CRI: An Experimentation Platform for Developing Customized, Large-Scale Sensor Systems

该项目建立了一个由测试和开发站组成的传感器实验平台，旨在设计定制的传感器板和一个测试台，包括一套机器人和现成的传感器网络组件（传感器，处理器板，接口板和服务器）。完全开发的平台可以创建通用的传感器技术实验和信息资源。这项工作加强了以下项目的研究目标：- 评估基于代理的团队组织模型的场景涉及多个团队的传感器组件在故障的存在，-定制传感器板的设计，以适应兽医远程医疗和人类健康监测项目的要求，-评估模型驱动的设计和优化的工具传感器网络软件在大规模异构环境，及─评估技术，设计能源效率的传感器网络，使用传感器板集成定制设计的无线模块。该平台还将有助于集成软件系统的研究，通过合作评估更广泛的影响：多个项目（RET网站、EXCITE、Grow Programs、机器人路演、嵌入式系统本科辅修和研究生证书）吸引K-12、本科生和研究生参与嵌入式传感器设计、传感器系统和机器人技术。该平台将影响和整合这些计划，为学生提供更丰富的体验。

This project, building a sensor experimentation platform consisting of test and development stations, aims at designing custom sensor boards and a test-bed comprising a set of robots and off-the-shelf sensor networking components (sensors, processor boards, interface boards and servers). The fully developed platform enables the creation of a common sensor technology experimentation and information resource. The work enhances research objectives of the following projects:-Assessment of agent-based team organizational models on scenarios involving multiple teams of sensor components in the presence of failures,-Design of custom sensor boards to suit the requirement of Veterinary Telemedicine and Human Health Monitoring projects,-Evaluation of the tools for model-driven design and optimization of sensor network software in a large-scale heterogeneous environment, and-Evaluation of techniques to design energy efficient sensor networks using sensor boards integrated with custom designed wireless modules.The platform will also contribute to integrate software systems research by collaborating in the evaluation of sensor technologies.Broader Impact: Several projects (RET site, EXCITE, Grow Programs, Robot Road Show, and Undergraduate Minor and Graduate Certificate in Embedded Systems) engage K-12, undergraduate, and graduate students in embedded sensor design, sensor systems, and robotics. The platform will impact and integrate these programs, providing a much richer experience to students.
