Currently, the Stewart Platform is used in different engineering applications (machine tool technology, underwater research, entertainment, medical applications surgery, and others) due to its low mechatronic cost implementation as an alternative to conventional robots. The current trend of using parallel manipulators has created the need for developing open supervision and control architecture...

In our continuing quest for knowledge, robots are powerful tools for accessing environments too dangerous or too remote for human exploration. Early systems functioned under close human supervision, effectively limited to executing preprogrammed tasks. However, as exploration moves to regions where communication is ineffective or unviable, robots will need to carry out complex tasks without hum...

Program Supervision aims at automating the use of complex programs, independently of any particular application domain. Program Supervision Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS) offer original techniques to plan and control program processing activities. The distribution of such systems becomes essential because real applications imply more and more participants on various sites. It allows either to si...

OBJECTIVE Thousands of American children are injured or killed each year as pedestrians, but behavioral factors in pedestrian injury etiology remain poorly understood. We examined the roles of children's individual differences (age, gender, and inhibitory control) and parental supervision in children's pedestrian behaviors. METHODS Using the pretend road method, a sample of 85 children and 26...

The objective of our work is to study various distribution methods for knowledge-based systems (KBS) allowing access to (several) remote knowledge bases as well as remote auxiliary programs or inference engines. In particular, we are interested in knowledge-based systems for a task named program supervision, with an application to medical imagery. Program supervision KBSs allow to automation th...

the present study was conducted to examine the relationship between the self-supervision and the self-efficacy of iranian efl teachers and also the relationship between the self-supervision and the self-efficacy of intermediate adult learners individually. to this end, 40 efl teachers and 55 intermediate adult learners were selected from two branches of kish language institute. in this study, “...
