This research presents a sleep posture monitoring system designed to assist the elderly and patient attendees. Monitoring sleep posture in real time is challenging, and this approach introduces hardware-based edge computation methods. Initially, we detected the postures using minimally optimized sensing modules and fusion techniques.

Predicting human posture in indoor environments in confined areas is a significant challenge for service robots. The proposed approach works on two levels: the estimation of human location and the robot's intention to serve based on the human's location at static and adaptive positions.

This paper introduces an innovative grid flex-graph exploration (GFGE) algorithm designed for single-robot mapping. This hardware-scheme-based algorithm leverages a combination of quad-grid and graph structures to enhance the efficiency of both local and global mapping implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA).
