This article introduces a novel middleware that utilizes cost-effective, low-power computing devices like Raspberry Pi to analyze data from wireless sensor networks (WSNs). It is designed for indoor settings like historical buildings and museums, tra...
A smart city is a future city that enables citizens to enjoy Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based smart services with any device, anytime, anywhere. It heavily utilizes Internet of Things. It includes many video cameras to provide var...
The widespread applications of the wireless Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the leading factors in the emerging of Big Data. Huge amounts of data need to be transferred and processed. The bandwidth and latency of data transfers have posed a new ch...
The 3D Gaussian splatting technique demonstrates significant efficiency advantages in real-time scene reconstruction. However, when its initialization process relies on traditional SfM methods (such as COLMAP), there are obvious bottlenecks, such as...
This paper presents an open-source ROS 2 navigation and sensor platform for quadruped robots, demonstrated on Boston Dynamics Spot in a laboratory environment. The platform integrates SLAM Toolbox for mapping and localisation, Navigation2 with MPPI a...
Existing robotic control frameworks often rely on complex hierarchical state machines or middleware infrastructures, which may be unsuitable for resource-constrained embedded systems and difficult to map directly to low-level code. This work presents...
The rising popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to a plethora of highly heterogeneous, geographically dispersed devices. In recent years, IoT platforms have been used to provide a variety of services to applications such as device disco...
Large language model (LLM) agents are becoming cognitive interfaces to data lakes, enterprise knowledge bases, vector memories, browsers, files, and software tools. This shift creates a data-governance gap: an agent may reason over large private cont...
The integration of emerging technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform agricultural harvesting by improving efficiency, reducing waste, lowering labor dependency, and enhancing produce quality. This...
This paper addresses the multi-phase homing and docking missions of over-actuated autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), where switching among forward cruising, reverse braking, and hovering can induce actuator saturation, rate limit violations, and...
A control that cannot be audited is a control that does not yet exist operationally. Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Internet of Things (IoT) devices in Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) environments expose this problem sharply: they export raw behaviour...
Climate control systems are critical to ensuring the continuous operation of data centers, as they maintain the environmental conditions required by sensitive electronic equipment. In this context, continuous supervision of refrigeration compressors...
