Improving work detection by segmentation heuristics pre-training on factory operations video.

The measurement of work time for individual tasks by using video has made a significant contribution to a framework for productivity improvement such as value stream mapping (VSM). In the past, the work time has been often measured manually, but this process is quite costly and labor-intensive. For these reasons, automation of work analysis at the worksite is needed. There are two main methods for...

Aerial-aquatic robots capable of crossing the air-water boundary and hitchhiking on surfaces.

Many real-world applications for robots-such as long-term aerial and underwater observation, cross-medium operations, and marine life surveys-require robots with the ability to move between the air-water boundary. Here, we describe an aerial-aquatic hitchhiking robot that is self-contained for flying, swimming, and attaching to surfaces in both air and water and that can seamlessly move between th...
