Self-Supervised Motion Retargeting with Safety Guarantee
In this paper, we present self-supervised shared latent embedding (S3LE), a
data-driven motion retargeting method that enables the generation of natural
motions in humanoid robots from motion capture data or RGB videos. While it
requires paired data consisting of human poses and their corresponding robot
configurations, it significantly alleviates the necessity of time-consuming
data-collection via novel paired data generating processes. Our self-supervised
learning procedure consists of two steps: automatically generating paired data
to bootstrap the motion retargeting, and learning a projection-invariant
mapping to handle the different expressivity of humans and humanoid robots.
Furthermore, our method guarantees that the generated robot pose is
collision-free and satisfies position limits by utilizing nonparametric
regression in the shared latent space. We demonstrate that our method can
generate expressive robotic motions from both the CMU motion capture database
and YouTube videos

Proto-type installation of a double-station system for the optical-video-detection and orbital characterisation of a meteor/fireball in South Korea
We give a detailed description of the installation and operation of a
double-station meteor detection system which formed part of a research &
education project between Korea Astronomy Space Science Institute and Daejeon
Science Highschool. A total of six light-sensitive CCD cameras were installed
with three cameras at SOAO and three cameras at BOAO observatory. A
double-station observation of a meteor event enables the determination of the
three-dimensional orbit in space. This project was initiated in response to the
Jinju fireball event in March 2014. The cameras were installed in
October/November 2014. The two stations are identical in hardware as well as
software. Each station employes sensitive Watec-902H2 cameras in combination
with relatively fast f/1.2 lenses. Various fields of views were used for
measuring differences in detection rates of meteor events. We employed the
SonotaCo UFO software suite for meteor detection and their subsequent analysis.
The system setup as well as installation/operation experience is described and
first results are presented. We also give a brief overview of historic as well
as recent meteor (fall) detections in South Korea. For more information please

Flexible Microwave Tag System Based on DGS Multiple Resonators
A new flexible microwave tag system using a frequency-scanning type RFID is proposed with multiple resonators based on defected ground structures (DGSs). The proposed system achieves fully passive tag systems using multiple resonators with a spiral-shaped DGS over a wide frequency range. The resonator implemented on the rear side of a transmission line has the advantages of excellent band notch characteristics as well as bit-error avoidance from the frequency selective reflection. In addition, the tag system is designed on a thin flexible substrate in order to be applicable for amorphous surfaces. The proposed microwave tags have been implemented with wideband antennas at 3–7 GHz on thick and thin flexible substrates. The flexibility of the thin substrate has been evaluated in terms of cognitive capability for various radiuses of curvatures. From the experimental results in an anechoic chamber, the excellent recognition of various multibits identification codes in a wireless transmission environment has been verified
