Topic: Multirobot Control Using Time-Varying Density Functions
2015
Abstract: An approach is presented for influencing teams of robots by means of time-varying density functions,
representing rough references for where the robots should be located. A continuous-time coverage algorithm
is proposed and distributed approximations are given whereby the robots only need to access information from
adjacent robots. Robotic experiments show that the proposed algorithms work in practice, as well as in theory.

Topic: Wall-Following Control of a Hexapod Robot Using a Data-Driven Fuzzy Controller Learned
Through Differential Evolution
2015
Abstract: This paper proposes the use of evolutionary fuzzy control for a wall-following hexapod robot. The
data driven fuzzy controller (FC) is learned through an adaptive group-based differential evolution (AGDE)
algorithm, which avoids the explicit usage of the robot mathematical model and time-consuming manual design
effort. In the wall following task, the inputs of the FC are measurements of three infrared distance sensors
mounted on the hexapod robot. The FC controls the swing angle changes of the left- and right-middle legs of the
hexapod robot for proper turning performance while simultaneously moving forward. To automate the design of
the FC and to improve the performance of control, an AGDE algorithm is proposed. In the AGDE-designed FC,
a cost function is defined to quantitatively evaluate the learning performance of an FC based on data generated
online. In the AGDE, the solution vectors in a population are adaptively clustered into different groups based on
their performances at each iteration. To improve optimization performance, the AGDE adaptively selects
components from either the group-based mutant vector or a typical population-based mutant vector in the
mutation operation. Simulated and experimental results are gathered to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of
the data-driven AGDE-based learning approach.
Topic: A Sensor-Based Dual-Arm Tele-Robotic System
03
EMB_2015_03
2015
Abstract: We present a novel system to achieve coordinated task-based control on a dual-arm industrial robot
for the general tasks of visual servoing and bimanual hybrid motion/force control. The industrial robot,
consisting of a rotating torso and two seven degree-of-freedom arms, performs autonomous vision-based target
alignment of both arms with the aid of fiducial markers, two-handed grasping and force control, and robust
object manipulation in a tele-robotic framework. The operator uses hand motions to command the desired
position for the object via Microsoft Kinect while the autonomous force controller maintains a stable grasp.
Gestures detected by the Kinect are also used to dictate different operation modes. We demonstrate the
effectiveness of our approach using a variety of common objects with different sizes, shapes, weights, and
surface compliances.
Topic: Automated Health Alerts Using In-Home Sensor Data for Embedded Health Assessment
04
EMB_2015_04
2015
Abstract: We present an example of unobtrusive, continuous monitoring in the home for the purpose
of assessing early health changes. Sensors embedded in the environment capture behavior and activity patterns.
Changes in patterns are detected as potential signs of changing health. We first present results of a preliminary
study investigating 22 features extracted from in-home sensor data. A 1-D alert algorithm was then implemented
to generate health alerts to clinicians in a senior housing facility. Clinicians analyze each alert and provide a
rating on the clinical relevance. These ratings are then used as ground truth for training and testing classifiers.
Here, we present the methodology for four classification approaches that fuse multisensory data. Results are
shown using embedded sensor data and health alert ratings collected on 21 seniors over nine months. The best
results show similar performance for two techniques, where one approach uses only domain knowledge and the
second uses supervised learning for training. Finally, we propose a health change detection model based on these
results and clinical expertise. The system of in-home sensors and algorithms for automated health alerts provides
a method for detecting health problems very early so that early treatment is possible. This method of passive inhome sensing alleviates compliance issues.

Topic: Security-Aware Modeling and Efficient Mapping for CAN-Based Real-Time Distributed
Automotive Systems
Abstract: Security has become a critical issue for automotive electronic systems. To protect against attacks,
security mechanisms have to be applied, but the overhead of those mechanisms may
impede system performance and cause violations of design constraints. To remedy this problem, we proposed an
integrated mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation that is the first to
address both security and safety constraints during system mapping for controller area network (CAN) based
systems [10]. However, its signal-based security constraints do not fully reflect real security requirements, and its
objective function is to minimize functional path latencies rather than minimize security risk. Furthermore, its
MILP-based
approach
has
high
computation
complexity.

In this work, we present a new formulation that defines path-based security constraints and minimizes security
risk directly, and propose a new heuristic algorithm to solve the formulation efficiently. Experiments on an
industrial example show that our new algorithm achieves comparable solution quality as the MILP-based
approach with much better efficiency.

