The advances in robotics are often inspired by biological systems, which have attained harmonised functionality and efficiency through billions of years of evolution. Motivated by the nature, this paper presents the realisation of sensorimotor correlation using printed synaptic transistor. While such a concept has drawn increasing attention recently, no report on the adopted technology details has been published. To this end, this paper specifically presents the technical elements for the practical realisation of the concept through printed synaptic transistor and the development of the conditioning printed circuit board (PCB) for operating the as-realised device. This work presents a possible roadmap for the future advancement towards e-Skin with neural-like processing capability through a heterogeneous integration of printed circuits on flexible PCBs.
Although biomedical sensors, low-power wireless communications, and embedded computing have made great strides recently, they still cannot be integrated into critical care environments without a flexible and robust co...

In this demo paper, we design and prototype RhythmEdge [1], a low-cost, deep-learning-based contact-less system for regular HR monitoring applications. RhythmEdge benefits over existing approaches by facilitating contact-less nature, real-time/offline operation, inexpensive and available sensing components, and computing devices. Our RhythmEdge system is portable and easily deployable for reliable HR estimation in moderately controlled indoor or outdoor environments. RhythmEdge measures HR via detecting changes in blood volume from facial videos (Remote Photoplethysmography;rPPG) and provides instant assessment using off-the-shelf commercially available resource-constrained edge platforms and video cameras. We demonstrate the scalability, flexibility, and compatibility of the RhythmEdge by deploying it on three resource-constrained platforms of differing architectures (NVIDIA Jetson Nano, Google Coral Development Board, Raspberry Pi) and three heterogeneous cameras of differing sensitivity, resolution, properties (web camera, action camera, and DSLR). RhythmEdge further stores longitudinal cardiovascular information and provides instant notification to the users. We thoroughly test the prototype stability, latency, and feasibility for three edge computing platforms by profiling their runtime, memory, and power usage.

A rover in extraterrestrial exploration works in challenging environment featured by primitive landforms and hidden dangerous areas. Due to the far distance from the rover to Earth, it is one of the most crucial capabilities that the rover can recognize and model the terrain properties efficiently and autonomously. In this paper, we present a Multimodal Off-road Terrain Classification (MOTC) dataset which is collected by a four-wheeled rover equipped with ego-centric visual cameras and inertial measurement unit (IMU). The dataset is generated from a boulder-strewn mock- up of the real Mars at the Intelligent Autonomous System Laboratory in Beijing Institute of Control Engineering. 24,982 images and corresponding sensor sequences are collected and annotated into 3 kinds of surface materials and 3 kinds of scene geometries. Based on the MOTC dataset, a baseline model with a multimodal fusion architecture is proposed for terrain classification. The experiment shows that the features extracted from visual images and from IMU complement each other to achieve improvements of terrain classification accuracy of the challenging extraterrestrial surface.
