An Emergency Response (ER) Cyber-Physical System (CPS) to avoid landslides and survey areas located on or near slopes is introduced that handles two problems: electronic waste disposal, and environmental disasters. Uncomplicated detection circuits using salvaged components can pinpoint floods in impoverished regions. CPSs simplify hazard prediction and mitigation in disaster supervision. Nonetheless, few green practices and efforts have been accomplished in this regard. Recent technical advances help landslides studies and the evaluation of suitable risk alleviation measures. This work addresses in situ meters, and cameras to observe ground movements more accurately. The ER-CPS identifies and can help mitigate landslides using techniques based on motion detection that can productively predict and monitor the zone conditions to classify it, and the landslide-related data can be transmitted to inspecting stations to lessen the erosion/sedimentation likelihood while increasing security.

The report focuses on the design and demonstration of an anthropomorphic robotic arm with seven degrees of freedom using readily available low-cost components to perform different real time human hand applications. The robotic arm consists of a shoulder, elbow, wrist and a five-finger gripper. It can perform different gripping actions, such as lateral, spherical, cylindrical and tip-holding gripping actions; each finger has three movable links. The actuator used for the robotic arm is a high torque dc servo motor and the five-finger gripper consists of five cables placed like tendons in the human arm. Implementation is done using a human hand glove which senses the motion from sensor technology to produce a proportional analog voltage, digitized via the microcontroller Atmel ATmega32. The microcontroller then through the processed signal controls the mechanical structure that is the robotic arm.

Lower Body Exoskeleton is nothing but chairless chair used in Industries. The people who are working in Industry can wear it on legs like Exoskeleton. It is a mechanical ergonomics device that is designed according to the shape and function of the human body. It is not a chair but it acts like a chair. The concept of this chairless chair is when it activates you can walk. And then if it is inactive, it locks into place from an angle of 900, 1200 and 1500 and you can sit down on it. It is mainly used for industrial workers, standing for a long period of time leads to discomfort and reduce productivity. So Design and Analysis is an important parameter to know the forces induced in each element and actuators.

El presente artículo muestra los resultados de un proyecto desarrollado en el grupo de investigación en Informática, Electrónica y Comunicaciones (INFELCOM) de la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia (UPTC). El objetivo fue desarrollar un software que, acoplado al hardware propio de la estación terrena, ubicada en la UPTC de la ciudad de Tunja (Bo-yacá, Colombia) y a un software de predicción de órbita [1] desarrollado por INFELCOM, controle en forma automática el posicionamiento de las antenas de dicha estación. Para el control de posicionamiento se emplearon las técnicas de Inteligencia Artificial (IA), algoritmos genéticos de selección y algoritmos de enfriamiento simulado.

In this paper we investigate the use of a linear
ratiometric Hall sensor as a non-contact position transducer to
measure small displacement of a ferrofluid magnetic actuator.
The experimental setup requires a small permanent magnetic
disc attached to the actuator’s rod and a fixed mounted Hall
Effect sensor in the proximity of the magnet. Analog data from
the sensor is acquired through an Arduino board, which is an
open source electronics platform, converted to distance after a
calibration method through a lookup table and plotted through
dedicated graphics software. The setup allows to measure with a
precision to 0.1 mm the position of the actuator’s rod and to plot
the static characteristic of the displacement for a range up to
±5mm.

ActiveCube is a novel user interface that allows intuitive interaction with computers. ActiveCube allows users to construct and interact with three-dimensional (3D) environments using physical cubes equipped with input/output devices. Spatial, temporal, and functional consistency is always maintained between the physical object and its corresponding representation in the computer. In this article we detail the design and implementation of our system. We describe the method we used to realize flexible 3D modeling by controlling the recognition signals of each face in each cube. We also explain how we integrated additional multimodal interaction options via a number of sophisticated I/O devices and the inclusion of a second microprocessor in our cubes. We argue that ActiveCube, with its current real-time multimodal and spatial capabilities, is ready to enable a large range of interactive entertainment applications that were impossible to realize before.

In this paper, we propose a method for a line follower robot based on the instantaneous computation of the radius of curvature of this line, using infrared line sensors. The number and layout of its sensors, as well as the method chosen, play an important role in the robot's response to the line, with the desired accuracy and speed. In addition, the robot must be equipped with an anti-collision system, using an ultrasonic distance sensor, to detect and avoid obstacles in several situations, especially at line crossovers, when other robots share a common complex line.

We would like to invite you to join this exciting new project as a chapter contributor on one of the topics listed below. Since this is a textbook, a great deal of this chapter entails a survey on the topic under the paradigm of cyber-physical systems, what can be done onboard and remotely, the distributed nature of the system and some exercises on futurology (anticipating trends can shed some light on upcoming designs). IET will bring great visibility to your work. Each chapter should be around 20-25 pages each and can be submitted as a Word or Latex File. The IET will send you additional info (formatting, permission form, etc.) with the contributor's agreement once you have decided to contribute to the book. Visit http://www.theiet.org/resources/author-hub/books/index.cfm to get all contributor's information to an IET research-level book. Each book is expected to have a total number of 500 printed pages (with approximately 550 words per page and a 20% allowance for figures and tables). We have included a tentative schedule and list of topics below. If this is something you would consider, please send us the title of your chapter, a short description/abstract of the chapter content, and your full contact details. We will expect original content and new insights for this book. You can, of course, reuse published material but the percentage of material reuse for the chapter should be less than 40%. The IET will run a piracy software on the full manuscript to control that you are including original material and will reject chapters who contain a large amount of already-published material so please do take this into consideration. We would appreciate your feedback by December 31, 2017. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries. We look forward to working with you towards the successful publication.
