Automatic Ground Vehicles (AGVs), require guidance systems to navigate through their environment. The navigation system and sensors employed are dictated by the ambient conditions in that environment and the task to be completed by the AGV. This paper examines AGVs, the types of navigation systems available and the sensors employed by these systems.

The objective of the research is to provide a new hybrid motion capture method to assist the players’ training of the standardized volleyball techniques. The proposed method is developed by integrating the optical passive maker based motion capture method and the non-optical inertial motion capture method. The hybrid method can accurately capture an individual volleyball player’s movement including running, jumping, strike, service, reception, etc. Then, the captured motion data can be used to precisely reconstruct the player’s behavior as a 3D model in the analysis system for the comparison between the player’s volleyball techniques with the world-class players. Thus, the coach and the player can distinctly observe the degree of standardization of the player’s volleyball techniques and improve the techniques by using the specific training methods. The hybrid motion capture method is proposed by exploring of the complementary characteristics of the optical and non-optical motion capture method. We verify the effectiveness of the proposed method by testing in the Sichuan Provincial Men’s/Women’s Volleyball Team and the local volleyball teams. The results of the research and test demonstrate that the proposed hybrid motion capture method is specifically suitable for assisting the training of the player’s standardized volleyball techniques and significantly enhance the performance of the training.

Flexible lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films have been developed by a chemical process (CSD), using aluminium foil as substrate, in view of optimizing their piezoelectric properties. Due to the mechanical properties of the aluminium foil (16 μm thick, 69 GPa as for Young’s modulus), original forms have been obtained because such a thin film is easily cuttable, and the conformable. Despite the mechanical mismatch between brittle PZT and its flexible substrate, hysteresis loop obtained during the P-E measurements has demonstrated high remnant polarization (26 μC/cm2 that augurs exploitable macroscopic piezoelectric behavior. Al/PZT/Al cantilever beam has been realized and very high deflections (in the centimeter range) have been observed when subjected to low applied voltages (up to 10 V). Besides, the sensitivity of a 0.8 cm long Al/PZT/Al cantilever to acoustic waves has been measured, yielding a resonance frequency of 220 Hz and a quality factor of 47, thanks to great flexibility of the thin aluminium substrate. At last, waterproof multilayer composite has been realized by encapsulation of the beam using polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The so formed alga has been used to sense the low frequency (~1 Hz) of swell generated in an experimental basin.

Providing enough voltage range for the needed compliance voltage of a chemical cell is a critical factor in standard CMOS processes. This paper explores an implementation of cyclic voltammetry which aims to exploit the limited voltage range efficiently by dynamic potential repositioning. The concept is demonstrated by an integrated circuit (IC) powered via near field communication (NFC). The source of the supply field is a smartphone which also collects and visualizes measured data. Gained results prove that dynamic positioning of electrode potentials does not impede the measurement result. Thus it enables the transfer of electrochemical measurements to low-cost, wirelessly powered, monolithic CMOS systems.

LiNbO3 integrated optics asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometers (AMZIs) can be used as electrode-less electric field sensors. As the electrooptic transfer function (EOTF) shows a cosinusoidal shape, linear sensing is ensured when the e-field modulates the light traveling through the optical waveguides around the quadrature point. As an electrode-less sensor cannot be electrically adjusted around such a point, a linear sensing is not ensured. When the modulated light is sent to a classical optical receiver, light is directly photodetected and the sensed e-field is recuperated as imprinted on the sensing side; linear detection is not ensured. To achieve a linear response when an electrode-less is used, a simple linearizing technique, consisting in cascading two matched AMZIs is proposed. In the linearizing scheme the first interferometer is the electrode-less sensor; the second one, which is provided of electrodes acts as an optical demodulator. The sensed e-field can be linearly detected when the EOTF of the demodulating AMZI is shifted to its quadrature point by applying a DC “tuning” voltage to its associated electrodes. The cascaded AMZI are illuminated either by coherent and incoherent light. The scheme is analyzed and this paper shows that a linear detection of the e-field is achieved when using incoherent light.

The internet of Things (IoT) architecture was originally envisaged as a two-layer technical platform, with sensors collecting data at the edge with minimal compute requirements, solely to prepare and transporting the data to a centralized or cloud based infrastructure for processing. This model is suitable in some scenarios, for example where data is being stored for historical, regulatory or trending usage however in other use cases such as health monitoring for acute illness or autonomous vehicle computer vision the latency in transporting this data to a remote location for processing may cause latencies that would seriously affect performance of the application. There are many different and sometimes overlapping definitions of IoT topologies being discussed within industry. This paper reviews this original topology of an IoT solution, and different techniques and layers available to alleviate the issues inherent of the original paradigm, and how a new method of defining at these topologies is gaining speed.

Cloud Computing models, architectures and service adaption have been growing on a larger scale based on convenience, on-demand resource provisioning, customized services and economic benefits. The Cloud assists enterprises in reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) but the anticipated Return on Investment (ROI) is not guaranteed in time due to quality pitfalls leading to vendor lock-in situations. Sensing technologies, which utilize the cloud environment as a prime infrastructure supporting IoT applications and data processing often fail to identify and understand Cloud Quality of Service (QoS) issues. This paper discusses factors related to assessing the Cloud vendors QoS, minimizing quality control and cost issues and increasing feasibility for IoT applications on the cloud ecosystem.

With the rapid increase of aging population, the development and introduction of ICT systems to the care field are proceeding. However, such systems using cameras and/or sensor networks are not necessarily accepted due to privacy protection, cost and unstable accuracy. Based on such discussion, this paper proposes support system for elderly care which monitor behaviors by using RFID tag with sensing function. Those tags are put around elderly people and detect a change in pressure, and the system judges the behaviors of an elderly person from its change. In addition, the system uses a cleaning robot. When a man falls on the floor, the robot moves to the location and confirm the consciousness by beep. The latter part explains those pressure sensing method and indoor positioning method using RFID tags, and experiments show high accuracy on each method.
