Time series network traffic analysis and forecasting are important for fundamental to many decision-making processes, also to understand network performance, reliability and security, as well as to identify potential problems. This paper provides the latest work at London South Bank University (LSBU) network data traffic analysis by adapting nonlinear autoregressive exogenous model (NARX) based on the Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation algorithm. This technique can analyze and predict data usage in its current and future states, as well as visualise the hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly activities with less computation requirement. Results and analysis proved the accuracy of the prediction techniques.

Cardiovascular dysfunction is the main cause of death in the world and several of these incidents have not been detected in time for diverse reasons. Consequently, some research groups, in ICT area, have been developing remote monitoring systems to detect the biosignals of cardiovascular dysfunction patients in the recent years. In this paper, a Coloured Petri Net (CPN) model for the remote healthcare process is presented. This CPN model uses the patient data formalization by means of set theory, providing a simplified perspective of the data transmission among all elements of the system. Using the CPN model, it will be investigated the behavior the system formed by the patients and their biosignals, located in different city zones (e.g., Panama), by means of simulation processes, in a first stage. With obtained simulation results, a remote monitoring system of bio-signals using non-invasive sensors will be developed.

The camera homography estimation involves using complex algorithms. They provide good results after some interactions, however the error model provided for such algorithm seems to be no appropriate for sensorial data fusion in real time. In this work a new methodology is proposed for camera homography and IMU data fusion. The experiment consists in rotate the camera. The experiment is done for frames. Here it is presented results about the error in homography estimation with and without bias compensation. The last section concerns about the experimental results and conclusions about this approach.

The purpose of this research is to develop the assistive caster unit of manual wheelchair for step climbing. This unit is easily replaced with the conventional caster, only a spanner is needed. In addition this caster is simple mechanism, and the power source is only a 006P battery, there is no microcontroller. For realizing this simplicity, The proposed caster unit has two functions to assist the step climbing. One is the assistive plates to enlarge the caster radius imaginarily in the confined front area of the wheelchair, and to enable to climb a higher step. The other is the lock function to fix the caster’s swiveling, which realize easy climbing with oblique approach. The lock-function is activated by the detection of the step, and mechanically fixes the caster’s swiveling. We have developed some prototypes of this caster unit, so far. However, the problem is still remained in the step detection method being the trigger of activation of the lock function. Therefore, this paper proposes the improved activation method by detecting the step at an instant of touching it.

Over the years robotics has made great progress. Nowadays, robots begin to be part of the life of any person, designated social robotic. Humanoid robots are fascinating and have several advantages, such as they can work in places where there is a risk of contamination, risk of health, danger of life, places that are difficult to access. They also are able to access different types of terrain and to climb stairs. NAO robot is currently the humanoid platform with high sensory capacity that it has lower costs in the market. This robot is similar to human in order to have a more real and natural with society. Using the capabilities of the robot and adding other sensors, we can have a more powerful machine in our society. NAO robot is presented in this paper as a domestic robot.

This project consists of the development of an electronic system to manipulate a snake like robot in a modular way. The electronic cards were implemented in a master-slave relationship for joint control of each mechanical module. These cards are composed of a DSPic30F4011, microchip 16-bit microcontroller that incorporates the CAN module, essential protocol for communication between cards, PWM outputs for motor control, analogue and digital ports; as well as a socket to connect to an external device through the UART. The firmware has been written in MikroC Pro. Each microcontroller implements the characteristic equation from the Hirose curves to generate a serpentine movement. These moves were simulated using ROS (Robotic Operating System in Rviz).
