For this purpose, the ability to predict the future state of a robot would be effective. On the other hand, the future state of a robot varies infinitely if it depends on its current action. Therefore, it is difficult to predict only the future state. Thus, it is important to simultaneously predict the state and the action that the robot will adopt. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prediction of the advanced future state and action of a robot. In this paper, the results of the study are reported and methods that allow a robot to decide its appropriate behavior quickly, according to the predicted future state are discussed. As an application example for evaluating the proposed method, the inverted pendulum model is used and the prediction results are compared with the robot’s actual responses. Then, two methods will be discussed for predicting the robot’s state and action. To perform state and action prediction, two methods are used, firstly the Online SVR (Support Vector Regression) and secondly Online SVR and the LQR (Linear Quadratic Regulator). </span>

This chapter describes “due process,” a Constitutional restriction on governmental actions that impact individuals, in the context of public health. It outlines the doctrines of procedural and substantive due process, including the legal tests that courts apply to decide whether individuals’ due process rights have been violated. It uses examples from Supreme Court cases that have defined due process in the context of public health, including those that struggle to define the scope of reproductive rights. It also examines two cases where public health principles were raised as a justification for governmental action: one about involuntary sterilization and one about Ebola. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of the “state action doctrine” that defines which public health actors may be challenged on due process grounds.

This Article analyzes the development and complexities of the antitrust state action doctrine and the Local Government Antitrust Act as these doctrines apply to both “municipalities” and private entities. The restructuring of a public hospital is used as a model to facilitate the antitrust analysis. The restructuring model, which typically involves the leasing of a hospital facility by a public entity to a private nonprofit corporation, offers the unique opportunity to compare the different standards employed under the state action doctrine and the Local Government Antitrust Act. As a practical matter, the Article provides a framework for a public hospital to evaluate the impact of corporate restructuring on its antitrust liability exposure and to develop strategies to minimize antitrust risks.
