This paper describes a novel control architecture, B 3 IA, designed to address the
challenges of developing autonomous robot systems for use as behavior intervention tools …

An unmanned airboat for mapping the water quality of shallow (< 1 m) mire pools where
aquatic weeds flourish was developed. A differential global positioning system receiver and …

High fidelity data acquisition of dynamic spatiotemporal phenomena for aquatic
environmental research suggests the use of actuated sensors. Furthermore, characterization …

As concern for water resource availability increases, so does the need for intelligent aquatic
sensing applications. The requirements, and complexity of such applications has also …

This thesis proposal presents an interaction structure, robot architecture, and experimental
validation methodology for designing robot systems as tools for social behavior intervention …

An on-water remote monitoring robotic system was developed for indirectly estimating the
relative density of marine cyanobacteria blooms at the subtidal sandy–rocky beach in …

There exists a great untapped potential for the use of intelligent robots as therapeutic social
partners for children. However, enabling a robot to understand social behavior, and do so …

Event detection in sensor networks is a very desirable capability, insofar as it can be seen as
a building block for higher-level functionalities. Of particular interest in this paper is the …

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is a promising technology for monitoring physical
phenomena at fine-grained spatial and temporal resolution. However, the typical approach …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) allow us to instrument the physicalworld in novel ways,
providing detailed insight that has not beenpossible hitherto. Since WSNs provide an …
