The present study shows the development of computational algorithms to represent aircraft instruments such as the attitude indicator or the turn-and-slip indicator;moreover, the algorithms represent a magnetic compass and other instruments that function according to other physical theories. These instruments work by using the gyroscope and magnetic principles and help the pilot in navigation. These are considered to be the basic instruments required to provide location-related and positional information about the actual aircraft attitude. The algorithms developed in this study are capable of working in concordance with other instruments and the physical conditions established. The programming language used was C++ and the algorithms were compiled in independent files and subroutines for computational efficiency, eliminating unnecessary code. The display options were successfully tested. Additionally, an analysis that evaluated the error and approached flight simulation as a function of step time (Delta t) is also described.

The present work describes the development of a graphical environment to represent typical flight instruments on a computer screen. The instruments' behavior is displayed according to information regarding the aircraft's flight conditions. Some of the instruments represented in this work, such as the altimeter, the vertical speed indicator, the aircraft speed indicator, and the Mach indicator, use air pressure principles. The algorithms and routines developed for the screen display are created using the C++ programming language and compiled independently to be included as libraries to improve the software performance. The algorithms developed for this purpose also include the corresponding relationship between the physical variables, such as the speed and displacement, and the standard atmosphere to provide an equivalent value. These algorithms are successfully tested using data information to simulate three hypothetical flights, which are divided into maneuvers with the aircraft in a stopped position, running on the ground, taking off and flying away, including some changes in directions. Moreover, the routines for displaying the aircraft path with the instruments' animation are also successfully tested by comparison. Finally, an approach analysis as a function of the step time (Delta t) used for calculation of the aircraft displacement to evaluate the efficiency of the numerical method integrated in the simulator is also described. It is proved that the aircraft instrument representation is appropriate according to the input data of the analyzed flights, and an improvement in the calculation can be easily obtained, making it possible to represent any flight condition on the aircraft instruments.

The article describes the measurement of unidirectional pose accuracy and repeatability of a collaborative robot. The objective of the measurements is to investigate and evaluate unidirectional accuracy of the six-axis collaborative robot UR5 of the company Universal Robots. The measurement methodology was based on outlining an imaginary ISO cube placed in the robot's workspace, in which the robot's tool centre point (TCP) attained five measurement points in thirty measurement cycles. A video camera and six linear incremental sensors with six evaluation units were used for the measurement. The measured values are presented and applied according to the ISO 9283 standard. On the basis of the measurement, we verified technical specifications of unidirectional pose accuracy and repeatability of the robotic arm UR5 specified by its producer.
