Full text

Abstract:

AbstractIn a considerable number of the military texts of ancient China the success of any manoeuvre demands adaptation to constantly changing circumstances and anticipation of the enemy's moves. Hence, idealized descriptions of the figures of the commander and the sage frequently overlap. In both cases, these are individuals who are able to move forward in time and predict the nature of events before they take definitive form. However, these skills of prognostication are the result of attentive scrutiny of the most inconspicuous aspects of reality. By analyzing military episodes and biographical material referring to some of the strategists of the time, this article attempts to demonstrate that the military commander can be seen as a master of signs and that, accordingly, the art of warfare can also be represented as requiring semiotic aptitudes and techniques which enable accurate interpretation of hints that will determine the outcome of the battle.

Abstract Several scholars have studied Pietro del Monte’s works, but only a few have focused on his military career. This article contextualises his career as a condotierre, primarily by collecting and commenting on narrative sources describing his life. From the Italian and Spanish courts where he mingled with the brightest minds of his time, to the Italian Wars where he met his death on the battlefield, Monte lived as an acting commander, a respected scholar, and a renowned master at arms.

Abstract:

“The Caucasus may be likened to a mighty fortress, marvelously strong by nature, artificially protected by military works, and defended by a numerous garrison.” This oft-quoted line was written by General A.A. Veliaminov in 1828 in a memoir which advocated the use of powerful military force to subdue the tribes of the north Caucasus. To take this fortress, a wise commander must “lay his parallels; advance by gap and mine and so master the place.” The extension of a fortified line further and further towards the mountains, using it as a base for attacks, was essential to Veliaminov's strategy of conquest.

Abstract:

Abstract Tannenberg is still the cipher for a mythical memory space that interweaves German, Polish, Lithuanian and Russian sites of memory to each other, their temporal and political contexts, however, goes beyond. For the battle of 1914, the master narrative still follows the detailed descriptions of the Kriegsarchiv from the interwar period. These want to have found the key to success in the exemplary use of the geographic area by German generalship. Nevertheless, this battle has multidimensional perceptions, of the factual meaning of the space up to the imaginary. It is also an example of how clearly the topography of an area can determine the military capabilities, such as the importance of personal and mental connections to the competitive space. After the military occupation of East Prussia terrain the victorious commander Hindenburg conquered even the site of memory - with the Reichsehrenmal quite vividly. In the overall analysis of the Battle of Tannenberg therefore the access of the different concepts and dimensions of the room proves as purposeful and productive.

Abstract:

The NF-κB signaling pathway is a master and commander in ovarian cancer (OC) that promotes chemoresistance, cancer stem cell maintenance, metastasis and immune evasion. Many signaling pathways are dysregulated in OC and can activate NF-κB signaling through canonical or non-canonical pathways which have both overlapping and distinct roles in tumor progression. The activation of canonical NF-κB signaling has been well established for anti-apoptotic and immunomodulatory functions in response to the tumor microenvironment and the non-canonical pathway in cancer stem cell maintenance and tumor re-initiation. NF-κB activity in OC cells helps to create an immune-evasive environment and to attract infiltrating immune cells with tumor-promoting phenotypes, which in turn, drive constitutive NF-κB activation in OC cells to promote cell survival and metastasis. For these reasons, NF-κB is an attractive target in OC, but current strategies are limited and broad inhibition of this major signaling pathway in normal physiological and immunological functions may produce unwanted side effects. There are some promising pre-clinical outcomes from developing research to target and inhibit NF-κB only in the tumor-reinitiating cancer cell population of OC and concurrently activate canonical NF-κB signaling in immune cells to promote anti-tumor immunity.

Abstract:

