1 Enabling Mobile Devices for Home Automation Using ZigBee
Enabling Mobile Devices for Home Automation Using ZigBee
Home automation systems are collections of interconnected devices for controlling various functions within a house, such as light control, heating, air conditioning, etc. Mobile devices are ideal in providing a user interface in a home automation system, due to their portability and their wide range of capabilities. They can communicate with a home automation network through an Internet gateway, but cannot directly communicate with devices in the network, as these devices usually implement low power communication protocols, such as ZigBee. We investigate several methods to equip an Android device with a dongle capable of ZigBee communication. We propose a scalable architecture, with three abstraction layers, that scales over multiple communication channels, such as the TCP channel, for communication with the gateway, and the USB channel, for direct communication with devices through the dongle. We test the application with two client devices running Android 4.0 and a mock home automation network consisting of a couple of ZigBee devices and a PC as gateway. We estimate the energy consumption of WiFi transfers over several typical use cases and we conclude that using ZigBee can prove beneficial in some cases, both in terms of functionality and performance.

9 Designing a modular robotic architecture for industrial applications
Designing a modular robotic architecture for industrial applications
This paper considers the issue of increasing the number of robots working in sectors characterized by dynamic and unstructured environments. Specifically, the paper deals with a new approach, based on modular robotics, to allow the fast deployment of robots to solve specific tasks. Some authors have proposed modular architectures, mostly in laboratory settings, but their design was usually based and what could be built instead of what was necessary for industrial operations. Here we consider the problem by defining the industrial settings the architecture is aimed at and extract the main features that would be required from a modular robotic architecture to operate successfully in these kinds of environments. These requirements are then taken into account to design a particular heterogeneous modular robotic architecture and a laboratory implementation of it is built in order to test its capabilities and show its versatility using a set of different configurations including manipulators, climbers and walkers.

18Ubiquitous patient monitoring and smart alert generation in an intensive care unit
Ubiquitous patient monitoring and smart alert generation in an intensive care unit supported by low cost Tablet PC based automation system powered through open source software and hardware platforms
Effective critical care administration is a very important aspect in healthcare. This requires mechanisms for ubiquitous monitoring and smart alert generation systems. The conventional systems in many hospitals are not able to cope up with this requirement. So that medication and other required actions will be getting delayed making life difficult for a patient. To address these issues, a Tablet PC based system prototype focussed on ICU based workflows is under development. Designing and developing Apps which can provide better solutions for clinical data entry, patient monitoring and meaningful alert generation is also in pipeline. The clinical data entry can be made easier with the help of a Tablet PC which offers a number of possibilities for organised data entry. Once the data is available, forms, charts, graphs etc can be generated easily without much manual intervention. Interfacing sensor devices to the central server makes monitoring and analysis automated and ubiquitous. Another important aspect is the way in which alert generation is made. In existing systems alerts are generated based on hard limits set by the clinical staff. There is a need to develop a more comprehensive system that holistically looks at all available information about the situation before generating an alert. Towards this, it should continuously monitor all vital signals available and evaluate the cross functional effects between them before arriving at the seriousness of the conditions leading to more meaningful alerts. The mode of alert delivery can be made context aware making use of existing technologies. The most appealing part of this work is that only open source platforms are used both in hardware and software domains.

19.Smart device for advanced robot-based automation.
Smart device for advanced robot-based automation: The system design
Articulated robots are one of the major components in automation. They provide a large operation area in relation to their constructed size. Due to the serial structure the weight of each drive engine is carried by the axis and has to be moved along. To follow the increasing demands in aviation industry higher speed and precision are addressed in production. Higher speed excites vibrations that affect the part quality. Therefore, this paper presents an approach for a smart device with one additional axis. The axis compensates for lateral vibrations relative to the layup direction. Mainly, the design of the mechanism is illustrated within this paper. The system consists of a lever mechanism to enlarge the displacement of the actuator, and a motion platform to support the pressure roller. Finally, the paper concludes with issues about the integration into the robots structure and ideas for further applications.

21.Use of ultrasonic signal coding
Use of ultrasonic signal coding & PIR sensors to enhance the sensing of an embedded surveillance
In this paper we design and implement an embedded surveillance system by use of a time-variation ultrasonic coding signal with multiple pyroelectric infrared sensors (PIR) to detect an intruder in a home or a storehouse. The ultrasonic sensor module consists of a transmitter and a receiver which are placed in a line direction; however, ultrasonic sensors with the same frequency are subject to interference by crosstalk with each other and have a high miss rate. To overcome these disadvantages of the ultrasonic sensor, we propose a coding mechanism to reduce both crosstalk and environmental interference and to enhance the distinguishing features of the signal. In addition we use a time-variation coding signal to make the system more reliable against the breaking of the system when the coding signals vary. Both ultrasonic sensors and PIR sensors are managed by the majority voting mechanism (MVM).

25 Recognition of obstacle distribution via vibrotactile stimulation for the visually disabled
Recognition of obstacle distribution via vibrotactile stimulation for the visually disabled
A tactile display is able to help the walking support system of a visually disabled person. A walking guide system must detect an obstacle's distribution in walking space including hanging and/or protruding obstacles, and provide useful feedback for safe walking. In this study, we investigate the applicability of a tactile display to the walking guide. The obstacle information is transmitted to the palm by tactile stimulation. The three dimensional (3D) detection of an obstacle's distribution using ultrasonic sensors, the fabrication of a tactile stimulator using vibration motors, and the mapping of the detected results to an array-type tactile stimulator are proposed. An experiment on the recognition of an obstacle's distribution via tactile stimulation is performed to evaluate the possibility of a walking guide. In the experimental result, the average recognition rate was 95.14 % (5.73, standard error).

