Due to significant advancements in optical navigation technology, optical mouse sensors (OMS) are increasingly employed as low-cost motion sensora in personal computing and robot navigation. This paper proposes a new test bed to study the long-term measurement characteristics of emerging OMS devices. With the utilization of this set-up, the attributes of a high-resolution OMS (Agilent ADNS-2051) are investigated under various critical operating conditions like changing surface velocity and the pattern. The paper illustrates that despite the problems addressed, the positioning accuracy of an OMS could be quite sufficient for some basic process control apptications.

A novel approach for robot homing
Koku, Ahmet Buğra; WİLKES, D Mitch (2003-06-27)
Although metric navigation techniques have been widely adapted in robot navigation, some powerful qualitative navigation methods have been proposed to achieve navigation. These methods do not require strict metric measures or presence of metric maps. This paper briefly introduces such qualitative navigation techniques and introduces a novel approach for qualitative robot navigation. Comparison of this method to some existing ones is given and performance analysis is presented. This technique requires less a...

A bulk-micromachined fully-differential MEMS accelerometer with interdigitated fingers
Aydin, Osman; Akın, Tayfun (2012-10-31)
This paper proposes a novel bulk-micromachined MEMS accelerometer employing interdigitated sense fingers that provide a fully-differential (FD) signal interface, where the accelerometer can be fabricated by a modified Silicon-on-Glass (M-SOG) process utilizing a <;111>; Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) wafer. The accelerometer combines the feasibility of fabricating large mass and high aspect ratio structures using bulk-micromachining together with the high sensitive interdigitated sense finger triplets that are ...

Significant developments in microprocessor and sensor technology make wirelessly connected small computing devices widely available; hence they are being used frequently to collect data from the environment. In this study, we construct a framework in order to extract high level information in an environment containing such pervasive computing devices. In the framework, raw data originating from wireless sensors are collected using an event driven system and converted to simple events for transmission over a...
