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

本项目搭建传感器实验平台，由测试和开发工作站组成，旨在设计定制传感器板和由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）组成的试验台。完全开发的平台能够创建通用传感器技术实验和信息资源。该工作增强了以下项目的研究目标：-在涉及多个传感器组件团队存在故障的情况下评估基于代理的团队组织模型，-设计定制传感器板以适应兽医远程医疗和人类健康监测项目的要求，-评估模型驱动设计工具和大规模异构环境中传感器网络软件的优化。利用集成了定制设计的无线模块的传感器板设计节能传感器网络的技术评估。该平台还将通过合作评估传感器技术，为集成软件系统研究做出贡献。更广泛的影响：几个项目（RET网站、EXCITE、Grow计划、机器人路演和嵌入式系统本科未成年人与研究生证书）让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项目，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.
