This paper introduced to develop and implementation of PC based controller for humanoid robot using digital potentiometer. The main objective in this paper is to develop and implement the joystick controller by using a digital potentiometer circuit board that be able to control the humanoid robot movement. The Arduino board and digital potentiometer will be integrated by connecting both pins in between wiper, W pin and ground, GND to the DB9 pins of remote control platform, which is TX and RX pins respectively. Humanoid robot as known as TOMY i-SOBOT is used as a preferred model due to wide usage in many applications. A digital potentiometer will be transmitted the voltage and current value depend on the digital level through serial communication to give the instruction for humanoid robot movement. The humanoid movement based on Guided User Interface (GUI) where the user give a commands by pressing the button on the GUI such as turn left, right, forward, and reverse. The results show that the humanoid movement able to control based on the voltage and current in a digital potentiometers value.

In The Beginning

This paper mentions some problems related to utilization of a head-mounted display (HMD) for remote control of mobile robots by a human operator and also presents a possible solution. Considered is specifically the new HMD device called Oculus Rift, which is a very interesting device because of its great parameters and low price. The device is described in the beginning, together with some of the specific principles of the Oculus 3D display. Then follows the design of a new graphical user interface for teleoperation, with main focus on visualization of stereoscopic images from robot cameras. Demonstrated is also a way how to display additional data and information to the operator. The overall aim is to create a comfortable and highly effective interface suitable both for exploration and manipulation tasks in mobile robotics.

Potential Usefulness

The potential usefulness of a humanoid robot (Robothespian) was investigated by a group of six MSc students who chose to use this system for one of their oral assignments. A variety of methodologies were used by the student ranging from treating the Robothepsian mostly as a machine to an apparently fully interactive live conversation. The humanoid robot proved to be an interesting and stimulating approach but it did have problems with the user interface used (touch screen display) and that there was only one available.

6 Degrees Of Freedom

After disasters, remote control of construction machinery is often required to ensure the safety of workers during excavation. However, only limited numbers of remote-controlled construction machinery exist, and they are typically larger than conventional machinery. After a disaster, the transportation of such machinery takes additional time and is often troublesome. Therefore, it would be desirable to develop a remote-control system that could easily be installed on ordinary construction machinery. A pneumatic humanoid robot arm is in the process of being developed. While considering the portability issue, a lightweight fiber knitted pneumatic artificial rubber muscle (PARM) was selected as the actuator for the arm. This arm can be installed on all construction machinery models, can be controlled remotely, and has been designed for easy installation and portability. In this research, construction machinery was retrofitted with a pneumatic robot that enables it to be operated remotely. This robot has 6 degrees of freedom and utilizes the fiber knitted PARM. Experiments were conducted to measure the static characteristics of the new PARM and to measure their performance in the remote control of construction machinery. Experimental results showed that the developed system is able to achieve handling two levers of machinery, one that controls back and forward movement and the other that controls the bucket. Experimental results showed that the developed system successfully operated construction machinery remotely.

The Media

We have designed, implemented, and deployed a camera control system and a conference controller that provide remote control capabilities for videoconferencing over the Internet. The camera control system allows users to pan, tilt, and zoom the cameras, switch between cameras, and get a picture-in-picture view from their desktops. The conference controller allows conference participants to not only start and stop the media tools on a remote host, but also to dynamically change settings and turn transmission on and off. It supports the vic (video) and vat (audio) Internet videoconferencing tools and enhances their usability by providing an integrated and secure user interface for local and remote control of these applications. This paper describes the design and implementation of the camera control system (devserv and camclnt) and the conference controller (confcntlr). The remote control capabilities offered by these tools have changed the videoconferencing paradigm to one of telepresence. With these tools remote users can “walk” around the room, focus in on objects, and actively participate rather than just observe.

Abstrak Perangkat IoT yang diimlementasi pada banyak tempat dapat mengalami perubahan berupa update firmware. Update firmware pada perangkat IoT biasanya dilakukan dengan  mengambil perangkat IoT, lalu menghubungkan ke komputer mengunakan komunikasi serial melalui kabel usb to micro usb, selanjutnya melakukan update firmware pada perangkat IoT dan mengembalikan perangkat IoT ke tempat. Jika sistem pada perangkat IoT sudah dapat berkomunikasi melalui antar muka jaringan, tidak perlu lagi mengunakan kabel usb to micro usb, karena bisa dimanfaatkan over the air update firmware mengunaka antar muka jaringan pada perangkat IoT. Over the air update firmware adalah memuat firmware hasil build dari arduino ide pada perangkat IoT mengunakan antar muka jaringan Wi-Fi, pada penelitian ini perangkat IoT mengunakan mikrokontroler esp8266 12E. Untuk melakukan update firmware perangkat IoT digunakan protokol MQTT untuk menjembatani antara aplikasi berbasis website sebagai interface penguna untuk PUBLISH file firmware ke perangkat IoT. Hasil dari implementasi Aplikasi berbasis website untuk over the air update firmware pada perangkat IoT dengan protokol MQTT, dalam 10 kali pengujian pengiriman file firmware perangkat IoT mengunakan masing-masing QoS 0, QoS 1, dan QoS 2, didapatkan hasil QoS 2 lebih direkomendasikan untuk digunakan mengirim file firmware dengan keberhasilan update firmware QoS 0 = 50 %, QoS 1 = 70% dan QoS 2 = 80% dari 10 kali percobaan pengirman file firmware pada perangkat IoT.Abstract IoT devices that are implemented in many places can experience changes in the form of firmware updates. Firmware update on an IoT device is usually done by taking an IoT device, then connecting to the computer using serial communication via a usb to micro usb cable, then updating the firmware on the IoT device and returning the IoT device to its place. If the system on the IoT device is able to communicate through a network interface, there is no need to use a USB to Micro USB cable, because it can be utilized over the air firmware update using the network interface on the IoT device. Over the air firmware update is to load the firmware build from Arduino Idea on an IoT device using the Wi-Fi network interface, in this study the IoT device uses the ES8266 12E microcontroller. To update the firmware of the IoT device the MQTT protocol is used to bridge the website-based application as a user interface for PUBLISH firmware files to the IoT device. The results of the implementation of a website-based application for over the air firmware update on IoT devices with the MQTT protocol, in 10 times testing the sending of IoT device firmware files using each of QoS 0, QoS 1, and QoS 2, the results obtained QoS 2 are more recommended for use sending firmware files with successful firmware update QoS 0 = 50%, QoS 1 = 70% and QoS 2 = 80% of 10 attempts to test the firmware file on an IoT device.
