The Open Radio Access network (RAN) architecture has introduced new elements in the RAN, i.e., the RAN Intelligent controllers (RICs), which allow for closed-loop control of the physical infrastructure through custom, data-driven, intelligent applications. At the near-real-time RIC, xApps access RAN nodes through the E2 interface and offer the option to host traditional algorithms or data-driven Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agents to control and optimize RAN functionalities. The O-RAN specifications suggest that Artificial Intelligence (AI) model training should not be done on production RAN deployments to avoid network disruptions and degradation in the quality of Experience (QoE) of the User Equipments (UEs), suggesting the adoption of offline reinforcement learning. However, this approach limits the exploration phase during training to the static data that has already been collected, potentially affecting the performance of the model and its generalization capabilities. Therefore, a safe environment capable of supporting online reinforcement learning is needed to overcome such constraints and to allow AI agents to perform state explorations freely. In this paper, we present a new control environment based on Gymnasium (gym), a Python library for the creation of reinforcement learning environments, and ns-O-RAN, a software integration between a real-world near-real-time RIC and an network Simulator 3 (ns-3) simulated RAN, which exposes the RAN Key performance Indicators (KPIs) through a standardized Application Programming Interface (API) ready to be used by any solving approach. Leveraging ns-O-RAN, we create an environment that dynamically captures the simulated O-RAN telemetry, waits for the agent to compute a decision, receives and delivers such control action to update the RAN configuration in the underlying simulation, allowing the development and test of models in safe and reproducible conditions. Finally, our framework exposes an abstract API interfac

Remote control technology for machines and robots has experienced significant advancement in many domains where visual information delivery is essential. Safety management at airports is one field that benefits from remote controlsystems, enabling operators to scan the airstrip for obstacles and debris. Depth perception and proper view position are critical in remote controlsystems, where operators need to accurately perceive 3D coordinates and maintain an appropriate perspective for performing tasks from a distance. This Demo paper presents a laboratory platform for an experimental study on human interaction with remote controlsystems using visual interfaces for inspection tasks to enhance airport safety management. The platform can evaluate the user experience of interfaces provided by First Person View, Third Person View, and Augmentation technologies. This platform enables exploration through controlled experiments and by user tests. These provide an avenue for assessing how these interfaces may affect human performance, depth perception, and user experience when conducting inspection tasks remotely. The findings will shed light on the strengths and limitations of each interface type, offering insights into their potential applications in various domains such as industrial inspection, surveillance, and remote exploration.

Autonomous Smart Home (ASH) systems incorporate various sensors and internet of Things (IoT) modules to automate and enhance residential functionality. ASH represents an IoT communication paradigm for decision-making, data analysis, task automation during triggered events, and remote accessibility. However, the connectivity of modules via wired and wireless channels can introduce cybersecurity challenges, including data privacy concerns, device tampering, network weaknesses, lack of standardization, and risks associated with firmware and software vulnerabilities. Cyber breaches in ASH can have catastrophic effects, such as unauthorized control of critical home, medical systems, emergency response interference, automated lock system failures, and critical home-appliance sabotage. To address this concern, we propose Smart-Sec, which leverages a deep learning-based Convolutional Neural network (CNN) architecture. The performance of Smart-Sec was evaluated using various optimization algorithms, accuracy comparison, loss depiction, confusion matrix, precision, recall, and F1-score. Among all algorithms, our one-dimensional CNN architecture performed well with the RMSProp optimizer.
