Ego Noise Reduction for Hose-Shaped Rescue Robot Combining Independent Low-Rank Matrix Analysis and Multichannel Noise Cancellation

In this paper, we present an ego noise reduction method for a hose-shaped rescue robot, developed for search and rescue operations in large-scale disasters. It is used to search for victims in disaster sites by capturing their voices with its microphone array. However, ego noises are mixed with voices, and it is difficult to differentiate them from a call for help from a disaster victim. To sol...

Using Context-based Statistical Models to Promote the Quality of Voice Conversion Systems

This article aims to examine methods of optimizing GMM-based voice conversion systems performance in which GMM method is introduced as the basic method for improvement of voice conversion systems performance. In the current methods, due to using a single conversion function to convert all speech units and subsequent spectral smoothing arising from statistical averaging, we will observe quality ...

Design and control of a mobile hyper-redundant urban search and rescue robot

In this work we introduce a new concept of a search and rescue robotic system that is composed of a hyper-redundant robot (HRR) which is mounted on a mobile base. This system is capable not only of inspecting areas reachable by the mobile base, but also of inspecting unreachable areas such as small cracks and pipes, using the camera and sensors mounted on its end-effector. The HRR is composed o...

Conceptual Design of a Gait Rehabilitation Robot

Gait rehabilitation using body weight support on a treadmill is a recommended rehabilitation technique for neurological injuries, such as spinal cord injury. In this paper, a new robotic orthosis is presented for treadmill training. In the presented design the criteria such as low inertia of robot components, backdrivability, high safety and degrees of freedom based on human walking are conside...

Active Hose: an Artificial Elephant's Nose with Maneuverability for Rescue Operation

This paper proposes both the design concept and the driving mechanism of a flexible robot with multiple degrees of freedom to dive into debris. Up to now, several kinds pneumatic robots with flexibility have been developed, however, they couldn’t perform multiple degrees of freedom with high bending moment. Then a new type of robot, called “Active Hose,” is proposed here, which has multiple deg...
