We carry out a structural and algorithmic study of a mobile sensor coverage optimization problem targeting 2D surfaces embedded in a 3D workspace. The investigated settings model multiple important applications including camera network…
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a paradigm shift in our way of using heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings. In the early stages of the pandemic, it was indeed advised to reduce the reuse and thus the…
Purpose: Comprehensive legal medicine documentation includes both an internal but also an external examination of the corpse. Typically, this documentation is conducted manually during conventional autopsy. A systematic digital…
Healthcare-Associated Infections present a major threat to patient safety globally. According to studies, more than 50% of HAI could be prevented by proper hand hygiene. Effectiveness of hand hygiene is regularly evaluated with the…
Recent development in unmanned UAV technology paved the way for numerous applications in diverse cross discipline fields. One of the main feature of UAV s are their portability in terms of size that allows them to navigate through fairly…
The necessity of maintaining a robust antiterrorist task force has become imperative in recent times with resurgence of rogue element in the society. A well equipped combat force warrants the safety and security of citizens and the…
Autonomous mobile robots have the potential to solve missions that are either too complex or dangerous to be accomplished by humans. In this paper, we address the design and autonomous deployment of a ground vehicle equipped with a robotic…
During missions involving radiation exposure, unmanned robotic platforms may embody a valuable tool, especially thanks to their capability of replacing human operators in certain tasks to eliminate the health risks associated with such an…
In this article we detail the prototype development of the Personal Ultraviolet Respiratory Germ Eliminating Machine(PUR$\diamond$GEM) to safely, efficiently and economically, continuously disinfect inhaled/exhaled air using Ultraviolet…
Contaminated objects or surfaces, referred to as fomites, play a critical role in the spread of viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The long persistence of viruses (hours to days) on surfaces…
Now-a-days, a lot of research is being carried out in the development of USVs (Unmanned surface vehicles), UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) etc. Now in case of USVs generally, we have seen that wireless controlled vehicles use RF circuits…
Currently, manipulation tasks for deformable objects often focus on activities like folding clothes, handling ropes, and manipulating bags. However, research on contact-rich tasks involving deformable objects remains relatively…
Extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) light is notoriously difficult to control due to its strong interaction cross-section with media. We demonstrate a method to overcome this problem by using Opto-Optical Modulation guided by a geometrical model to…
Malaria, a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite, kills over 1 million people globally each year. People, if left untreated, may develop severe complications, leading to death. Effective and accurate diagnosis is important for the…
Mobile manipulators in the home can enable people with cervical spinal cord injury (cSCI) to perform daily physical household tasks that they could not otherwise do themselves. However, paralysis in these users often limits access to…
Current guidelines from the World Health Organization indicate that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which results in the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), is transmitted through respiratory droplets or by contact. Contact transmission…
We investigate the coronal imaging capabilities of the Solar UltraViolet Imager (SUVI) on the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R series spacecraft. Nominally Sun-pointed, SUVI provides solar images in six Extreme…
The smartphone, as a media device, should offer a large-size screen and fast data rates in a well-packed device. Emergent 5G technologies based on millimeter waves need efficiently radiating antennas integrated into devices whose bodies…
Robots assist in many areas that are considered unsafe for humans to operate. For instance, in handling pandemic diseases such as the recent Covid-19 outbreak and other outbreaks like Ebola, robots can assist in reaching areas dangerous for…
Deep ultraviolet (DUV) light sources are used to neutralise isolated test masses in highly sensitive space-based gravitational experiments. An example is the LISA Pathfinder charge management system, which uses low-pressure mercury lamps. A…
