This paper presents a design for a reconfigurable packaging system that can handle cartons of different shape and sizes and is amenable to ever changing demands of packaging industries for perfumery and cosmetic products. The system takes structure of a multi-fingered robot hand, which can provide fine motions, and dexterous manipulation capability that may be required in a typical packaging-assembly line. The paper outlines advanced modeling and simulation undertaken to design the packaging system and discusses the experimental work carried out. The new packaging system is based on the principle of reconfigurability, that shows adaptability to simple as well as complex carton geometry. The rationale of developing such a system is presented with description of its human equivalent. The hardware and software implementations are also discussed together with directions for future research.

"CyberAIMs stands for Cyber Agents’ Interactive Modeling and Simulation. We designed this tool in order to use it as an educational tool to teach Master students in a Cyber security course. This paper aims to describe the model and explain the design choices behind CyberAIMs in terms of associating them with the emerging concepts within cyber security curriculum, namely adversarial and systems thinking. The preliminary results indicate that the current distribution of values and entities allows most of the defense agents to avoid losing all their resources to their attack counterparts. We intend to use this tool as part of a lab with students in Information Security and further extend our target users, by including others who need training in adversarial and systems thinking. We conclude by providing rough results from running simulations with the tool and giving further directions of our future research, in order to improve the usability and level of detail for this tool."

Humanoid robot hands are expected to replace human hands in the dexterous manipulation of objects. This paper presents a review of humanoid robot hand research and development. Humanoid hands are also applied to multifingered haptic interfaces, hand rehabilitation support systems, sEMG prosthetic hands, telepalpation systems, etc. The developed application systems in our group are briefly introduced.

Pros And Cons

Modeling and simulation of the morphology evolution of immiscible polymer blends during injection molding is crucial for predicting and tailoring the products’ performance. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art progress in the multiscale modeling and simulation of injection molding of polymer blends. Technological development of the injection molding simulation on a macroscale was surveyed in detail. The aspects of various models for morphology evolution on a mesoscale during injection molding were discussed. The current scale-bridging strategies between macroscopic mold-filling flow and mesoscopic morphology evolution, as well as the pros and cons of the solutions, were analyzed and compared. Finally, a comprehensive summary of the above models is presented, along with the outlook for future research in this field.

Comprehensive Literature Review

This paper presents the findings from the survey of articles published on the assembly line balancing problems (ALBPs) during 2014-2018. Before proceeding a comprehensive literature review, the ineffectiveness of the previous ALBP classification structures is discussed and a new classification scheme based on the layout configurations of assembly lines is subsequently proposed. The research trend in each layout of assembly lines is highlighted through the graphical presentations. The challenges in the ALBPs are also pinpointed as a technical guideline for future research works.

Since its inception in 1997, RoboCup has developed into a truly unique and long-standing research community advancing robotics and artificial intelligence through various challenges, benchmarks, and test fields. The main purposes of this article are to evaluate the research and development achievements so far and to identify new challenges and related new research issues. Unlike other robot competitions and research conferences, RoboCup eliminates the boundaries between pure research activities and the development of full system designs with hardware and software implementations at a site open to the public. It also creates specific scientific and technological research and development challenges to be addressed. In this article, we provide an overview of RoboCup, including its league structure and related research issues. We also review recent studies across several research categories to show how participants (called RoboCuppers) address the research and development challenges before, during, and after the annual competitions. Among the diversity of research issues, we highlight two unique aspects of the challenges: the platform design of the robots and the game evaluations. Both of these aspects contribute to solving the research and development challenges of RoboCup and verifying the results from a common perspective (i.e., a more objective view). Finally, we provide concluding remarks and discuss future research directions.

Ethical Implications

The field of public health increasingly utilizes computational models. In this context, computer scientists are confronted with moral dilemmas like those around modeling the distribution of scarce resources. However, there is a lack of research on the ethical implications of computer modeling and simulation (M&S). In this paper I aim to show that taking a transdisciplinary ethical perspective is useful when analyzing these implications. The practice of modeling geospatial distribution of automated external defibrillators for sudden cardiac arrest treatment is used as a case study. It is shown that there exists no consensus on what theory of justice should underlie choices in computer M&S of public health resources, and that professionals struggle with building equity considerations into their models. The example highlights new ethical consequences arising at the nexus of public health and M&S. Computer models and simulations are not morally neutral, but have the effect of making those involved in their creation more responsible for making just choices. For some moral dilemmas, such as those related to distributive justice, there may be no correct solution that can be readily modeled. Promoting professional responsibility through a code of ethics will not help prescribe a right course of action in these situations. I suggest therefore that procedural justice and deliberation with a range of stakeholders is needed to take ethical considerations into account “by design” when developing computer models and simulations for public health policy. Future research should reflect on the content and practical procedures for these deliberations.
