In order to find effective movements on an office chair for preventing back pain, the paper measures EMG (electromyogram) signal and evaluates cognitive test. Core muscles of subjects on a balance ball are measured when there are forced movement and voluntary movement of the ball. The measurements show the forced movement and discontinuity movement on the ball is more effective in the meaning of muscle activity. The paper also studies the effect of movement with the balance ball on the efficiency of office workers. This is because, even if the movement is good for preventing back pain, it is not desirable to reduce work efficiency. Two cognitive tests, addition test and flanker test, are used to investigate the efficiency of office workers when the movements with the balance ball and no movements with normal chair in the view points of work reduction rate and correct answer rate. The results show the efficiency of office workers is almost the same as the case of movements with the balance ball and no movements with normal chair. Totally the study shows effective movements on the balance ball which activate the core muscle activity efficiently. It also shows the movement does not reduce the office work efficiency.

This paper proposes a friction model for friction compensation of harmonic drive gearings. The model is composed of parallel viscoelasto-plastic elements and rate-dependent viscosity. Comparative experiments between the proposed model and the Generalized Maxwell slip (GMS) model have shown that the proposed model is advantageous especially in the region of presliding displacement. This paper also presents parameter identification method for the model.

A high-fidelity attitude estimation technique is proposed for mobile robots which move irregularly in wide space, where heterogeneous inertial sensors are combined in a complementary way in the frequency domain. While the working frequency ranges of each sensor are not necessarily complementary, inverse models of them compensate the sensor dynamics and enlarge their effective working ranges. The problems to be addressed are that the sensor dynamics displays a highly nonlinear property in the case of 3D rotation, and, even if it is approximated by a linear system, the inverse models of them tend to be non-proper and unstable. An idea is to decouple it into the dynamics compensation part approximated by a linear transfer function and the strictly nonlinear coordinate transformation part. By inserting the designed filter before the coordinate transformation, the total transfer function is guaranteed to become proper and stable. Particularly, the differential operator of a high-pass filter cancels the integral operator included in the dynamics compensation of the rate gyroscope, which causes instability.

This paper proposes a planning method for time-optimal trajectories of mobile robots. A dynamical model for two independently driven wheels type mobile robots is derived. Using an idea of path parameter, optimal trajectory for specified path of mobile robot is easily obtained considering dynamical constraints such as driving torques and velocities. An efficient collision-free near-time-optimal trajectory planning method is proposed using a local optimization method and a global search method of initial paths. The B-spline parameter optimization method is used as a local optimization. Some numerical examples show an effectiveness of the proposed planning method.
