چکیده

We present preliminary experiments of an aerial deployment system for environmental sensors with autorotative soft-landing. Key problems associated with this task are discussed, including design of the sensor modules, release mechanism and telemetry system. We evaluate performance of the initial proof-of-concept system and show that this approach to sensor deployment is viable.

Kohonen Self Organizing for Automatic Identification of Cartographic Objects

Automatic identification and localization of cartographic objects in aerial and satellite images have gained increasing attention in recent years in digital photogrammetry and remote sensing. Although the automatic extraction of man made objects in essence is still an unresolved issue, the man made objects can be extracted from aerial photos and satellite images. Recently, the high-resolution s...

Electrochemical Determination of Neonicotinoid Insecticide Clothianidin by Nanomaterial based Disposable Electrode

Disposable, selective and low-cost carbon nanotube modified electrodes were fabricated for the electrochemical detection of neonicotinoid insecticide, Clothianidin (CLT). Almost 2 folds’ increase at Clothianidin reduction signal was obtained by using single-walled carbon nanotube modified electrodes (SWCNT-PGE) compared to unmodified electrodes. These nanomaterials modified electrodes developed...

A New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion

This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...

Cooperative control of modular space robots

Modular self-assembling on-orbit robots have the potential to reduce mission costs, increase reliability, and permit on-orbit repair and refueling. Modules with a variety of specialized capabilities would self-assemble from orbiting inventories. The assembled modules would then share resources such as power and sensors. As each free-flying module carries its own attitude control actuators, the ...
