Surface-Embedded Passive RF Exteroception: Kepler, Greed, and Buffon’s NeedleVladimir Kulyukin
Surface-embedded passive radio frequency (PRF) exteroception is a
method whereby an action to be executed by a mobile unit is selected through a
signal received from a surface-embedded external passive RFID transponder. This
paper describes how Kepler’s hexagonal packing pattern is used to embed passive
RFID transponders into a carpet to create PRF surfaces. Proof-of-concepts
experiments are presented that show how such surfaces enable mobile robots to
reliably accomplish point-to-point navigation indoors and outdoors. Two greedy
algorithms are presented for automated design of PRF surfaces. A theoretical extension
of the classic Buffon’s Needle problem from computational geometry is
presented as a possible way to optimize the packing of RF transponders on a
surface.
The Blind Leading the Blind: Toward Collaborative Online Route Information Ma...Vladimir Kulyukin
The long-term objective of our project is to discover the fundamental
principles underlying the collaborative production,
sharing, and management of route information by travelers
with visual impairments. The specific research hypothesis is
two-fold: 1) people with varied levels of vision loss and orientation
and mobility (O&M) skills will be able to form online
social networks that collaboratively manage large route
information collections for different geographic areas, and 2)
members of such networks will be able to successfully travel
through a variety of previously unknown indoor and outdoor
environments of varied complexity when provided with online
verbal route directions referencing landmarks and path
integration information salient to their particular vision and
skill level. In this paper, we report on the initial stage of our
project: an online survey whose objectives are to collect samples
of route descriptions from travelers with visual impairments
and to do the initial profiling of the target population.
The data collected so far provide valuable insights into what
travelers with visual impairments need to know about their
environments in order to travel independently and how they
may communicate that information to their fellow travelers in
the future.

RFID in Robot-Assisted Indoor Navigation for the Visually ImpairedVladimir Kulyukin
We describe how Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) can be used in robot-assisted indoor navigation for
the visually impaired. We present a robotic guide for the
visually impaired that was deployed and tested both with
and without visually impaired participants in two indoor
environments. We describe how we modified the standard
potential fields algorithms to achieve navigation at moderate
walking speeds and to avoid oscillation in narrow spaces.
The experiments illustrate that passive RFID tags deployed
in the environment can act as reliable stimuli that trigger local
navigation behaviors to achieve global navigation objectives.
Robot-Assisted Shopping for the Blind: Issues in Spatial Cognition and Produc...Vladimir Kulyukin
Research on spatial cognition and blind
navigation suggests that a device aimed at helping blind people
to shop independently should provide the shopper with
effective interfaces to the locomotor and haptic spaces of the
supermarket. In this article, we argue that robots can act as
effective interfaces to haptic and locomotor spaces in modern
supermarkets.We also present the design and evaluation
of three product selection modalities—browsing, typing and
speech, which allow the blind shopper to select the desired
product from a repository of thousands of products.
Ergonomics-for-One in a Robotic Shopping Cart for the BlindVladimir Kulyukin
Assessment and design frameworks for human-robot teams
attempt to maximize generality by covering a broad range of
potential applications. In this paper, we argue that, in assistive
robotics, the other side of generality is limited applicability: it is
oftentimes more feasible to custom-design and evolve an
application that alleviates a specific disability than to spend
resources on figuring out how to customize an existing generic
framework. We present a case study that shows how we used a
pure bottom-up learn-through-deployment approach inspired by
the principles of ergonomics-for-one to design, deploy and
iteratively re-design a proof-of-concept robotic shopping cart for
the blind.

The core aim of the EUscreen project is to develop a highly interoperable platform that allows the multicultural and multilingual exploration of European television content and metadata from 20 EU member states, integrated into and harmonized with Europeana. The EUscreen portal (http://www.euscreen.eu) will make publicly available a wide collection of >30.000 items of television programming of the consortium content providers throughout Europe. EUscreen is a Best Practice Network and funded by eContentPlus programme of the European Commission.
During Dish2009, EUscreen was also part of the programme with a presentation about Open video and enabling open cultural productions within the project. This presentation was mainly based on our initial ideas about open cultural productions. Now, two years later, we propose to present the results so far and to share our experiences and lessons learned, not only about open cultural experiences, but from a broader perspective: the design of a public participation platform for various creative use activities.
The presentation focuses on combining policy-driven and user-driven aspects, and discusses how to incorporate them in the design of a public participation platform like EUscreen. The EUscreen portal aims to offer digital tools for multiple uses and creative activities of identified user groups: education and research, cultural heritage institutions, media professionals and the general public. In many cases these solutions require special agreements and granting specific rights for the portal users. In order for EUscreen to design and provide functionalities that enable not only viewing the content through the portal, but also e.g. sharing and enriching the video content, it is necessary to understand what requirements and consequences the EUscreen video collection sets for the portal in practice. The audiovisual content offered by EUscreen's Content Providers have very different restrictions and permissions, therefore the design of the portal should take this into account and provide flexible, easy-to-understand tools for creative activities that can accommodate for the variation in the content IPR.
Through the EUscreen case, this presentation aims to discuss the challenges and opportunities to design a public participation platform for various creative use activities, and puts special attention to discuss the chosen strategies and approach taken.

3 examples of open source fisheries and maritime applications
The European Commission’s Directorate-General of Fisheries and Maritimes Affairs – DG MARE – has worked in the past years in 3 projects that have been been made public under an open source licence: FLUX FMC, FLUX TL, and Ocean Tracker. The first two are tools to manage the exchange of fisheries data and to facilitate the expansion of a standard (UN/FLUX) outside of the EU borders. The third one is a tool for countries to share their voluntary commitments for significant and meaningful actions towards a clean, healthy and productive ocean. The context of the presentation is the renewal in 2020 of the Commission’s open source strategy, and subsequently the simplifying of the release of internal projects as open source.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
