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 …

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.

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. …

This article has argued against waste in research endeavors so funding bodies, decision makers, and researchers can consider appropriate designs and methodologies for psycho social intervention in dementia. We highlight important methodological concerns which should be addressed. To reduce the gap between …

Sound Soils is a practice-oriented research initiative aimed at exploring opportunities for musicians to contribute to rural life in the Northern Netherlands, with a specific emphasis on participatory music practices. Grounded in Participatory Action Research methodology and ethnographic forms of data …

Urban densification is promoted for sustainable urban growth, yet it also generates concerns about negative health impacts on local citizens. Engaging local citizens in the co-design of densification projects is therefore crucial to address their needs and concerns. The use of immersive Virtual Reality …

Background Early onset dementia (EOD) presents unique challenges, particularly in managing anxiety, stress, and sleep disturbances. Within the Young-D project, the project partners developed workshop programme for people with EOD, with the aim to address these issues. The Young-D programme was piloted …

Rationale In bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurements, one pair of electrodes is typically placed dorsal on the right hand (position A) and one pair on the foot. In patients with fragile skin, scars or wounds, this dorsal hand placement is not always possible. This study compares agreement …

We present an industry use case in which we discuss the practical use of a formal list of definitions. The list of definitions will be used as a basis for a knowledge graph that will serve knowledge panels when interacting with information in the company and that will help improve question answering …

Wetlands are important centres of biodiversity and play a crucial role in the environment. But for a long time they have been badly damaged, particularly by human activity. In fact, two thirds of the original French wetlands have been destroyed. In one hundred years, this represents 2.5 million hectares, …
