Control is specified for a walk cycle of the robot. The implementation of the control system was done on Matlab Simulink. In this paper a hierarchical fuzzy logic controller (HFLC) is proposed to control a planar biped walk. The HFLC design is bio-inspired from human locomotion system. The proposed method is applied to control five links planar biped into free area and without obstacles.

The fight against nosocomial infections (NI) in the intensive care units (ICU) is a good example. We will focus on a set of observations which reflect the dynamic aspect of the decision, result of the application of a Medical Decision Support System (MDSS). This system has to make dynamic decision on temporal data. We use dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) to model this dynamic process. It is a temporal reasoning within a real-time environment; we are interested in the Dynamic Decision Support Systems in healthcare domain (MDDSS).

In this paper, we describe a new video sequences segmentation and tracking algorithm based on MAS "multi-agent systems" and SURF "Speeded Up Robust Features". Our approach consists in modelling a multi-agent system for segmenting the first image from a video sequence and tracking objects in the video sequences. The used agents are supervisor and explorator agents, they are communicating between them and they inspire in their behavior from active contours approaches. The tracking of objects is based on SURF descriptors "Speed Up Robust Features". We used the DIMA platform and "API Ateji PX" (an extension of the Java language to facilitate parallel programming on heterogeneous architectures) to implement this algorithm. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm is more robust and faster than previous approaches.

In order to supply their subsystems, these satellites can only use the power stored on board from solar energy. Therefore, the electrical power system should ensure a maximum exploitation of energy sources and optimize the distribution of the available electrical power. In this context, Research Group of Intelligent Machines Laboratory in Tunisia developed a new intelligent electrical power subsystem to be used for pico satellites. This subsystem is based on fuzzy logic allowing a faster energy storage and better and efficient energy distribution. The intelligent electrical power subsystem was successfully integrated in ERPSat-1 pico satellite. In addition, the simulation has shown better results compared to other used methods in the previous electrical power systems used for small satellites.

An affective human-computer,interaction is one,in which emotional,information is communicated by the user in a natural and comfortable way, recognized by the computer, and used to help ,improve ,the interaction. Before the computer ,or its ,designer ,can adapt an interaction to better serve an individual user, feedback from that user mustbe associated with the actions of the machine: did a specific computer action please or displease,the user? Did something,in the ,interaction frustrate the user? One of the ,essential issues is sensing ,and recognizing the affective information communicated,by the,user in a way,that is comfortable and reliable. In this paper, we try to suggest another method for human-computerinteraction with recognizing and interpreting the user’s emotion through facial expression displayed in live video. Our system has to perform automatic facial features extraction, reasoning about shown,facial expression and eventual interpretation of it in terms ,of emotions ,and give an appropriate presentation of the acquired results. RÉSUMÉ. L’interaction homme-machine ,affective est une ,voie naturelle de communication, à travers l'information émotive communiquée par l'utilisateur, reconnue par l'ordinateur, et utilisé pour améliorer l'interaction. Avant l'ordinateur ou son ,concepteur ,peut adapter une interaction pour se servir d’un utilisateur individuel, la réaction de cet utilisateur doit être associée avec les actions de la ,machine: est-ce qu'une action spécifique de l'ordinateur a plaisait ou énervé l'utilisateur? Est-ce que ,quelque chose dans ,l'interaction a perturbé l'utilisateur? Un des ,questions ,essentielles est ,de reconnaître ,l'information ,affective communiquée par l'utilisateur dans un chemin confortable et fiable. Dans cet article, on essaye de suggérer une autre méthode d’interaction homme-machine avec la reconnaissance etl’interprétation l’émotion de l’utilisateur à travers ses expressions faciales affichées dans unvidéo en temps,réel. Notre système exécute l’extraction automatique,des caractéristiques faciales, réfléchir à propos de l’interprétation éventuel de l’expression émotionnelle affiché et fournir une présentation adéquate.
