Nowadays the inspection of products at the end of line represents a critical phase. At this stage, it is necessary to look for defects in order to prevent the quality check to fail, and to provide information for improving the production as well. This task can be performed by using several sensing technologies, and the contactless optical inspection plays a key role. In this regard, the use of advanced robotic manipulators offers the capability to change the viewpoint of a given object and to inspect its multiple faces. We propose an approach that combines the use of photometric stereo to derive a 3D model of objects, empowered by the super-resolution that is applied on the original dataset (upstream) or on the normal images (downstream) in order to increase the quality of the final 3D model. The vision system is mounted on a robotic manipulator, able to grasp and change the viewpoint, thus offering a more completeviewoftheobjecttobeinspected.Theobtainedresults show that the developed solution increases the quality of the derived 3D models used for inspection tasks on different faces of the objects; this is achieved by using the manipulation ability offered by the adopted robotic platform.

The development of advanced techniques allowed to capture, to store and to manage amounts of natural energy, transforming them into electrical energy. Moreover, advancements in microprocessor technology have increased power efficiency, effectively reducing power consumption requirements. From the point of view of wearable electronics devices, the most efficient Energy Harvesting system for energy capturing is that to use devices inserted into the shoes. These devices are situated into the soles where, during the movement, a force is exerted. Using piezoelectric elements and electromagnetic induction systems, this force allows recovering a high quantity of electrical energy useful for sensor supply and complex monitoring systems. In this paper, four different solutions of smart shoes that use Energy Harvesting systems are presented, with the aim to recover energy to supply a GPS device. Preliminary comparative results of 4 different solutions are compared on the bases of costs, production feasibility and energy harvesting capabilities.}, doi = {10.1109/MESA.2014.6935616}, url = {http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84911955647\&partnerID=40\&md5=cd81450b8d4668e12293542ba772cf5d}, author = {A.

In addition, advancements in microprocessor technology have increased power efficiency, effectively reducing power consumption requirements. In combination, these developments have sparked interest in the engineering community to develop more and more applications that utilize energy harvesting for power. The approach here described aims to designing and manufacturing an innovative easy-to-use and general-purpose device for energy harvesting in general purpose shoes. The novelty of this device is the integration of polymer and ceramic piezomaterials accomplished by injection molding. In this spirit, this paper examines different devices that can be built into a shoe, (where excess energy is readily harvested) and used for generating electrical power while walking. A Main purpose is the development of an indoor localization system embedded in shoes that periodically broadcasts a digital RFID as the bearer walks. Results are encouraging and real life test are conducted on the first series of prototypes.

The representation of image appearance is based on feature vectors that include both the chromatic attributes of color sets and their mutual spatial relationships. The proposed metric fits well to robotic navigation using omnidirectional vision sensors, because it has very important properties: it is reflexive, compositional and invariant with respect to image scaling and rotation. The robustness of the metric was repeatedly tested using omnidirectional images for a robot localization task in a real indoor environment. {\textcopyright} 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
