This paper presents the iRat (intelligent Rat animat technology), a robot designed for robotic and neuroscience teams as a tool for studies in navigation, embodied cognition, and neuroscience research. The rat animat has capabilities comparable to the popular standard Pioneer DX robots but is an order of magnitude smaller in size and weight. The robot‟s volume is approximately 0.08m 2 with a ma...

RFID system (Radio Frequency Identification), an automatic identification system relying on exchange of information through radio frequency, is emerging as one of important technologies that find its use in various applications ranging from healthcare, construction, hospitality to transportation sector and many more. This paper describes about RFID technology, concentrating its use in improving...

Today, approximately 10% of the world’s population is over the age of 60; by 2050 this proportion will have more than doubled. Moreover, the greatest rate of increase is amongst the “oldest old,” people aged 85 and over. While many older adults remain healthy and productive, overall this segment of the population is subject to physical and cognitive impairment at higher rates than younger peopl...

We developed “Intelligent Compression”, an intelligent movie data compression technology that is useful in video surveillance systems. We expanded our unique image recognition technology, which is used in the digital photography field, in the development of “Intelligent Compression”. With its highly accurate recognition capability, this technology realizes a high compression ratio while preserv...

In the last 5 years or so, new perception and control techniques have been developed and demonstrated which allow a to robot perform tasks in natural environments. Unfortunately, most efforts have resulted in one-of-a-kind robots, limited to research laboratories or carefully circumscribed venues. A user who would like to apply robotic technology to a particular real-world problem usually start...

Road defects are important factors affecting traffic safety. In order to improve the identification efficiency of road diseases and pertinence maintenance management, intelligent detection technologies have been developed. The problems high cost low artificial inspection solved efficiently, quality construction is improved availably. This not only guarantee highway but also people’s lives study...
