Traditional products working independently are no longer sufficient, since threats are continually gaining in complexity, diversity and performance; In order to proactively block such threats we need more integrated information security solution. To achieve this objective, we will analyze a real-world security platform, and focus on some key components Like, NAC, Firewall, and IPS/IDS then stud...

In this paper, a mobile robot control law for corridor navigation and wall-following, based on sonar and odometric sensorial information is proposed. The control law allows for stable navigation avoiding actuator saturation. The posture information of the robot travelling through the corridor is estimated by using odometric and sonar sensing. The control system is theoretically proved to be asy...

Background: Although major depressive disorder (MDD) also increases the risk of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) perpetration, poor mental health has been mostly conceptualized as a consequence of IPV victimization rather than a risk factor for IPV perpetration. Poor impulse control is another IPV risk factor. Building on a risk / risk framework, this study investigates additive and multiplicati...

This study implements an algorithm for the autonomous control of spinal alignment during sleep by the active adjustment of mechanical bed characteristics according to the adopted sleep posture. Bed systems were used that allow active control of the mechanical stiffness in eight comfort zones by means of separately adjustable actuators. Mattress indentation measurements provide the input to dete...

This paper introduces a human-derived humanoid control concept that allows voluntary movements with automatic posture control. The concept consists of a modular control architecture, where each DOF is served by one control module. The control modules are based on the DEC model (DEC, Disturbance Estimation and Compensation). The DEC model combines sensory-derived disturbance estimates for re-act...

Robustness to perturbation has been advocated as a key element to robot control and efforts in that direction are numerous. While in essence these approaches aim at “endowing robots with a flexibility similar to that displayed by humans”, few have actually looked at how humans react in the face of fast perturbations. We recorded the kinematic data from human subjects during grasping motions und...

This paper proposes the kinematic resolution method of CoM(center of mass) Jacobian with embedded motions and the design method of posture/walking controller for humanoid robots. The kinematic resolution of CoM Jacobian with embedded motions makes a humanoid robot balanced automatically during movement of all other limbs. Actually, it offers an ability of WBC(whole body coordination) to humanoi...

This position paper focuses on the problem of stabilization of underactuated and nonholonomic autonomous vehicles at a given posture. The stabilization problem for those systems represents a challenge for nonlinear control theory because the linearization of such systems is not controllable. In fact, as shown by Brockett [6], for this class of systems there does not exist a continuously differe...
