Fuzzy interpolation property is among the most important properties of fuzzy inference systems. It has been showed that the normality plus Ruspini condition applying to the antecedent fuzzy sets is a sufficient condition with a high practical impact. Another important property is the monotone behavior of the resulting control function (after a defuzzification) derived from a monotone fuzzy rule...

We point out that the seemingly strong pseudorandom oracle preserving (PRO-Pr) property of hash function domain-extension transforms defined and implemented by Coron et. al. [12] can actually weaken our guarantees on the hash function, in particular producing a hash function that fails to be even collision-resistant (CR) even though the compression function to which the transform is applied is ...

This paper presents the utilization of inertial effect in damping-based posture control of a mobile manipulator. As a measure for redundancy resolution of a mobile manipulator, an effective inertia at the end effector in the operational space is proposed and investigated. By changing the effective inertia property via null-motion, we can get the reduced inertial property of the mobile manipulat...

This paper characterizes collision preserving padding rules and provides variants of Merkle-Damg̊ard (MD) which are having less or no overhead costs due to length. We first show that suffix-free property of padding rule is necessary as well as sufficient to preserve the collision security of MD hash function for an arbitrary domain {0, 1}∗. Knowing this, we propose a simple suffix-free padding r...

In this paper, we develop a new attack on Damg̊ard-Merkle hash functions, called the herding attack, in which an attacker who can find many collisions on the hash function by brute force can first provide the hash of a message, and later “herd” any given starting part of a message to that hash value by the choice of an appropriate suffix. We introduce a new property which hash functions should h...

In advanced robotics, there is still a strong need for a fast reactive collision avoidance computable in realtime in order to prevent the robot from hazardous situations during motion. Most of these situations occur due to unforeseen events (e.g. collision objects entering the workspace accidently) or incorrect remote operation (e.g. scenery misinterpretation during teleoperation). Handling of ...
