    Although the word“robot”was inspired by human workers, we do not need to imitate human figures when we design a practical robotic system for some specific applications. Instead, we should be free from all the preconceptions and we should select unconventional shapes in the design of the robots. In my career as a robot researcher in Tokyo Tech for more than 40 years, and CTO of Tokyo Tech start―up company HiBot corporation, I have been enjoying the design of more than 150 robots.
    In this talk, I will show some of the examples of creative designs, such as the design of snake―like amphibious robots, the snake―like rescue robots, the snake―like multi―joint arm, which is already in use in the assembly line of automobile industry. The spider―like walking robots, such as a walking and roller skating hybrid robot, a walking and crawler hybrid robot will also introduced.
    In the final part of the talk, I will summarize the tips to make creative design of robotics mechanisms and discuss the future direction of the development of robots and ideal relation between robots and human society.

    Recently the HART devices have been increasingly used in Japan. HART devices which are used more than 30 million units in the world have the overwhelming share compared to the other field protocols. However about 85％ of the devices transmit the process variable of 4―20mA only and the diagnostic and other information are not utilized effectively. This paper describes how to make maintenance work efficiency of field instruments by using the full potential of HART devices with case examples.

    Various defects occur even if they put a papermaking process as demand quality of the paper diversifies by other kinds small lot apparition product and in front of the visitor needs correspondence. To the defect detector which is an important instrument preventing a defective article outflow to the in front of the visitor, superior ability for inspection and stability are found.
    Four paper machines operated, and a defect tester of the examination with each F elt side was installed in the Kishu Mill, Hokuetsu Kishu Paper Co., Ltd. but the inspection ability that a light color defect where both sides inspection and a color line defect and the making paper of the light color included it was detectable became unavoidable because I hit it and added the defect detector of the No．6 machine to conventional fine paper, color fine paper in after 2009, and special paper was targeted for inspection in transfer papermaking from other factories. In addition, I carried out color defect detector introduction and winder support equipment update in 2011 because the defect check with the winder, the processing number of times increased by Tokushu Paper Mfg. papermaking, and machine slowdown came to produce an operation trouble with the winder support equipment of the threshold method in operation. I introduce introduction progress and operation experience this time.

    Valmet developed digital hydraulics for nip control based on new groundbreaking control technology in cooperation with universities. With digital hydraulics the energy saving is significant compared to conventional hydraulics. The key principle in digital hydraulics is to use parallel―connected two―way on／off valves to achieve digital flow control. With a sufficient number of valves and intelligent control algorithms, it is possible to achieve good controllability with simple and low―cost on／off valves.
    This paper introduces the outline of basic principle and the example of calender nip operation result with digital hydraulics. And, the applications on sizer and winder are also described.

    In recent years, sophisticated cyber―attacks that target factories and plants have increased even in production control systems. Due to such increases in threats and changes in the environment, the importance of security measures has become even more urgent. In fact, since 2010 damage caused by malware infection has increased significantly.
    However, this does not mean that blindly introducing security technology will be sufficient. Unlike information systems in general, a stable, real―time operation on a 365 day／24 hour basis is essential considering the sophisticated environment of control systems.
    YOKOGAWA group support has taken a holistic approach to security measures in which strategic defense―in―depth concepts are used to effectively evaluate potential risks, consider technical measures and continuously update the system's lifecycle. We believe improvements on a continuous basis are important during operation. Measures are necessary to assess and mitigate the risks identified within the control system and to be better prepared to recover the system in the case of an emergency.
    In YOKOGAWA group, by investigating and researching conditions in which security measures are implemented in control systems and the practical use of the latest security technology, we are currently developing effective solutions and optimal measures for a variety of system configurations for different industries and applications. Over the lifecycle of the system, we are committed to providing the best possible solutions and services to ensure high reliability of systems and to provide customer―specific security measures so that stable operation can be maintained.

This QCS was equipped the contacting caliper sensor, it is standard sensor of QCS. However, it has problem of the scratch spot on the sheet by the loading material and foreign material as it is known.
    We were trying to the solution for the scratch spot on the sheet by the contacting caliper sensor of QCS with Honeywell Japan Inc. It realized the large reduction of the scratch spot by our suggestion to the Honeywell, and improvement to the caliper sensor by the Honeywell. The usage conditions of the improvement to contacting caliper sensor and the results of solution are also introduced.

    Toshiba Mitsubishi―Electric Industrial Systems Corporation（TMEIC）has released the wireless sensor system“TMe2SMART”that implements both data acquisition and data analysis functions. TMEIC has already furnished the equipment diagnosis using TMe2SMART in ten sites or more. As the result, the precious data such as observation of the noise exceeding the maximum rating, and the detection of failure of power supplies, have been acquired. These results show that TMe2SMART is effective to fix problems unsolved. Moreover, it also shows that TMe2SMART can improve a latent incongruent factor.

    The system constructed with YEWMAC and FA 500 made by Yokogawa Electric Works, Ltd. is used in the conveyance process from the winder to the product warehouse at Ena mill. This system is a very important in the finish process at our mill, because it generalizes the transportation equipment, the weighing machine, and the automatic IJP（Ink Jet Printer）, etc.
    This system has been using for 20 years after operating in 1994 up to the present, and a trouble occurs not only equipment but also the trouble in the software. We launched out into the update of the system, falling into the situation to stop the operation in the cause. I introduce the system that was updated this time.
