This paper presents the implementation of a 2D-lidar to a model-scale surface vessel, and the design of a control system that makes the vessel able to perform autonomous exploration of a small-scale marine environment by the use of the lidar and SLAM. This includes a presentation and discussion of experimental results. The completion of this system has involved the development of a suitable control system that merges exploration strategies, path planners, a motion controller, and a strategy for generating controller setpoints. The system was implemented on the Robot Operating System platform, which made it possible to utilize open-source algorithms for state of the art SLAM.

The standard of OSEK/VDX which used in the embedded operating system of car was analysized, and based on this, to select the open-source real-time operating system μC/OS-II as a operation system that will be loaded in the control chip. After that the kernel structure of the μC/OS-II was analysized, and modified the kernel of the system in accordance with OSEK/VDX standards, then translated the μC/OS-II system to the LPC2131 development board for the follow-up application development laid the foundation.

Compared with the traditional electric-powered wheelchair, people are paying more attention on intelligent wheelchair. While the traditional intelligent wheelchair relays on separate designed control system, it is not good for general use. In that case, ROS provides an easy to use framework for rapid system development so that the researchers can develop various software packages to meet their needs, and we can also call each other packages without considering the compatibility problems. In this paper, we present a ROS (Robot Operating System) based intelligent wheelchair with the function of voice-control navigation. Compared with the traditional navigation, the voice-control navigation is more human. Obviously, ROS increases the versatility of system and reduces the cost. In order to prove the advancement and feasibility of this developed system, some experimental results are given in the paper.

Passende Schnittstellen und Offenheit spielen in der Service-Robotik eine wichtige Rolle, um flexible Applikationen für den industriellen Einsatz zu entwickeln. Schließlich ist der Markt von innovativen Start-ups geprägt und der Wunsch nach Interoperabilität groß. Mithilfe des Open-Source-Robotik-Frameworks ROS (Robot Operating System) können Anwender ihre individuelle Service-Robotik-Applikation einfach und flexibel umsetzen.

Participatory Action Research (PAR) is an established method to implement change in organizations. However, it cannot be applied in the open source (FOSS) communities, without adaptation to their particularities, especially to the specific control mechanisms developed in FOSS. FOSS communities are self-managed, and rely on consensus to reach decisions. This study proposes a PAR framework specifically tailored to FOSS communities. We successfully applied the framework to implement a set of quality assurance interventions in the Robot Operating System community. The framework we proposed is composed of three components, interventions design, democratization, and execution. We believe that this process will work for other FOSS communities too. We have learned that changing a particular aspect of a FOSS community is arduous. To achieve success the change must rally the community around it for support and attract motivated volunteers to implement the interventions.

<p><em>Smartphones with the Android operating system are increasingly available in the market at increasingly affordable prices. The Android operating system itself is an open source operating system that can be modified according to needs. In this research, the aim is to design and implement a home lighting control system that activates and deactivates via a smartphone using Bluetooth and makes Android a multifunctional cellular device, in addition to a communication device but also as a device that is communicated to control a hardware device. Based on the results of tests conducted, the system can work properly in accordance with the goals of the lamp control application program that is made to run on the Android operating system, and can activate and deactivate the lamp driver device. Data communication between the lamp driver device and the Android smartphone runs well, the range of the control application system can control the lamp driver device depending on the specifications of the Bluetooth device used both from the receiver and sender side</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords :</em></strong><em> Smartphone, Android, Full Control System, Bluetooth</em></p>
