This paper aims to present an overview of the Smart HEMS and Smart heating technologies and trends. It highlights a) Objectives and results of R&D projects in the Smart Home field; b) Smart Home Energy Management Systems (Smart HEMS); c) Smart thermostat products existing on the market and scientific approaches which deal with advanced control of heating systems, more specifically the prediction...
In present work a modified MRAS for induction motors is presented. Associated with vector control, the speed estimation performances are improved especially at low speed. Lyapunov theory based controllers is used to design the controllers of the vector control. Robustness against the parameter variations and the low speeds mode is proven. The experimental tests are conducted using dSPACE DS1104.
This work deals with the control of the wind energy conversion system (WECS) equipped with two doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG). The main generator is controlled in order to keep the voltage and the frequency in the rates values. The second generator is connected when the power demand increase. But, before the connection, with the first generator, synchronization is done. After that, the system...
This project deals with technical assistance for people of reduced mobility. The goal of this work is to have a mobile platform with an embedded prehensive arm (MANUS®) track a wheelchair. The use of this mobile unit in relation to the patient’s wheelchair is carried out on a master-slave basis. This study, therefore, has a plural-disciplinary nature: Science for the Engineer, Human, Social and Clinical...
In this paper, we deal with an original advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) based on the use of omnidirectional vision and an evidential fusion architecture. The panoramic perception solution permits us to address efficiently the problem of close vehicles detection but also the monitoring side traffic system. The fusion and integration of this sensorial data stream is assumed by a credibilist...
This paper deals with the design of a robotic platform providing a grasping procedure to assist disabled persons. Like most of the vision-based systems, the camera used to guide the arm toward the object is embedded onto the gripper, which gives a very local view of the environment. We propose to use a catadioptric sensor in order to deal with situations where the object of interest is out of the...
This project deals with technical assistance for people of reduced mobility. We propose to study the technical of an original approach, which consists of mounting a prehensile arm onto a mobile base. The use of this mobile unit in relation to the patientpsilas wheelchair is carried out on a master-slave basis.. To ensure the tracking of the wheelchair by the mobile platform, we will present and compare...
In the sensor-based applications context, sensor reliability is not always taken into account. Due to the uncertain nature of sensors, we must integrate to the problem of belief attached to the sensors data. This paper deals with the dysfunction detection based on a two-level approach. The first level extracts conflict information of the combination of multiple data sources. The second level is based...
This article deals with a target tracking application for the disabled. The objective of this work is to track a wheelchair with a mobile platform and an embedded grasping arm (MANUS). We propose an approach based on an association of two Kalman filtering levels. The first level permits an estimation of the wheelchair configuration. The second is used to compute the mobile platform configuration in...
In this paper we will talk about the smart home concept. Even if smart home domain is not like the robotics domain, we can notice resemblances. In V. Ricquebourg et al. (2005), we shown that a smart home can be seen as a robot that turn over itself. A robot needs sensors to discover its environment. In the same way, a smart home needs sensors to watch in itself. This paper deals with a service oriented...
