Within our research on robotic gas detection, we have focused on making a prototype based on Boston Dynamics SPOT, because it takes a lot of difficulties out of prototyping. For instance, it has its own obstacle avoidance algorithm, good drivers are available for ROS2, and SPOT is meant for outdoor …

RTK-GNSS (Real Time Kinematic - Global Navigation Satellite System) is based on a ‘rover’ GNSS antenna that receives error correction information from a ‘base’ GNSS antenna. While the rover can be placed on a robot to move around, the base station has the additional ‘knowledge’ of being stationary. …

The objective of this report is to share the results of the test that we have made to evaluate the localization performance of the Spot robot across three scenarios, each featuring different velocities in both translation and rotation.

In a home care setting, high-quality care is typically associated with continuity of care. In addition, the increasing pressure due to labor shortages calls for cost-efficient operations. This paper focuses on obtaining cost-efficient daily schedules over a longer time horizon, with balanced shift lengths, …

This study tries to understand the power of knowledge within collaborative care networks to provide insights for designing successful collaboration within care networks by combining intersectionality and epistemic (in)justice. Becoming an informal carer for someone with an acquired brain injury (ABI) …

In the Netherlands, many parents of children with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities care for their children at home. Little is known about how parents and involved healthcare professionals share and align medical care for these children. This study aims to contribute to a better understanding …

The aim of this study was to develop and examine the psychometric properties of the Tilburg Frailty Indica tor-Indonesian version (TFI-I). 308 community-dwelling older adults aged 60 years participated. The TFI-I exhibited favorable internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.775) and test retest reliability …

Within paediatric palliative care, it is essential for families and providers to have open, equal, and trusting relationships. In practice, however, building relationships can be challenging. Investing in better understanding the differences in each other's frames of reference and underlying values seems …

The idea that technologies influence society—both positively and negatively—is not new. This is mainly the terrain of the philosophy and the ethics of technolo-gy research. Similarly, design research aims to help create new technologies in line with individual, social, and societal needs and values. …
