In the ubiquitous computing environment, we believe that P2P-based context-aware application utilizing sensing data is important. However, since sensors are not placed under the c...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have received considerable attention in recent years and opened up new possibilities for various commercial and industrial applications. A WSN cons...
Determining where a given sensor is physically located is a challenging issue. In this paper, we address the localization problem where, initially, a certain number of sensors cal...
Abstract— Knowledge of the driving environment is essential for robotic vehicles to comply with traffic rules while autonomously traversing intersections. However, due to limite...
—It is expected that the use of haptic sensors to measure the magnitude, direction, and distribution of a force will enable a robotic hand to perform dexterous manipulations. The...
