Indoor air quality (IAQ) is an important yet often overlooked aspect of public health, with poor IAQ contributing to a significant number of diverse health problems worldwide. Existing air quality standards have failed to fully address the problem, however emerging technologies in the field of IoT have demonstrated promise in effectively addressing this issue. This concept paper advocates a hybrid hierarchy system for IAQ monitoring that incorporates both offline and online connectivity. The system utilizes sensing elements that can perform a wide range of functions, including autocalibration, pollution event detection, and more, autonomously from the network. By combining a gateway device, the system's capabilities are enhanced, providing increased data granularity, additional calibration and sensing options as well as connection with Building Management Systems (BMS). Furthermore, by connecting the gateway to the cloud, the system can perform more advanced data analysis and machine learning, providing users with insights into not only air quality but also general environmental quality. Key features of the envisioned system include the integration of subjective perception of pollution via crowdsourcing, a TinyML technology at the edge, digital twins, and an optimised redundancy of sensors that can alleviate poor accuracy and drift as well as capture the spatial dispersion of pollution.

Construction is a high-risk industry where workers are frequently exposed to potential injuries, particularly head injuries. Safety helmets serve as a critical defense, yet many workers neglect their use due to low safety awareness, increasing their vulnerability. This study proposes a real-time safety helmet detection system using an edge computing device, the NVIDIA Jetson Nano, to enable immediate data processing. The system employs YOLOv5 object detection models to classify individuals as wearing or not wearing safety helmets. A comparative evaluation between YOLOv5-small and YOLOv5-nano models was conducted, demonstrating that YOLOv5-nano outperforms YOLOv5-small in terms of real-case video analysis and testing dataset performance. This approach highlights the potential of lightweight deep-learning models for enhancing safety compliance in construction environments.

The ERSOW robot, a competitor in robot soccer leagues, struggles with its current long-distance passing technique. This method, reliant on robot localization to feed robot orientation adjustments, suffers from accumulating odometry errors and unintended deviations in the ball's trajectory. This research proposes a novel approach to optimize the ERSOW robot's long-distance passing skills, addressing these limitations. The proposed solution incorporates two key elements: ball pivoting movements and a vision system. Ball pivoting maneuvers enable the robot to maintain control of the ball's position during orientation adjustments, minimizing deviations caused by robot movement. Additionally, the integration of a vision system allows the robot to continuously track the receiving teammate's location in real-time. This real-time information enables adjustments to the passing trajectory, mitigating the negative effects of odometry errors. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was evaluated through experimentation. The results demonstrate a success rate of 100% for kickoff passes with an average completion time of 1.21 seconds at a distance of 400 cm and 95.83% for corner passes with an average completion time of 2.44 seconds at a distance of 600 cm. This suggests that 600 cm is the optimal passing distance for achieving successful long passes.

Stereotypes constitute a widely used technique for creating user models. This paper explores the potential of stereotype-based models in virtual environments in order to enhance user engagement and learning outcomes. The focus is on an application, named Beekeeper World, which employs adaptive scenarios that respond to user actions. These scenarios, referred to as stereotype user models, represent predefined behavior patterns that Beekeeper World uses to respond to specific user actions. In the game context, these stereotypes are triggered by particular player interactions involving the ecological dynamics of bees and spiders. The first one challenges the player when s/he fails to protect a bee by strengthening the enemy spider. The second stereotype is a way of helping the player by pausing the spiders' spawning when s/he cannot defend the bees. These stereotypes can be instrumental in creating predictable, consistent behavior in Beekeeper World. They provide a framework for the system to respond to various user inputs in a consistent manner. This consistency can be crucial in maintaining the desired user engagement, as it ensures that the system's responses align with the user's expectations based on their previous interactions. Furthermore, these stereotypes can contribute to the complexity and challenge of the game, as they require the player to understand and adapt to these patterns in order to succeed, thereby promoting strategic thinking and problem-solving skills.
