Smart monitoring information system based on RF 433 Mhz (SMIS)

Many research works are devoted to the design of remote control systems of objects. Remote monitoring is among the technologies of data acquisition on a remote object and its characteristics without physical contact with it. These data can be collected by acoustic waves, the distribution of forces and electromagnetic energy to process them to locate the object and its characteristics. This paper presents a smart monitoring information system based on RF 433MHz, Arduinonano and arduinouno named SMIS.

A Simple and Inexpensive 3D Scanning of Remote Objects by Robot

Accessing remote objects that might be hard for a human being to reach to has become feasible by the use of mobile robots, which can be equipped with numerous gadgets to facilitate the purpose of using this robot. Scanning a remote object to study it or build a model of it is one of the applications where such mobile robots can be used for. This research aims at providing a cheap and efficient robot that performs 3D scanning of remote objects in order to build a model at the controller’s station. The robot has its own obstacle avoidance and distance calculation mechanism, but it can also be remotely controlled. Images of the object are captured by two cameras; one normal camera and another Time-of-Flight dedicated camera for capturing the depth of the object. The collected fragments of the images collected by the scanning process are sent wirelessly and securely to the controller, where a CAD model is built of the scanned object’s received data. The application will be applied on Festo Robotino because of its movement that supports this job as it uses Swedish Wheel drive.
