Article Synopsis
- Smartphones are increasingly used for various purposes beyond calls, such as recognizing human activities for applications in medical diagnosis and support for the elderly.
- The use of inertial sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes in smartphones makes it possible to analyze walking activities, but creating a reliable app to detect this is challenging due to hardware differences, data noise, and unrelated smartphone movements.
- The study compares two main methods for identifying walking activity—feature extraction from inertial data and analyzing the shape of sensor data time series—using a newly collected dataset from 77 participants, which is publicly available for further research.
In wireless positioning systems, the transmitter's power is usually fixed. In this paper, we explore the use of varying transmission powers to increase the performance of a wireless localization system. To this extent, we have designed a robot positioning system based on wireless motes.

Unfortunately, nowadays the deployment of robots and the adaptation of their services to new environments are tasks that usually require several days of expert work. With this in view, we present a multi-agent system made up of intelligent cameras and autonomous robots, which is easy and fast to deploy in different environments.
