What we had was two IT (information technology) industries: the physical manufacturing industry produced the hardware, and the intellectual industry that produced the software. The current to change from the computation-function principle to the communications-function principle enables communication to efficiently use various transmission methods other than email and create new industries. This concept is called PUC (pervasive ubiquitous communications). \"Pervasive\" means the user does not feel he or she is using a tool. \"Ubiquitous\" means a communication tool that can be found and used anywhere. The PUC technological revolution means taking a step toward freeing humans from the constraints of the machine known as the computer. In the process of transitioning from PC's (personal computers) to PUCs, the separation between hardware and software, the original breakthrough concepts that led to personal computers, must also change. In the PUC concept, the optimization of software functions depends on hardware design, and the opposite is true as well. In other words, PUC means the integration, the fusion of hardware and software.","PeriodicalId":443174,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts, 2005.","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125676338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has brought about a lot of changes in the social arena and has revolutionized the way we communicate with each other. Internet based teleoperation systems utilize the ubiquitous connectivity and low cost bandwidth offered by the Internet to send commands and receive supermedia feedback for teleoperating remote systems. Teleoperation systems have many myriad applications and impact areas ranging from education and entertainment to remote exploration and medicine. Such wide ranging applications of Internet based teleoperation systems have many social implications and a profound impact on the day-to-day human lifestyle. This paper tries to elaborate on the many application areas of Internet based teleoperation and further discusses the social implications of the same. Further, the paper discusses various technical challenges and research issues related to Internet based teleoperation systems and provides a few experimental results on some teleoperation systems implemented at the Robotics and Automation Laboratory at Michigan State University and the Communication and Robotics Laboratory at Oakland University.","PeriodicalId":443174,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts, 2005.","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133692593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The flying robot is a highly nonlinear plant, it is a modified X-Cell 60 radio-controlled helicopter. Heading direction is controlled to evaluate efficiency of the proposed precompensation algorithm. The heading control is based on the conventional PID control combined with an online self-tuning precompensation so that both the desired transient and steady state responses can be achieved. The precompensation is applied to compensate unsatisfied performances of the conventional PID controller by adjusting reference command of the conventional PID controller. The precompensator is based on Takagi-Sugeno's type fuzzy model, which learns to tune itself online. The main contribution of the proposed controller is to enhance the controlled performance of the conventional PID controller by adding a self-tuning precompensator on the existing conventional PID controller. The results show that the conventional PID controller with an online self-tuning precompensation has a superior performance than the conventional PID controller. In addition, the online self-tuning precompensation algorithm is implemented simply by adding the precompensator to the existing conventional PID controller and letting the self-tuning mechanism tune itself online.","PeriodicalId":443174,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop on Advanced Robotics and its Social Impacts, 2005.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129413636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
