Our current smart society, where problems and frictions are smoothed out with smart, often invisi ble technology like AI and smart sensors, calls for designers who unravel and open the smart fabric. Societies are not malleable, and moreover, a smooth society without rough edges is neither desirable …

The Brains4Buildings project aims to develop methods to design new smart building climate management systems that, among other things, reduce energy consumption, increase comfort and respond flexibly to user behavior. We set out to develop design guidelines to help B4B stakeholders when designing innovative …

Bijna 60 procent van de ouderen heeft beperkte gezondheidsvaardigheden. Fysiotherpeuten hadden de vraag: Welke communicatiestrategieën en tools kunnen (verder) worden ontwikkeld, geëvalueerd en geïmplementeerd in de fysiotherapeutische behandeling voor patiënten met chronische aandoeningen en beperkte …

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.

In this document we present information about a test that we made to test SPOT with the RTK-GNSS and ROS2.

In this document you can find the code repository for the backpack.

The purpose of this report is to present the results of the test that we made to see whether we can reliably test at Alliander site.

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 …
