This paper briefs on an overview of recent progress and development in humanoid robot, HanSaRam series. HanSaRam (HSR) is a humanoid robot undergoing continual design and development in the Robot Intelligence Technology (RIT) Laboratory at KAIST since 2,000. Currently HSR-VI, the latest version developed in 2,004, is under experiment for on-line gait generation and aperiodic motion generation. ...

We introduce a new five-parameter distribution called the beta exponentiated Gumbel (BEG) distribution that includes the beta Gumbel, exponentiated Gumbel and Gumbel distribution. Expressions for the distribution function, density function and rth moment of the new distribution and order statistics are obtained. We discuss estimation of the parameters by maximum liklelihood ...

In this paper we consider two related objects: singular positive semidefinite Hankel block–matrices and associated degenerate truncated matrix Hamburger moment problems. The description of all solutions of a degenerate matrix Hamburger moment problem is given in terms of a linear fractional transformation. The case of interest is the Hamburger moment problem whose Hankel block–matrix admits a p...

In this paper, we considered the half logistic model and derived a probability density function that generalized it. The cumulative distribution function, the $n^{th}$ moment, the median, the mode and the 100$k$-percentage points of the generalized distribution were established. Estimation of the parameters of the distribution through maximum likelihood method was accomplished with the aid of c...

This paper discusses a circuit family including a dependent switched capacitor (DSC). The DSC function is instantaneously short of one capacitor at the moment when its voltage reaches a threshold. The chaos generation can be guaranteed theoretically, We also consider a master-slave system. If there does not exist a homoclinic orbit in the master chaos attractor, it exhibits either in-phase or i...

In this chapter, the authors present the performance of multi-antenna selective combining decode-andforward (SC-DF) relay networks over independent and identically distributed (i.i.d) Nakagami-m fading channels. The outage probability, moment generation function, symbol error probability and average channel capacity are derived in closed-form using the Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) statistical ch...

This paper presents an analysis of the Dudley-James two-vortex flow, which inspired several laboratory-scale liquid-metal experiments, in order to better demonstrate its relation to astrophysical dynamos. A coordinate transformation splits the flow into components that are axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric relative to the induced magnetic dipole moment. The reformulation gives the flow the same ...

This is expanded from the original on behalf of Bill’s classes. We follow a stream of the history of positive matrices and positive functionals, as applied to algebraic sums of squares decompositions, with emphasis on the interaction between classical moment problems, function theory of one or several complex variables and modern operator theory. The second part of the survey focuses on recentl...

Having Polish spaces X, Y and Z we shall discuss the existence of an X × Yvalued random vector (ξ, η) such that its conditional distributions Kx = L(η | ξ = x) satisfy e(x,Kx) = c(x) or e(x,Kx) ∈ C(x) for some maps e : X × M1(Y) → Z, c : X → Z or multifunction C : X → 2 respectively. The problem is equivalent to the existence of universally measurable Markov kernel K : X → M1(Y) defined implici...
