Robotic Systems for Deployment of Explosive Detection Sensors and Instruments
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is no "silver bullet" sensor technology that will win the explosives interdiction war; rather, there is an arsenal of partial but complementary weapons, sensors and instruments that can be dynamically reconfigured, combined, and deployed against a fast evolving spectrum of terrorist threats to commercial air transport. The paper describes an integrated solution, implemented by a system of robots and computers, that relieves the human inspectors of the routine portions of their jobs, reserving their energies and uniquely human judgement skills for responding to the exceptions flagged by the machines.

Design and evaluation of two distributed methods for sensors placement in Wireless Sensor Networks
Adequate coverage is one of the main problems for distributed wireless sensor networks and The effectiveness of that highly depends on the sensor deployment scheme. Given a finite number of sensors, optimizing the sensor deployment will provide sufficient sensor coverage and save power of sensors for movement to target location to adequate coverage. In this paper, we apply fuzzy logic system to...

متن کاملROBOTIC SYSTEMS for DEPLOYING SENSORS to DETECT CONTRABAND in CARGO
We find all known contraband detection sensors and instruments to be in some important way imperfect. However, we find that some instruments that use penetrating radiation backscattering for bulk solids detection are viable in the hands of an expert operator/inspector. With this perspective we present a scenario for a staged program to expand and enhance existing detection capability: (1) deplo...

متن کاملMiniature sensor suitable for electronic nose applications.
A major research effort has been devoted over the years for the development of chemical sensors for the detection of chemical and explosive vapors. However, the deployment of such chemical sensors will require the use of multiple sensors (probably tens of sensors) in a sensor package to achieve selective detection. In order to keep the overall detector unit small, miniature sensors with suffici...
