Object-of-Interest Perception in a Reconfigurable Rolling-Crawling Robot.

Cebrenus Rechenburgi, a member of the huntsman spider family have inspired researchers to adopt different locomotion modes in reconfigurable robotic development. Object-of-interest perception is crucial for such a robot to provide fundamental information on the traversed pathways and guide its locomotion mode transformation. Therefore, we present a object-of-interest perception in a reconfigurable rolling-crawling robot and identifying appropriate locomotion modes.

AI-Enabled Mosquito Surveillance and Population Mapping Using Dragonfly Robot.

Mosquito-borne diseases can pose serious risks to human health. Therefore, mosquito surveillance and control programs are essential for the wellbeing of the community. Further, human-assisted mosquito surveillance and population mapping methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and require skilled manpower.

False Ceiling Deterioration Detection and Mapping Using a Deep Learning Framework and the Teleoperated Reconfigurable 'Falcon' Robot.

Periodic inspection of false ceilings is mandatory to ensure building and human safety. Generally, false ceiling inspection includes identifying structural defects, degradation in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, electrical wire damage, and pest infestation. Human-assisted false ceiling inspection is a laborious and risky task.

Remote drain inspection framework using the convolutional neural network and re-configurable robot Raptor.

Drain blockage is a crucial problem in the urban environment. It heavily affects the ecosystem and human health. Hence, routine drain inspection is essential for urban environment.

Drain Structural Defect Detection and Mapping Using AI-Enabled Reconfigurable Robot Raptor and IoRT Framework.

Human visual inspection of drains is laborious, time-consuming, and prone to accidents. This work presents an AI-enabled robot-assisted remote drain inspection and mapping framework using our in-house developed reconfigurable robot Raptor. The four-layer IoRT serves as a bridge between the users and the robots, through which seamless information sharing takes place.
