This work describes the design, implementation and validation of an autonomous gas leakage inspection robot. Navigation with centimeter level accuracy is achieved using RTK GNSS integrated using the ROS 2 and Nav2 frameworks. The proposed solution has been validated successfully in terms of navigation …

This setup manual is meant to build the hardware for the CHARISMA setup, which contains the SPOT robot, backpack + GPS, gas sensor and beacon. The CHARISMA Demo Manual (KP01) will help to understand how to use software with the setup for autonomous exploration.

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 …

This research examines the impact of transitioning to an autonomous operation on the airside of Schiphol airport, with a specific focus on emissions that affect both the environment and the staff working within airport premises. This study will explore current emissions from vehicles on Schiphol's airside, …

[Company] has developed an innovative new product in the MedTech industry which uses robotics and AI to deliver an autonomous Transthoracic Echocardiogram (an ultrasound scan of the heart). [Company] …

In mobile robotics, LASER scanners have a wide spectrum of indoor and outdoor applications, both in structured and unstructured environments, due to their accuracy and precision. Most works that use this sensor have their own data representation and their own case-specific modeling strategies, and no …

Het samenwerkingsverband van a.s.r., Kropman, Hogeschool van Amsterdam en Venema E-mobility heeft een pilot DC Nanogrid ontworpen waarin de betrouwbaarheid en veiligheid gewaarborgd zijn. Speciale aandacht tijdens dit project is besteed aan zwerfstromen, kathodische bescherming en autonome aansturing …

Accurate localization in autonomous robots enables effective decision-making within their operating environment. Various methods have been developed to address this challenge, encompassing traditional techniques, fiducial marker utilization, and machine learning approaches. This work proposes a deep-learning …

Het Field Lab Autonoom Varen is een project waarin kennisinstellingen, overheden, de logistieke sector, de toeristische sector en technologieaanbieders samen innoveren en experimenteren met autonome vaartuigen. Hierbij gaat het onder andere om kennisvergaring over de toepassing van slimme technologieën …

Het veilig en autonoom regelend PV-laadplein met DC-distributie (VAP-DC) is een project waarin het ontwerpen, bouwen, testen en operationeel maken van een DC-netwerk (gelijkspanning) wordt aangetoond. Het systeem op het parkeerdek kan zonder AC (wisselspanning) opereren zoals het verzorgen van verlichting, …
