چکیده
− Future society must be utopia in which every constituent can share equal welfare. In particular, it should be a society where the elderly and the physically handicapped can lead their lives happily along with the normal. In order to realize such a welfare-driven society, it is essential to build an infrastructure with a variety of facilities based on advanced technology or devices and systems that are human friendly. To comply with the needs of human beings to lead more convenient and safe lives, human-friendly and effective man-machine interaction systems are desired for the human being and robots to coexist and collaborate. Of various areas of welfare robot systems, the following four issues will be discussed in this paper: (1) intelligent residential space system for the weakelderly/handicapped, (2) state-of-the-art medical robot system, (3) entertainment/educational robot system including soccer robots, and (4) disaster control and rescue robot.

Planning Robot Motion in a 2-D Region with Unknown Obstacles
The purpose of this paper is to present several algorithms for planning the motion of a robot in a two-dimensional region having obstacles whose shapes and locations are unknown. The convergence and efficiency of the algorithms are discussed and upper bounds for the lengths of paths generated by the different algorithms are derived and compared.

This article intends to estimate the optimal value of investment and human capital in R&D sector of Iranian economy using an augmented endogenous growth model. To do so, two issues have been studied. First, an endogenous growth model has been extended to include investment in R&D as an independent variable. In the framework of this model, in order to determine the optimal value of investment an...

متن کاملInvestigating the Welfare and Environmental Effects of Research and Development Subsidies and Energy Consumption Taxation to Reduce Air Pollution in Iran
Recently, sustainable development and policy on improving the quality of the environment have attracted economists. The use of fossil fuel tax and subsidies to research and development are among the tools that can reduce air pollution by creating economic incentives and relative price adjustments. In this regard, the present study uses a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model to examine env...
