A master-slave type remote ultrasound diagnostic system was developed. This paper presents and evaluates its control strategy. There is only one impedance controller that is located in the master site or the slave site or the relay point in the conventional impedance controller. Therefore, the effect of the time lag in transmitting force and position data becomes large in the conventional syste...

An adaptive cont...

Bluetooth is a promising technology aiming at supporting short-range wireless communication. To achieve the advantage of simplicity and low-power, the master/slave model is used. However, this model has some drawbacks since no direct link exists between any two slaves in a piconet. Consequently, slave-to-slave communications must go through the master, and the master has to use extra bandwidth ...

This paper proposes an iterative parallel genetic algorithm with biased initial population to solve large-scale combinatorial optimization problems. The proposed scheme employs a master-slave collaboration in which the master node manages searched space of slave nodes and assigns seeds to generate initial population to slaves for their restarting of evolution process. Our approach allows us as ...

Minimally invasive surgery systems typically involve thin and cabledriven surgical instruments. This introduces link and joint flexibility in the slave robot of a master-slave teleoperation system, reducing the effective stiffness of the slave and the transparency of teleoperation. In this paper, we analyze transparency under slave link and joint flexibility (tool flexibility). We also evaluate...

This paper investigates the problem of exponential synchronization for a class of master-slave systems with both discrete and distributed time-delays, norm-bounded nonlinear uncertainties and Markovian switching parameters. Using an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, some delay-dependent sufficient conditions and a synchronization law which include the master-slave parameters are estab...
