| 20110218453 | Machine control device, machine system, machine control method, and recording medium storing machine control program - A machine control device includes: first decoders for estimating, from brain signal information, which one of body movements a user performs or images, based on learning using pairs of movements performed by the user and brain signal information, the body movements going toward one of first to nth body postures; second decoders for estimating from the brain signal information, an correct rate on the body movement estimation, based on learning using pairs of correct rates of the estimation of body movements and the brain signal information; and electric prosthetic arm control section for controlling an electric prosthetic arm to change stepwise its posture between first to nth postures via at least one intermediate posture therebetween, the first to nth postures corresponding to the first to nth body postures. The first decoders perform the estimation only when the estimated correct rate exceeds a threshold. When the first decoders estimate that the body movements goes toward a body posture different from the current one, the electric prosthetic arm control section changes the posture of the machine by performing a part of substeps of change from one of the first to nth body postures toward the posture associated with the body posture toward which the estimated body movement goes. This configuration allows a user to control a brain-signal-based machine to perform a natural movement without a long-term training and much brain information. | 09-08-2011 |

| 20090109901 | WIRELESS DEVICE WHICH SELECTS ROUTES EXCLUDING LOOP ROUTES AND A MESH NETWORK INCLUDING THE SAME - In wireless communication using links with neighbor wireless devices, a wireless device calculates ratios of throughput to maximum throughput for the links and calculates the costs of the links using the calculated ratios. Then the wireless device finds, for each destination, a route in which the sum of such calculated link costs is the minimum, and sends a packet to the destination using the route. As a consequence, routing can be done according to an isotonic, easy-to-implement routing protocol. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20080312772 | MOTION CONTROL SYSTEM, MOTION CONTROL METHOD, AND MOTION CONTROL PROGRAM - The present invention provides a motion control system control a motion of a second motion body by considering an environment which a human contacts and a motion mode appropriate to the environment, and an environment which a robot actually contacts. The motion mode is learned based on an idea that it is sufficient to learn only a feature part of the motion mode of the human without a necessity to learn the others. Moreover, based on an idea that it is sufficient to reproduce only the feature part of the motion mode of the human without a necessity to reproduce the others, the motion mode of the robot is controlled by using the model obtained from the learning result. Thereby, the motion mode of the robot is controlled by using the motion mode of the human as a prototype without restricting the motion mode thereof more than necessary. | 12-18-2008 |
