Remote Thermal Water Leakage Sensor With a Laser Communication System

A Remote Laser System for Material Characterization

For many years, new techniques have been developed to overcome the problems involved with the generation and detection of ultrasound in materials at high temperature [1,2]. A non-contacting technique is described using lasers to generate and detect ultrasound and which can be used to study the variation in acoustic velocity as a function of temperature. Results are presented for the change in l...

Investigation of Ground Remote Sensing Techniques for Supporting an Early Warning Water-Leakage System

A Telerobotic System for Remote Surgical Collaboration with Communication Delays

During the last years, a new field has attracted the interest of robotic researchers. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, have grown as a very suitable domain for robotic systems. In this field, one of the easiest application for robotics is the movement of the endoscopic camera. That kind of robots [7][6] aims to move the camera from outside the patient’s abdomen to get the ima...

Automated Laser Sensor System

This paper presents an automated laser sensor system developed for damage detection of an Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge (AVLB) used by the US Army. The paper recounts the five-year effort aimed at developing a condition assessment system for AVLBs. A prototype automated laser sensor system built and tested by CFC-WVU consists of: 1) automated robotic gantry, 2) laser vibrometer, 3) data acqui...
