With the recent advances in genomic research and biotechnology, ubiquitous smart services are required in a bio-laboratory to simplify complex experiments that are now routine. In this paper, we describe a novel Stochastic Positioning by Interpolated Radial Mapping (SPIRM) method devised for implementing a low-cost small-scale relative positioning engine in a smart laboratory operating in the common IEEE 802.11b based wireless network environment. We show that through SPIRM-enabled small-scale relative positioning of our customdesigned embedded devices ("BioBridge (BB) devices") attached to bio-apparatuses, we can provide location awareness in a smart bio-laboratory for intelligent on-the-move unwired access of lab equipment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
