Recently, the ongoing labor shortage, driven by a declining birthrate and aging population, necessitates more efficient labor solutions. In this context, drones have garnered significant attention due to their high mobility and efficiency, leading to their expanding use in various business applications. However, the capabilities of a single drone are often limited by constraints such as size, powe...Show More
Social Internet of Things (SIoT) is an emerging application area that supports the spread of multimedia information. Detecting critical nodes based on the results of influence prediction is the main solution to maximizing the information propagation in SIoT. However, while the tasks of predicting an influence probability and a cascade size are both critical in influence prediction, there has not y...Show More
This article presents a method of suppressing packet losses and exogenous disturbances for a networked control system (NCS) subject to network-introduced delays. The NCS has two feedback loops: 1) a local one and 2) a main one. The local feedback loop contains a state observer, an equivalent-input-disturbance (EID) estimator, and state feedback. It is used to ensure prompt disturbance suppression....Show More

Socially isolated and exposed to lonely situations affect states of health and lifespan. Under these circumstances, the social distance caused by COVID-19 is accelerating people's isolation. Therefore, we should consider how we prepare for the post COVID-19 era. One of the solutions is the introduction of robot partners as community centric system. In this paper, we show the current state about ou...Show More
Influence maximization aims at detecting the top-k influential users in online social networks. Almost all previous models of influence spread cannot simultaneously incorporate users’ attitudes, interactions between users, and dynamic influences. However, in this study, we established a new model of influence spread via fluid dynamics, which reveals the time-evolving process for influence spread. ...Show More
Recently, various robot systems have been developing. And the social necessity of the robot system is gradually emphasized, especially in the service industry have an intention to use the robot system. However, the usage of robots is rarely expanded in the social place. One of the main reasons is the needs of users who actually use the robots are not determined, and it is not easy to design and us...Show More
In recent years, the number of elderly people over the age of 65 who live alone has increased year by year. In particular, the frequency of conversation for the elderly tends to decrease to less than once in two weeks, and the frequency of going out from home tends also to decrease at a rate of less than once in 2-3 days. As a result, it has led to the social isolation of the elderly, and has caus...Show More
Effective influential spreaders prediction in online social networks is critical for a variety of network services such as viral marketing, online recommendation, and many more. The conventional machine learning methods mainly adopted various hand-crafted features in the prediction models. However, their effectiveness relies on the domain knowledge heavily, and thus it is difficult to generalize t...Show More
A plant is controlled remotely on a network for a networked control system. Disturbances from the network and surroundings may deteriorate the control performance of such a system. To solve this problem, this paper presents a new method of suppressing an exogenous disturbance for those control systems. The control system has a state observer to estimate the state of the plant and an equivalent-inp...Show More
The educational experiments by making a modular robot may be able to work/study all the fields than conventional robot education, because the control program is easy and the assembly of many modules is easy for mechanical, electrical, programming. In this paper, we suggest the modular robot education system. Firstly, we design the educational method/curriculum, and design/create primary modules, g...Show More
The previous research modular robot can move in a planar direction. However, it can't move in a vertical direction, because the empty weight is more than driving force (torque). The vertical and planer (triaxlal) move robot is required in various situations. In this paper, we develop the vertical move function of modular robot using crank mechanism. The climbing force (torque) is calculated to mov...Show More
The modular robot is constructed by the same shape and function module. The robot can transform and exchange, because it is multiple modules and function. In previous paper, we manufactured the module by 3D printer, and evaluated the mechanical function of the simple module and modular robot. In this paper, the module is miniaturized and joint parts are improved. Joint parts are used tenon joint i...Show More
