This paper presents method of depriving the relationship between static passive RFID tag and mobile robot In the field of tag-range. We use probabilistic sensor model of RFID reader by experiments. And we proposed estimation techniques by using direction of identification and relative-distance from the sensor model. Corresponding to distribution of identification, we can correct estimated tag position in relative coordinate. Simulation and Experimental Results show that the proposed method can provide good performance and thus be used fer mobile-robot localization.

We have developed a biosensor reading system using a white light source and a color-sensor. To reduce the environmental effect, we used the ratio of specific color intensity to the entire white light intensity. Also we could improve the responsibility of the system by controlling the amplification of the color sensor output.

In this paper, we design the r-Sensor protocol for reliable data transmission in the Intelligent Home Service based on the wireless sensor network environment. The r-Sensor protocol improve the reliability of data transmission and node fairness using simple routing algorithm, congestion control, and loss recovery method that minimize the load of relay node. Reposed routing algorithm find out upstream and downstream nodes using the Network Management packet. Meanwhile, loss recovery algorithm uses the Aggregated-Nack. To apply supposed algorithm, the IHS-AMR(Intelligent Home Service - Automatic Meter Reader) and sensor node are designed and implemented in hardware. The IHS-AMR provides remote metering service and also offers home safety service by internetworking with sensor network, mobile phone network and internet.

In smart cold chain, environment monitoring (for example temperature, humidity, and etc) is an important. Especially, because monitoring may be broken on passage, in order to success of cold chain management, it is important that seamless monitoring. To solve this problem, we implement mobile gateway supporting RFID and demonstrate using of RFID middleware emulator.

Among semi-quantitative or fully quantitative lateral flow assay readers, an image sensor-based instrument has been widely used because of its simple setup, cheap sensor price, and compact equipment size. For all previous approaches, monochrome CCD or CMOS cameras were used for lateral flow assay imaging in which the overall intensities of all colors were taken into consideration to estimate the analyte content, although the analyte related color information is only limited to a narrow wavelength range. In the present work, we introduced a color CCD camera as a sensor and a color decomposition method to improve the sensitivity of the quantitative biosensor system which utilizes the lateral flow assay successfully. The proposed setup and image processing method were applied to achieve the quantification of imitatively dispensed particles on the surface of a porous membrane first, and the measurement result was then compared with that using a monochrome CCD. The compensation method was proposed in different illumination conditions. Eventually, the color decomposition method was introduced to the commercially available lateral flow immunochromatographic assay for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. The measurement sensitivity utilizing the color image sensor is significantly improved since the slopes of the linear curve fit are enhanced from 0.0026 to 0.0040 and from 0.0802 to 0.1141 for myoglobin and creatine kinase (CK)-MB detection, respectively.

SAW Sensor is greatly developed today and Reader Platform which uses SAW Sensor for temperature or pressure is required to use TDS method for low power and high speed processing. For to use this Platform, high speed timer is required to measure a short interval between reference signal and reflectior's signal. This paper proposes that platform receive SAW Sensor's signals and transform digital signal through comparator. Next the transformed signal is measured by Timer Platform and the measured interval is displayed with time. This paper proposes method of measurment of time with nano sec unit.

This paper introduces a health monitoring system based on a wireless sensor network for weapon asset. This system can estimate the remaining lifetime and decide what should be done and when should it be done using the environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and shock for weapon assets by sensor tag. And we describes its operating scenario and routing method for this system. Finally we introduce the developments of the sensor tag, portable reader, gateway and monitoring server.

In this paper, we have implemented a ubiquitous healthcare system that can measure and check human's health in anytime and anywhere. The implemented prototype are composed of both front-end and back-end. The front-end have several groups: environment sensor group such as temperature, humidity, photo, voice sensor, health sensor group such as blood pressure, heart beat, electrocardiogram, spo2 sensor, gateway for wired/wireless communication, and RFID reader to identify personal. The back-end has a serial forwarder to propagate measurment results, monitor program, and medical information server The implemented sensor node constructs a sensor network using the Zigbee protocol and is ported the tinyOS. The data gathering base node is linux-based terminal that can transfer a sensed medial data through wireless LAN. And, the medical information server stores the processed medical data and can promptly notify the urgent status to the connected medical team. Through our experiments, we've confirmed the possibility of ubiquitous healthcare system based on sensor network using the Zigbee.

In the electric power industry, It is important that the supply of energy must always be guaranteed. To satisfy these requirements, various forms of technologies are needed, such as RFID tag, reader, sensor network, middleware and so on. WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) technologies of the electric power industry are in the early stage and there is no clear guideline for developing electric facility management system using WSN. Relevant experience is limited, the challenge will be to derive requirement from business practice and to determine whether it is possible or not. To explore this issue, we focus on researching and field test of prototype system in Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO). In this paper we describe requirement from power industry. And we introduce design and implementation of the power facility monitoring system.

This paper presents an efficient localization scheme for an indoor mobile robot using RFID tags on the floor. The mobile robot carries an RFID reader at the bottom, which reads the RFID tags on the floor to localize the mobile robot. Each RFID tar on the floor stores its own absolute position which is used to calculate the position and velocity of the mobile robot. Locating the RFID tags on the floor, which constructs an intelligent sensor space, may require several factors to be considered: economics feasibility and accuracy. In this paper, the optimal allocation scheme of the RFID tags on the floor to satisfy the accuracy constraint has been proposed and verified by the experiments. Based on the RFID reading, the mobile robot navigation has been successfully demonstrated to avoid obstacles and to reach the goal within a pre-specified time.
