Home Energy Management System

General-purpose robots have been constructed by a central system managing all robot elements by using a single high performance controller. Through advances in semiconductor technology, however, robot system developers can choose several types of robot designs, such as distributed arrangement in a house environment. Robot systems, e.g., environmental robots, are an important topic in robotics. Standardized communications and device specifications are important in actually utilizing such robot system. A userfriendly framework is also important. In this paper, we propose RT middleware for an embedded controller, which is based on standardized specifications in the OMG (Object Management Group). We also introduce reference hardware for developed RT middleware. Last, the HEMS (Home Energy Management System) is shown as an example system using developed middleware.

In digital era, robots are becoming an integral part of human life due to their efficiency and high performance. In recent years, search and rescue robot systems are used tremendously in a natural disaster. Nowadays, many areas of the world are getting affected due to natural disasters. Disasters can be exceptional and unstoppable events that are either man-made or natural, such as building collapse, earthquakes, wildfires, and floods, etc. This witnesses the importance of search and rescue robot systems in the emergency field. In the emergency field, a variety of sensing and wireless technologies are used in remote and vision control. The use of these technologies, the rescuers instead of going inside in the ruined area, can control remotely search and rescue robot systems when natural calamity occurs. These robot systems have the ability to move and monitor in the ruined area as a result of natural disasters such as building collapse, earthquakes, wildfires, and floods. In this paper, we design a sensor-based multi-functional search and rescue robot system for use in emergency situations. The system consists of an Arduino Mega board, Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ board, servo motor, camera, Direct Current motor, motor driver module, stepper motor, Darlington Transistor Arrays, and ultrasonic sensor. The multi-functional search and rescue robot system has the ability to help the rescuers to search and show the ruined area from far away. The rescuers also could save their lives using this robot system. The main objective of this paper is to design a multi-functional, easy to control, microcontroller and Vision control based rescue robot system.

The objective of this paper is to obtain working functions for the legs of a myriapod robot from a kinetic energy point of view. The realization of the high performance of energy consumption is indispensable in the battery-based robot system. We introduce the cost of transport and reduce to the minimum problem of the cost of transport. The calculus of variations is applied to obtain governing equations and the functions for legs. We obtain optimal functions for legs in an octarupedal robot.

Display Systems

Force display systems are a kind of robot systems, which share the space with people while they are working, and which directly touch and display force-senses to their users. For such a robot system, it is important to estimate safety quantitatively and to assure mechanically safety. The safety can be assured by using MR actuator because MR actuator is one of clutch type actuators. And, the features of MR actuator are very preferable to those of ER actuator and other clutch type actuators, to improve the performance of force display systems. In this study, we developed an MR actuator with low inertia, high torque/inertia ratio and high responsibility. Then, a 2-D force display system using the MR actuator was developed. The characteristics of the MR actuator that are low inertia, high torque/inertia ratio and high responsibility contribute to improve the performance of force display systems.
