Solar based Multi-Tasking Agrobot

Solar Operated Agrobot

The basic requirements for small scale cropping machines are, they should be suitable for small farms, simple in design and technology and versatile for use in different farm operations. A manually operated template row planter was designed and developed to improve planting efficiency and reduce drudgery involved in manual planting method. Seed planting is also possible for different size of se...

Multi-tasking for TinyOS

Tasks in TinyOS execute non-preemptively and run to completion, forcing programmers to keep individual tasks short and spread lengthy operations across multiple tasks – a major divergence from conventional programming paradigms. This report documents our attempt to incorporate multi-tasking into TinyOS and its subsequent effect on power consumption of “motes”. We succeeded in modifying the Tiny...

Who Multi-Tasks and Why? Multi-Tasking Ability, Perceived Multi-Tasking Ability, Impulsivity, and Sensation Seeking

The present study examined the relationship between personality and individual differences in multi-tasking ability. Participants enrolled at the University of Utah completed measures of multi-tasking activity, perceived multi-tasking ability, impulsivity, and sensation seeking. In addition, they performed the Operation Span in order to assess their executive control and actual multi-tasking ab...

All for One: Multi-Modal, Multi-Tasking

We introduce Attention Teams, a unified framework for training multiple models end-to-end for multiple tasks. This paper explores banding together simple Gated Recurrent Units in teams coordinated by a high-level attention mechanism. The attention mechanism is operated by a GRU leader that determines how relevant the output of each GRU teammate is to the current input. This kind of coordination...
