This paper investigates an indoor multiple human tracking and fall detection system based on the usage of multiple Millimeter-Wave radars from Texas Instruments. We propose a real-time system framework to merge the signals received from radars and track the position and body status of human objects. In order to guarantee the overall accuracy of our system, we develop novel strategies such as dynamic DBSCAN clustering based on signal energy levels and a possibility matrix for multiple object tracking. Our prototype system, which employs three radars placed on x-y-z surfaces, demonstrates higher accuracy than the solution in [1] (90%), with 98.5% and 98.2% accuracy in multiple human tracking and fall detection respectively. The accuracy reaches 99.7% for single human tracking.

In this paper, we provide a review of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) and explore the applications of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL), and Multi-Agent Credit Assignment Problem (MCA) in CPSs. Our primary focus is on mapping specific domains, including job scheduling, energy management, and smart transport systems, to MAS and applying MARL and MCA techniques to solve the problems. To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed method, we applied it to the job scheduling problem, using two parameters, CPU and bandwidth, and tested its performance for four different tasks: Face Detection and Window Blind Control (FDWC), Finger Touch and Gate Control (FTGC), Weather Check and Thermostat Control (WCTC), and Temperature Check and Start Fan (TCSF). The results indicate that prioritizing tasks significantly improves the performance of the proposed method. We conclude that MAS, MARL, and MCA are powerful tools for solving problems in CPSs and IoT. Mapping these problems to MAS can help overcome the challenges associated with CPSs and IoT, and improve system performance.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have emerged as a popular choice of researchers for their robust feature extraction and information mining capability. In the last decades, CNNs have depicted impressive performance on various applications of computer vision tasks like object detection, image segmentation, and image classification. As a consequence, the ear-based recognition system has not gained many benefits from deep learning and CNN-based applications and is still lacking behind due to the availability of sufficient data and varying conditions of captured sample images. In this paper, transfer learning techniques have been applied to the well-known convolutional neural network model VGG16 integrated with the support vector machine(SVM) that acts as a hybrid algorithm for recognizing the person using their ear images. The proposed model is validated on an ear dataset containing a total of 2600 images with variability in terms of pose, rotation, and illumination changes. The proposed model is able to classify the ear images with the highest recognition accuracy of 98.72%. To show the effectiveness of the proposed model, comparative studies of the proposed model with other existing methods have been reported in the literature.

Aquaculture has a great importance in economic development and food production. Maintaining an ecological environment with good water quality is the most critical link to ensure the efficient and qualitative of aquaculture. Good management of the water quality can avoid occurrence of abnormal conditions and significantly contribute to secure food in the future. Detection of anomalies ensures that the aquaculture environment is maintained properly to meet healthy and proper requirements for fish farming. The main focus of this paper is the use of machine learning approaches to detect anomalies for water quality data in aquaculture environment. It presents an analysis of three machine learning anomaly detection techniques: the K-Means clustering, the Local Outlier Factor, and the Isolation Forest. Extensive analysis of the mentioned techniques was conducted using several sensor datasets obtained from a real-world IoT aquaculture system, specifically for the parameters of temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH. The evaluation analysis reveals that K-Means and Isolation Forest anomaly detection methods show promising results in detecting anomalies for the three aquaculture parameters.

Implementing digital technology, and especially artificial intelligence, in schools is becoming an increasingly significant challenge for society. Digital services supported by artificial intelligence are becoming more prevalent in all aspects of social life, including schools. The project “Innovative Learning Environments Supported by Digital Technologies” aims to introduce artificial intelligence as a support for transforming teaching in a way that prepares learning opportunities for students, where they can acquire knowledge and develop digital competencies. Teachers need knowledge and tools to assess whether AI-supported activities are appropriate for achieving their goals and enabling the transformation of teaching. Within the project, we have tested three models to assist teachers in implementing digital technology and AI. Based on the analysis of submitted good practice cases, we found that the most suitable scale for teachers in the project “Innovative Learning Environments Supported by ICT” is the RAT scale.

The wide applications of deep learning techniques have motivated the inclusion of both embedded GPU devices and workstation GPU cards into contemporary Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) systems. Due to substantial differences between the two types of GPUs, deep-learning model training in its current practice is run on GPU cards, and embedded GPU devices are used for inferences or partial model training at best. To supply with empirical evidence and aid the decision of deep learning workload placement, this paper reports a set of experiments on the timeliness and energy efficiency of each GPU type, running both Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model training. The results suggest that embedded GPUs did save the total energy cost despite the longer response time, but the amount of energy saving might not be significant in a practical sense. Further in this paper we report a case study for prognostics applications using LSTM. The results suggest that, by comparison, an embedded GPU may save about 90 percent of energy consumption at the cost of doubling the application response time. But neither the save in energy cost nor the increase in response time is significant enough to impact the application. These findings suggest that it may be feasible to place model training workload on either workstation GPU or embedded GPU.

The heightened transmissibility of the coronavirus presents significant hazards for medical professionals conducting face-to-face COVID-19 swab tests. To address this concern, we recommend employing a 4-axis instructional robotic arm, outfitted with a variety of control mechanisms for swab collection. The robot is designed with a versatile manipulator, an endoscope paired with a display, and a master apparatus. The adaptable manipulator enhances testee safety, while the master apparatus's analogous structure simplifies operation for medical professionals. By leveraging the endoscope's visual output, the practitioner can manage the movement of the swab affixed to the manipulator during the collection process. This paper introduces the preliminary robotic system, encompassing its functional space and procedural steps. We also propose future experimental endeavors, such as 1) assessing the manipulator's precision under visual supervision, and 2) conducting a human phantom experiment to validate the robot's practicality.

Healthcare wearables have become very powerful and useful devices that are able to detect and monitor vital signs. Through recent applications and products, they have proven to be particularly effective in detecting symptoms of COVID-19. In this paper, we present an optimized design of a device, named SYNTROFOS, capable of detecting heart rate, respiration rate, and temperature. The analog and digital hardware employs off-the-shelf components, while the signal processing algorithms are optimized for implementation on low-power, low-cost, and small-sized memory microcontrollers. The decision-making and visualization interface is extremely simplified, indicating only good and bad states. Via the attached BLE Beacon the system sends the altering messages to close environment or remote medical staff. During the testing, significant noise immunity and satisfactory accuracy, less than 1 beat (breaths) per minute, are achieved. Although the presentation includes the overall system architecture, the focus is on hardware design challenges and optimized signal processing algorithms.

This paper presents a new approach to the task of time-domain model matching for state-space systems. The traditional problem formulation of designing a controller to match a reference model is relaxed to matching only a desired reference response. The presented algorithm then computes the feedback gain that delivers the best fit solution to the reference response under general norms. Additionally, the proposed discretization approach enables the employment of sparse matrix methods which enables a numerically efficient implementation. The new method is successfully verified using a random system. Additionally, an application example involving a simplified gantry crane system is presented, showcasing the practicality of the approach. Overall, the new method provides an intuitive and numerically efficient solution to the problem of time-domain model matching for state-space systems.
