Accurate localization is essential to achieve Automated Valet Parking (AVP) without collisions. However, indoor parking facilities where the use of GPS is restricted are usually lack of maps. This study proposes a Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) approach that combines parking line information detected by Around View Monitor (AVM) with the scan data by a 2D LiDAR. The parking line information is extracted using a parking slot detection model and then fused with the scan data. Finally, an indoor map that includes parking spaces is created based on the fused scan data. The proposed method results in low computational requirements, and the generated map contains information such as parking lines, pillars, and walls, which enables accurate real-time localization. This generated map can be utilized in future AVP research to navigate from one location in the parking facility to an available parking space.

The Internet of Things (IoT) based smart healthcare systems can significantly enhance the quality of patient care. These systems can enable healthcare providers to monitor patient conditions in real time. IoT-based smart healthcare systems have the potential to revolutionize the way we provide care. Anomaly detection is crucial in IoT-based smart healthcare systems due to numerous reasons. It plays a dominant role in proactive health-care analysis, especially in brain diseases. In brain Magnetic Res-onance Imaging (MRI), anomaly detection helps in identifying several abnormalities, such as cysts, strokes, infections, vascular and developmental malformations, and neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis. The existing approaches of brain MRI anomaly detection, and anomaly detection in IoT-based smart healthcare systems utilizes static AI models. Conventional AI based models can be trained once and cannot tackle the changes in real time. The population health and the nature of disease consistently change, and conventional AI based models can't adapt to those changes. Conventional AI based system cannot tackle the changes caused by variations like diseases and public health and become ineffective over the time. Self-aware AI models can address these issues as they can learn and adapt to their environment. Self-aware AI-based systems have the potential to change lives through their ability to learn, adapt, and improve over time. In this paper, we proposed a novel approach to anomaly detection based on self-aware AI in IoT-based smart healthcare systems. Additionally, an algorithm for anomaly detection in MRI images, namely Self-Aware AI based Anomaly Detection (SAAD) is proposed. Our proposed system can detect anomalies in brain MRI images. We achieved 98% accuracy and 0.99 precision and recall, outperforming the existing approaches. The proposed self-aware AI based anomaly detection framework for IoT-based smart healthcare systems has the potential

This paper studies the perception of robot intelligence for a manipulator that shares its workspace with a human operator, while the two execute independent tasks. Four different motion planning algorithms were employed to plan the robot motion in four subsequent experimental sets for 48 participants, and the order with which these algorithms were used was changed, obtaining all possible combinations. While guaranteeing safety, each of the four algorithms exhibited a different level of adaptability and reactivity, in terms of real-time motion planning abilities and of speed reduction based on heart rate feedback. We analyzed how perceived intelligence was influenced by the employed algorithm, by the order of execution and by the previous experience of the participants working with robots. In conclusion, perceived intelligence resulted being significantly lower in the first experimental set compared to the following ones, which showed a positive effect of habituation on perceived intelligence. On the other hand, neither the use of different motion planning algorithms nor the previous participants’ experience significantly influenced perceived intelligence.

Various strain sensors have been developed due to their capability to monitor a piece of basic physiological information. However, a lot of existing strain sensor is based on planar soft sensors, which have a few critical challenges such as structural mismatch and stable fixation on the target organ. Here, we present a 1-dimensional and biocompatible capacitive fiber strain sensor. The fiber strain sensor comprises a conductive fiber electrode based on Au, a representative biocompatible material. The structure of the fiber strain sensor is a double helix. The sensor shows high sensitivity of ~9.8 and high stability.

Soft-growing robots are promising for a variety of applications, such as navigating and inspecting confined and challenging environments. These robots can elongate up to tens of meters and have morphological adaptation and tip-extension capabilities. However, evaluating their performance across various design aspects or environmental conditions can be difficult due to their long manufacturing times. In this paper, we present a computationally efficient dynamics model derived using the Euler-Lagrange equation for a class of soft-growing robots known as “vine robots.” alongside a PD feedback control with gravity compensation. We have performed simulation experiments to validate both the dynamics model and the PD feedback control. The results of these experiments can provide valuable insights for future model-based feedback control design and simulation-based performance evaluation.

Currently, there is no affordable, everyday use chiropractic force sensor. Devices that are used to teach chiropractic students, such as activators and drop tables, assist students in learning but do not give adequate feedback. Our design will be implementing the cheapest materials to make the most reliable force sensing glove which chiropractors can use for their daily work needs. Materials needed to complete this project include pressure sensors, electrical wires, resistors, a breadboard, Raspberry Pi Pico W, a laptop with Thonny software installed, and an analog to digital converter. Our design of the chiropractic force sensor glove will help reduce the amount of confusion when determining the correct amount of force to apply to a chiropractor’s patient. This research will also help to dramatically reduce any severe pain resulting from misplaced forces and pressure applied to chiropractic patients.

The desired development and design of an electric control system (ECS) for a precision planter is one of the most crucial elements in evaluating the efficacy of applicators for plant production. The seeds would be sown using this approach. Years have been invested in the continuous development of a range of application methods and metering systems, each of which offers specific advantages for applying the required system with a high degree of precision. Researchers worldwide have been trying to make electric-driven seed meters (EDSM) for planters, but they haven't succeeded. This study looks into the current state of installing seed metering systems for precision planters. Proportional-integral (PI) and sliding mode control (SMC) designs of the control system have been implemented to improve the planting quality of the planters. We want to highlight the electrically driven control system (EDCS) using these designs. An overview of the noteworthy features and limitations of past research is given. We also discuss several future directions for future research, concentrating on the knowledge gaps in this area.