Abstract: This letter proposes a holistic framework for the design and operation of secure and reliable resourceconstrained
cyber-physical
systems.
The
proposed
framework
combines
control-theoretic methods, information security notions and computational models to characterize tradeoffs
among different design and operation objectives. We quantify the intricate relation among control performance,
system security and platform schedulability through a minimal set of interface variables. We argue that security
mechanisms
and
control
algorithms
need
to
be codesigned and comanaged with the embedded platform, so as to avoid the design of algorithms that are too

Abstract: This article is the first of a two-part series on the topic of visual servo control using computer vision
data in the servo loop to control the motion of a robot. In the present article, we describe the basic techniques that
are by now well established in the field. We first give a general overview of the formulation of the visual servo
control problem. We then describe the two archetypal visual servo control schemes: image-based and positionbased visual servo control. Finally, we discuss performance and stability issues that pertain to these two schemes,

Abstract: oft wearable robots are good alternatives to rigid-frame exoskeletons because they are compact and
lightweight. This article describes a soft wearable hand robot called the Exo-Glove mechanism. The proposed
system can be used to develop other types of soft wearable robots. The glove part of the system is compact and
weighs 194 g. The results that uses a soft tendon routing system and an underactuation adaptive
conducted using a healthy subject showed sufficient performance for the execution of daily life
activities, namely a pinch force of 20 N, a wrap grasp force of 40 N, and a maximum grasped
object size of 76 mm. The use of an underactuation mechanism enabled the grasping of
objects of various shapes without active control.

Abstract: This letter analyses and compares on-chip interfaces for hardware/software communications in the
Zynq-7000 all programmable systems-on-chip. Many experiments were carried out to evaluate the exchange of
data between the processing system and the programmable logic through general-purpose and high-performance
ports; the experiments were conducted for both standalone and Linux applications. The results enable the most
effective interfaces for specific types of data to be identified and the effectiveness of Zynq-based hardware
accelerators to be assessed.
Topic: Task-Aware Interrupt Controller: Priority Space Unification in Real-Time Systems

Abstract; In the development of real-time systems, predictability is often hindered by technological factors
which
break
the
timing
abstractions
offered
by
real
time
operating
systems
(RTOSs); namely, the priority space separation between threads and interrupts induces the rate-monotonic
problem. Software approaches have tackled this issue, attempting to unify the priority
space with varying degrees of success. We present a hardware approach to the problem: unifying the priority
space at the interrupt handling subsystem, predictability is greatly enhanced with minimum software
modifications. Our solution provides the interrupt controller with awareness of the currently running
task’s priority making the solution independent of the used operating system. We show how our approach is
minimally intrusive at hardware architecture level and provides benefits beyond the
capabilities of previous approaches. Our technique shows a 0.05% run-time overhead if no interrupts occur, and
run-time reduction proportional to interrupt rate for rates higher than 5 per s, for a
interrupt workload around 0.07 ms.

Topic: Scheduling Dynamic Hard Real-Time Task Sets on Fully and Partially Reconfigurable Platforms
11
EMB_2015_11
2015
Abstract: Reconfigurable systems are increasingly being employed in a large class of today’s heterogeneous
real-time embedded systems which often demand satisfaction of stringent timeliness constraints. However,
executing a set of hard real-time applications on reconfigurable systems such that all timing
constraints are satisfied while also allowing efficient resource utilization requires effective scheduling, mapping
and admission control strategies. This letter presents methodologies for scheduling periodic hard real-time
dynamic task sets on fully and partially reconfigurable field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
The floor of the FPGA is assumed to be statically equipartitioned into a set of homogeneous tiles (each of which
act as individual processing elements or PEs) such that any arbitrary task of the given task set may be feasibly
mapped into the area of a given tile. Experimental results reveal that the proposed algorithms are able
to achieve high resource utilization with low task rejection rates over a variety of simulation scenarios.
Topic: Exploiting Partially-Forgetful Memories for Approximate Computing

