Real-Time Systems Symposium, Work-in-Progress Session. ETH - IDSC - Flying Machine Arena. The Flying Machine Arena (FMA) is a portable space devoted to autonomous flight. Measuring up to 10 x 10 x 10 meters, it consists of a high-precision motion capture system, a wireless communication network, and custom software executing sophisticated algorithms for estimation and control.
The motion capture system can locate multiple objects in the space at rates exceeding 200 frames per second. While this may seem extremely fast, the objects in the space can move at speeds in excess of 10 m/s, resulting in displacements of over 5 cm between successive snapshots. This information is fused with other data and models of the system dynamics to predict the state of the objects into the future. The system uses this knowledge to determine what commands the vehicles should execute next to achieve their desired behavior, such as performing high-speed flips, balancing objects, building structures, or engaging in a game of paddle-ball. Bell Labs. Researchers at Bell Labs – Alcatel-Lucent’s research organization – collaborate closely with the company’s customers and product development teams to create the technologies that are transforming the way people connect with each other and with the information around them.
What would our children want from 5G? What would our children want in THE communications platform of the future? It is likely a seamless network that adapts to them, rather than forcing them to adapt to the network.. Join the conversation about 5G > Bell Labs shows primacy at ECOC 2013 At the European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communications, Bell Labs researchers presented post-deadline papers documenting major advancements in optical research.
