This paper presents a robotic team suited for bottom sediment sampling and retrieval in mudflats, targeting environmental monitoring tasks. The robotic team encompasses a four-wheel-steering ground vehicle, equipped with a drilling tool designed to be able to retain wet soil, and a multi-rotor aerial vehicle for dynamic aerial imagery acquisition. On-demand aerial imagery, properly fused on an aerial mosaic, is...
This paper presents an aerial-ground field robotic team, designed to collect and transport soil and biota samples in estuarine mudflats. The robotic system has been devised so that its sampling and storage capabilities are suited for radionuclides and heavy metals environmental monitoring. Automating these time-consuming and physically demanding tasks is expected to positively impact both their scope and freque...
The purpose of this study was to examine differences of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) among weight groups, and the associations of CRF with obesity (body mass index) in a sample of young children. Anthropometric data (height, body mass, and two skinfolds) were collected for 255 healthy children aged 8-10 years (127 boys and 128 girls). Children were placed in three groups (nonobese, overweight, and obese), us...