Abstract: While the memory subsystem is already a major contributor to energy consumption of embedded
systems,
the
guard-banding
required
for
masking
the
effects
of
ever
increasing
manufacturing variations in memories imposes even more energy overhead. In this letter, we explore how
Partially-Forgetful Memories can be used by exploiting the intrinsic tolerance of a vast class of applications to
some level of error for relaxing this guard-banding in memories. We discuss the challenges to
be addressed and introduce Relaxed Cache as an exemplar to address these challenges for partially-forgetful
SRAM caches. Preliminary results show how adapting guard-bands to application characteristics can help the
system save significant amount of cache leakage energy (up to 74%) while still generating
acceptable quality results.
Topic: Hibernus: Sustaining Computation During Intermittent Supply for Energy-Harvesting System
13
EMB_2015_13
2015
Abstract: A key challenge to the future of energy-harvesting systems is the discontinuous power supply that is
often generated. We propose a new approach, Hibernus, which enables computation to be sustained during
intermittent supply. The approach has a low energy and time overhead which is achieved by reactively
hibernating: saving system state only once, when power is about to be lost, and then sleeping until the supply
recovers. We validate the approach experimentally on a processor with FRAM nonvolatile memory, allowing it
to reactively hibernate using only energy stored in its decoupling capacitance. When compared to a recently
proposed technique, the approach reduces processor time and energy overheads by 76%–100% and 49%–79%
respectively.
Topic: A Security Layer for Smartphone-to-Vehicle Communication Over Bluetooth
14
EMB_2015_14
2015
Abstract: Modern vehicles are increasingly being interconnected with computer systems, which collect
information both from vehicular sources and Internet services. Unfortunately, this creates a nonnegligible attack
surface, which extends when vehicles are partly operated via smartphones. In this letter, a
hierarchically distributed control system architecture which integrates a smartphone with classical embedded
systems is presented, and an ad-hoc, end-to-end security layer is designed to demonstrate how a smartphone can
interact securely with a modern vehicle without requiring modifications to the existing in-vehicle
network. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.

Abstract: The design and development of a smart monitoring and controlling system for household
electrical appliances in real time has been reported in this paper. The system principally monitors
electrical parameters of household appliances such as voltage and current and subsequently
calculates the power consumed. The novelty of this system is the implementation of the controlling
mechanism of appliances in different ways. The developed system is a low-cost and flexible in
operation and thus can save electricity expense of the consumers. The prototype has been
extensively tested in real-life situations and experimental results are very encouraging.

Abstract: In traditional methodology to find the motion of human we have some devices like video camera,
radar, ultrasonic sensor etc. In case of video camera another human have to continuously monitor the video. If
we use radar or ultrasonic sensor, we need a transmitter and a receiver. So these are high in cost and most of the
jamming techniques are there to cheat (i.e. stealth bomber planes). But there is another interesting sensing device
used to find the motion of human (i.e.) PIR (Pyroelectric Infra Red sensor). It absorbs the infrared radiation
(wave length of 9.4 micro meters) from the human body and creates a corresponding signal. As it has protection
devices like lenses it is less suppose to be cheated. As this is sensitive only human body heat and frequency of
radiation, this sensor can be used to find human upto 3 meter to 90 meter distance (using perfect Fresnel lenses).
So it helps to find human availability beyond the barriers like walls and fire etc. It can be used as earth quake
rescuer.

Topic: Passenger BUS Alert System for Easy Navigation of Blind

NEMB1424
Abstract: Talking signs, guide cane, echolocations are all useful in navigating the visually challenged
people to reach their destination, but the main objective is not reached that it fails to join them with
traffic. In this project we propose a bus system using wireless sensor networks (WSNs).The blind people
in the bus station is provided with a ZigBee unit which is recognized by the ZigBee in the bus and the
indication is made in the bus that the blind people is present in the station. So the bus stops at the
particular station. The desired bus that the blind want to take is notified to him with the help of speech
recognition system HM2007. The blind gives the input about the place he has to reach using
microphones and the voice recognition system recognizes it .The input is then analyzed by the
microcontroller which generates the bus numbers corresponding to the location provided by the blind.
These bus numbers are converted into audio output using the voice synthesizer APR 9600. The ZigBee
transceiver in the bus sends the bus number to the transceiver with the blind and the bus number is
announced to the blind through the headphones. The blind takes the right bus parked in front of him
and when the destination is reached it is announced by means of the GPS-634R which is connected with
the controller and voice synthesizer which produces the audio output. This project is also aimed at
helping the elder people for independent navigation.

