When firefighting, the combination of exposition to high temperatures, high physical demands and wearing (heavy and insulated) personal protective equipment lead to increased risk of heat stress and exhaustion in firefighters. Heat stress can easily evolve into a life-threatening heat stroke. Once heat …

To better control the growing process of horticulture plants greenhouse growers need an automated way to efficiently and effectively find where diseases are spreading. The HiPerGreen project has done research in using an autonomous quadcopter for this scouting. In order for the quadcopter to be able …

Bij Adelante Kenniscentrum wordt onderzoek gedaan naar het gebruik van sensorhandschoen bij revalidatie van patiënten met centraal neurologisch hersenletsel. Hiervoor moet worden uitgezocht of de signalen van een sensorhandschoen betrouwbaar zijn. Daarom is eerst een markonderzoek gedaan naar welke handschoenen …

Research was conducted to enable remote control of a humanoid robotic arm using movements of the human arm. Several options for the measurement technique have been discussed, resulting in a proposal for usage of MARG sensor modules to measure human arm movement. The InvenSense MPU9250 sensors where used, …

SRON is the Dutch national expertise institute for scientific space research and is part of NWO. It plays an important role in delivering contributions to the national and international space-research communities. Currently one of SRON’s involvements is in the X-IFU instrument for the Athena space X-ray …

We report on a first field test in which miniaturized sensor motes were used to explore and inspect an operational pipeline by performing in situ measurements. The spherical sensor motes with a diameter of 39 mm were equipped with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) measuring 3-D acceleration, rotation, …

Purpose: Classification is a defining factor for competition in wheelchair sports, but it is a delicate and time-consuming process with often questionable validity. New inertial sensor-based measurement methods applied in match play and field tests allow for more precise and objective estimates of the …

A novel type of application for the exploration of enclosed or otherwise difficult to access environments requires large quantities of miniaturized sensor nodes to perform measurements while they traverse the environment in a “go with the flow” approach. Examples of these are the exploration of underground …

The Amsterdam Sensor Lab is part of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) and its goal is to develop application specific sensor systems for applied research. In order to (anonymously) measure, for instance, traffic without influencing people’s behaviour, a pressure sensing sub-tile is …
