This paper presents the design and implementation of control strategy for both the speed and direction of a direct current (DC) motor using Android-based application in smart phone. The Raspberry Pi 3 with a motor driver controller has been used to implement the control action via Python-based user-defined programming. The Android application has been developed using Android Developer Tools (ADT) in Java platform. The Android apps work like a client and communicates with Raspberry Pi through wi-fi connectivity. Finally, a small graphical user interface (GUI) has been created in Python in order to interface and control the motor with buttons in GUI. The advantages of GUI are that it is attractive, user friendly, and even a layman can work with the application developed in GUI.

Although traditionally researchers have focused on making robotics more user-friendly from a human perspective, a new theory has begun to take shape in which humans take on the perspective of a robotic entity. The following set of studies examined the concept of technomorphism defined as the attribution of technological characteristics to humans. This concept has been mentioned anecdotally and studied indirectly, but there is nothing currently available to tap into the various forms that technomorphism may take. Through the study of technomorphism, researchers have come slightly closer to the question of how technology is influencing our perceptions of what it means to be human. The findings from this work should help fuel the desire of others in the field to think about the potential influences of technomorphism during the design and implementation of new devices as well as in how technology may be related to how we perceive each other.

Three hundred and seventeen grape accessions from the National Active Grape Germplasm Site in India were analysed with 25 microsatellite markers. A total of 411 alleles were detected, of which 42% were rare alleles. Unique alleles for 56 genotypes were also identified. The analysis of microsatellite data identified 63 duplicate accessions and only 254 accessions were unique genotypes. Several cases of misnomers, synonymy and homonymy were identified. Parental genotype for a few clonal selections was ascertained. Population structure analysis grouped 254 unique genotypes into four major clusters. The analysis also revealed the presence of admixtures with only 79% of pure ancestry. A core collection comprising 80 genotypes was identified, which represented all the alleles and genetic diversity. A user-friendly and interactive computer application software was developed for storage and the retrieval of molecular data. A molecular database for the 254 genotypes was created. This analysis will help in the rationalization and better management of germplasm. Information on genetic diversity and population structure will form the basis for varietal improvement programmes.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a solar powered automated greenhouse. The objectives are to automatically control the environment, irrigation, and fertilizer to plants in the greenhouse. Another aspect is that its operation is suitable for anyone without knowledge in greenhouses, computers, electronics, etc. Specific objectives are: Control the gain of the low temperature by means of a sensor and actuators that extract fans as hot air and introduce fresh air, and a lamp to increase the temperature if necessary. Control the relative humidity by means of a sensor and valves that open to introduce water and fertilize if necessary. Control the charge and discharge of the battery to avoid prejudicing its life. Develop a modular, user-friendly and simple to operate. Battery is charged by solar cells. This greenhouse can be installed in remote towns where electricity is not available.

A user-friendly computer interface was created for the SPEX 1403 Raman spectrometer using the LabVIEW computer package. The interface allows the user to align the spectrometer easily, produce a graph of the Raman spectra, and save the file to a format readable by a spreadsheet program. The program has three screens: the first allows the user to set initial settings, the second allows the user to read from a particular wavelength for proper alignment, and the third allows the user to set scan settings and perform the scan. The interface was successful in reading Raman spectra easily and efficiently.

The design and implementation of a graphical user interface (GUI) for the control and operation of a biped robot is presented. This GUI allows establishing communication between the user, the robot and a computer (controller) so that the robot can perform bipedal walking without the need to introduce commands that are not user-friendly. The developed graphic interface permits the user to carry out tasks operating on the robot without having to resort to commands that are not easy to use. This interface was created using the MATLAB-Simulink software and it presents important advantages compared to the manual operation of a robot.

Abstract The Environment For Application Software Integration and Execution (EASIE) is a methodology and a set of software utility programs developed at the NASA Langley Research Center for coordinating the use of engineering design and analysis computer programs. Under user direction, EASIE controls the execution of independently developed programs and manages the flow of data to and from a common relational data base in order to accomplish design or analysis objectives. The process is highly automated. For example, a utility program generates a DATA DICTIONARY, describing the contents of the data base and the various subsets of data used by the application programs. Other utilities automatically generate FORTRAN or C subroutines to link the application programs with the database or to pre- and post-process the data. EASIE is also “user friendly,” providing “windows” into the data base to view subsets of the data and the means to modify the data at any time A key feature is the degree of independence it provides to the programmer and user from the details of the operating system and Data Base Management System. EASIE has been used successfully in the integration of several design systems at Langley and within the aerospace industry. This paper discusses the application of EASIE to these specific systems, emphasizing the advantages it has provided to both programmers and users. Significant improvements made as a result of these experiences will also be discussed.