Review and Application

NEMB1423
2014
Abstract: Agricultural operations are constantly becoming technology-driven mainly due to labor shortages,
increase in labor cost, and trends in new and advanced technology applications. In this paper, we have presented
a system-of-systems approach to design and development of a mobile robotic platform for agricultural
applications. Similar to other field robots, the mobile platform for agricultural applications requires a different
set of predefined attributes for its operation. We have designed, fabricated, and demonstrated the mobile platform
for pesticide spraying application. The design and development includes synergistic integration of mechanical,
sensor and actuator, navigational and control, and electronic and software interfacings. The autonomous
navigation aspect of the development was achieved via three stages: learning stage, implementation stage
(training stage), and testing stage. In the learning stage, we defined the path patterns and studied and recorded the
behavior of the vehicle in real-world environment. In the training stage, various steering algorithms for fourwheel driving system were developed and inherent errors were compensated using advanced tools and methods.
In the testing stage, we put the robotic platform on an arbitrary path pattern and demonstrated its success in
autonomous navigation. The medium-sized mobile robot can be commercialized for greenhouse-based
agricultural operations.
Topic: Autonomous Appliance Scheduling for Household Energy Management

NEMB1422
Abstract: The advancement of renewable energy technologies has seen the emergence of customer owned grid
tied wind and solar micro grids. These micro grids offer an opportunity to energy users to lower their energy
costs as well as enabling the power suppliers to regulate the utility grid. However, the integration of the
renewable energy based sources into the smart grid increases the complexity of the main grid. The success of this
scheme will be heavily reliant on accurate real-time information exchange between the micro grid, the main grid,
and the consumers. The communication between these agents will be critical in implementation of intelligent
decisions by the smart grid. The micro grids will be required to relay energy forecasts information to the utility
grid. Similarly, customers will be expected to submit energy demand schedules, to actively monitor energy price
signals, to participate in energy bids, and to respond to energy management signals in real time. This kind of
grid-user interaction will be overwhelming and could result in consumer apathy. There is therefore a need to
develop smart systems that will autonomously execute all thesetasks without the prompting of the customers.
This paper presents one such approach. In this study, we proposed a demand side energy management for a grid

Topic: A Compact and Compliant External Pipe-Crawling Robot

NEMB1421
2014
Abstract: The focus of this paper is on the practical aspects of design, prototyping, and testing of a compact,
compliant external pipe-crawling robot that can inspect a closely spaced bundle of pipes in hazardous
environments and areas that are inaccessible to humans. The robot consists of two radially deployable compliant
ring actuators that are attached to each other along the longitudinal axis of the pipe by a bidirectional linear
actuator. The robot imitates the motion of an inchworm. The novel aspect of the compliant ring actuator is a
spring-steel compliant mechanism that converts circumferential motion to radial motion of its multiple gripping
pads. Circumferential motion to ring actuators is provided by two shape memory alloy (SMA) wires that are
guided by insulating rollers. The design of the compliant mechanism is derived from a radially deployable
mechanism. A unique feature of the design is that the compliant mechanism provides the necessary kinematic
function within the limited annular space around the pipe and serves as the bias spring for the SMA wires. The
robot has a control circuit that sequentially activates the SMA wires and the linear actuator; it also controls the
crawling speed. The robot has been fabricated, tested, and automated. Its crawling speed is about 45 mm/min,
and the weight is about 150 g. It fits within an annular space of a radial span of 15 mm to crawl on a pipe of 60mm outer diameter.
Topic: O-Track: Towards Order Tracking for Tags in Mobile RFID Systems

