In this paper we present a framework for the application of augmented reality to a mobile robot, using non-central camera systems. Considering a virtual object in the world with known local 3D coordinates, the goal is to project this object into the image of a non-central catadioptric imaging device. We propose a solution to this problem which allows us to project textured objects to the image in real-time (up to 20 fps): projection of 3D segments to the image;occlusions;and illumination. In addition, since we are considering that the imaging device is on a mobile robot, one needs to take into account the real-time localization of the robot. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that this problem is addressed (all state-of-the-art methods are derived for central camera systems). To evaluate the proposed framework we test the solution using a mobile robot and a non-central catadioptric camera (using a spherical mirror).

In this paper a model-based event-triggered control scheme for freeway traffic systems is proposed. The freeway network is a spatially distributed system in which sensors and actuators act on portions of the overall system. Measurements and control actions can be transmitted among the plant and the controllers via a shared communication network. For this reason the freeway network can be controlled relying on a design framework typical of Networked Control Systems. In the proposed control scheme the number of transmissions over the network is reduced by adopting local triggering conditions included in sensors, allowing transmissions from the sensors to the controller only when such conditions are verified. One of the novelties of this work stands in considering not only sensors able to measure the freeway traffic state but also sensors which measure the traffic demands, which can be regarded as disturbances affecting the system dynamics.

The performances of continuous-time controlled and discrete-time controlled bilateral teleoperation systems are mathematically and experimentally studied and compared. The results show that under stability conditions, continuous-time controlled teleoperation systems have hybrid matrix parameters that are closer to their ideal values than their discrete-time controlled counterparts. This means better force tracking and position tracking performance under continuous-time control, which can lead to better task performance.

Discretizing the continuous-time controller of a master-slave teleoperation system can simplify control implementation. However, in teleoperation systems, discrete-time control can cause a performance degradation compared to continuous-time control. In digitally controlled bilateral teleoperation systems, there exist stability-imposed bounds on the gains of the discrete-time controller and the sampling period, and a trade-off between the two. This means that given a sampling period, it is impossible for the discretized controller to have gains above a threshold, which may well be necessary for successful performance of teleoperated tasks requiring highly accurate master-slave position tracking. In a teleoperation system with analog controller, however, stability does not impose any upper bound on the control gains, thus facilitating the performance of tasks that do require highly accurate master-slave position tracking. Inspired by this advantage of analog control, in this paper we develop a Field Programmable Analog Arrays(FPAA) based controller for bilateral teleoperation, which can achieve higher control gain than its discrete-time counterpart. We present the results of a user study measuring the human performance for a task involving flipping a stiff switch through a teleoperation system. We experimentally show that large sampling periods, necessitating low control gains for maintaining stability, lead to unacceptable task performance. We then show that humans can successfully perform the same task with the FPAA-based controller for the teleoperation system.
In this paper, a novel multi-master/single-slave (MM/SS) teleoperated framework is proposed. The desired objectives for the MM/SS system are presented in such a way that both cooperative and training applications, e.g...

In this interactive demonstration we show the basics of Stochastic Computing (SC) using a remote reconfigurable logic laboratory. A very simple web based approach is used to enable a remote access to a development board hosting a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). The board switches and keys are virtualised with an online web form, and a webcam is used to provide feedback to the user. Recently, SC has been revisited and evaluated as a possible way of performing approximate probabilistic computations for artificial perception systems. Therefore, we provide the basic stochastic computing modules, so that any user can use them to build a stochastic computing circuit and go beyond software simulations, providing a remote hardware device to test real circuits at high clock speeds.
