Swarm robotics is a promising approach characterized by large numbers of relatively small and inexpensive robots. Since such systems typically rely on decentralized control and local communication, they exhibit a number of interesting and useful properties, namely scalability, robustness to individual faults, and flexibility. In this paper, we detail the design and development process of a swarm robotics...
Operational parameters that may be observed by battery monitoring equipment used in stationary applications and the relative value of such observations are discussed in this guide. Although a list of commercially available systems is not given, a means for establishing specifications for the desired parameters to be monitored is provided.
Mobile agents have been proposed as a means to address two important issues in the design of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN): the need for reprogramming the network and decreasing energy expenditure. However, few mobile agent systems have been developed for WSN so far. In this paper we describe MASPOT, a mobile agent system for Sun SPOT, a WSN platform developed by Sun Microsystems. MASPOT provides...
This guide discusses operational parameters that may be observed by battery monitoring equipment used in stationary applications, and the relative value of such observations. Although this guide does not give a listing of commercially available systems, it does provide a means for establishing specifications for the desired parameters to be monitored.
In consideration of some traits of battery stations, such as decentralization, long distance, too many stations and difficulties of distribution lines, the article presents a scheme of construction a remote surveillance and control system with multi-Modem, designed and realized a battery remote surveillance and control system. The system can realize the state surveillance and control of each battery...
In-situ characterization of samples by experts, using high resolution gamma spectrometers, is required if low resolution NaI detector-based hand-held radionuclide identification devices are unable to provide definite spectral identifications. In some remote locations, the use of liquid N-2 cooled HPGe detectors is not possible. Electrically cooled HPGe detectors are not always a feasible alternative,...
The paper introduced the electric alcohol nose system which consists of alcohol sensor, MSP430 MCU and peripheral units. The electric alcohol nose system can recognize and check the concentration of alcohol in the gas breathed by a drunk driver or a driver who drink alcohol. The system is described from two aspects of hardware and software. The hardware system is a typical application system consisted...
