Functionality and performance of modern machines are directly affected by the implementation of real-time control systems. Especially in networked teleoperation applications, force feedback control and networked control are two of the most important factors, which determine the performance of the whole system. In force feedback control, generally it is necessary but difficult and expensive to a...

Networked manufacturing is an advanced manufacturing pattern, born out of Internet technology and catering to an increasingly strong trend toward economic globalisation. In this paper the definition and basic features of networked manufacturing are presented, based on a review of state-of-the-art technology and an analysis of the requirements for enterprise collaboration. This paper will also g...

This paper studies a networked system identification problem, which aims at identifying mathematical models required in networked control/estimation/filtering systems. Specifically, we consider the off-line identification of open-loop stable linear time-invariant processes working in a networked environment. In the networked environment, how the actuators (D/A conversion) operate plays a key ro...

Telerobots, remotely controlled robots, are widely used to explore undersea terrains and outer space, to defuse bombs, and to clean up hazardous waste. Until 1994, telerobots were accessible only to trained and trusted experts through dedicated communication channels. This chapter describes networked telerobots, a new class of telerobots controllable over networks such as the Internet, that are...

Communication and control co-design for networked control system in optimal control in the paper. Under p – to – wσ communication sequence which sensors access communication medium and m – to – wρ communication sequence which actuators access communication medium, the plant of networked control system acts as a linear periodic time-varying system. Using lifting technology, a linear periodic tim...

The move to Internet news publishing is the latest in a series of technological shifts which have required journalists not merely to adapt their daily practice but which have also – at least in the view of some – recast their role in society. For over a decade, proponents of the networked society as a new way of life have argued that responsibility for news selection and production will shift f...

An intelligent space is a space constructed with many networked sensors. Humans and robots in the space are extracted and tracked cooperatively by the networked sensors. The intelligent space can achieve position-based supports to humans and robots according to integration of networked sensors. Generally, the networked sensors are distributed and fixed on the structures in the space such as wal...

Networked manufacturing is an advanced manufacturing technology, and efficient customer relationship management is critical for networked manufacturing’s resource allocation and scheduling. Evaluation of customer relationship management’s performance under networked manufacturing and effective optimization measures are preconditions for improving on CRM’s performance. Development process’s qual...

We report a novel approach for preparation of networked gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using reactive oxygen species (i.e., peroxymonocarbonate, HCO(4)(-)) as a novel reducing agent, along with nonionic fluorosurfactant (FSN) assistance. The formation mechanism of the networked AuNPs is demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM),...

We describe the Networked Physical World system, a combination of RFID technology and a ubiquitous computing system that integrates the physical world with the virtual world. The instrumentation of non-electronic devices, such as cans of soda and boxes of detergent, with inexpensive, low functionality computing devices enables the virtual world to sense and identify physical objects. The abilit...
