Swarm robotic concept has become a topic of extensive research in hazardous environments where fault tolerant, robust and energy-efficient approach is needed. In this paper we present behavioural based algorithm for outdoor environment exploration. This work is inspired by ant colony behaviour models. Our goal is to control agent's motion using simple rules and not to rely on wireless communication. Agents perform random walk combined with simple heuristic pheromone based rules which prevent frequent visits of previously visited locations. To determine heuristic parameters which maximize area coverage, we optimize parameters by simulating swarm behaviour in Matlab. Furthermore, we take into account the agent limitations, such as battery lifetime, and we model a probability success of a mission with respect to that parameter.

Underlying link-layer protocols of wireless networks use the conventional "store and forward" design paradigm cannot provide highly sustainable reliability and stability in wireless communication, which introduce significant barriers and setbacks in scalability and deployments of wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a Code Embedded Distributed Adaptive and Reliable (CEDAR) link-layer framework that targets low latency and high throughput. CEDAR is the first comprehensive theoretical framework for analyzing and designing distributed and adaptive error recovery for wireless networks. It employs a theoretically-sound framework for embedding channel codes in each packet and performs the error correcting process in selected intermediate nodes in packet's route. To identify the intermediate nodes for the en/decoding for minimizing average packet latency, we mathematically analyze the average packet delay, using Finite State Markovian Channel model and priority queuing model, and then formalize the problem as a non-linear integer programming problem. Also, we propose a scalable and distributed scheme to solve this problem. The results from real-world testbed "NESTbed" and simulation with Matlab prove that CEDAR is superior to the schemes using hop-by-hop decoding and destination-decoding not only in packet delay but also in throughput. In addition, the simulation results show that CEDAR can achieve the optimal performance in most cases.
In this work we have composed an innovative environment for the development of interactive TV applications. This has been evaluated in the context of laboratory exercises by students. We present the environment as wel...

This paper addresses some of the problems related to direct surface temperature measurement of a salient pole synchronous generator excitation winding in rotation. Excitation winding temperature is used for determining the dynamic limit in a PQ diagram. The paper also addresses procedures of improving the accuracy of surface temperature measurement using the contact DS 18B20 digital temperature probes. The paper also provides experimental results of direct temperature measurement of the excitation winding surface conducted in the salient pole synchronous generator in the rotation.
This paper investigates the problem of stability for a class of linear uncertain Markovian jump systems over networks via the delta operator approach. The sensor-to-controller random network-induced delay and arbitrar...
