Improving Robot Localization Using Doppler-Based Variable Sensor Covariance Calculation.

This paper describes a localization module for an autonomous wheelchair. This module includes a combination of various sensors such as odometers, laser scanners, IMU and Doppler speed sensors. Every sensor used in the module features variable covariance estimation in order to yield a final accurate localization.

Improving the anesthetic process by a fuzzy rule based medical decision system.

Objective: The main objective of this research is the design and implementation of a new fuzzy logic tool for automatic drug delivery in patients undergoing general anesthesia. The aim is to adjust the drug dose to the real patient needs using heuristic knowledge provided by clinicians. A two-level computer decision system is proposed.
