The rapid growth in the population of major cities is causing an increase in energy consumption. Several approaches, including the use of recent technological advancements, are becoming increasingly important. IoT-based applications are becoming more common in addressing a variety of real-time issues. The central idea of the project in collaborating with this new technology is the human-machine interaction. Furthermore, the proposed architecture enables energy-saving applications that perform the following primary functions: estimating energy utilization of the home environment using metering devices; and applying user-defined limits that cut off boundaries providing if it exceeds energy limits. The Internet serves as an interactive medium between servers and home appliances, monitoring and controlling energy consumption remotely. For the purpose, android platform is used to design a mobile application. Raspberry Pi is dedicated for the server that maintains the database of each controllable unit. The proposed idea is successfully tested in the laboratory environment with synthetic load and in real-time over a running energy meter, to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness.

This chapter introduces a conceptual model for the design of Web 2.0 applications relying on rich Internet application (RIA) technologies. RIAs extend Web application features by allowing computation to be partitioned between the client and the server and support core Web 2.0 requirements, like real-time collaboration among users, sophisticated presentation and manipulation of multimedia content, and flexible human-machine interaction (synchronous and asynchronous, connected and disconnected). The proposed approach for the design of Web 2.0 applications extends a conceptual platform-independent model conceived for Web 1.0 applications with novel primitives capturing RIA features; the conceptual model can be automatically converted into implementations in all the most popular RIA technologies and frameworks like AJAX, OpenLaszlo, FLEX, AIR, Google Gears, Google Web toolkit, and Silverlight.

AbstractIn human-machine interaction, robotic hands are useful in many scenarios. To operate robotic hands via gestures instead of handles will greatly improve the convenience and intuition of human-machine interaction. Here, we present a magnetic array assisted sliding triboelectric sensor for achieving a real-time gesture interaction between a human hand and robotic hand. With a finger’s traction movement of flexion or extension, the sensor can induce positive/negative pulse signals. Through counting the pulses in unit time, the degree, speed, and direction of finger motion can be judged in real-time. The magnetic array plays an important role in generating the quantifiable pulses. The designed two parts of magnetic array can transform sliding motion into contact-separation and constrain the sliding pathway, respectively, thus improve the durability, low speed signal amplitude, and stability of the system. This direct quantization approach and optimization of wearable gesture sensor provide a new strategy for achieving a natural, intuitive, and real-time human-robotic interaction.
