The calibration approach for getting accurate and meaningful results utilizes the intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of sensors, given that the sensors are fixed relative to each other. The robots with the ability to change their morphology are referred to as reconfigurable robots. The reconfigurable robot named Panthera is taken as a use case to showcase the need and practical application where the relative change in the position of the sensors occurs. The proposed approach account for the adaptive transformation, which captures the change in the relative pose of the sensors in real-time. The scheme presented is demonstrated using multiple stereo cameras and three-dimensional LiDARs. Moreover, the result for the effectiveness of the adaptive transformation for two cases is presented and discussed. The framework is generic and suitable for a multisensor fusion where each sensor is subjected to change in relative pose.","PeriodicalId":333109,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference \"Nonlinearity, Information and Robotics\" (NIR)","volume":"174 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129490407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, some of the existing formats are gaining wide recognition; at the same time, their individual limitations become more apparent. The goal of this work is to generalize the idea of a robot description format, putting together different approaches to representing a robot, including formats that rely on human-readable and binary data representation, formats tied to specific software, and ones that exist independently, and others. We outline the main advantages and limitations of the existing formats, with the aim to make the following efforts at standardization or development more informed.","PeriodicalId":333109,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference \"Nonlinearity, Information and Robotics\" (NIR)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128369978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The calculation of the fractality index for different areas of the human cerebral cortex is performed by the modified Higuchi method. Areas were identified in which spatio-temporal scaling is manifested to the greatest extent in photosensitive epilepsy. In addition, changes in the fractal structure of magnetoencephalograms of healthy subjects were found after exposure to flickering light stimuli. In the future, the use of machine learning methods for recognizing the images of topographic maps of the obtained numerical indicators will contribute to the search for new diagnostic criteria for neurological diseases and mental disorders (various forms of epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, obsessive-compulsive disorders).

This evaluation is supported by the opinions and experiences of expert native developers coupled with the mindset and discipline mostly worn to ensure a healthy and certain journey to expertise as far as native (that is non-cross-platform android app development in the context of this research) Android application is concerned. To complement this research, a native Android application was built. The aim of this application is to provide useful resources for every tool/skill revealed by our research. With such a system, we believe Android enthusiasts would be able to get a better view into the mind of the industry as well as get a better sense on how to obtain certain talents pertaining to Android development. The journey from developing a ‘hello world’ program to sophisticated applications such as ‘gmail, ‘spotify’, ‘yandex taxi’ just to name a few requires an exquisite set of skills, discipline, and mindset something which this research seeks to expose.

Also, skills where categorised into what respondent’ believed to be beginner, intermediate and expert levels.
