This paper presents a localization system developed for estimating the pose, i.e., position and orientation, of an omni-directional wheeled mobile robot operating in indoor structured environments. The developed system uses a combination of relative and absolute localization methods for pose estimation. Odometry serves as the relative localization method providing pose estimates through the integration of measurements obtained from shaft encoders on the robot’s drive motors. Absolute localization is achieved with a novel GPS-like system that performs localization of active beacons mounted on the mobile robot based on distance measurements to receivers fixed at known positions in the robot’s indoor workspace. A simple data fusion algorithm is used in the localization system to combine the pose estimates from the two localization methods and achieve improved performance. Experimental results demonstrating the performance of the developed system at localizing the omni-directional robot in an indoor environment are presented.

SUMMARYThe positioning of a wheeled robot is an imperative manipulation problem in mobile robotics. Odometry is a familiar method for determining the relative position of a mobile robot. It comprises the detection of a set of kinematic parameters that permit reconstructing the robot's absolute position and orientation starting from the wheels' encoder measurements. This paper deals with the determination of better relative localization of a mobile robot by means of odometry by considering the influence of parameters namely total weight, speed, diameter of wheel, and width of wheel. Experiments have been conducted based on L9 orthogonal array suggested in Taguchi method to obtain the optimum condition. A mathematical model has also been developed for the mobile robot with the help of MINITAB software.

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the effects of hemodialysis catheters on the survival of subsequent arteriovenous fistulas, according to the relative localization to the catheters. Methods A total of 201 patients who initiated dialysis therapy using a hemodialysis catheter were eligible for this retrospective study. Arteriovenous fistulas were created on the nondominant upper extremity after the placement of hemodialysis catheters. The catheters were removed after four consecutive successful dialyses via arteriovenous fistulas. The effective factors on arteriovenous fistula failure were determined in and the prognostic factors for survival were modeled by regression analysis. Results The relative placement of catheters as ipsi- or contralateral was found to significantly affect the survival of the arteriovenous fistulas. The overall survival was significantly longer in the contralateral arteriovenous fistula group (778.7 ± 28.8 vs. 247.3 ± 26.1 days; p < 0.001). The independent predictors of arteriovenous fistula survival were found to be relative side of arteriovenous fistula and hemodialysis catheter, age, and the presence of hypertension in multivariate analyses. Conclusion This study showed that ipsilateral localization of the catheters and arteriovenous fistulas negatively affect the cumulative arteriovenous fistula survival. Therefore, to improve vascular access survival, side of catheters or arteriovenous fistulas should always be considered.

Complex behavior is rarely obtained using unsupervised learning because of the enormous search space. To reduce search space, a hierarchical behavior structure is effective. We proposed the hierarchical behavior controller, which consists of three types of modules - a behavior coordinator, behavior controller, and feedback controller. We also propose a learning algorithm to for a behavior coordinator and behavior controller consisting of subcoordinators and subcontrollers, This algorithm selects a deficient by evaluating each subcoordinator or subcontroller using multiple regression analysis based on previously obtained evaluation values. This reduces the search area and learning time by avoiding trying to tune good subcoordinators or subcontrollers. The hierarchical behavior controller is applied to controlling a seven-link brachiation robot, which moves dynamically from branch to branch swinging its body like a gibbon.

Abstract. Depression in older adults can be explained by Erikson’s theory on the conflict of ego integrity versus hopelessness. The study investigated the relationship between past acceptance, hopelessness, death anxiety, and depressive symptoms in 100 older (≥50 years) adults. The total Beck Hopelessness (BHS), Geriatric Depression (GDS), and Accepting the Past (ACPAST) subscale scores of the depressed group were higher, while the total Death Anxiety (DAS) and Reminiscing the Past (REM) subscale scores of both groups were similar. A regression analysis revealed that the BHS, DAS, and ACPAST predicted the GDS. Past acceptance seems to be important for ego integrity in older adults.
