After almost a century of several attempts to establish a coherent land registration system across the whole country, in 2017 the Portuguese government decided to try a new, digital native approach to the problem. Thus, a web-based platform was created, where property owners from 10 pilot municipalities could manually identify their lands’ properties using a map based on satellite images. After the first month of submissions, it became clear that at the current daily rate, it would take years to achieve the goal of 100% rural property identification across just the 10 municipalities. Field research during the first month after launch enabled us to understand landowners’ relationships with their land, map their struggles with the platform, and prototype ways to improve the whole service. Understanding that these improvements would still not be enough to get to the necessary daily rate, we designed, tested and validated an algorithm that allows us to identify a rural property shape and location without coordinates. Today, we are able to help both Government and landowners identify a rural property location with the click of a button.

Many applications can be imagined for a system that processes sensory information collected during telemanipulation tasks in order to automatically identify properties of the remote environment. These applications include generating model-based simulations for training operators in critical procedures and improving real-time performance in unstructured environments or when time delays are large. This paper explores the research issues involved in developing such an identification system, focusing on properties that can be identified from remote manipulator motion and force data. As a case study, a simple block-stacking task, performed with a teleoperated two-fingered planar hand, is considered. An algorithm is presented that automatically segments the data collected during the task, given only a general description of the temporal sequence of task events. Using the segmented data, the algorithm then successfully estimates the weight, width, height, and coefficient of friction of the two blocks handled during the task. This data is used to calibrate a virtual model incorporating visual and haptic feedback. This case study highlights the broader research issues that must be addressed in automatic property identification.

Identification schemes based on multivariate polynomials have been receiving attraction in different areas due to the quantum secure property. Identification is one of the most important elements for the IoT to achieve communication between objects, gather and share information with each other. Thus, identification schemes which are post-quantum secure are significant for Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. Various polar forms of multivariate quadratic and cubic polynomial systems have been proposed for these identification schemes. There is a need to define polar form for multivariate dth degree polynomials, where d ≥ 4 . In this paper, we propose a solution to this need by defining constructions for multivariate polynomials of degree d ≥ 4 . We give a generic framework to construct the identification scheme for IoT and RFID applications. In addition, we compare identification schemes and curve-based cryptoGPS which is currently used in RFID applications.

There is growing evidence of the importance of mechanical deformations on various facets of cell functioning. This asks for a proper understanding of the cell’s characteristics as a mechanical system in different physiological and mechanical loading conditions. Many researchers use atomic force microscopy (AFM) indentation and the Hertz contact model for elastic material property identification under shallow indentation. For larger indentations, many of the Hertz assumptions are not inherently satisfied and the Hertz model is not directly useful for characterizing nonlinear elastic or inelastic material properties. We have used exponential hyperelastic material in FE simulations of the AFM indentation tests. A parameter identification approach is developed for hyperelastic material property determination from the simulated data. We collected AFM indentation data on agarose gel and developed a simple algorithm for contact point detection. The contact point correction improves the prediction of elastic modulus over the case of visual contact point identification. The modulus of 1% agarose gel was found to be about 15 kPa using the proposed correction, with mild but non-trival hardening with deeper indentation. The experimental data is compared with the results from the FE simulations and shows that over the hardening portion of the indentation response, our proposed parameter identification approach successfully captures the experimental data.
