Robotic Unicycle Intelligent Robust Control Pt I: Soft Computational Intelligence Toolkit
The concept of an intelligent control system for a complex nonlinear biomechanical system of an extension cableless robotic unicycle discussed. A thermodynamic approach to study optimal control processes in complex nonlinear dynamic systems applied. The results of stochastic simulation of a fuzzy intelligent control system for various types of external / internal excitations for a dynamic, globally unstable control object - extension cableless robotic unicycle based on Soft Computing (Computational Intelligence Toolkit - SCOptKBTM) technology presented. A new approach to design an intelligent control system based on the principle of the minimum entropy production (minimum of useful resource losses) determination in the movement of the control object and the control system is developed. This determination as a fitness function in the genetic algorithm is used to achieve robust control of a robotic unicycle. An algorithm for entropy production computing and representation of their relationship with the Lyapunov function (a measure of stochastic robust stability) described
Integration of psychological models in the design of artificial creatures
Artificial creatures form an increasingly important component of interactive computer games. Examples of such creatures exist which can interact with each other and the game player and learn from their experiences. However, we argue, the design of the underlying architecture and algorithms has to a large extent overlooked knowledge from psychology and cognitive sciences. We explore the integration of observations from studies of motivational systems and emotional behaviour into the design of artificial creatures. An initial implementation of our ideas using the âsim agentâ toolkit illustrates that physiological models can be used as the basis for creatures with animal like behaviour attributes. The current aim of this research is to increase the ârealismâ of artificial creatures in interactive game-play, but it may have wider implications for the development of AI
Designing a smooth service experience: Finding the balance between online and offline service
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittÀÀ, kuinka digitaalisen ja analogisen palvelun voi paremmin
yhdistÀÀ kokonaispalveluksi niin, ettÀ asiakas saa mahdollisimman sujuvan palvelukokemuksen.
Tutkimuksen aihe nousee Tunteesta arvoa palvelulle âhankkeesta, jossa
toteutettiin palvelumuotoilun kehitysprojekteja yhdessÀ viiden yrityksen kanssa. NiistÀ
useammassa konseptien osana oli digitaalinen palvelu, mutta haasteeksi nousi digitaalisen
kanavan yhdistÀminen analogiseen, eli fyysisessÀ tilassa tapahtuvaan palveluun.
NykypÀivÀnÀ digitaalisten palveluiden yleisyys on kasvanut ja ihmiset ovat yhÀ tottuneempia
kÀyttÀmÀÀn digitaalisia kanavia osana palvelukokonaisuutta. Toisaalta kÀyttÀjÀt ovat
myös tietoisia digitaalisten kanavien tarjoamista mahdollisuuksista ja siten heidÀn odotuksensa
ja vaatimuksensa palvelua kohtaan kasvavat. Eri palvelukanavien vÀlillÀ on kuitenkin
havaittavissa eroavaisuuksia ja siten yhtenÀisen ja sujuvan palvelukokemuksen syntyminen
asiakkaalle on vaikeaa. Asiakkaan tarpeiden ja odotusten sekÀ yrityksen tavoitteiden
huomioiden palvelupolun luomisessa mahdollistavat palvelun sujuvan etenemisen palvelukanavien
vÀlillÀ.
TÀssÀ on laadullisessa tutkimuksessa tutkimusaineisto on kerÀtty puolistrukturoituina
teemahaastatteluina. Tutkimusaineisto on analysoitu teemoittelemalla ja tutkimuksen
löydökset vastaavat kysymyksiin, miten sujuva palvelukokemus muotoillaan palvelumuotoilun
menetelmin, ja miten digitaalisia ja analogisia palvelukanavia tasapainotetaan palvelupolussa.
Tutkimuksen tuloksen muodostaa seitsemÀstÀ osasta koostuva työkalu, jonka
tarkoituksena on toimia palvelun muotoilun ja kehittÀmisen tukena.While working as a research assistant in Value through Emotion research project at University
of Lapland and doing service design projects with several companies, I noticed that there
is a challenge in designing a service that combines online and offline service channels.
Nowadays the trend is to have an online service, such as service application, as a part of the
overall service path, but there is often a gap between the online and offline elements of the
service in regards of the communication and the quality of service delivery.
The customers are more and more used to digital service channels and they are aware of the
possibilities that online channels can provide. Therefore the customers have high expectations
about the service delivery. Designing a service that keeps the continuity throughout
the service despite the form of delivery channel would be a solution for providing the customer
a smooth service experience.
In this research I study how a smooth service experience can be built using service design
methods. I also study how the balance between online and offline service channels can be
found in the overall service path. The research data of partly structured theme interviews
are analysed by qualitative research methods. As a result for this case study I present a toolkit
with seven templates that can be used as a guideline and support in the service design
process when combining online and offline service elements as a smooth service experience
Cognitive Approach in Development of Innovation Management Models for Company
AbstractThe tendency of transforming from resource and export based economy to resource and innovation based economy (the tendency that is characteristic for both Russian and Azerbaijani economies) requires promotion of innovative activities in all levels of management â federal, regional, corporate and in the level of separate entities. (Makarov V.L., Đvarshavskiy Đ.Y. and etc., 2004) In connection with this, the question of development and introduction of effective systems of innovation management, and in the first turn, company innovation management systems, (CIM), which are the main constitutional elements of national economy systems, becomes essential. (Bazilevich A.I., 2009).In modern complex economic conditions depth of processing CIM issues and substantiality of adopted management decisions is in the first turn and sufficiently determined by the quality of subsystem of scientific support. (Fatkhutdinov R.A.,1998).The report considers opportunity of use of cognitive approach for developing CIM models. The methodology of development of cognitive models of CIM sufficiently differs from generally accepted schemes discussed in Materials of inter. conf. âCognitive Analysis and Management of Development of Situationsâ. CASCâ2007. Main differences are that, along with using basic provisions of cognitive approach, the methodology takes into account specific characters of subject field of CIM reflected in publications, and, secondly, considers reproductive character of the process of developing CIM models, providing for wide use of progressive technological practice of innovations
