This paper presents the initial system development, integration, and testing of Lab in a Box: a portable, low-cost test and measuring device in aiding Robotics education and development in hybrid or distance learning setups. Powered by a

In this study, we modified a commercially available small bipedal robot to be able to walk on the

In developing the lecture to learn the concept of IoT by lecture and practical skills, teaching materials for practical skills were developed using RT-Middleware. In realizing from sensing to data aggregation and visualization via network, RT-Middleware maintains effectiveness from single board PC utilization to load distribution and network access, and it was informative to realize intuitive teaching material development in a short time. Discuss the effectiveness with the past two operation experiences.

In order for robots to operate safely, it is important to sense the environment. However, creating a sensing system from scratch is costly. To improve this situation, we use ROS2. In addition, we thought that a small mobile robot can move safely if it can grasp the space when sensing. Therefore, we use the Intel RealSense Depth Camera D435, which is a depth camera, and the

Regarding the collection of trash in shopping malls and stations, it is being collected regardless of whether the capacity has been reached or not, because there is not data. However if the trash box cannot be collected, it causes trouble, and because of this, extra effort and time are required. If we can develop a method to see which trash boxes require collection in advance, collection efficiency will improve, and this problem will be solved. So, in this research, we will discuss how a trash box equipped with a

This paper analyzes the impact of input sparsity and DFS/DVFS configurations for single-board computers on the execution time, power, and energy of each VGG16 layer as the first step towards efficient CNN inference on single-board computers. For this purpose, we first develop a power and execution time measurement environment and perform experiments using

In order to improve the quality of life of the elderly or persons who lost their own limb due to an accident or sickness, many power-assist robots and myoelectric artificial limbs have been proposed. Many of these robots are controlled based on biological signals. Specifically, an EMG signal is one of the widely used biological signal for the control of those robots. On the other hand, there are many small devices such as a microcontroller or the small size PC. In this paper, we try to estimate the motion of the upper-limb based on EMG signals by

コモンマーモセットは霊長類の中では小型で多産であり，近年遺伝子改変も可能になったため，疾患モデル，特にパーキンソン病などの神経疾患モデルとしての利用が進展してきた。マーモセットは精密把握動作ができないため，上肢の運動機能を評価するためには，ラット用に開発された階段型装置を用いる課題を改変した課題が一つの標準となっている。その課題では，マーモセットは透明な板に開けられたスリットから手を出し，数段の階段型の装置の上に置かれたエサを取る。すなわち，スリットから突き出した腕を曲げ，エサの位置に手を持って行き，エサを把握してから自分の口元に運ぶことが要求される。スリットから手を出すことが可能になってから最初のエサを取るまでの時間や，全てのエサを取り終えるまでの時間，成功率などが評価の指標である。マーモセットの運動は素早いため，高速ビデオで撮影し，コマ落としでデータを解析する必要があり，極めて煩雑かつ非効率的であった。我々はこの問題を解決するために，運動機能評価課題の時間計測を自動化する装置を開発した。この装置は，（1）センサー付きの階段型装置と（2）センサー情報を記録，通信する小型コンピュータ，（3）記録用と解析用のソフトウェアからなる。センサーとしてはフォトトランジスタ―を用い，スリットのシャッターの開閉，マーモセットのエサのスリット通過，階段型装置上の10か所のエサの有無に関する情報を取得する。コンピュータとしては小型，安価でバッテリー駆動が可能であり，通信機能を有する

We propose that cloud base RTM for improve usability and reduce number of steps for learning cost. In this paper, we build a RTM environment for

Electrical power consumption depends on industrialization and population. Also, an environmental condition is one of effective parameters, such as temperature, humidity, etc. The temperature, humidity and pressure have measured by Ras-Pi at the Mongolian University of Science and Technology (MUST) and compared it with the meteorological agency data of Ulaanbaatar. We investigated the relationship between the electrical power consumption and temperature of Hokkaido, Kyushu areas and Ulaanbaatar. As a result, interesting relations of consumption and temperature were found between the countries.

We propose an educational model that simulates a CubeSat for use in improving Japanese high school students’ recognition of the usefulness of science. This model allows high school students to directly relate the components of satellites to the physics concepts they are studying in class to improve their understanding of the relationship between space exploration and their classwork. We conducted a science workshop for junior high and high school students using an educational model simulating a CubeSat, consisting of a
