TV is one of the most important home appliances and the remote controller is a crucial TV input device. TV remote controllers have always been designed with TV compatibility in mind, with little concern for TV programs or ease of use. This is a serious limitation to the development of TV services, such as iTV (interactive TV). A system framework is proposed in this study in which external displ...

SOMba is a systemwhere multiple users create new rhythms and music by moving around a physical space while being tracked in real time using the infrared sensor on the Wii remote control. The physical space they move around in is mapped to a 2D Self-Organizing map. This SOM is created using the Marsyas audio processing framework from a collection of aligned 1-bar Samba rhythms of a variety of Br...

All common household devices are infrared compatible and have separate remote to control them. With the advancement of the society and smart home, the demand of home appliances are increasing resulting in the increase in remote controls for them. This paper proposes an approach to completely remove the remote and use our android mobile with infrared port facility to control the home appliances....

Robotic surgery and remotely controlled teleoperational systems are on the rise. However, serious limitations arise on both the hardware and software side when traditional modeling and control approaches are taken. These limitations include the incomplete modeling of robot dynamics, tool–tissue interaction, human– machine interfaces and the communication channel. Furthermore, the inherent laten...

In this project the design of a TV remote control for elderly was approached taking into account their needs and their visual and motor deficiencies. Following the iterative design process preliminary user interviews were conducted and an easy to use TV remote control was designed as well as evaluated. The device is equipped with the basic controls for volume and changing channels and it also i...

in this paper, we present a way for students to access and operate laboratory equipment, controlled by a laboratory computer via a remote access program. In this way, the solution is not dependent on the specific laboratory equipment, as long as the equipment can be remotely controlled. The system can easily be altered to be used in another laboratory setup. Students are able to make reservatio...

The development of remote laboratory suitable for the reinforcement of undergraduate level teaching of mechatronics is important. For the reason, a Web-based mechatronics learning system, called the RECOLAB (REmote COntrol LABoratory), for remote learning in engineering education has been developed in this study. The web-based environment is an educational technology for learning the principles...
