Autonomous Real Time Surveillance System

A Real-Time Autonomous Rover Navigation System

To enable real-time autonomous navigation, a mobile robot is equipped with on-board processing power, image-processing algorithms, and a fuzzy computation engine that allow the rover to safely navigate to a designated goal while avoiding obstacles and impassible terrains. The underlying architecture discussed in this paper utilizes real-time measurement of terrain characteristics and a fuzzy lo...

Real-time Automated MDRO Surveillance System

A web-based hospital-wide automated MultidrugResistant Organisms (MDRO) surveillance system was implemented in a 2200-beds medical center in Taiwan. Raw data (text) from clinical microbiology laboratory (external data provided) were evaluated using group mapping techniques to detect specimen reports positive of 28 patterns of defined MDRO. The time trends of the numbers were monitored by the th...

CamOn: A Real-Time Autonomous Camera Control System

This demonstration presents CamOn, an autonomous camera control system for real-time 3D games. CamOn employs multiple Artificial Potential Fields (APFs), a robot motion planning technique, to control both the location and orientation of the camera. Scene geometry from the 3D environment contributes to the potential field that is used to determine position and movement of the camera. Composition...

A Flexible Real-Time Control System for Autonomous Vehicles

In this paper we present a framework for the real-time control of lightweight autonomous vehicles which comprehends a proposed hardand software design. The system can be used for many kinds of vehicles and offers high computing power and flexibility in respect of the control algorithms and additional application dependent tasks. It was originally developed to control a small quad-rotor UAV wher...
