This paper presents a new computer supported remote learning and gaming method using Tele-Face Mouse system. The Tele-Face Mouse system is being developed as a teleconference system. It converts simple desktop computers to a teleconference system. The main advantage of the Tele-Face Mouse system is that it enables people to share a computer screen as a working space, and to interact with it usi...

This paper deals with the problem of tele-monitoring EEG signals. In EEG tele-monitoring system, the integral step is to compress the signals in computationally efficient manner so that they can be transmitted over a limited bandwidth. In such a situation a Compressed Sensing (CS) framework for compressing 1 September 2013 ccepted 16 September 2013 vailable online 12 October 2013 eywords: and r...

Tele-robotics is an area of robotics concerned with the control of robots from a distance, chiefly using wireless connections like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, the Deep Space Network, ‘tethered’ connections, or the Internet. Most tele-robotic systems are teleoperated which means that it relies on the human operator’s capabilities. Many aspects like limited perception, cognitive workload, mental capacity, ...

SUMMARY During the last decade we assisted to relevant progress in rehabilitation studies and in technological development. From the combination of these issues rises the tele-rehabilitation--a subfield of telemedicine consisting of a system to control rehabilitation "at distance"--as an actual possibility of application and a promising development in the future. The present paper offers a shor...

Three new species of Macrelmis Motschulsky, 1859 (Macrelmis bispo sp. nov., Macrelmis froehlichi sp. nov., and Macrelmis nessimiani sp. nov.) are herein described and illustrated. The species were collected from several streams in Goiás State, Brazil, a formerly unknown region concerning Elmidae fauna. We also provide an updated key for the Macrelmis species of Brazil.

The current paper presents techniques that facilitate mobile robots to be deployed as interactive agents in populated environments, such as museum exhibitions or trade shows. The mobile robots can be teleoperated over the Internet and this way provide remote access to distant users. Throughout this paper we describe several key techniques that have been developed in the context of relevant EU-I...

This paper presents techniques that facilitate mobile robots to be deployed as interactive agents in populated environments such as museum exhibitions or trade shows. The mobile robots can be tele-operated over the Internet and, this way, provide remote access to distant users. Throughout this paper we describe several key techniques that have been developed in this context. To support safe and...