NEMB1420
2014
Abstract: In many logistics applications of RFID technology, luggage attached with tags are placed on moving
conveyor belts for processing. It is important to figure out the order of goods on the belts so that further actions
like sorting can be accurately taken on proper goods. Due to arbitrary goods placement or the irregularity of
wireless signal propagation, neither of the order of tag identification nor the received signal strength provides
sufficient evidence on their relative positions on the belts. In this study, we observe, from experiments, a critical
region of reading rate when a tag gets close enough to a reader. This phenomenon, as well as other signal
attributes, yields the stable indication of tag order. We establish a probabilistic model for recognizing the
transient critical region and propose the OTrack protocol to continuously monitor the order of tags. To validate
the protocol, we
evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness through a one-month experiment conducted through a working conveyor
at BeijingCapital International Airport.
Topic: Portable Roadside Sensors for Vehicle Counting, Classification, and Speed Measurement
7
NEMB1419
2014
Abstract: This paper focuses on the development of a portable roadside magnetic sensor system for vehicle
counting, classification, and speed measurement. The sensor system consists of wireless anisotropic magnetic
devices that do not require to be embedded in the roadway—the devices are placed next to the roadway and
measure traffic in the immediately adjacent lane. An algorithm based on a magnetic field model is proposed to
make the system robust to the errors created by larger vehicles driving in the nonadjacent lane. These false calls
cause an 8% error if uncorrected. The use of the proposed algorithm reduces this error to only 1%. Speed
measurement is based on the calculation of the cross correlation between longitudinally spaced sensors. Fast
computation of the cross correlation is enabled by using frequency-domain signal processing techniques. An
algorithm for automatically correcting for any small misalignment of the sensors is utilized. A high-accuracy
differential Global Positioning System is used as a reference to measure vehicle speeds to evaluate the accuracy
of the speed measurement from the new sensor system. The results show that the maximum error of the speed
estimates is less than 2.5% over the entire range of 5–27 m/s (11–60 mi/h). Vehicle classification is done based
on the magnetic length and an estimate of the average vertical magnetic height of the vehicle. Vehicle length is
estimated from the product of occupancy and estimated speed. The average vertical magnetic height is estimated
using two magnetic sensors that are vertically spaced by 0.25 m. Finally, it is shown that the sensor system can
be used to reliably count the number of right turns at an intersection, with an accuracy of 95%. The developed
sensor system is compact, portable, wireless, and inexpensive. Data are presented from a large number of
vehicles on a regular busy urban road in the Twin Cities, MN,USA.

Abstract: Various road user charging mechanisms are used to control traffic and its resulting pollution, as well
as revenue sources for reinvestment in the road infrastructure. Among them, electronic toll collection (ETC)
systems based on user positions estimated with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are particularly
attractive due to their flexibility and reduced roadside infrastructure in comparison to other systems such as

liability critical applications, should monitor the integrity of GNSS signals in order to limit the use of faulty
positions and the consequent charging errors. The integrity-monitoring systems have been originally designed for
civil aviation; hence, they need to be adapted to the ETC requirements. This paper studies the use of receiver
autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM), which are algorithms run within the GNSS receiver and, therefore, are
easier to tune to ETC needs than other systems based on external information. The weighted least squares
residual RAIM used in civil aviation is analyzed, and an algorithm modification for ETC is proposed.
Simulations demonstrate that the proposed RAIM algorithm has a superior level of availability over civilaviation-based RAIM procedures, particularly in urban environments.
Topic: A Decentralized Cooperative Control Scheme with Obstacle Avoidance for a Team of Mobile
Robots
9
NEMB1417
2014
Abstract: The problem of formation control of a team of mobile robots based on the virtual and behavioral
structures is considered in this paper. In the virtual structure, each mobile robot is modeled by an electric charge.
The mobile robots move toward a circle and due to repulsive forces between the identical charges, regular
polygon formations of the mobile robots will be realized. For swarm formation, a virtual mobile robot is located
at the center of the circle, and other mobile robots follow it. In the introduced approach, each mobile robot finds
its position in the formation, autonomously, and the formation can change automatically in the case of change in
the number of the mobile robots. This paper also proposes a technique for avoiding obstacles based on the
behavioral structure. In this technique, when a mobile robot gets close to an obstacle, while moving toward its
target, a rotational potential field is applied to lead the mobile robot to avoid the obstacle, without locating in
local minima positions.
Topic: Circuit Design and Power Consumption Analysis of Wireless Gas Sensor Nodes: One-Sensor
Versus Two-Sensor Approach
10
NEMB1416
2014
Abstract: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have recently been applied in industrial monitoring applications
including hazardous gases detection. As a major power consumer of a node, gas sensors may significantly
constrain its lifetime. Hence, the sensing circuit must be carefully designed to optimize
performance and retain accuracy. In this paper, we propose for the first time the principle of gas concentration
measurement based on a single sensor in a voltage divider circuit, instead of the well-known Wheatstone bridge
sensing circuit, which employs two sensors. We discuss the design of a real WSN node for gas sensing and
evaluate it with respect to an identical platform that uses the Wheatstone bridge. The proposed approach ensures
significant energy savings and helps to avoid zero offset issue. Besides, we employ a more efficient and secure
sensor heating profile; it does not damage the sensor and does not make gas sensing dependent on environmental
conditions. Experimental results show a 30% reduction in power with respect to the state-of-the-art.

