The modern distribution industry demands improved efficiency in logistics to lower prices while maintaining product quality. However, the of picking (collecting commodities a warehouse), which accounts for large percentage total cost, has not significantly. In this study, we propose traveling route derivation method that allows warehouse layout be set arbitrarily. Specifically, combined A* and ...

We have studied grip force performance in a group of 10 patients who were in a stable state after implantation of bilateral stimulating electrodes in the subthalamic nuclei (Stn) to counter drug-resistant or drug-induced symptoms of advanced Parkinson's disease. The patients were required to use a precision grip to lift an object which recorded grip force development and lift dynamics. Lifting ...

The National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act protects less than ¼ of a percent the United States’ river miles, focusing on free-flowing rivers good water quality with outstandingly remarkable values for recreation, scenery, other unique attributes. It predates enactment Clean Water Act, yet includes clear anti-degradation principle, that pollution should be reduced eliminated designated rivers, in c...

This paper proposes a iterative visual recognition system for learning based randomized bin-picking. Since the configuration on randomly stacked objects while executing the current picking trial is just partially different from the configuration while executing the previous picking trial, we consider detecting the poses of objects just by using a part of visual image taken at the current pickin...
