This study presents a thorough analysis of sleep/wake detection algorithms for efficient on-device sleep tracking using wearable accelerometric devices. It develops a novel end-to-end algorithm using convolutional neural network applied to raw accelerometric signals recorded by an open-source wrist-worn actigraph. The aim of the study is to develop...
Chapter
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) capable of safe operation on urban roads are a complex problem that involves many subdomains of Robotics. This use case chapter presents the lessons that the authors learned while using the ROS framework to support the AV development efforts of Cruise, originally acquired by General Motors in 2016, and now an independent c...
Conference Paper
One important question is hanging over the feasibility of human settlement on the Moon: “Is there water ice on the Moon?”. And if so, “How much water is there?” and “At what depth?”. The first trace of water came from NASA Apollo 14 in the form of water vapour ions from a spectrometer near the landing site. Then Russian Luna 24 brought back subsurf...

... Threshold-based approaches 12,17,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25] were the most popular, applying a predefined threshold hyperparameter to a predictor variable (raw data or processed features) to classify sensor time series on a sample or window basis. Classification-based approaches 18,20,21,26 employed classifiers to recognise states, such as the active and idle states, based on sensor measurements or features. The less popular hybrid approaches 17,27 used a mixture of threshold-and classification-based approaches; a thresholding algorithm typically produced preliminary labels which were then refined by a classifier to improve performance. ...
... Moreover, they omit pre-trained models for other components specific to any simulation platform which raises the bar for testing a component. Finally, the debugging ability of these platforms is also limited by their choice of the underlying publisher-subscriber communication paradigm which complicates the deterministic replay of driving scenarios [30]. ...
... The Robot Operating System (ROS) [52] is the current execution system-of-choice for AVs and has been deployed by vendors including Autoware [35], Cruise [53], BMW [54], and others [55,56]. ROS' highly-modular design enables various initiatives to provide additional feature enhancements, such as real-time support [57]). ...
