For many years, dogs are used in the Search And Rescue (SAR) missions. The first recorded use of dogs in SAR missions was in the late 1700. Dogs are used in the SAR missions because their abilities to detect human scent. In many natural disasters or building collapses, the SAR dogs are used to reach and search places that are dangerous for people to be there. In these situations, the members of the...
The possibility to include practical training sessions in online learning systems is important to increase the value of engineering courses. This paper presents a work in progress focusing on integrating a remote laboratory system in an existing online learning environment so that, through the use of a simple web browser, students can develop both theoretical and practical skills at the same time...
One of the most anonymity centric network, TOR has become a research interest for several applications. As anonymity is very hot topic these days, developing remote administration with untraceable administrator will create huge impact and opportunities for security analysis. The rise of embedded systems, creation of secure server communications and connecting them through TOR will be the dawn of new...
Cyber-physical systems are an emergent paradigm to design complex, adaptive and smart systems, combining computational applications with physical hardware devices. Multi-agent systems play an important role in such systems to provide flexibility, robustness and adaptation, but their alignment will require the integration of agents with physical devices. This process is usually complex and time consuming...
Model-Based Diagnosis (MBD) system uses model (correct behavior of a robotic system), diagnosis engine, and a planner based repair engine for detecting and repairing faults. In this contribution we present a new hardware called Diagnostic Board used as counterpart to MBD system in order to cope with particularly hardware faults. It is micro-controller based board originally built for monitoring hardware...
Live migration is an advanced virtualization capability supported by several Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) solutions that allows a running virtual machine (VM) to be moved from one physical server to another without interruption. In the past, it was a premium feature largely restricted to enterprise datacentres due the need for Storage Area Networks (SANs), but advances in technology and increased...
One of the main challenges when creating an undergraduate introduction to robotics course is connecting the theory taught in the lectures with the current practices of research. The primary cause of this difficulty is an inability to find a hardware solution that is powerful enough to run complex cutting-edge algorithms yet inexpensive enough to be purchased by an undergraduate class budget. An ideal...
Recently mobile robots act in various situations such as disaster areas, office buildings, factories and homes. When these new mobile robots are released, they should be confirmed to work correctly and safety from evaluation. In this paper, we propose large-scale simulation environment of mobile robots on StarBED which is a large-scale networked testbed. By using the simulation environment, we could...
