The Amsterdam Sensor Lab is part of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) and its goal is to develop application specific sensor systems for applied research. In order to (anonymously) measure, for instance, traffic without influencing people’s behaviour, a pressure sensing sub-tile is …

Research and development of robots which can support elderly or disabled people is pursued to increase the quality of home care. With the ever increasing quality and functions of robots, full-time care by these robots becomes feasible. To make the robot function without any human interferences, the robot …

Smart home technologies are a large potential market for the construction and building services industry. This chapter discusses the topics consultants, installers, and suppliers of home automation systems encounter when working in the field. Improved communication skills and more flexible approaches …

From Springer description: "We present the design considerations of an autonomous wireless sensor and discuss the fabrication and testing of the various components including the energy harvester, the active sensing devices and the power management and sensor interface circuits. A common materials platform, …

At the biomedical department of the TUDelft a sensor node is designed[1]. This is an Autonomous Wireless Sensor Node(AWSN) with temperature monitoring, which is powered up wirelessly and have data transmission through backscattering. The aim of the project is to design a receiver for the AWSN and to …

Het belang van draadloze oplossingen heeft ertoe geleid dat veel kleine en middelgrote bedrijven ook graag een draadloos netwerk geïmplementeerd willen hebben. Lumiad biedt het implementeren en beheren van draadloze netwerken al aan in de vorm van een dienst. Voor deze dienst wordt in de meeste gevallen …

Anomaly detection is a key factor in the processing of large amounts of sensor data from Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Efficient anomaly detection algorithms can be devised performing online node-local computations and reducing communication overhead, thus improving the use of the limited hardware …

In the GoGreen project an intelligent home that is able to identify inhabitants and events that take place is created. The location of sounds that are being produced is an important feature for the context awareness of this system. A a wireless solution that uses low-cost sensor nodes and microphones …

The maturing field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) results in long-lived deployments that produce large amounts of sensor data. Lightweight online on-mote processing may improve the usage of their limited resources, such as energy, by transmitting only unexpected sensor data (anomalies). We detect …

Uit onderzoek is gebleken dat lage CO2 concentraties van zo’n 1000 ppm al invloed hebben op de concentratie en productiviteit van werknemers. In kantoorgebouwen, vergaderruimtes en schoolgebouwen komt het nog wel eens voor dat de CO2 concentratie hoger is dan de gestelde grens van 1000 ppm. Daarom is …
