SUMMARYAs various robots are anticipated to coexist with humans in the near future, safe manipulation in unknown, cluttered environments becomes an important issue. Manipulation in an unknown environment, however, has been proven to be NP-Hard and the risk of unexpected human--robot collision hampers the dawning of the era of human--robot coexistence. We propose a non-contact-based sensitive skin as a means to provide safe manipulation hardware and interleaving planning between the workspace and the configuration space as software to solve manipulation problems in unknown, crowded environments. Novelty of the paper resides in demonstration of real time and yet complete path planning in an uncertain and crowded environment. To that end, we introduce the framework of the sensor-based interleaving planner (SBIP) whereby search completeness and safe manipulation are both guaranteed in cluttered environments. We study an interleaving mechanism between sensation in a workspace and execution in the corresponding configuration space for real-time planning in uncertain environments, thus the name interleaving planner implies.Applications of the proposed system include manipulators of a humanoid robot, surgical manipulators, and robotic manipulators working in hazardous and uncertain environments such as underwater, unexplored planets, and unstructured indoor spaces.

RFID-enabled business models are proposed in this chapter to innovate supply chain management. The models demonstrated benefits from automatically captured real-time information in supply chain operations. The resulting visibility creates chances to operate businesses in more responsive, dynamic, and efficient scenarios. The actual initiative of such novel RFID enabled applications is therefore to encourage intelligent supply chain management to dynamically respond changes and events in real-time. As the RFID implementation costs are continuously decreasing, it is expected that more novel business models would be inspired by the technological advancement to foster more intelligent supply chains in the near future.

Remarkable Progress

The dense real-time earthquake monitoring network established in Taiwan is a strong base for the development of the earthquake early warning (EEW) system. In remarkable progress over the last decades, real-time earthquake warning messages are sent within 20 sec after an event using the regional EEW system with a virtual subnetwork approach. An onsite EEW approach using the first 3 sec of P waves has been developed and under online experimentation. Integrating regional and onsite systems may enable EEW messages to be issued within 10 sec after an event occurred in the near future. This study mainly discusses the methodology for determining the magnitude and ground motion of an event.

CPUs and GPUs have been evolving rapidly over time regarding their capabilities and processing power. This has opened many new possibilities for interactive and real time systems, such as more sophisticated scene realism, more precise and complex artificial intelligence, and better physical simulations. However, these improvements come at a cost: increase of energy consumption. Energy management in interactive and real time architectures have not been receiving much attention over the years, but this issue is likely to become important in the near future due to the increasing energy demand and consumption required by top-notch game applications(especially regarding the mobile and portable consoles). In this paper we introduce the concept of intelligent energy management for games and interactive systems and address the aforementioned issue through these contributions: 1) an investigation of works related to energy management (in general); 2) implementations of feasibility tests for energy management on GPUs; and 3) a novel game architecture with energy management, using multiple GPUs.

In this paper, we present experimental data of static fractals and compare the results with theoretical analysis obtained using dynamic particle simulation. The fractal simulator presented in this manuscript is pioneer work and it is the base of the future concrete and industrial applications. We have examined sintered ceramic samples formed using several different additives, as fabricated using various parameters, sintering temperature and time. SEM analyses were performed on samples as a part of the experimental characterization procedure. Based on microstructures, sets of points have been selected as a primary database input for the theoretical-experimental simulation to model the processes that describe the experiment. For all grain and pore analyses, the fractal nature is recognized as a matter of substantial influence on material characteristics. All of our experimental and theoretical-experimental procedures are based on the construct that reconstruction of the grain and pore fractal nature is of enormous importance for microstructure property prognoses. The method presented here can be used to simplify and simulate, in real time, the interaction of a few thousand electrically charged particles possessing different masses through formulations based on Maxwell?s electromagnetic equations. Particles in simulation interact with alternating (or static) electromagnetic fields and with static ceramics surface at the same time. All values are treated numerically. The fractal simulator consists of two components, a structure fractal generator, and field simulator. The functions for particle motion can be implemented and changed within the program in real time. The algorithm is written in the Delphi programming environment. The main result of this paper describes a quite new approach in the analysis of material microstructure properties towards programming-prognoses of the final properties of ceramic materials using the fractal nature within the fractal field simulator that generates structures, grains, and pores. The new simulator algorithm is developed as the important tool for the realization of the much ambitious project - simulation and realization of the Tesla?s Fountain in ceramics. The concrete results will follow with this project realization in near future.

Managing the COVID-19 pandemic in the middle of the events requires real-time monitoring of its evolution to perform analyses of containment actions and to project near future scenarios. This work proposes a scheme to monitor the temporal evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic using the time series of its total number of confirmed cases in a given region. The monitored parameter is the spread rate obtained from this time series (day-1) expressed in %/day. The scheme's capability is verified using the epidemic data from China and South Korea. Its projection capability is shown for Italy and United States with scenarios for the ensuing 30 days from April 2nd, 2020. The spread rate (relative rate of change of the time series) is very sensitive to sudden changes in the epidemic evolution and can be used to monitor in real-time the effectiveness of containment actions. The logarithm of this variable allows identifying clear trends of the evolution of the COVID-10 epidemic in these countries. The spread rate calculated from the number of confirmed cases of infection is interpreted as a probability per unit of time of virus infection and containment actions. Its product with the number of confirmed cases of infections yields the number of new cases per day. The stabilization and control of the epidemic for China and South Korea appear to occur for values of this parameter below 0.77 %/day (doubling time of 90 days).
