The interactive museum tour-guide robot
, 1998
"... This paper describes the software architecture of an autonomous tour-guide/tutor robot. This robot was recently deployed in the “Deutsches Museum Bonn, ” were it guided hundreds of visitors through the museum during a six-day deployment period. The robot’s control software integrates low-level proba ..."

-level probabilistic reasoning with high-level problem solving embedded in first order logic. A collection of software innovations, described in this paper, enabled the robot to navigate at high speeds through dense crowds, while reliably avoiding collisions with obstacles—some of which could not even be perceived
Conformal Magnetic Composite RFID for Wearable RF and Bio-Monitoring Applications
"... Abstract—This paper introduces for the first time a novel flexible magnetic composite material for RF identification (RFID) and wearable RF antennas. First, one conformal RFID tag working at 480 MHz is designed and fabricated as a benchmarking prototype and the miniaturization concept is verified. T ..."

for the evaluation of the impact of the dielectric and magnetic loss on the antenna performance. Finally, the effect of the bending of the antenna is investigated, both on the-parameters and on the radiation pattern. The successful implementation of the flexible magnetic composite material enables the significant
Towards a Theory of Open Innovation: Three Core Process Archetypes
- In: Proceedings of the R&D Management Conference (RADMA). Sessimbra
, 2004
"... Open Innovation is a phenomenon that has become increasingly important for both practice and theory over the last few years. The reasons are to be found in shorter innovation cycles, industrial research and development’s escalating costs as well as in the dearth of resources. Subsequently, the open ..."

. They need to deploy pathways outside their current businesses and should realise that the locus where knowledge is created does not necessarily always equal the locus of innovation- they need not both be found within the company. Experience has furthermore shown that neither the locus of innovation nor
EXPERIMENTS WITH AUTONOMOUS SOFTWARE FOR PLANETARY ROBOTS: A SIMULATION SUCCESS STORY
"... Autonomy is a key enabling factor for robotic exploration. There continues to be a large gap between autonomy software at the research level and software that is ready for insertion into near-term space missions. The Mission Simulation Facility (MSF) project attempts to bridge this gap by providing ..."

Session S1B Enabling Scalability, Richer Experiences and ABET-Accreditable Learning Outcomes in Computer Science Capstone Courses Through Inversion of Control
"... Abstract- Capstone courses are expected to prepare students for the “real world ” by putting them into a microcosm of the real world. In these courses, students are given a problem of some complexity, and are expected to exercise and develop problem-solving skills as they address the problem. Within ..."

. Within our Computer Science and Engineering program we have, over the past eight years, successfully scaled up the Capstone courses. Doing so has required innovative thinking about the roles of the students, faculty, and project sponsors. In this paper, we discuss issues with scaling up the components