Abstract: The mining industry employs more than three million people and exports more than US$26 billion

industries, where hostile environments make it desirable to track personnel closely for safety reasons (for more
information on RFID, see the sidebar). RFID can also help manage and control a fleet of mine vehicles, which is
especially beneficial given the increased use of remotely directed units. Close control of hazardous materials,
such as explosives and detonators, is also critical in mining operations, presenting new opportunities for RFID.
Topic: Modeling and Detecting Aggressiveness From Driving Signals
2014

NEMB1414
Abstract: The development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs) will be a crucial element in the
construction of future intelligent transportation systems with the objective of reducing the number of traffic
accidents and their subsequent fatalities. Specifically, driving behaviors could be monitored online to determine
the crash risk and provide warning information to the driver via their ADAS. In this paper, we focus on
aggressiveness as one of the potential causes of traffic accidents. We demonstrate that aggressiveness can be
detected by monitoring external driving signals such as lateral and longitudinal accelerations and speed. We
model aggressiveness as a linear filter operating on these signals, thus scaling their probability distribution
functions and modifying their mean value, standard deviation, and dynamic range. Next, we proceed to validate
this model via an experiment, conducted under real driving conditions, involving ten different drivers, traveling a
route with five different types of road sections, subject to both smooth and aggressive behaviors. The obtained
results confirm the validity of the model of aggressiveness. In addition, they show the generality of this model
and its applicability to specific driving signals (speed, longitudinal, and lateral accelerations), every single driver,
and every road type. Finally, we build a classifier capable of detecting aggressive behavior from the driving
signal. This classifier achieves a success rate up to 92%.

Abstract : The article develops a multi-docking system with a mobile robot and three docking stations. The
docking structure is designed with one active degree of freedom and two passive degrees of freedom. The
controller of the power detection devices is HOLTEK microchip, and acquires measurement values of the realtime current and voltage of the mobile robot and the docking stations. The power detection devices contain three
power detection systems and one power detection module. The power detection system is embedded in the
docking station and monitors the real-time information for the charging process. The controller of the mobile
robot receives these measurement values from the power detection module via RS232 interface. The article
focuses on the searching process using multiple sensors and a laser range finder for the mobile robot. The laser
range finder searches the landmark of each docking station, and guides the mobile robot moving to the assigned
docking station. In the experimental results, the power of the mobile robot is under the threshold value. The
mobile robot selects the free and nearest docking station according to the received information from each
docking station via wireless RF interfaces. The laser range finder guides the mobile robot moving approach to
the assigned docking station. The power of the mobile robot is enough to be detected by the power detection
module. The docking station turns off the charging current, and trigs the mobile robot leaving the docking station
via wireless RF interface.
Topic: A GSM-based Versatile Unmanned Ground Vehicle
Abstract: Operations like radioactive waste handling, bomb disposal, surveillance, search and rescue are
today performed mostly by humans at great risk to their own safety and wellbeing. In order to

Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) mounted with a robotic manipulator is presented in this paper. The
robustness, range and security of the communication link between the remote base station and the robot,
obstacle avoidance and the real time control of the robot are some of the major issues encountered
while deploying such robots in the above scenarios. In this paper, the design of a versatile UGV which
leverages the already existing GSM mobile telephony network to establish a longrange, secure, fast and
reliable connection with the remote base station is presented. The UGV is also mounted with a robotic
manipulator with four degrees of freedom with a gripper type end-effector, which can be used for
grabbing objects and thus help in search and rescue type operations. The robot is equipped with IR sensors and
camera for obstacle detection and avoidance. The camera is also used to send the visual information back to
the base station in real-time, allowing accurate control of and monitoring over long distances.

NEMB1409
Abstract: Robotics industry has replaced human efforts gradually in performing rather difficult tasks. A
very pertinent aspect of an intelligent security robot is to reach the goal safely by avoiding unknown obstacles
in an unknown environment. In this paper we have developed an embedded C program code to design an
intelligent robot which can overcome the obstacles coming in its way. We have made use of three infrared
sensors to detect the obstacles via the IR communication technique. The IR transmitter sends out infrared
radiation in a direction which consequently bounces back on coming across the surface of an object and
thereafter is picked up by the IR receiver. Authors have applied a multi sensor integration technique to
sense the obstacles using an LED based IR transmitter and receiver module integrated with the 8051 micro
controller which permits collision free navigation of robots.

of reading the particular license. The same automobile should have the facility of fingerprint reader device. A
person, who wishes to drive the vehicle, should insert the card (license) in the vehicle and then swipe his/her
finger. If the finger print stored in the card and fingerprint swiped in the device matches, he/she can proceed for
ignition, otherwise ignition will not work. Moreover, the seat belt detector verifies and then prompts the user to
wear the seat belt before driving. This increases the security of vehicles and also ensures safe driving by
preventing accidents.

