  • Relative localization and Communication Module for small-scale multi-robot systems
    Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2006
    Co-Authors: Jim Pugh, Alcherio Martinoli
    Abstract:

    We characterize and improve an existing infrared relative localization/Communication Module used to find range and bearing between robots in small-scale multi-robot systems. Modifications to the algorithms of the original system are suggested which offer better performance. A mathematical model which accurately describes the system is presented and allows us to predict the performance of Modules with augmented sensorial capabilities. Finally, the usefulness of the Module is demonstrated in a multi-robot self-localization task using both a realistic robotic simulator and real robots, and the performance is analyzed

  • design of an arm based power meter having wifi wireless Communication Module
    Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications, 2009
    Co-Authors: Weicun Zhang
    Abstract:

    AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) and PQ (power quality) management based on kinds of network technologies has become a trend. However, because of the high construction and maintenance costs with the existing meter reading technology, the applicability to different residential buildings and different network infrastructure should be improved, it is greatly significant to research new kind of power meter and the meter reading technology, which can accelerate the evolution of the Next Generation Network and facilitate people's lives. Now wireless broadband network develops rapidly. Generally WiFi is considered the consummate scheme to resolve “the last 100 meters access problem”, and WiMAX is regarded as the perfect scheme to resolve “the last 1000 meters access problem”. At present, many cities in many countries are building or will build Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks by WiFi and WiMAX, it provides the new connection ways to the AMR system. This paper presents an AMR system scheme using WiFi technology and an ARM-Based PMWCM (Power Meter with WiFi Communication Module) scheme. On the bases of the schemes, this paper designs the PMWCM hardware system and software system. The ARM-based hardware system is consisted of processor core board and peripheral board, and the software program is basing on embedded Linux. This paper also proposes the functions of wireless Communication Module and design detail and discusses the security of the Communications.

  • Intelligent Communication Module for Wireless Biosensor Networks
    Biosensors, 2010
    Co-Authors: Rohit. Naik, Jugdutt Singh
    Abstract:

    Technological advancement, miniaturisation of electronic devices and progress in ad-hoc network routing protocols and embedded systems have facilitated developments in the field of biosensors and biosensor networks. Biosensor networks are a collection of biosensor units that collect information about biological responses and process it in order to make a decision for a desired outcome. In today’s market there is a demand for ultra low power consumption, portability and wireless connectivity from the biosensors for information exchange. This chapter introduces a new paradigm of biosensors which have processing capability with an intelligent and adaptive wireless Communication Module. The adaptive Communication Module efficiently reconfigures its hardware components according to the changes in operating environment in order to reduce system power consumption and optimally utilise resources. Due to the intelligent wireless Communication Module, the biosensor unit becomes a state of the art independent system as well as part of a wireless biosensor network (WBSN). The WBSNs find applications in areas such as medical parameter monitoring, environmental monitoring, chemical/biological detection, food and water analysis, soil monitoring, security and safety. These applications of the WBSNs potentially cover the current market trends and will significantly contribute to benefits of technological advancement for the community. The chapter is structured as follows. Section 2 presents intelligent biosensor node, its functionality and design requirements. It also discusses the remote patient monitoring application and lists potential applications of WBSNs. Section 3 proposes to use Ultra Wideband (UWB) impulse radio as a Communication Module for biosensor nodes. It also discusses the potential problems and possible solutions for the use of UWB impulse radio architecture for biosensor node. Digital UWB impulse radio architecture suitable for biosensors is described in section 4. Section 5 discusses the parallelism requirement analysis, proposes real time reconfigurability algorithm (RTRA) and discusses its design requirements. Section 6 presents the design and implementation of the RTRA. Conclusions are drawn in section 7 followed by references in section 8.