26 Monitoring of bedridden patients: Development of a fall detection tool
Monitoring of bedridden patients: Development of a fall detection tool
Falls of patients are an important issue in hospitals, it causes severe injuries to the patients, increases hospitalization time and treatment costs. The detection of a fall, in time, provides faster rescue to the patient, preventing more serious injuries, as well as saving nursing time. The MovinSense® is an electronic device designed for monitoring patients to prevent pressure sores, and the main goal of this work was to develop a new tool for this device, with the purpose of detecting if the patient has fallen from the hospital bed, without changing any of the device original features. Experiments for gathering data samples of inertial signals of falling from the bed were obtained using the device. For fall detection a sensitivity of 72% and specificity of 100% were reached. Another algorithm was developed to detect if the patient got out of his/her bed.

The MovinSense® is an electronic device designed for monitoring patients to prevent pressure sores, and the main goal of this work was to develop a new tool for this device, with the purpose of detecting if the patient has fallen from the hospital bed, without changing any of the device original features. Experiments for gathering data samples of inertial signals of falling from the bed were obtained using the device. For fall detection a sensitivity of 72% and specificity of 100% were reached. Another algorithm was developed to detect if the patient got out of his/her bed.
27 Development of a RF contactless respiratory rate monitor
Development of a RF contactless respiratory rate monitor
Radio-frequency (RF) applications are extremely common in current days, and the extension of its use to the medical field is constantly in development. One such application is the contactless and non-invasive detection of Respiratory Rate (RR). A two-antenna RF system was developed based on the measurement of the attenuation suffered by RF waves when they cross the thorax or are reflected by the chest wall. Monitoring the interference in the power of the received wave, RR was calculated with errors from 0.41 to 1.06 breaths per minute. It was concluded that the system was able to acquire RR in a precise, contactless and non-invasive way.

28 Design & implementation of a PIR luminaire with zero standby power using a photovoltaic array
Design & implementation of a PIR luminaire with zero standby power using a photovoltaic array
This paper further enhances the previous research into reducing the standby power consumption of a PIR luminaire. Generally, although a PIR luminaire will turn on when motion is detected and turn off when the motion is no longer present, the luminaire still consumes 1 to 3 W of power when the lamp is off and plugged in. In this design the luminaire consumes 1 mW when the light is turned off. The power consumption is lower than that in the previous design. This design is not only easy to set up but also inexpensive. A more effective circuit design is used to reduce the power consumption. Furthermore, a photovoltaic array is included in this design to reduce the consumption from the local electric power company. The standby power consumption of the luminaire is 1 mW in a darkroom and less than 1 mW in a non-darkroom. When the illumination intensity is greater than 150 lx, the consumption from the local electric power company is 0 W1.

33 A mobile robot controlled by an adaptive inertial interface for children with cognitive disorders
A mobile robot controlled by an adaptive inertial interface for children with cognitive disorders
This paper presents novel strategies for the interaction and mobility of infants with cerebral palsy (CP) and similar disorders. Initially, the design of a playful robotic vehicle is proposed. It aims to promote the physical and cognitive skills through mobility experiences. Despite the versatility of the vehicle, some children present severe motor limitations hindering the control of the driving console. In order to increase the accessibility of the vehicle, different driving modes are not enough. For people with CP, the human-machine interaction is a critical factor. For this reason, a novel human-machine head-mounted interface (HMI) is proposed to drive the vehicle. The HMI is based on inertial technology, which enables users to drive the vehicle by their movements and postures. The solutions and methods proposed in this paper have been validated experimentally with people with CP.

36 Speech recognition wireless automation of home loads& fault identification for disabled
Speech recognition wireless automation of home loads with fault identification for physically disabled
The design of this project helps in providing a fool proof solution for physically challenged to control their home appliances by giving voice commands through personal computer in a wireless environment. When automating a home load not available in the visible range, Fault identification system in this design helps the user to ensure that their home appliances had gone exactly ON or OFF or undergone FAULT by getting the status from load end, unlike the other design that gets the status at user end which may give a false indication, when power supply is not available for the particular load or when load get open circuited (due to wire discontinuity or open fuse condition). During user screen navigation and controlling home appliances voice output of the current screen information and status of the automated appliances enables visually impaired person to use the system to control their home appliances. Navigation of the screen by giving voice commands enables paralyzed person and person who lost their hands in an unfortunate accident to control their home loads along with normal person. For achieving wireless environment low cost zigbee is used. To provide security based authentication RFID is used. Each home load will be having two commands ON and OFF commands, Automation of 20 loads such as mixer, grinder, TV, refrigerator, fan, light, AC etc..., has been tested by giving 40 voice commands through personal computer. When user creates his own profile and automates the load speech recognition accuracy of more than 90% is achieved. Other people who were allowed to automate the load by the user can use user profile and achieve a speech recognition accuracy of 75% in the same personal computer.

38 Hand-Motion Crane Control Using Radio-Frequency Real-Time Location Systems
Hand-Motion Crane Control Using Radio-Frequency Real-Time Location Systems
Human operators have difficulty driving cranes quickly, accurately, and safely because the heavy structure of the crane responds slowly and its payload oscillates. Manipulation difficulty is increased by nonintuitive control interfaces (such as buttons, levers, and joysticks) that require substantial experience to master. This paper presents a new type of interface that allows operators to drive a crane by simply moving a hand-held radio-frequency tag through the desired path. Real-time location sensors are used to track the movements of the tag and its position is used in a feedback control loop to drive the crane. Unfortunately, crane movements usually induce large-amplitude payload oscillations. Therefore, an input-shaping control element is used to limit payload swing. Experimental results on an industrial bridge crane validate the controller performance.
