Anomaly detection of care robot users in standing up using CoG candidates by Mizuki TAKEDA, Kaiji SATO

“…To estimate the state of a care robot user using a small number of sensors, we have proposed a method to calculate the position of the center of gravity as candidates. However, because the estimation was performed simply by using machine learning, it did not sufficiently consider how the center of gravity candidates changes depending on the state of the robot user. …”

Channel-Aware Adaptive Quantization Method for Source Localization in Wireless Sensor Networks by Guiyun Liu, Jing Yao, Yonggui Liu, Hongbin Chen, Dong Tang

“…First, a channel-aware adaptive quantization scheme for target location estimation is proposed and local sensor nodes dynamically adjust their quantization thresholds according to the position-based information sequence. The novelty of the proposed approach comes from the fact that the scheme not only adopts the distributed adaptive quantization instead of the conventional fixed quantization, but also incorporates the statistics of imperfect wireless channels between sensors and the fusion center (binary symmetric channels). …”
