چکیده
In this paper, we describe the concept of building a robot able to pursue a specific person through an airport while assisting with carrying that person’s luggage. After a review of the current devices available for performing these tasks, we described our approach that aims to develop a platform that could send and receive a signal that would provide a simple and practical means for the robot to determine a path and follow it that does not require the use of internal maps and the ability to self-localize. In particular, the approach is based on a control system able to execute obstacle avoidance and target following behavior. Also, a relative location device based on a signal emitter (placed on the target person) and a directional sensor (placed on the mobile platform). Figure 1. Conceptual Design

The Development of Reusable Luggage Tag with the Internet of Things for Mobile Tracking and Environmental Sustainability
With more than two billion passengers worldwide travelling by air each year, vast amounts of lost luggage and disposable paper adhesive luggage tags are pushing the aviation industry to improve luggage tracking and reduce the one-off adhesive luggage paper tags. This paper reviews the current application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in the luggage handling system and proposes the In...
متن کاملLocalized Detection of Abandoned Luggage
Abandoned luggage represents a potential threat to public safety. Identifying objects as luggage, identifying the owners of such objects, and identifying whether owners have left luggage behind are the three main problems requiring solution. This paper proposes two techniques which are “foreground-mask sampling” to detect luggage with arbitrary appearance and “selective tracking” to locate and ...
متن کاملImproving the detection of low-density weapons in x-ray luggage scans using image enhancement and novel scene-decluttering techniques
Very few image processing applications have dealt with x-ray luggage scenes in the past. Concealed threats in general, and low-density items in particular, pose a major challenge to airport screeners. A simple enhancement method for data decluttering is introduced. Initially, the method is applied using manually selected thresholds to progressively generate decluttered slices. Further automatio...
متن کاملRapid killing of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) on surfaces using heat: application to luggage.
BACKGROUND The resistance of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) to chemical insecticides has motivated the development of non-chemical control methods such as heat treatment. However, because bed bugs tend to hide in cracks or crevices, their behavior incidentally generates a thermally insulated microenvironment for themselves. Bed bugs located on the outer surface of luggage are less insulated an...
متن کاملSynthesis of CCII-s by superimposing VFs and CFs through genetic operations
It is introduced a new genetic algorithm to synthesize the negative-type second generation current conveyor (CCII-) by superimposing a voltage follower (VF) with a current follower (CF). First, the VF and CF are described by binary genes. Second, the gene CF is inverted, rigth-shifted and multiplied (AND operation) with the gene VF to verify that both genes can be superimposed to synthesize the...
