Robot Systems

With research on human-assist robot systems increasingly using distributed sensors and actuators, robots are expected to provide appropriate real-time real-life support to users. Ambient intelligence, an approach important in realizing human-robot coexistence, helps robot devices adapt and act in real environments, since ambient intelligence is a technology basic to providing such abilities. Flexible, reliable system integration based on environment size and purpose is important in realizing ambient intelligence. The 8 papers in this special issue, all of which explore cutting-edge research, present the latest in ambient intelligence and its applications. The first three papers propose real-world observation in ambient intelligence. One example of major research topics in observation functions is the localization of human beings and objects, including mobile robots. Object recognition also is an important issue in supporting human beings. Papers 4 and 5 cover observation system design issues, including optimizing sensor arrangements to classify activities and for flexibly and efficiently integrating multiple distributed sensors. The last three papers discuss ways to automatically build ontology to help robots understand user intent, frameworks for flexibly and scalably integrating distributed robot technology elements, and strategy and mechanism design methodology for robot systems transferring and storing objects in home environments. We thank the authors for their invaluable contributions in submitting their latest research results to this issue. We are grateful to the reviewers for their precious time and effort. We also thank the Editorial Board members of the Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics for helping make this issue possible.

Superparamagnetic Properties

Superparamagnetic particles were widely used in medical applications as well as for magnetic sensors and actuators. Generally, the size of the particles is in the range of 10–20 nm. To use such particles in large-scale applications, a simple processing as well as the use of commercially available particles is required. Therefore superparamagnetic nanoparticles available on the market were incorporated in flexible polymer films and the magnetic properties of the films were investigated. At ambient temperature no significant hysteresis was observed, indicating the superparamagnetic properties. Films containing up to 25% nanoparticles were prepared. The films show a saturation magnetization of 13.8 Am2/kg and a coercivity of 7 Oe at ambient temperature.

A Planar square stack coupled inductor coils on silicon substrate has been fabricated using MEMS technology. The fabrication process utilized a simple, cost effective process technique as well as CMOS compatible resulting to a reproducible and good controlled process. The basic characteristics of the coupled inductors were discussed in wide range of operating frequency. The analysis results showed that the geometry of the inductor coil strongly affects the basic characteristics of the coils. The results of the study have promised a good prospect for the development of fully integrated planar magnetic field generator for sensing and actuating purposes.
