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

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

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]
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 ...
