This paper proposes a telerobotic system based on a smartphone and Nao, a humanoid robot from Aldebaran Robotics. A user can control the robot using her smartphone and interact with people and surroundings around the robot in a remote location. The overall system includes two servers to facilitate the connection between the user's smartphone and the robot. We have particularly focused on providing...
This paper considers a human motion evaluation system (HMES) using two smartphones and a server. An HMES user wears retro-reflective markers on her 13 joints and follows a motion demonstrated by an expert. Two smartphones detect markers and transmit detected 2D marker positions to the server which reconstructs 3D motion of the user. The server performs a spatio-temporal alignment between the motion...
This paper introduces a novel approach to battery management. In contrast to state-of-the-art solutions where a central Battery Management System (BMS) exists, we propose an Embedded Battery Management (EBM) that entirely decentralizes the monitoring and control of the battery pack. For this purpose, each cell of the pack is equipped with a Cell Management Unit (CMU) that monitors and controls local...
Cyber-physical smart city integration of digitalcomponents into the real world will offer a variety of possibilitiesto enrich our daily life. A digital-physical hybrid world makes itpossible to optimize our energy use and to offer morecomfortable traffic management. However, we still need to investigate how to interact with a hybrid world. Augmentedreality and virtual reality techniques offer promising...
Information and communication technology (ICT) played a critical role in disaster management in last few decades. One example is the messaging service for disaster alerts, rescue workers, and victims. Many of these messaging services are developing based on existing messaging services and in ad hoc manner to meet the communication requirements in different disaster scenario. However, most, if not...
A hearing aid, worn in or around a wearer's ear, is an electroacoustic device to block noise and enhance target sound signal for the wearer. However, there is no method in traditional hearing aids that can automatically separate noise from a received signal mixture. Especially when the backing round is complex, amplified sound by a traditional hearing aid is still a multi-source mixture, and its wearer...
The main objective of the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Cyber???Physical Systems, Networks, and Applications (CPSNA 2014), is to explore innovative, exciting, and fresh research ideas for Cyber???Physical Systems (CPS), which are next???generation embedded systems with closely coordinated computational and physical components. Emerging applications of CPS include transportation, healthcare,...
The capabilities of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are increasingly being extended towards new composite services deployed across a range of smart sensing and controlling devices. These services enable the emergence of multiple end-to-end cyber-physical scenarios, formed dynamically based on their demands, e.g., disaster recovery systems. In such scenarios, each cyber-physical flow may be composed...
In this paper, we consider state estimation using a Kalman filter of a linear time-invariant process over an unreliable network. The stability of Kalman filtering with random packet losses is studied, where the packet losses are modeled by the Gilbert-Elliott channel model and the stability is measured by the so-called peak covariance stability introduced in [1]. We give two sufficient conditions...
Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs), such as those found in modern vehicles, include a number of important time and safety-critical functions. Traditionally, applications are mapped to several dedicated electronic control units (ECUs), and hence, as new functions are added, compute weight and cost increase considerably.%ECU consolidation, where multiple functions are combined on fewer ECUs is an important...
