Adaptive Anytime Data Transmission of Non-Stationary Signals
Authors: Várkonyi-Kóczy Annamária R. ,   Institute of Mechatronics and Vehicle Engineering, Óbuda University, Népszínház u. 8., H-1081 Budapest, Hungary,   Integrated Intelligent Systems Japanese-Hungarian Laboratory

The never unseen information explosion in data transmission and communication called for new methods in signal coding and reconstruction. To minimize the channel capacity needed for the transmission urged researchers to find techniques which are flexible and can adapt to the available space and time. Anytime techniques are good candidates for such purposes. If the signal/data to be transmitted can be characterized as sequence of stationary intervals overcomplete signal representations can be applied. These techniques can be operated in an anytime manner as well, i.e., are excellent tools for handling the capacity problems.
This paper introduces the concept of anytime recursive overcomplete signal representations using different recursive signal processing algorithms. The novelty of the approach is that an on-going set of signal transformations together with appropriate (e.g., L1 norm) minimization procedures can provide optimal and flexible anytime on-going representations, on-going signal segmentations into stationary intervals, and on-going feature extractions for immediate utilization in data transmission, communication, diagnostics, or other applications. The proposed technique may be advantageous if the transmission channel is overloaded and in case of processing non-stationary signals when complete signal representations can be used only with serious limitations because of their relative weakness in adaptive matching of signal structures.
Special Issue on Protecting Cultural Heritage and Historic Cities from Disasters
Authors: Izuno Kazuyuki , Okubo Takeyuki 
Published: April 2016

Natural disasters have damaged or destroyed many invaluable cultural heritages. How to mitigate these losses, however, is difficult question. If we cannot save human lives, of course we cannot save cultural heritages from disasters. This requires more sophisticated countermeasures than conventional disaster reduction methodologies. This special issue of JDR provides many examples of such mitigation in historical cities which have expanded with cultural heritages as nuclei.
Cultural heritage disaster mitigation lies somewhere between the fields of cultural preservation and the disaster mitigation engineering. The first two review papers focus on the importance of protecting cultural heritage from natural disasters and the history of this issue from the viewpoints of both engineering and humanities.
Twelve papers discuss engineering problems and the planning of cultural heritages preservation, cover issues such as the seismic performance of traditional wooden structures, the vulnerability of historical masonry structures, disaster reduction in slope failures around cultural heritages, disaster risk analysis at historical cities, fire prevention in historical cities, and urban planning taking cultural heritage into consideration.
This issue closes with a tutorial paper showing the techniques and basics of cultural heritage disaster mitigation. It serves as a practical handbook on mitigating disasters surrounding cultural heritages and historical cities. We expect contributors to this field to increase in the near future due to the importance and urgency of cultural heritage disaster mitigation.
We thank the authors for their earnest contributions and the reviewers for their invaluable advice on improving the quality of this special issue of JDR.

Authors: Shirai Nobuo ,   Hosei University  4342 Aihara, Machida, Tokyo 194-0298, Japan, Tanaka Mitsuru 
Published: April 2016

Additional adaptation measures such as “basic improvement of sensitivity” and “adaptive governance against mid and long term impacts” are set as ideal directions for local governments. The study of the situations for implementing additional adaptation measures by local governments were determined by using checklists. It is clarified as a result that additional adaptation measures have not been considered enough.
The following problems in implementing measures from the “Japan local Forum for Climate Change Adaptation Society” were found:
(1) Prediction and evaluation of climate change impacts, (2) Concretization and evaluation of adaptation measures, (3) Communication and subject formation and (4) Implementation of the measures and preparation of conditions.
In the future, it is necessary to concretize additional adaptation measures at the research level, to share these additional adaptation measures with concerned parties and to promote the exchange of opinions.
Special Issue on Integrated Study on Mitigation of Multimodal Disasters Caused by Ejection of Volcanic Products

Volcanic eruptions induce often widely dispersed, multimodal flows such as volcanic ash, pyroclastics, layers, and lava. Lahars triggered by heavy rain may extend far beyond ash deposits. Indonesia, which has 127 volcanoes along its archipelago, is at high risk for such disasters. The 2010 Merapi volcano eruption, for example, generated pyroclastic flows up to 17 km from the summit along the Gendol River, killing over 300 residents. The February 13, 2014, eruption of the Kelud volcano produced a gigantic ash plume over 17 km high, dispersing tehpra widely over Java Island. Ash falls and dispersion closed 7 airports and caused many flights to be cancelled.
Volcanoes in Japan have recently become active, with the 2014 phreatic eruption at the Ontake volcano leaving 63 hikers dead or missing. The eruption of the Kuchinoerabujima volcano on May 29, 2015, forced all island residents to be evacuated.
All of these events undeerscore how underedeveloped Japan’s early warning alert levels remain. The Sakurajima volcano, currently Japan’s most active, maintained high activity in the first half of 2015. Ash from Janaury 2015, for example, was moved down the volcano’s slopes by extremely heavy rain in June and July, accumulating as thick sediment near villages.
Regarding such situations of volcano countries, we will develop an integrated system to mitigate many kinds of disasters which are generated by volcanic eruptions and extended by rain fall and wind, based on scientific knowledge. We are developing an integrated warning system to be used by local and national governments to mitigate volcanic and sediment disasters. We are also creating measure against volcanic ash for airlines.
This special issue summarizes basic scientific knowledge and technology on the present warning system to be used in the integrated system for decision-making.

