Kilometres, about 40,000 miles beyond the moon. that's further than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown. during the seven weeks orion is in orbit, nasa will collect important data and check how the spacecraft is performing. this is a test flight, so there are no people on board. instead, there are mannequins covered in thousands of sensors collecting important data. most of those sensors are getting an idea of whether its environment is going to be ok for people. so things like radiation sensors, motion sensors, accelerometers, things like that, things that we as human payloads are ...

During the several weeks 0rion is in orbit, nasa will collect important data and check how the spacecraft is performing. this is a test flight, so there are no people on board. instead, there are mannequins covered in thousands of sensors collecting important data. most of those sensors are getting an idea of whether its environment is going to be ok for people. so things like radiation sensors, motion sensors, accelerometers, things like that, things that we as human payloads are going to care a lot about. and this is vital because if this mission is a success, astronauts will join the next r...

Phone accelerometer and GPS data could reveal structural damage

The advent of sensor-rich smart devices (e.g., smartphones) has enabled a lot of applications and services. One of these applications and services is smartphone-based vehicle indoor positioning, which is a key technology for smart car parking and driverless cars. So far, most vehicle indoor positioning solutions either use infrastructures (e.g., WiFi access points) or inertial sensors, which suffer from low positioning accuracy, limited coverage, or high cost to deploy new equipment. To tackle these challenges, in this work we propose a novel Deep Learning-based Vehicle Indoor Positioning (Dee...
