In: International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN), ACM Digital Library, 2021, ISBN: 978-0-9949886-5-2, (Best Video Award for the Posters and Demos Track). (Type: Inproceedings | Abstract | Links)@inproceedings{Mosavat2021,We propose SOCRAETES, a simple to replicate tool used for recording and emulation of energy harvesting environments. SOCRAETES aims at aiding with repeatable experimentations during the design and evaluation of energy harvesting devices. The tool is particularly designed with the goal of avoiding complex hardware circuitry. This will allow researchers and hobbyists with little prior experience in electronics to replicate the work, and by doing so benefit from the insights such a tool provides for the design and evaluation of energy harvesting systems. The current implementation of SOCRAETES can measure and emulate solar cell voltages and currents in the range of 0-6.5 V and 0.5-55 mA, respectively. Moreover, the range of measurement and emulation can be modified for specific energy environments and harvesters by utilizing different passive components. This will, in turn, result in higher overall achievable accuracy. |

(Type: Journal Article | Abstract | Links)@article{Medina-Sanchez2020-1,The advancements in the robotic field have made it possible for service robots to increasingly become part of everyday indoor scenarios. Their ability to operate and reach defined goals depends on the perception and understanding of their surrounding environment. Detecting and positioning objects as well as people in an accurate semantic map are, therefore, essential tasks that a robot needs to carry out. In this work, we walk an alternative path to build semantic maps of indoor scenarios. Instead of relying on high-density sensory input, like the one provided by an RGB-D camera, and resource-intensive processing algorithms, like the ones based on deep learning, we investigate the use of low-density point-clouds provided by 3D LiDARs together with a set of practical segmentation methods for the detection of objects. By focusing on the physical structure of the objects of interest, it is possible to remove complex training phases and exploit sensors with lower resolution but wider Field of View (FoV). Our evaluation shows that our approach can achieve comparable (if not better) performance in object labeling and positioning with a significant decrease in processing time than established approaches based on deep learning methods. As a side-effect of using low-density point-clouds, we also better support people privacy as the lower resolution inherently prevents the use of techniques like face recognition. |
