Electronic musical instruments consist of some kind of sensor/input system, software to interpret the sensed data, and sound synthesis. Electronic instruments should provide intimate and satisfying control over sound comparable to the control that an expert musician has over a fine acoustic instrument. These elements are necessary for such electronic instruments: low latency and virtually no ji...

We designed concert scope headphones that are equipped with a projector, an inclination sensor on the top of the headphones, and a distance sensor on the outside right headphone. We previously developed sound scope headphones that enable users to change the sound mixing depending on their head direction. However, the system could not handle images. In contrast, our headphones let the user liste...

The authors developed a new uniform dressing/undressing detection system. This system utilizes intra-body communication technology in the form of a sensor to detect whether the uniform is on or not. Problems associated with conventional uniform dressing/undressing detection systems using ultrasonic sensors are eliminated owing to the use of intra-body communication technology. High practicality...

Sound source localization is a well-researched subject with applications ranging from localizing sniper fire in urban battlefields to cataloging wildlife in rural areas. One critical application is the localization of noise pollution sources in urban environments, due to an increasing body of evidence linking noise pollution to adverse effects on human health. Current noise mapping techniques o...

It is endeavoring for sea safety and fire[1] at sea prevention solidifying control of standard technology and safety supervision aspect in IMO[2] but sea accident and ship fire are happening continuously. Because using Robot in artistic talent of ship in this treatise, studied that correspond to Risk and manage. Attach fire perception sensor for Robot's Risk confrontation, and because using inf...

Introduction In assembly, objects have to be brought in contact with other objects. In order to deal with the imprecisions in the geometry of the mating objects and in the manipulating system, a lot of research concentrates on describing assembly tasks using contact states and on finding corresponding algorithms to detect contact state transitions or even to determine the current contact state ...
