We developed a rat-robot system based on optogenetic techniques for the precise freezing behavior. Rat-robots were built up by optogenetic modulation at the dlPAG of rat brains. We conducted track navigation for the rat-robots and found they were able to exhibit precise freezing at given positions with high spatiotemporal accuracy. Different types of optical stimulation were compared and their influence on the rat-robots was investigated. Furthermore we recorded the neural electrical activity in real time during the optical stimulation. The system could be used to explore the mechanism of freezing behaviors and to build up a more integrated rat-robot navigation system based on optical modulations.

This paper presents an open architecture robot control system for lower level manipulator control such as motion control or force control. Basically, the system consists of three elements: an industrial robot manipulator called A-HAND, a servo computer with the motor driver units, and a host computer. The system is called ARS/A (Aoba Robot System for A-HAND). The robot and the servo computer are regarded as an independent robotic module with a standard interface to the host computer, from which it accepts a set of real time commands to control the robot. Any computer having an interface may be connected to the robotic module as a host computer. To design the set of real time commands is a crucial issue because it determines the capability and flexibility of the robot system. This paper proposes a set of real time commands which are needed for lower level control experiments. The set was found through trials. A real time monitor called MOS/A (Motor Operating System for A-HAND) to process the commands to control the robot are implemented on the servo computer. The MOS commands are defined as functions of a C language on the host computer. The C language is called ARC/A (Aoba Robot C Language for A-HAND) to have other robot control utility functions such as graphic simulation functions as well as the MOS functions. Sample programs show that ARC/A is an efficient programming tool for lower level control.

AbstractThe capability to use voice commands to control robots offer an intriguing possibility to increase the efficiency with which robotic operators may give commands. This study consists of two experiments that investigate how robot operators prefer to speak to robots in a search-and-find task and to evaluate which mode of speaking generates the greatest performance. Experiment 1 revealed that operators used selective exocentric references when available to direct a confederate acting as a robot. Experiment 2 revealed that with the same exocentric references operators showed improved performance while directing an actual robot as compared with egocentric-only commands. Experiment 2 also revealed that performing a dual task was less detrimental to performance when using exocentric commands as compared to egocentric commands. Suggestions for improvements to a robot control system that follow from these results include developing recognition of structural properties of an indoor environment and improving map incorporation.

The purpose of this research is to implement the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method in combat robots so it can be directed to shoot targets well. The robot control system uses remote control and autonomous. In the autonomous robot system, ANN back propagation method is applied, where the weight value variable depends on ultrasonic sensor, GPS and camera. The microcontroller system will process automatically depending on the sensor input. Output data is used to direct the robot to the target, tracking and shooting. Robot is used chain wheel systems and weapons that used pistol types. The riffle is mounted on the robot can be moved mechanically azimuth and the elevation towards the target then triggered mechanically by the riffle through the activation of data relays from the microcontroller. Thus, the backpropagation method can be applied to robots so it can be functioned autonomously.
