Sensor device for intuitively manipulating the heavy material-handling robot
As the conditions of working environment at the construction site cannot be typified, intelligence of robot system is considered to be the best solution for a lack of uniformity and homogeneity such as various kinds of unexpected situations or conditions. Precise finishing quality of robot system, pre-fabrication system of construction materials, and undisturbed material circulation system also remains unsolved problems, up to now. Human-robot cooperation technology based applications have been come up for several decades to combine the human's advanced neural system with robot's enhanced physical performance. This study proposes the newly-designed sensor device for intuitively manipulating the heavy material-handling robot system through the analysis of conventional method. And the feasibility of virtual coordinate generation algorithm and performance evaluation of the proposed system is verified through the experiments and field-test.
Construction Robots: The Search for New Building Technology in Japan
This book presents Japan's achievements in the development and application of over 100 construction robots and five automated systems. The Japanese have progressed far beyond the U.S. in these new technologies, which are already having a revolutionary impact on Japanese architecture. The impact of robotics has already begun to show measured improvements in quality, productivity, and safety in construction.
Enumeration of total coliforms, fecal coliforms, and Escherichia coli in foods by hydrophobic grid membrane filter: supplementary report.
Raw, comminuted poultry meat was used to determine the specificity of the media and incubation conditions used in the hydrophobic grid membrane filter method. Confirmation rates for target colonies were 100% for total coliforms, 98% for fecal coliforms, and 97-99% for Escherichia coli. The results of total coliform enumeration in 30 pasteurized milk samples by both the hydrophobic grid membrane filter method and AOAC method 46.013-46.016 are also reported.
