The paper analyzes some of Tesla's works and his most remarkable views concerning the problem of formulating theoretical bases of automatic control. As a tribute to Tesla's work on remote control of automated systems, as well to his (at the time) far-seeing visions, special attention is paid to solving complex problem of control and feedback application. A more detailed discussion of the way and origin of formulating theoretical bases of automatic control are given. Besides, in more detail are presented the related pioneering works of Professor Nicholas Bernstein, great Russian physiologist who formulated the basic rules of the self-regulating movements of the man. Bernstein has achievements of highest scientific significance that has been in a direct function of identifying and proving the priority of his pioneering contributions in the domain of feedback, i.e. control and principles of cybernetics.

The risks of automation in making "smart" decisions are among the most critical problems facing the modern world, as the issue of digitizing all areas of society is an integral part of it. Today, anyone tries to make their life simple in everything from robots used in production to remote control of home appliances. The decision-making process also tends to be simplified, but this simplification creates some risks that must be addressed, minimized, or prevented at best. This research aims to understand the principles and methods of developing, making, implementing, automating decisions and risks. In this study, the phenomenon of automating administrative decision-making was studied, the risks of this trend were considered, and the extent of effective implementation of this trend in Jordan was understood. This work can be used as a theoretical basis for automating business processes and as practical recommendations for monitoring and researching vulnerabilities in automated systems.

This essay outlines the use of the mathematical machinery used to program automated systems as a way to describe a form of structured improvisation. Examples of such automated systems range from simple devices like a remote control to complex automation governing the status of a high-security building. The essay points out the connection of the mathematics governing these systems to the movements induced in users of such automated systems and will delve into how such objects describe a whole class of possible movement sequences, or choices, in a given structured improvisation. In a world where such programmed devices are ubiquitous, this type of exploration from the arts is essential in understanding how these devices are changing our lives.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse teleoperation of an ABB industrial robot with an ABB IRC5 controller. A method to improve motion smoothness and decrease latency using the existing ABB IRC5 robot controller without access to any low-level interface is proposed. Design/methodology/approach – The proposed control algorithm includes a high-level proportional-integral-derivative controller (PID) controller used to dynamically generate reference velocities for different travel ranges of the tool centre point (TCP) of the robot. Communication with the ABB IRC5 controller was performed utilising the ABB PC software development kit. The multitasking feature of the IRC5 controller was used to enhance the communication frequency between the controller and the remote application. Trajectory tracking experiments of a pre-defined three-dimensional trajectory were carried out and the benefits of the proposed algorithm were demonstrated. The robot was intentionally installed on a wobbly table and its vibrations were recorded using a six-degrees-of-freedom force/torque sensor fitted to the tool mounting interface of the robot. The robot vibrations were used as a measure of the smoothness of the tracking movements. Findings – A communication rate of up to 250 Hz between the computer and the controller was established using C# .Net. Experimental results demonstrating the robot TCP, tracking errors and robot vibrations for different control approaches were provided and analysed. It was demonstrated that the proposed approach results in the smoothest motion with tracking errors of < 0.2 mm. Research limitations/implications – The proposed approach may be employed to produce smooth motion for a remotely operated ABB industrial robot with the existing ABB IRC5 controller. However, to achieve high-bandwidth path following, the inherent latency of the controller must be overcome, for example by utilising a low-level interface. It is particularly useful for applications including a large number of short manipulation segments, which is typical in teleoperation applications. Social implications – Using the proposed technique, off-the-shelf industrial robots can be used for research and industrial applications where remote control is required. Originality/value – Although low-level control interface for industrial robots seems to be the ideal long-term solution for teleoperation applications, the proposed remote control technique allows out-of-the-box ABB industrial robots with IRC5 controllers to achieve high efficiency and manipulation smoothness without requirements of any low-level programming interface.

ABSTRACTThe ever-growing need to improve manufacturing processes has led recently to an increase in the number of automation solutions used to assemble aircraft structural elements. A process of interest to this industry is the alignment of fuselage sections, which is currently done either manually or by complex, expensive automated systems. The manual method introduces a significant production delay and most automated systems have limited flexibility. This article presents an integration solution implemented in an alternative low-cost, high-flexibility alignment robotic cell. The performance of an optical coordinate measuring machine (CMM) as feedback source for the adaptive control of a conventional industrial manipulator is assessed. Laser interferometry readings are used as reference. The contribution of the work lies in the execution of experiments based on the EN ISO 9283 standard (Manipulating industrial robots - performance criteria and related test methods) to determine the adequacy of the commercial off-the-shelf system to the tolerances and requirements of the fuselage alignment process at hand. The optimal configuration of the integrated system attained the nominal alignment position with an average accuracy of 0.16mm and $0.004^\circ$ , partially meeting the required tolerances, and the obtained values are nearly 16x better compared to a baseline, open-loop manipulator. These results serve as reference for the aerospace industry in the development of the next generation of tools and automated assembly processes.

It is known that the area of the implementation of automated systems for remote control of the technological processes of gas transportation and distribution, as well as its commercial metering and consumption is set for the settlements with population exceeding 100 thousand people. It has a centralized structure, including the lower level − controlled stations, and the upper level − central dispatcher board, which is implemented in the form of automation-equipped workstations connected using computer networks.
