of MSAS in real indoor environment are also discussed. This approach can be used for the design of the intelligent human machine interface that can help in controlling the robot during the risky scenarios.

Novel care-technologies possess a transformational potential. Future care and support may be provided via monitoring technologies such as smart devices, sensors, actors (robots) and Information and Communication Technologies. Such technologies enable care provision outside traditional care institutions, for instance in the homes of patients. Health monitoring may become "personalized" i.e. tailored to the needs of individual care recipients' but may also alter relations between care providers and care recipents, shape and form the care environment and influence values central to health-care. Starting out from a social constructivist theory of technology, an interactive ethical assessment-model is offered. The suggested model supplements a traditional analysis based on normative ethical theory (top-down approach) with interviews including relevant stakeholders (a bottom-up approach). This method has been piloted by small-scale interviews encircling stakeholder perspectives on three emerging technologies: Careousel, a smart medicine-management device, Robot Giraff, an interactive and mobile communication-device and I-Care, a care-software that combines alarm and register system. By incorporating stakeholder perspectives into the analysis, the interactive ethical assessment model provides a richer understanding of the impact of PHM-technologies on ethical values than a traditional top-down model. If the assessment is conducted before the technology has reached the market - preferably in close interaction with developers and users - ethically sound technologies may be obtained.

This chapter describes a novel methodology for behavior learning of an agent, called Coaching. The proposed method is an interactive and iterative learning method which allows a human trainer to give a subjective evaluation to the robotic agent in real time, and the agent can update the reward function dynamically based on this evaluation simultaneously. We demonstrated that the agent is capable of learning the desired behavior by receiving simple and subjective instructions such as positive and negative. The proposed approach is also effective when it is difficult to determine a suitable reward function for the learning situation in advance. We have conducted several experiments with a simulated and a real robot arm system, and the advantage of the proposed method is verified throughout those experiments.

This paper proposes the control interface of a robotic wheelchair for sufferers from rheumatism. The proposed interface adopts electromyogram(EMG)signals as input signals for command generation based on functionally different effective muscle(FEM)theory. Sufferers from rheumatism can move not his joints but muscles. Therefore, EMG signals have a potential to become the helpful tool. In addition, FEM theory represents the relation between the direction of the output force at the end effector such as a wrist(or an ankle)and muscles of limbs. Thus, the proposed interface can realize the intuitive operation. Experimental results evaluate the utility of the proposed control interface.

Miniature microscopes are being developed to examine tissue in situ for early anatomic and molecular indicators of disease, in real time, and at cellular resolution. These new devices will lead to a shift from the current diagnostic paradigm of biopsy followed by histopathology and recommended therapy, to one of non-invasive point-of-care diagnosis with the possibility of treatment in the same session. This potential revolution in disease management may have a major impact on the training of future physicians to include the use and interpretation of real-time in vivo microscopic data, and will also affect the emerging fields of telepathology and telemedicine. Implementation of new technologies into clinical practice is a complex process that requires multidisciplinary communication and collaboration among clinicians, engineers and scientists. As such, our aim is to provide a forward-looking view of the critical issues facing the development of new technologies and directing clinical education. Here, we focus on the use of in vivo microscopy for detection of malignant and pre-malignant lesions as well as for guiding therapy. We will highlight some of the areas in which in vivo microscopy could address unmet clinical needs, and then review the technological challenges that are being addressed, or need to be addressed, for in vivo microscopy to become an effective clinical tool.

Based on the electro-hydraulic proportional system of a demolition robot working device,a simplified mathematical model was established by analyzing dynamic characteristics of the electro-hydraulic proportional valve,flow equation,the continuity equation and force equilibrium equations,and the fuzzy self-adaptive PID controller was designed to realize position control of working equipment.The simulations reveal that,compared with traditional PID,the fuzzy self-adaptive PID controller has these advantages such as smaller overshoot,good dynamic response and steady state performance.

Electromechanica Inc. was tasked with researching and developing a proof of concept robot tool for in-situ pipe inspection of fleet piping. Electromechanica has designed and fabricated a proof of concept robot tool based on a pneumatically actuated peristaltic motion. This motion is accomplished by the use of inflatable pneumatic grippers, as well as a novel flexible pneumatic cylinder capable of actuation in a variety of articulated positions. Various representative piping systems were used to successfully test locomotion and guidance of the system.
