Standardisation landscape for 6G robotic services

With the increasing usage of robots in numerous vertical industries, the need for standardised solutions has intensified. A number of research and industrial communities and other Standards Developing Organisations (SDOs) have been actively working to identify areas in the robotics and automation sector that are suitable for standardisation. On...

An underpinning theory and approach to applicability testing of constructive computational mechanisms

Applicability testing of constructive computational mechanisms (CCMs) is a new challenge for both the academia and the industry. The overwhelming majority of the existing validation approaches focuses on the internal validity of CCMs (e.g. consistency, bias), while there is a shortage of efficient approaches for assessing the external...

Asymmetrical Modular Multilevel Converter with Sensorless Voltage Control for High-Quality Output

The paper proposes an Asymmetrical Modular Multilevel Converter (AMMC) suitable for low/medium-voltage dc-ac conversions with very high output quality. The modules' dc-links of the AMMC are charged to a binary exponential sequence to produce a large number of output levels using only a few modules.The concept of using asymmetrical dc-links...

Development and Piezoelectric Properties of a Stack Units-Based Piezoelectric Device for Roadway Application

To improve the energy harvesting efficiency of the piezoelectric device, a stack units-based structure was developed and verified. Factors such as stress distribution, load resistance, loads, and loading times influencing the piezoelectric properties were investigated using theoretical analysis and experimental tests. The results show that the...

SCIPoC: Semantic Classification of Indoor Point Cloud: A study into the possibilities of classifying indoor point cloud using a Deep Learning approach

With the constantly evolving range of applications for technology the quality and amount of data constantly increases as well. In this growing data environment, there is a constant search to provide more value to all data that is available for as little effort as possible. Our research tries to add such additional value by diving into the...

CITYJSON + WEB = NINJA

As web applications become more popular, 3D city models would greatly benefit from a proper web-based solution to visualise and manage them. CityJSON was introduced as a JSON encoding of the CityGML data model and promises, among several benefits, the ability to be integrated with modern web technologies. In order to provide an implementation...

Utilizing dynamic context semantics in smart behavior of informing cyber‐physical systems

Context is interpreted as a body of information dynamically created by a pattern of entities and relationships over a history of situations. Computational handling of dynamically changing contexts and the consideration of rapidly changing situations in awareness building, situated reasoning, and proactive adaptation of smart cyberphysical...

The application model of 3D cadastre in practical registration for real estate in China

Since the introduction of the concept of 3D cadastre, a great many of significant research results have been done. To promote the development of 3D cadatre, 3D cadastre working group sponsored by International Federation Surveyors (FIG) commissions 3 and 7 was organized by Delft University of Technology in 2001. This working group provides a...

Gamified Campus Engagement

Gamification is the process of integrating game mechanics into non-game contexts - a website, an application, an online community - to motivate par- ticipation and engagement. Several studies have highlighted the benefits of gamification in several applications. However, its potential benefits in the campus environment still need to be...

Conceptualization of a real-time information processing platform for context-aware informing cyber-physical systems

Informing cyber-physical systems (I-CPSs) are designed to accomplish sensing, reasoning and informing activities in dynamic context. In order to<br/>simplify and accelerate the design and implementation process of multiple context-aware ICPSs, we are developing an information sensing,<br/>computing and actuating (SCA) platform that can be used...

The Applications and Practices of 3D Cadastre in Shenzhen

As the economy and urbanization develop, the expansion of the city not only develops towards the horizontal space, but also towards the vertical space. Facing the development of three-dimensional (3D) space, the traditional two-dimensional (2D) cadastral management mode cannot satisfy the need of current 3D land use and urban plan, so developing...
