A Location and Movement Dependent GNSS Multipath Error Model for Pedestrian Applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In 2002 the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) performed a measurement campaign of the land mobile multipath channel in and around the city of Munich. From this data a channel model was derived that is synthesising the measured channel impulse response.

Spatial Characteristics of Walking Areas for Pedestrian Navigation [PDF]

open access: yes2009 Third International Conference on Multimedia and Ubiquitous Engineering, 2009
We consider how to handle open walking areas in pedestrian navigation applications. Walking areas are a key type of feature which is a major difference between networks of pedestrian navigation and that of road vehicle navigation. Up to recently, little work has been carried out on these features though they are important to route planning algorithm ...

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.

Strategic Design of Soft Actuators in Translational Medical Robotics for Human‐Centered Healthcare

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Soft robotics enables biocompatible, compliant medical devices, but clinical translation requires design‐driven engineering beyond materials. This perspective reviews implantable, surgical, and wearable systems by actuation mechanism, highlighting how optimized architectures and integration improve mechanical interfacing, adaptability, and durability ...

A Novel Movement Model for Pedestrians Suitable for Personal Navigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this paper a combination of two movement models, operating at the microscopic level and suitable for pedestrian navigation is developed and tested. The constituents are a Stochastic Behavioral Movement Model to characterize more random motion and ...

A Pedestrian Navigation System using Navigation Sentence based on XML [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Pedestrian navigation system has been widely used in many fields. In order to offer navigation information intelligible for pedestrian, we provide navigation sentences to users, which can be easily displayed on cellular phones with small display area. In

Navigation Problems in Blind-to-Blind Pedestrians Tele-assistance Navigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We raise a question whether it is possible to build a large-scale navigation system for blind pedestrians where a blind person navigates another blind person remotely by mobile phone. We have conducted an experiment, in which we observed blind people navigating each other in a city center in 19 sessions.

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Magnetic Maps of Indoor Environments for Precise Localization of Legged and Non-legged Locomotion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The magnetic field in indoor environments is rich in features and exceptionally easy to sense. In conjunction with any form of odometry, such as wheel- or IMUbased, a map of this field can be used to precisely localize a human or robot in indoor ...