Topic: A Novel Design For Vehicle License Plate Detection and Recognition
21
NEMB1405
Abstract: License plate recognition (LPR) plays a major role in this busy world, as the number of vehicles
increases day by day, theft of vehicles, breaking traffic rules, entering restricted area are also increases linearly,
so to block this act license plate recognition system is designed. License Plate Recognition systems basically
consist of 3 main processing steps such as: Detection of number plate, Segmentation of plate characters
and Recognition of each character. Among this, character segmentation is a most challenging task, as the
accuracy of the character recognition relies on the accuracy of the character segmentation. Problems of
different lighting condition, adhesion, fracture, rivet, rotation degrades the accuracy of the character
segmentation. So in order to come these problems and uplift the accuracy of character segmentation various
algorithms are developed for this work. This thesis presents a robust method of license plate location,
segmentation and reorganization of the characters present in the located plate. The images of various
vehicles have been acquired and converted in to gray-scale images. Then noise present in the plates are
removed and the segmentation of gray scale image generated by finding edges for smoothing image is used
to reduce the number of connected component and then bw label is used to calculate the connected component.
Finally, single character in the license plate is detected. The aim is to show that the proposed method
achieved high accuracy by optimizing various parameters with higher recognition rate than the traditional
methods.

Topic: Vision-Based Path Planning with Obstacle Avoidance for Mobile Robots using Linear Matrix
Inequalities

NEMB1404
2014
Abstract: In this paper, a vision-based obstacle avoiding path generation problem is considered for autonomous
mobile robots under a top-view workspace. The collision-free path planning problem is converted to a convex
optimization problem that can be solved numerically using linear matrix inequalities (LMI). A new optimal
(shortest) path cost formulation is given for LMI optimization using a novel Line of Sight Meshing (LSM)
method. As compared to the traditional meshing algorithms such as Voronoi and Delaunay, the LSM generates
fewer mesh cells which results in reduced computation time. A virtual path diagram (VPD), consisting of all
collision-free piecewise straight line paths, is then found for robot navigation. The LMI optimization method is
then used to find the optimal (shortest) collision-free path from the VPD set. In addition to distance, other
constraints, such as terrain condition and curvature of the path can be incorporated in the cost function for
constrained optimal solution. Finally, a rapid prototyping (RP) environment has been developed, which is used
for hardware implementation of the algorithm. The generated paths are then converted to motion commands,
which are sent wirelessly from a base-station to mobile robots for motion control.

2014
Abstract: The Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria has become menace and threat to the security of lives and
property most especially in the Northern part of the country. The use of Bombs and dangerous unsuspected
objects is the weapon employed to carry out this deadly act. The number of lives lost as well as personnel who
sustain injuries while discharging their duties is now on the increase as a result of lack of initial assessment of a
dreadful scene or an object suspected to be harmful. Though preventive and counter attacking measures, such as
use of protective vest have been employed to reduce the risk experienced; these however do not guarantee safety
which can run into huge cost to restore in terms of infrastructures and properties. Hence this paper proposes the
development of a robotic arm for dangerous object disposal. A three-degree of freedom robotic arm was
developed using a microcontroller programmed with (MPLAB) integrated development environment software,
interfaced to a camera that transmits the video by way of monitoring the scene on a television set. The system is
activated by a remote control thereby providing a line of defense to human lives and preventing loss of proven
and tested personnel.

Topic: HEART RATE MONITOR
Abstract: Heart rate can be measured either by the ECG waveform or by the blood flow into the finger (pulse
method). The pulse method is simple and convenient. When blood flows during the systolic stroke of the
heart into the body parts, the finger gets its blood via the radial artery on the arm. The blood flow into
the finger can be sensed photo electrically. To count the heart beats, here we use a small light source on one side
of the finger (thumb) and observe the change in light intensity on the other side. The blood flow causes
variation in light intensity reaching the light dependent resistor (LDR), which results in change in signal strength
due to change in the resistance of the LDR.’

