Fish-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a business-to-business model offering monitoring services performed by a biomimetic fishlike drone. FaaS considers environmental, scientific, and business concerns when addressing marine monitoring, providing alternative methodology while preserving ocean resources. The key to FaaS is the ability to provide a low-cost, low-maintenance, high-endurance, agile sensor platform...
Marine aquaculture is deeply rooted in Norwegian national economics and traditions, especially in the M⊘re og Romsdal region. This paper presents the development of a novel ROV for aquaculture inspection in marine application to provide first-hand information in fishery nets. The ROV is a part of so called “Sea Farm” project. When the ROV doesnot work, it will be carried by a floating platform. A...
Across the globe, the increasing percentage of elderly people is a reason of growing concern among the research fraternity. A lot of research is currently going on in providing these elderly people with a smart environment or smart home that can promote their independence, overall sense of well-being and enable them to lead a better quality of life. The primary objective of this research paper is...
Due to their social influence, several areas research search and rescue field. Mobile robotics is one of them that analyzes and seeks more efficient solutions for search and rescue operations. Multirobot systems are considered to make the procedures more efficient and safe, both for the victim and for the crew. Petri nets are widely diffused for designing discrete events systems, such as networks...
The reports from last years outline the fact that the web crawlers (robots, bots) activities generate more than a half of web traffic on Internet. Web robots can be good (used for example by search engines) or bad (for bypassing security solutions, scraping, spamming or hacking), but usually all take up the internet bandwidth and can cause damage to businesses that rely on web traffic or content....
Recently, research related to medical robots received considerable attention due to an increase in aging population. However, most of the existing approaches for designing medical robots have drawbacks in terms of lacking mobility, real-time monitoring of health conditions and emotional response. In this paper, we present a design for a cloud-assisted medical robot with mobility, which can remotely...
500kV substation on duty gradually tends to be unmanned with the development of smart grids, the mobile robot that used in substation equipment inspection emerge as the times require. Substation inspection robot system, which is described in this paper, can replace a fixed video monitoring, complete video remote transmission of information, equipment control, accident treatment and coordinated transport...
In this paper we propose an algorithm to maximize the information about a monitored target object for controlling multiple autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our scheme does not require manual operation of UAVs and they can determine their movement solely based on the algorithm. We use the number of feature points of the target object and multiple UAVs alternatingly move until they converge...
The paper explores the features of functional modeling of the process of development of control and monitoring systems, using the example of the system of energy-saving control of technological objects.
In any activity connected with monitoring, diagnostics and prognostics, the accuracy and believability of results is of paramount importance. Two main kinds of diagnostic errors, called Type I and Type II or False Positives and False Negatives are encountered whenever classification, such as “good” vs “bad” is considered. This has been thoroughly discussed, especially in the field of medicine, where...
A preliminary experiment is carried out to investigate the effects of LED light animations on a user's perception of a computer. As anthropomorphism has become an important factor in interaction design, current research tends to add human-like expression abilities to interactive devices. Such methods, however, have limitations as they are complex and not applicable to many currently-in-use appearance-constrained...
To elevate the imperativeness and reinforce the fitness of elders, assisting a home care system can be an admittance that provides comprehensive nursing and monitoring them in the regular interim. In order to provide an interactive service management platform to the elders a smart environment of numerous sensors are clubbed together to establish an intuitive platform that can control the home appliances...
In model-driven learning, simulation of Business Process is a key step for improving the learners's skills and enhancing teaching performance. In this paper, we provide the architectural design and the main functionalities of a model-based learning simulation framework. The main objectives of the proposed framework are: i) enable user-friendly learning simulation with a strong support for collaboration...
Marine robotics is a rapidly growing field, with applications of both Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) and Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASV) becoming extensive and within reach for many people. Presented is a low-cost design for an ASV, focusing on the ability for the average person with only little mechanical and electrical skills to assemble. The ASV also incorporates a winch into its design,...
3D printing is a production process that has existed for three decades but its massive appearance is more recent. RepRap is a project created with the goal that more people have access to a open source low cost 3D printer. This research has been conducted based on knowledge shared by this community following their guidelines in order to take a step forward in the development of technology and cooperate...
Dynamic Software Product Line (DSPLs) based Systems are capable of adapting inresponse to changes concerning their observations at runtime in order toexhibit appropriate behavior. The observation space and the variability in theconfiguration space is usually known at design time. However, running a set oftests with all combinations of configuration and observation from these spacesis likely to be...
Bayesian Optimization has gained much popularity lately, as a global optimization technique for functions that are expensive to evaluate or unknown a priori. While classical BO focuses on where to gather an observation next, it does not take into account practical constraints for a robotic system such as where it is physically possible to gather samples from, nor the sequential nature of the problem...
Practical application of smart materials for moving robots enabled to solve difficult mechatronic positioning and movement problems. Movement in such systems is generated using piezoelectrical devices. Therefore, classical trajectories formation and control methods are not suitable. For these specific problems positioning and piezorobot control methods and algorithms are created. In order to practically...
Deploying drones over the Cloud is an emerging research area motivated by the emergence of Cloud Robotics and the Internet-of-Drones (IoD) paradigms. This paper contributes to IoD and to the deployment of drones over the cloud. It presents, Dronemap Planner, an innovative service-oriented cloud based drone management system that provides access to drones through web services (SOAP and REST), schedule...
Smart grid relies partly on a comprehensive grasp of equipment' constantly monitoring information and adjustment and control of equipment's operation information, online monitoring technology with live detection technology is an effective means of achieving a comprehensive perception of device condition information. In recent years, State Grid Corporation of China is trying hard to promote online...
