Abstract Many clinical laboratory instruments are not designed for robotic compatibility, hence the need for standardization of data communications and analyzer interface hardware. We developed an interface with supporting software that simplifies communication between a microcomputer and clinical instruments. Our interface establishes a standardized bidirectional communications protocol, which is useful in many clinical laboratory robotic projects. Instruments targeted for interfacing require no prior on-board communications capabilities. Additionally, modifications to the clinical instrument are minimized. Once installed, the interface translates input commands to codes or actions recognizable by the analyzer. Features not normally available to the user, such as electrode real-time response and full instrument status, are also reported by the interface, thereby establishing a remote monitor and control mechanism for the interfaced instrument. We have written an operating system to control the interface microcomputer, which in turn commands and monitors the clinical analyzer. A host computer controls the information flow to the interface and provides (a) requests to the interface for instrument operation and status and (b) commands to the interface to initiate the desired instrument operation. This arrangement maintains complete instrument functionality as designed by the manufacturer while allowing remote monitoring and operation of the instrument.

The objective of this paper is to monitor the electrical parameters like voltage, current, etc., remotely and display all the obtained real time values for a substation isolate. This paper is furnished to assure the load and electrical system equipment by the activation of relay, whenever the acquired parameters exceed the predefined values. Generally, this Proposed system design makes use of microcontroller, but the prototype of this circuit modelled in Proteus and can be executed by using ATmega 168 microcontroller. When supply is given to the designed hardware, all the sensors start sensing their respective parameters i. e., voltage, current, temperature etc., and modernize all the values on the display. Comparison between the problem-solving time values and the preordained values is continuously carried out by the microcontroller, if any of these values go beyond the pre-defined values, it sends fault alert to the relay, updates it on the screen and sends the same as an SMS through GSM for the rectification.

Agricultural mechanization has become the main mode of agricultural production and represents the development direction of modern agriculture. The amount of data generated in the agricultural production process is extremely huge, so it is necessary to introduce the concept and analysis method of big data. Combining agricultural robots with big data can improve the performance and application effect of robots. This paper combines big data, WLAN technology and robot technology to realize man-machine remote cooperation platform. This gives full play to the advantages that people are good at object recognition and robots are good at execution, and improves the fruit picking efficiency. The target fruit positioning and recognition system aided by machine vision is adopted to realize the accurate positioning of the fruit to be picked. Design of LFM control signal fitting based on big data clustering. In order to verify the feasibility of the scheme, taking the tomato picking robot as an example, the communication error and control accuracy using big data and WIFI (Wireless Fidelity) technology were tested, and the positioning and navigation efficiency with and without remote monitoring system was compared. Test results show that using big data and WIFI remote monitoring technology can effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of positioning and navigation of remote operating system, which is of great significance for the design of automatic control system of picking robot.

The technological age we're in removes all the temporal and spatial boundaries of communication and continues to provide various opportunities and conveniences for us. However, in this digital age in which individuals face intense information flow every day along with these opportunities, the effectiveness and control power of means of communication also increase. In today's capitalist or modern social order, a child model whose mental processes in a consumption-oriented way, who fully gets hold of the control mechanism and acts as an adult is being created. Parent profile of modern order accepts this model and they expect their children to behave as adults. The aim of this study is to find solutions to problems children—who have increasingly become dependent on communication devices of the digital age—face in socializing, establishing realistic relationships, and getting included within the communicative action of a realistic world to guide and raise awareness within parents for developing new communicative methods and skills with the children who have almost become mechanized.

Recent years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has gained great attention and importance both in civil and military applications all over the world. Ground Monitoring and Control System (GMCS) is an important part of the entire unmanned helicopter system. As UAV develops rapidly, the functions and tasks are becoming increasingly complex, and the ground control station needs to collect more data. In addition, establishing a real-time and reliable communication system has become an important part of the control system of UAVs. The μC/OS-II operating system has the characteristics of modular application which can be used for multiple task operations, and can satisfy the requirement of real time system very well. And the system was successfully applicable to practical UAV fighter and the setting up of The Ground Monitoring Station.

This article took ISG Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) as the target, studied its different engine starts under traditional control and μC/OS-II multitask real time operating system. Through the experimental comparisons in engine start strategy and control method, this study reached the conclusion that, the engine start process under μC/OS-II multitask real time operating system is more precise and smooth than that under the traditional control. In this way, multitask real time operating system can help reduce the fuel consumption and emission in engine start.

The experimental results show that the system has the characteristics of real-time, multi-function and high reliability. It is of great significance to implement defensive maintenance, improve power supply quality, save energy and reduce consumption.
