Background The present study evaluates whether the quality of advanced cardiac life support (ALS) is improved with an interactive prototype assist device. This device consists of an automated external defibrillator linked to a ventilator and provides synchronised visual and acoustic instructions for guidance through the ALS algorithm and assistance for face-mask ventilations. Methods We compared...
The MORPH project (FP 7, 2012–2016) advances a novel concept of an underwater robotic system composed of a number of spatially separated mobile robot-modules, carrying complementary resources. Instead of being physically coupled, the modules are connected via communication links that allow a limited flow of information among them. Without rigid links, the so called Morph Supra-Vehicle can reconfigure...
The MORPH project (FP 7, 2012–2016) aims at the development of efficient methods and tools to map the underwater environment in situations that defy existing technology. Namely, missions that involve underwater surveying and marine habitat mapping of rugged terrain and structures with full 3D complexity, including near-vertical cliffs. Potential applications include the study of cold water coral reefs...
Today, due to the current state-of-the-art of embedded systems, underwater robotic vehicles are limited in both, their autonomy and capabilities. In order to increase their utility it is advantageous to run multiple vehicles at the same time whereby each vehicle serves as individual node in an underwater network. In this context a group of leading European vehicle manufacturers and researchers set...
This paper discusses estimation of relative positions of a group of autonomous underwater or surface vehicles. The solution to this problem is crucial for performing cooperated missions. It is show that the relative positioning problem is solvable when dead reckoning data is combined with mutual range data provided by some additional device, e.g. by acoustic telemetry. This data has to be distributed...
Within the EU-funded project "ADVOCATE II" the participating partners are developing an advanced machine diagnosis system for autonomous systems, which is based on an integrated approach. The solution combines different "intelligent" modules to create the open software architecture for diagnosis and decision tasks. ATLAS ELEKTRONIK is going to integrate the ADVOCATE modules into...
