Many ships today rely on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), for their navigation, where GPS (Global Positioning System) is the most well known. Unfortunately, the GNSS systems make the ships dependent on external systems, which can be malfunctioning, be jammed or be spoofed. There are today some proposed techniques where, e.g. bottom depth measurements are compared with known maps using Ba

An unmanned ship can be designed without considering humancomfort, and can thus be constructed lighter, smaller and less expensive.It can carry out missions in rough terrain or be in areaswhere it would be dangerous for a human to operate. By not havingto support a crew, lengthy missions can be accepted, enabling, e.g.reconnaissance missions, or reducing emissions by lowering thespeed.Breakthrough

We assume that an intuitive means for the specification, re-use, modification and transfer of synchronized motions-both regarding the two arms of a dual-arm robotic system, as well as regarding the coordination of a user and a robot-is key in interactive and collaborative settings as they are currently targeted for industrial applications. We show, how our knowledge based approach to end-user prog

e summarize our successful efforts to support in-tuitive programming of industrial robotic assemblytasks with a knowledge based approach to the rep-resentation of skills. These skills can be specified,re-used, refined and transferred between robotswith the help of a multimodal interface combinedwith kinesthetic teaching. We argue that while itis certainly possible and suitable to hav

We compared three different Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) that we have designed and implemented to enable human supervision of an Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV). Special attention has been paid to provide tools for a safe navigation and giving the user a good overall understanding of the surrounding world while keeping the cognitive load at a low level. Our findings indicate that a GUI in 3D,

Wireless communication is evolving rapidly with ever more connected devicesand significantly increasing data rates. Since the invention of the smartphoneand the mass introduction of mobile apps, users demand more andmore traffic to stream music, watch high-definition video or to simply browsethe internet. This tremendous growth is more pronounced by the introductionof the Internet of Things (IoT)

We compared three different Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) that we have designed and implemented to enable human supervision of an unmanned ship. Our findings indicate that a 3D GUI presented either on a screen or in a Virtual Reality (VR) setting provides several objective and subjective benefits compared to a Baseline GUI representing traditional tools.

The integrated forest ecosystem model ForSAFE-Veg was used to simulate soil processes and understory vegetation composition at three—sugar maple, beech, yellow birch—hardwood forest sites in the Northeastern United States (one at Hubbard Brook, NH, and two at Bear Brook, ME). Input data were pooled from a variety of sources and proved coherent and consistent. While the biogeochemical component For

The performance of broadband microwave 40 W and 55 W LDMOS integrated power amplifiers is reported. A 30 V LDMOS process with 500 nm gate length was used for the design. Single and dual die packages were evaluated. A dual die package provides flexibility in output power and efficiency depending on combiner topology at the input and output of the circuit. Different saturated power and efficiency ar

In this paper we prove that the recently introduced method of signal apparition optimally separates signals from interfering sources recorded during simultaneous source seismic data acquisition. By utilizing a periodic sequence of source signatures along one source line, that wavefield becomes separately partially visible in the spectral domain where it can be isolated from interfering signals, pr

This paper presents results based on polarimetric radio channel measurements at 60 GHz in a small room and in an empty, unfurnished, medium-sized room. The measurements in the small meeting room were performed using dual-polarized virtual antenna array elements at both the transmitter and receiver sides and includes LOS and NLOS scenarios. In the unfurnished room, a directional horn antenna was sc

Purpose To investigate the accuracy, reproducibility and sensitivity to respiratory gating, field strength and ventricle segmentation of hemodynamic force quantification in the left and right ventricles of the heart (LV and RV) using 4D-flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to provide free hemodynamic force analysis software. Materials and methods A pulsatile flow phantom was imaged using 4D

A system for local oscillator (LO) signal generation in 5G millimeter-wave (mmW) multi-antenna transceivers is presented. The system is modular with one phase locked loop (PLL) per antenna element transceiver, and a test circuit implemented in 28-nm fully depleted silicon on insulator (FD-SOI) CMOS features two such PLLs and a 491.52 MHz crystal oscillator (XO) generating a common frequency refere

An area and power efficient high-throughput VLSI implementation of a 4 × 4, 64-QAM soft multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) detector, that is suitable for high-order constellation schemes is presented. The proposed MIMO detector utilizes information contained in the discarded paths to improve the bit-error-rate (BER) performance, and then reduces computational complexity using three innovative i

BACKGROUND: Several studies have demonstrated a prognostic impact of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells in esophageal and gastric adenocarcinoma, but whether these associations differ by the density of tumor-infiltrating immune cells of the B cell lineage remains largely unknown. RESULTS: High infiltration of any T and NK lymphocytes investigated was in general associat

The AAAI 2017 Fall Symposium Series was held Thursday through Saturday, November 9–11, at the Westin Arlington Gateway in Arlington, Virginia, adjacent to Washington, DC. The titles of the six symposia were Artificial Intelligence for Human-Robot Interaction; Cognitive Assistance in Government and Public Sector Applications; Deep Models and Artificial Intelligence for Military Applications: Potent
