This paper shows how Matlab / simulink can simulate a toy train system and then control it with the PID control algorithm. To this end, an executable model has been implemented which allows for train movement simulation, this means that the engine first went forward, then backward.

The purpose of the experiment is to explore a way to integrate the Elvis Alive humanoid platform (developed by WowWee), the proximity sensor and the touch sensor, in order to implement a reactive-affective system with an advanced evolution. More precisely, it was desired that when approaching a human subject at a short distance (his hand detected by the proximity sensor), the humanoid structure to react with a state of surprise, which will consist of: raising eyebrows, raising eyelids, raising the head, moving the eyes left and right and positioning the mouth slightly ajar. Then, the collaboration protocol will consist of a voice interaction (via a mobile phone) between the human operator and the humanoid structure. As a result of the interaction, the humanoid structure will come to realize the following emotional states: joy, sadness, surprise and neutral.

We mean to realize three applications: creating a speech sequence using the Kiosk menu of the browser interface, creating a program in the Virtual Robot browser interface and making a new guise to be loaded into the robot's memory in order to be projected onto it face. The first application is actually created in the Compose submenu that contains 5 file categories: audio, eyes, face, head, mood, this being helpful in the creation of the projected sequence. The second application is more complex, the completed program containing: audio files, speeches (can be created in over 20 languages), head movements, the robot's facial parameters function of each action units (AUs) of the facial muscles, its expressions and its line of sight. Last application aims to change the robot's appearance with the guise created by us. The guise was created in Adobe Photoshop and then loaded into the robot's memory.

Equations representing the dynamics and kinematics of the robot are derived. In addition, the motors and wheels are represented in the model. The development of a multi rate simulation is described. Data from an IMU attached to the robot enables validation of the model using analogue matching and integral least squares. The result of the validation is that the model is a suitable representation of the robot. A method of controlling the robot is developed, using PID controllers and a Line Of Sight Autopilot.

The multiple aspects of IoT, and the increasingly large number of devices, technologies and platforms in the field, led to the development of IoT technology in many areas. The Internet of Things is a technology that will allow the entry into a new economic era for the entire globe. IoT is a concept that defines a world where all the objects (cars, appliances, lighting systems, mobile devices, portable devices etc.) are connected to each other via the Internet. In this paper, there are presented the most important characteristics and major applications of IoT, and the technological challenges that the Internet of Things is facing. IoT is not the result of a single new technology, several complementary technical advances provide capabilities that, together, help to bridge the gap between the virtual world and the physical one. These capabilities support the IoT and the prosp...
