During recent years there is a strong trend towards radio frequency (RF) remote controls as it is delivering even more comfort to the users and increased usability with high robustness of the RF links. Lower power consumption with new features and security make RF remote control systems more competitive with widely used IR remote control systems. In this paper we propose, a RF module based real...

The arrival of the era of third-generation (3G) mobile phone will cause earth-shaking changes, as a kind of new communication technologies will play in the fields of estimation. The rapid development of electronic technology and information technology, which had brought about a revolution of control and management of agricultural, mobile 3G era will give the agricultural revolution fueled, and ...

− The proper handling of alarms is crucial to any automated process control. In practice, many alarms are only distractive and do not represent a potentially dangerous situation. This paper presents a methodology and a computerized tool that aims to remove such nuisance alarms, a so-called alarm cleanup. This is a general, systematic approach that takes advantage of the control system’s built-i...

Industrial appliances do usually have RS232 ports to enable computer control and monitoring. In this paper we present a system to allow remote control by GSM/GPRS messaging not disturbing local link. To do so, the module must include a port arbiter to handle bi-directional communications between a RS232 and the two other ports (RS232 and GSM/GPRS).

This paper describes the philosophy behind the remote level control of a didactical platform. Issues related to the hardware and software architecture that allow remote access to the experimental platform using a simple Internet browser and some concepts about the control strategy used are presented. The virtual laboratory application is built primarily as an educational tool for distance learn...

DoCoMo aims to expand its businesses that support the everyday life infrastructure, based on it’s business providing communication infrastructure. In this context, consumer-oriented robots constitute one of the noteworthy areas, and the market is expected to grow dramatically in the everyday life-related fields in the future [1]. With the current technologies, autonomous robots with human-like ...

This paper describes the development and design of a vision-based remote controlled cellular robot. Cellular robots have numerous applications in industrial problems where simple inexpensive robots can be used to perform diierent tasks that involve covering a large working space. As a methodology, the robots are controlled based on the visual input from one or more cameras that monitor the work...

This paper reviews the checkered history of predictive distributions in statistics and discusses two developments, one from recent literature and the other new. The first development is bringing predictive distributions into machine learning, whose early development was so deeply influenced by two remarkable groups at the Institute of Automation and Remote Control. The second development is com...

This paper proposes a monitoring and remote control system based on human localization in informationally structured space using a sensor network. First, we explain informationally structured space, robot partners, remote control system for home appliances, and sensor networks for human motion measurement developed in this study. Next, we apply a spiking neural network to extract a person from ...

This study investigates the risky positioning behaviour of underground coal mine employees, specifically the behaviour of drivers of remote controlled continuous miners. The patterns of behaviour of these employees are of particular interest, not only because of a series of fatal accidents in New South Wales coal mines with such equipment, but also because of the lack of scientific enquiry of r...