Microcontroller-based embedded systems play major role in industrial automation. One such widely used
system is the programmable timer. The major applications of programmable timer are as follows: 1. initiating
the process after desired time. 2. Switching on/ off the process after
predetermined time 3. Providing delay in between processes 4. Applying input to on/off type open-loop
control system depending upon the requirement of process, one can set the time of programmable timer. As
the time period expires, the timer will either trigger 01'shut the process. Earlier
there were mechanical timers that used gear assembly (same as wall clock) and mechanical contacts. But the
problem with these was that due to mechanical parts and movements, they were not durable. Electronic
timers have become very popular as these have more functionalities and long
operating life. A simple electronic timer can be to enhance the programmable timer for generating precise
timing and additional features, micro controllers (embedded controllers) are used with peripheral devices. Some
of the features of programmable industrial on/ off timer presented
here include: 1. Time set from 1 to 60 seconds (canbe extended) 2.. 'On' time and' off' time can
beprogrammed (from 1 to 60 seconds 3. Repeat (continuous) and single operation 4. Fully remotecontrolled within 100-metre range

Abstract: When water in the tank is below sensor A, the motor will switch on to fill water in the tank. The LCD
module will show 'motor on.' The controller is programmer for a 10- minute time interval to check the dry-run
condition of the motor. If water reaches sensor B within 10 minutes, the micro
controller comes out of the dry-run condition and allows the motor to keep pushing water in the tank. The
motor will remain 'on' until water reaches sensor C. Then it will stop automatically and the microcontroller
will go into the standby mode. The LCD module will II show 'tank full' followed
by 'standby mode' after a few seconds. The 'standby mode' message is displayed until water and if the dryrun condition still persists, the display will show' drysump3' and the micro controller will not start the
motor automatically. Now you have to check the line for water and manually
reset the microcontroller to start operation. In the whole procedure, the micro controller checks for high and
low voltages. For example, when the voltage is high, it will scan for about two seconds to check whether it is a
fluctuation. If the voltage remains high after two seconds, the microcontroller will halt running of the
motor. Now it will wait for the voltage to settle down. After the voltage becomes normal, it will still check for
90 seconds whether the voltage is normal or not. After normal condition, it will go in the standby mode
and start the aforementioned procedure.

MEMB1438
Abstract: The parallel port of the PC is a powerful platform for implementing projects dealing with the
control of real-world peripherals. It can be used to control home and other electronic appliances. The computer
program through the interface circuit controls the relays, which, in turn, switch the appliances' on' or 'off.' Here
we describe how to wirelessly control electronic appliances from a remote place by using the RF module. For
this PC-based wireless appliances control system, you need to design and develop .the required hardware
and software. The parallel port of the PC is used to control the appliances at the transmitter side. The RF
interface is used instead of the IR to overcome all the drawbacks of the IR interface. The PC signals are
transmitted from the RF transmitter and received by the RF receiver.

Topic: MICRO CONTROLLER BASED ONE DC MOTOR CONTROLLER
43
MEMB1428
Abstract: Dc motor speed controllers are very useful for controlling the motion of robotic and industrial
automation systems. The controller presented here uses the pulse-width modulation (PWM) technique. The
PWM wave for speed control is generated using Atmel AT89C52 microcontroller. To control the speed of
the DC motor, you need a variable -voltage DC power source. When the DC motor is switched on, it
takes certain time to reach the full speed. As soon as the power supply is switched on, the DC motor
starts gaining speed and if you switch off the
power supply before it reaches the maximum rated speed, it starts to slow down. In case switching on and
switching off are done in quick succession, the motor rotates at a slower speed between zero and full rated speed.
This is what a PWM technique based controller does: it switches the motor' on' and 'off' with a pulse train. To
control the motor speed, it varies (modulates) the width of the pulses-hence the pulse width modulation.
When the motor is, on‟ for a short period and 'off' for a long one, it will rotate slowly. When the motor is 'on'
for most of the time and' off' only for a short while, it will rotate at higher speed, say, nearly at full (maximum)
rated speed.

Topic: MOVING MESSAGE DISPLAY USING ALPHA NUMERIC DISPLAY
46
MEMB1425
Abstract: LED-based moving- message displays are becoming popular for transmitting information to
large groups of people quickly. These can be used indoors or outdoors. We can find such displays in areas
like railway platforms, banks, public offices, hotels, training institutes, nightclubs and shops. Compared to
LEDs, liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) are easy to interface with a microcontroller for displaying
information as these have many built-in functions. But these can't be observed from a distance and large
size LCDs are very costly. LED-based displays can be of two types: dot-matrix and segmental. If you
implement a moving- message display with multiplexed dot- matrix LEDs, it will be very costly for displaying
16 characters or more at a time.
