A new approach for industrial robot user interfaces is necessary due to the fact that small and medium sized enterprises are more interested in automation. The increasing number of robot applications in small volume production requires new techniques to ease the use of these sophisticated systems. In this paper shop floor operation is in the focus. A Flexible Graphical User Interface is presented which is based on cognitive infocommunication (CogInfoCom) and implements the Service Oriented Robot Operation concept. The definition of CogInfoCom icons is extended by the introduction of identification, interaction and feedback roles. The user interface is evaluated with experiments. Results show that a significant reduction in task execution time and a lower number of required interactions is achieved because of the intuitiveness of the system with human centered design.

This article presents the creation of GUI for the dead reckoning nonholonomic mobile robot and verifies the completion of designing a user-friendly GUI for controlling and operating, which will help the user to understand the positioning of the robot. The foremost concern is to design the GUI by using Visual Basic software. Moreover, software such as Solid Works and AutoCAD are also used to design 3D model of the robot.

The article presents the hardware and software architecture of the control of a mobile robot with anthropomorphic arm. The vehicle has an embedded system based in OS Linux, where is controlled all the functions of the vehicle using digital inputs and outputs, analog inputs and ports RS232. The architecture of the software in this system uses daemons; inter process communication (shared memory, FIFO arrays and semaphores) and an apache server to communicate with the remote control station. The remote station is a PC, where can be visualized three cameras, and to monitor and control all function of the robot with a gamepad or joystick. The architecture has been tested obtaining good results. It also presents a really good flexibility to integrate with different remote control stations in multiple platforms with security and standard protocols.

This work presents an improved Proportional-Derivative (PD) scheme for speed control in two-wheeled differential steering mobile robots (TWDSMRs). In contrast with the conventional PD scheme, this work incorporates individual PD controllers tailored for each of the two drive motors of the mobile robot. This arrangement handles robot dynamics effectively without actually using the complex dynamic model. The proposed scheme uses a kinematic model of the mobile robot for designing a speed controller. An in-house developed TWDSMR assesses the effectiveness of the proposed method. A tuning experiment gives the optimized values of proportional and derivative gains for the individual motor PD controller. Though implemented on a simple kinematic model, the proposed scheme shows a low overshoot of 14%, a quick response time of 0.15 s and fast convergence time of 0.9 s compared to the controllers based on dynamic and mixed models reported in the literature.

Nowadays, technological developments interactions in general, couldn't be separated from the rapid development of computer technology and human interaction. So that, supporting the user to be able to develop various models of interactions, especially the interactions between humans and robots. This study proposes a model of design and manufacture of human and robot interaction, in the form of a visual display on a computer controlling the robot motion. Object interaction in this study is using 4WD Smart Car Robot. Some of the tools used to build a robot control system at the time of interaction, including Netbeans IDE, based on JAVA and Arduino. The control algorithm is applied to build an optimal control system to model an interaction between humans and robots. Model of human interaction and robot is fully carried by the user in control of robot motion. The proposed interaction model can be implemented in real terms, in designing and making a model of human interaction and robot.
