Remote Control and Telemetry System for Large-scale Model Test at Sea

Physical testing of large-scale ship models at sea is a new experimental method.It is a cheap and reliable way to research the environment adaptability of a ship in complex and extreme wave conditions.It is necessary to have a stable experimental system for the test.Since the experimental area is large, a remote control system and a telemetry system are essential, and were designed by the authors.An experiment was conducted on the Songhuajiang River to test the systems.The relationship between the model's speed and its electromotor's revolutions was also measured during the model test.The results showed that the two systems make it possible to carry out large-scale model tests at sea.

DCS devices based non-linear process control system design for plants with distributed time-delay using particle filter

Remote control process system with distributed time-delay has attracted much attention in different fields.In this paper,non-linear remote control of a single tank process system with wireless network is considered.To deal with the distributed time-delay in a large-scale plant,the time-delay compensation controller based on DCS devices is designed by using operator theory and particle filter.Distributed control system(DCS)device is developed to monitor and control from the central monitoring room to each process.The particle filter is a probabilistic method to estimate unobservable information from observable information.First,remote control system and experimental equipment are introduced.Second,control system based on an operator theory is designed.Then,process system with distributed time-delay using particle filter is carried out.Finally,the actual experiment is conducted by using the proposed time-delay compensation controller.When estimating with the proposed method,the result is close to the case in which the distributed time-delay does not exist.The effectiveness of the proposed control system is confirmed by experiment results.

A New Remote and Automated Control System for the Vineyard Hail Protection Based on ZigBee Sensors, Raspberry-Pi Electronic Card and WiMAX

A new inexpensive vineyard protection against hailstorm has been realized and tested. The system has been designed and organized in such a way to perform autonomously local activities to physically control the protection of the vineyard but also to transmit information toward a remote control. Each row has an ＂umbrella＂ designed by the authors which, unlike other commercial solutions, protects the product without hindering all the mechanical activities typical of a modem vineyard. Locally the single umbrella uses an electronic card for the management and a ZigBee mesh telecommunication network to transmit data to a central control unit which manages the protection. Because of its efficiency, a Raspberry-Pi control card has been chosen as central unit. Finally, a WiMAX connection was chosen to remotely control the system, thus allowing the authors to overcome distance limitations of commercial Wi-Fi networks. The system has been realized and tested for some months in field also during a hailstorm. The results of these tests proved how the system is easy to use and effectively protects against hail; moreover the authors proved the high reliability of the mechanical components which allow the authors to lower the maintenance costs.

QoE Assessment in Haptic Teleoperation Systems： Position-Position versus Position-Force

In this paper, we make a comparison of haptic control schemes （position-position and position-force control schemes） for two haptic teleoperation systems by QoE （quality of experience） assessment. One is a remote control system with haptic media and video. In the system, we can write characters by controlling a haptic interface device at a remote place with another haptic interface device while watching video. The other is a remote instruction system with haptic media, video and voice. By using the system, a teacher can actively write characters and teach a student how to write the characters. The student can also write characters actively, and the teacher can confirm how the student writes the characters. We investigate the influences of network delay on QoE for the two systems with the two haptic control schemes.

Remote Control of Fed-Batch Fermentation Systems

Bioreactor operation requires continuous monitoring of fermentation parameters and real-time control over bioreactor devices. Remote monitoring and control of the bioreactor＇s computer via the Internet avoids the necessity of personnel being continually onsite during operation. A two liter Sartorius-stedim Biostat~ A Plus fermentation system was networked and interfaced with the commercial software from GoToMyPC to allow remote control of the fermentation system utilizing the internet. The fermentation vessel was equipped with hardware calibrated for monitoring and controlling culture parameters during experimentations. The uniform resource locator controlled night-vision web camera allowed continuous monitoring of the glass fermentation vessel during the day and at night. The main window screen of the laboratory computer can be securely accessed from any portable device （i.e. laptop） capable of establishing an Internet connection and executing the commercial software from GoToMyPC. The secured internet protocol address, provided by GoToMyPC, assures that the system can only be controlled by authorized users who have been given access to the account. This interface permits the remote control of the Biostat A Plus fermentation system and possibly other automated or potentially automated culturing systems at the convenience of the user（s）.

System design of a dexterous lightweight robot arm with remote control

This paper presents a novel remote controlled dexterous robot arm with 6 degrees of freedom （DOF）. As a highly integrated mechatronics system, sensors and their signal processing system are integrated inside each joint. To lighten the weight, almost all mechanical parts are made of aluminum and the robot control system is placed outside. The modular concept is adopted during the robot design process for time and cost saving. Considering the much greater torque acted on the two shoulder joints, the joint shells are strengthened in the design to increase joint stiffness and suppress system vibration. Meanwhile, to simplify the maintenance, a new spring pins electronic connector is designed to disassemble every joint, connector and link independently without cutting any cables. The teleoperation technology enables the robot to offer more convenient service definitely for people＇ s daily life. Virtual reality technology is used to solve the time delay problem during teleoperation. Finally, two typical daily chore experiments are implemented to prove the manipulation ability of the dexterous robot arm.
