1. Introduction Most western societies are currently faced with an ageing population, decreasing workforce and increasingly technology-supported care. Whilst digitalisation of healthcare and care technology developments are demonstrating their adequacy and benefits in replacing professionals for certain …

Frailty is a common but complex phenomenon that is approached from theoretical and professional perspectives but rarely from the perspectives of older people and their essential stakeholders. Different or opposing perspectives on frailty at personal, organisational, and community levels can negatively …

Crime script analysis as a methodology to analyse criminal processes is underdeveloped. This is apparent from the various approaches in which scholars apply crime scripting and present their cybercrime scripts. The plethora of scripting methods raise significant concerns about the reliability and validity …

Inspired by the MediaNumeric project, this issue of VIEW will take a closer look at the challenges journalists and multimedia makers face in a datafied world and how they might be trained to deal with them. The central question being how datafication for professionals is a multi-faceted challenge given …

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 …
