Verification tool for Vienna Development Method (BWDM) is a test case generation tool for the VDM++ specification. The existing BWDM could cause a combinatorial explosion of the generated test cases. To reduce the number of test cases, there is Pairwise Independent Combinatorial Testing Tool (PICT):...

Soil compaction is a form of soil degradation which causes soil erosion, drainage difficulties, and loss of nutrients. To mitigate this issue, in agricultural farms several methods have been adopted. In this paper, the preliminary study of a locomotion system with adjustable contact patches is proposed....

This paper completes the structure design of the feed process for the small rectification experimental unit. According to the process requirements, the overall scheme of the detection and control system and the main parameters are designed, and the type of the instrument is selected. The system hardware...

Under the trend of intelligent industrial control systems, it is very important to prevent network hackers from invading the system to attack devices. In particular, today’s hackers have multiple attacks and the number of attacks has increased year-by-year. How to stop hackers from attacking the system...

In military organization, the synchronization in the parade is important for showing their majesty. However, we do not have any quantitative evaluation methods for the parade. In this research, as a first step of the quantitative evaluation for the parade, we propose an evaluation method focusing on...

This paper presents a new spherical mobile robot driven by single omni wheel. The physical model is that an arc track is built inside the sphere shell and can rotate around a spherical diameter freely. It supports one driving omni wheel and keeps the driving omni wheel touching the inside of the sphere...

This paper describes the influence on operation input which is given by a safe driving support system for an electric wheelchair. A wheelchair is rapidly introduced as a mobility for elderly people who has disabilities on walking. Along with that, collision accidents of the wheelchair also increase and...

Virtual Reality (VR) technology is widely used in digital cities, industrial simulation, training, etc. where the environment modeling is a necessary component. Comparing with the difficulty to build the three dimension (3D) environment with the conventional methods, the Structure from Motion (SFM) method...

The middle-size league soccer competition is an important RoboCup event designed to promote advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics. In recent years, soccer robots using a dribbling mechanism, through which the ball is controlled using two driving rollers, have been adopted by teams...

In Japan, students study various ways of understanding 3D drawings in junior high school-level technical education, high school-level industrial education, and university-level engineering education. However, without an understanding of trigonometry, reading the drawings is difficult. Moreover, drawing...

Aiming at the problems of low stability and limited application conditions in traditional augmented reality, Unity 3D software is applied to realize augmented reality by combining with Vuforia SDK and EasyAR SDK (Software Development Kit). The developed results can be used on mobile terminal and augmented...

We have developed a real-time system for expressing emotion as a portrait selected according to the facial expression while writing a message. The portrait is decided by a hair style, a facial outline, and a cartoon of facial expression. The image signal is analyzed by the system using image processing...

The autonomous robot systems of the future will be teams of robots with complementary specialisms. At any instant robot interactions determine relational structures, and sequences of these structures describe the team dynamics as trajectories through space and time. These structures can be represented...