Japan uses underground spaces more widely than in other developed countries. Underground spaces around terminal train stations and areas under station plazas are used in developing public pathways with stores. One such area, managed by a single underground city manager, has a floor area of about 80,000m2. In 1999, the Mikasa River near an underground area in front of Hakata Station flooded the underground area. The importance of antiflood measures for underground area was pointed out after the Hakata disaster and Japan’s Flood Control Act was partly amended, but measures have not been implemented satisfactorily.
In this paper, the author reviews the current situation in Japan’s underground areas for flood disaster and based on the awareness surveys of underground managers and users, the researches on systemizing antiflood measures for underground areas and the applications of a disaster prevention action plan (TimeLine) for protecting persons from flooding are shown using an example of the underground shopping area in front of Nagoya Station as a case study.

I, as one of those related to the mechatronics industry, wish to extend my heartfelt congratulations on the opportune foundation of ""Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics"" in English, with editorial staff members being internationally noted persons in the branch of mechatronics in Japan.
Editorial staff members having been appointed from the worldwide standpoint comprehensively over industrial circles, official world and academic societies, this journal is expected to be a precious information periodical quite different from other journals issued by several academic societies. As an advanced country of worldwide fame in research and development of products of mechatronics represented by robots, Japan is requested to make henceforth an increasingly important international contribution through its original technology of mechatronics by presenting to the world not only the research results in the branch of mechatronics but also developed products. In this respect, publication of this kind of journal is also deemed very significant.
The industries henceforth will depend upon further progress in mechatronics in the course of building up certain production systems to cope with the social trend of diversification, with productivity improvement by means of flexible automation lines as the accompanying important subject, thus leading ultimately to construction of robot-operating unmanned factories as well as development of intelligence-oriented equipment including robots. Further, research and development of mechatronics-related technology being the pivotal technology for the secondary as well as tertiary industries, it is a supreme problem for Japan for the continuing development of its industries for the future to continue to step further as an internationally advanced country, with mechatronics as the core technology of its industries. It is expected accordingly that this journal will play a role to function as a common stage of activities so that researchers as well as ~ngineers belonging to the branch of mecha,tronics may act as international leaders by working together in a friendly rivalry through exchange of information across the border existing between universities and enterprises. Further, for the sake of obtaining high appraisal of this journal from those researchers and engineers in the world interested in mechatronics, I hope that the editors responsible may make the utmost effort towards the idea of social contribution, the especial requirements being originality and enthusiasm, coupled with high principles.
In conclusion, I wish that this journal will continue long with success.

Congratulatory Messages
Susan Hackwood
Editor, Journal of Robotic Systems. Director, Center for Robotic Systems
As the founding editor of the Journal of Robotic Systems, I would like to express my whole-hearted approval of the English translation of the Journal of Robotics and Mechatronics. When we founded the Journal of Robotic Systems in the spring of 1984, we felt very strongly that Japanese participation in the publishing of technical papers should be encouraged, as much of the top research in robotics and mechatronics originates in Japan. To this end, we translated the abstracts of the Journal into Japanese.
Translation is never easy. A technical translation of the Japanese language into English is especially formidable. I known that many eminent researchers, such as Professors Yamafuji, Hasegawa and Fukuda have invested considerable time and effort launching this new journal. I strongly applaud their efforts. It will be a great service to the English speaking research community to be able to read about high quality Japanese research every two months.
I understand that the JRM will present research papers and technical reports from both industry and academia. This is indeed a unique opportunity for international exchange and cross-fertilization of ideas. We in the West are aware that many Japanese-speaking researchers are hesitant to publish their work in journals written in English.
I would like to extend my very best wishes to this venture.

Because of change in woman’s place in society, the number of working woman is growing and the demand of the breast pump is increasing as well. Commercial product of the breast pump is applying only negative pressure for sucking and many users feel a pain for a long term use. While a baby is using peristaltic motion as the result of tongue and jaw action in addition to suction. In this research, therefore the breast pump with a baby-like motion is developed. In order to realize baby-like peristaltic motion, cam mechanism is applied. Also for producing negative pressure, crank mechanism is utilized. As the result, it turns out that the breast pump developed is realized the same peristaltic motion and suction pattern as a baby.This paper is the full translation from the transactions of JSME Vol.73, No.730.

The leg-wheel robot we developed has four legs and two wheels mechanically separated and operates with high mobility and stably on rough terrain. We propose a free gait algorithm for the leg-wheel robot that enables continuous locomotion under random velocity commands. The gait algorithm, based on a predictive event-driven approach, determines leg-lift timing to keep legs within prescribed work areas. The robot is operated remotely by an operator who uses a controller to give straight velocity and angular velocity. Our algorithm fully automates leg control via the operator's commands, and its feasibility was confirmed in simulation and experiments.This paper is the full translation from the transactions of JSME Vol.71, No.705.
