The use of Pneumatic Muscle Actuator (PMA) in medical robots for rehabilitation has changed due to the requirements for a compliant, light weight and user-friendly robotic system. In this paper, a control system for controlling the bi-articular actuators (PMA) is proposed. Based on the information obtained from the positional input data (hip and knee joint angles), a contraction model is derived using mathematical equations to determine the contraction patterns of antagonistic mono-and bi-articular actuators, and then implemented it into the control system. Anterior and posterior muscle activation levels are introduced into the model to manipulate its magnitude. There are two tests for the control system; first is with antagonistic mono-articular actuators alone; second is along with antagonistic bi-articular actuators. The contraction model control scheme was tested on a healthy subject in a robot assisted walk test, and satisfactory performance was obtained. The result showed that, the cycle time of the gait training system is improved up to 3 seconds gait cycle compared to 5 seconds gait cycle used in previous research. However, a little time shift and inertia occurred when the controller is tested at faster gait cycle time of 2 seconds and 1 second. Thus, the potential field and iterative learning control are suggested to improve the gait cycle of the system.

As one of the key equipment for handling nuclear assembly in nuclear power station, the Nuclear Fuel Elevator (NFE) is mainly used to handle the new assembly and examine the spent assembly. Considering the safety and reliability for the high radioactivity environment, the control system with two levels of hardware controllers and module hierarchical software architecture is proposed. The HMI which is convenient and user-friendly is also developed for operator. The load protection and dynamic PID-control is mentioned in detail.

The article presents the main stages of the development of remote control system for the inspection mobile robot operating on inclined ferromagnetic surfaces. The mobile robot remains on the surface and moves along working areas using separate clamping permanent magnets and caterpillars. The focus is on the control system’s architecture and remote data transmission based on Internet of Things technologies. Features of non-expensive Arduino Uno and WeMos D1 R2 mini microcontrolled development boards, cloud service Blynk, as well as multi-tab Android application interactions are revealed at the inspection mobile robot movement on the inclined surface. Experimental results of the proposed system show a good compatibility of chosen hardware, user-friendly human-machine interface and high mobility for future research of modern control algorithms at Internet of Things approach implementation for the extreme robotics.

Today's Industrial Control Applications are done by Remote Process only. Lab VIEW Software plays major role in Industrial Monitoring and control systems. In this paper i am going to discuss about Lab View based induction motor drive control system. It is One of the most common applications required in remote control and monitoring. Drive control system has various types of controller, in order to perform some actions such as control the speed, forward and reverse turning direction of the motor. This approach can be done by Lab VIEW programming, and with the rise of the technology, Ethernet module will be used in order to achieve the remote control system. Lab VIEW is a human machine interfaces design software that is user friendly. It can be easily communicate with different hardware.

<span lang="EN-AU">Smart home control system can be integrated into an existing home appliances to reduce the need for human intervention, increase security and energy efficiency. However, it is still an open problem due to difficulties such as network distance, signal interference, not user friendly, increased cost and power consumption. This paper reviews various topics on smart home technologies including control system, smart home network, smart home appliance and sensor technologies for smart home. In this research, the proposed prototype of home automation allows users to remotely switch on or off any household appliance based on Internet of Things (IoT) with the enhancement of solar charger. The smartphone and/or tablet replaces the manual use of personal computer without the need for high additional cost. This prototype uses four types of sensors i.e. PIR sensor, temperature sensor, ultrasonic sensor and smoke gas sensor for automatic environmental control and intrusion detection.</span>

A novel type of a user-friendly "man-to-TV set" interface has been designed for the new generation of digital TV sets with many hundreds of channels. It consists of an optimised remote-control device and a system of menus appearing on the TV screen. Response of potential users has been tested on the groups of students of different age and education, including seniors. Positive results have shown that the new TV control system can be used in practice.

Longitudinal Slip

A challenging problem faced by wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) such as planetary rovers traversing loose sloped terrain is the inevitable longitudinal slip suffered by the wheels, which often leads to their deviation from the predetermined trajectory, reduced drive efficiency, and possible failures. This study investigates this problem using terramechanics analysis of the wheel-soil interaction. First, a slope-based wheel-soil interaction terramechanics model is built, and an online slip coordinated algorithm is designed based on the goal of optimal drive efficiency. An equation of state is established using the coordinated slip as the desired input and the actual slip as a state variable. To improve the robustness and adaptability of the control system, an adaptive neural network is designed. Analytical results and those of a simulation using Vortex demonstrate the significantly improved mobile performance of the WMR using the proposed control system.

This paper reports a qualitative study of the acceptability of lighting control systems by 41 French office workers, in three sites with dimmable lighting, respectively with manual, semi-manual, and automatic control. The analysis of the results aimed to determine the characteristics of an ideal lighting control system. It appeared that the occupants found automatic continuous daylight-linked systems discreet, but they needed to be able to override them. The complexity of the remote control has led occupants to under-exploit it. Many occupants chose lower artificial light levels when daylight was bright, in order to benefit more from daylight. Automatic dimming with manual choice of illuminance level, optional task lighting, and user friendly control, may be the key elements of an ideal lighting control system.
