In this paper, we propose using an approach based on the system-level programming language SystemJ extended with service oriented features, called SOSJ, to design dynamic interoperable software systems. The approach abstracts and integrates the worlds of automation and robotics systems by using a simple service interface based on abstract objects within SOSJ. We demonstrate our approach in a real-life...
This paper proposes an approach for pedestrian tracking using dead reckoning enhanced with a mode detection using a standard smartphone. The mode represents a specific state of carrying device, and it is automatically detected while a person is walking. This paper presents a new approach, which extends and enhances previous methods by identifying in real-time three typical modes of carrying the device...
Standalone inertial navigation system (INS) in indoor pedestrian positioning is becoming imminent as the researchers exploit its small form factor and low power requirement. This will result in small-size, low-power wearable devices that are not obtrusive to the users and yet provide sufficiently accurate pedestrian localization and tracking within. At this stage, most of the recent INS-based indoor...
Force Sensitive Resistors (FSRs) are used for kinetic evaluation of human gait by measuring under foot pressures during gait. FSRs from different manufacturers, with variation in morphologies and loading capacities were selected in past research projects. However a functional comparison of different FSRs and options on how to choose them for gait analysis is not established yet. In this work, investigation...
The recent trend of ubiquitous computing and the Internet of Things demands everyday objects to be IP addressable and Internet accessible. This brings forward the challenges of converting or mapping formerly isolated wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to be IP compatible. IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN) is one of the first protocols which provide IP compatibility to low...
Microfluidic systems, which handle fluids in very small quantities, are becoming increasingly popular in biomedical applications. This research aims to develop a wireless power supply module which can drive microfluidic sensor and actuator systems using inductive power transfer (IPT) with super capacitor storage. The main challenge is to source a variety of microvalves which have different power requirements...
