Laboratories are a core part of any engineering degree, but access to laboratories is typically limited due to a combination of timetable, space and equipment restrictions [1]. In more recent years that has been a significant growth in so-called virtual laboratories (VL), that is laboratory like activities that can be accessed via software or even a web interface, e.g. [2], [3], [5]. The advantage of VL is that the accessibility can potentially be improved to 24/7 and often these may be available on a student's own computing device thus also giving no space restrictions. Improvements in accessibility mean that staff can integrate VL far more easily into the curriculum and student independent study schedule with the consequence that, in principle, students can learn more effectively.

Machine and reinforcement learning (RL) are increasingly being applied to plan and control the behavior of autonomous systems interacting with the physical world. Examples include self-driving vehicles, distributed sensor networks, and agile robots. However, when machine learning is to be applied in these new settings, the algorithms had better come with the same type of reliability, robustness, and safety bounds that are hallmarks of control theory, or failures could be catastrophic. Thus, as learning algorithms are increasingly and more aggressively deployed in safety critical settings, it is imperative that control theorists join the conversation. The goal of this tutorial paper is to provide a starting point for control theorists wishing to work on learning related problems, by covering recent advances bridging learning and control theory, and by placing these results within an appropriate historical context of system identification and adaptive control.

The central aim of this research is to propose a solution to rehabilitate historic places using a robotic manipulator. In this pursuit, the objective is to clean flat or curved surfaces of mihrab/muqarnas and to write lost Arabic inscriptions on spandrel using 7 Degree of freedom (DOF) robotic manipulator. Inverse kinematics solution for 7 DOF is derived by fixing redundant joint and solving the remaining 6 DOF inverse kinematics. Image processing techniques are used to get data from the given image for the robotic calligraphy operation on the spandrel to restore the lost inscriptions. Path planning exercise is implemented to navigate the end-effector on the desired path to write lost inscriptions and to clean curved surfaces of muqarnas. Proposed solutions are verified by simulation using MATLAB. The results showed that the manipulator successfully tracked the given path to perform the desired operation in mihrab as well as calligraphy operation on spandrel.

Nowadays, wireless sensor networks (WSN) are widely used for various Internet of Things applications. The sensor nodes are usually deployed randomly in the field. Thus, searching for node coordinates is one of the requirements to construct the network structure. With knowing distances between nodes and the coordinates of anchor nodes in a certain network fragment, we propose a method based on the multidimensional scaling for searching for desired node coordinates.