The location of infirmaries in Teutonic Order castles topography in late Medieval Prussia In the primary Rule of the Teutonic Order, written in the middle of the 13th century, maintaining hospitals by the organisation is in its content, yet the generality of the normative provisions contained in that source bears a number of questions which are difficult to answer in a satisfactory way. From the main paragraphs referring to that issue it is impossible to conclude whether those hospitals/infirmaries were intended for secular persons or the brother friars of the Order. Detailed regulations on the subject were additionally provided in Statutes written around the same time. In accordance with those provisions, if a friar knight fell ill, then he should stay in bed for a few days. In case of prolongation of this state, he was to be moved to a common chamber for the sick – the infirmary. Only the Grand Master and his deputy had the right to be treated in their own chambers. However, it must be remembered that those regulations were formulated mostly in reference to the main convent of the Teutonic Order in the Holy Land. This institution was subordinate to the Great Commander and it was him who provided for medical care and medicines for the sick through his appointed subordinate official (“firmariemeister”). From the 13th century normative sources it cannot be concluded where the infirmaries were supposed to be located in the castle grounds. What does this issue look like in reference to the state of the Teutonic Order in Prussia in the 14th and 15th centuries? Unfortunately, in the current literature of the subject it has been attempted to identify the locations of castle infirmaries exclusively on the basis of architectural data of preserved commander castles (still enerally sparse). Meanwhile, the problem is that limiting only to that sort of sources when examining the issue does not provide any evidential basis to indicate the location of infirmaries in the spatial configuration of the Teutonic strongholds. Only the analysis of written sources of the époque (starting with the end of the 14th century) allows to state that nearly all infirmaries of commander castles of the time in Prussia intended both for the members of the Teutonic Order (brothers, priests) and secular servants‑dieners were locate within the bailey. Sparse exceptions from that rule would only apply to the capital castle in Malbork, where one of the infirmaries might have been located in the area of the proper convent of the high castle and to the one in Konigsberg, where the infirmary for servant‑dieners of the Order was located outside the defensive walls of the bailey.

In teleoperation tasks, communication delays between master and slave sides negatively affect the stability and transparency of closed loop system, and make it difficult to maintain a desired contact force. In order to improve the performance of contact force control in teleoperation under large time delays, a shared compliant control method is proposed in this paper. On the master side, the operator issues a desired contact force command according to the feedback of the contact stiffness identified on line besides motion commands. And on the slave side, a local contact force controller is designed using an adaptive Smith predictor, so as to shares control load with the operator. Experimental results show that this method can improve the force control performance, lower the difficulty of operation, and help the operator complete contact tasks with proper forces.In teleoperation tasks, communication delays between master and slave sides negatively affect the stability and transparency of closed loop system, and make it difficult to maintain a desired contact force.

Abstract:

In the collection of the Museum of the Noble Tradition in Waplewo, a branch of the National Museum in Gdańsk, there is an icon of St Mitrofan (Russ. Митрофан; Greek Μητροφάνης), Bishop of Voronezh (1632–1703), of Russian provenance, a quite exotic work in the artistic landscape of Gdansk Pomerania. Images of Saint Mitrofan of Voronezh spread in the first half of the 19th century, undoubtedly in connection with his canonization in 1832. His connection with this event is indicated by the date of the goldsmith’s stamp ‘1835’ under the hallmark ‘НޞД’ (Nikolai Lukič Dubrovin, d. 1862), a Moscow sampling master active in 1822–1855. The contractor was ‘A T’ (Afanasij Tikhonov), a Moscow goldsmith active in 1820–1839. It was marked in Moscow (stamp of St George piercing the dragon), silver test: ‘84’. Mitrofan belonged to a group of monks devoted to a harsh life in isolation, ‘holy elders’ whose lives and instructions were to strengthen the faith of laymen and clergy through asceticism, prayer, fasting, and penance. The icon of St Mitrofan preserved in Waplewo is one of the unique and very early testimonies to the newly canonized monk depicted without a nimbus in the icon. The clergy costume indicates the highest third level of the life of the monk, so - -called the great schimnik, so in an extremely ascetic version, without any signs of episcopal dignity, in which even the cross hung on his neck was obscured by a gesture of his hands folded in prayer. From the information recorded on the back of the icon, corrected on the basis of the oral tradition, it follows that the icon had successively been in possession of the representatives (essentially women) of five generations of Polish families: Branicki, Potocki, and then Ogończyk -Sierakowski, the owners of the Waplewo residence from 1759 to 1933. However, the first owner of the icon seems to have been Aleksandra Wasiliewna Engelhardt (1754–1838), wife of Franciszek Ksawery Branicki (1730–1819), Hetman (Commander) of the Great Crown, and the alleged daughter of tsarina Catherine II, who probably gave it to her daughter Zofia.

Abstract:

This paper introduces a master-slave control method of teleoperating a redundant manipulator with double handles. The master handles send motion commands in the form of increments. The mapping module transforms the commands into homogeneous matrices. And the slave manipulator links discrete motion commands in the mode of PVAT automatically, by inverse kinematics and fifth-order polynomial interpolation. Simulations and experiments are taken to prove the effectiveness of the control method in the paper.

Abstract:

Master-slave robotic technology demonstrates a distinct model of communication that allows one device or user to have unidirectional control over one or more devices. The master refers to the user or device that initiates and controls the transmission, while the slave is the unit that receives these commands and acts accordingly. The direction of control always flows from the master to the slave. This technology has found a plethora of applications in a variety of fields such as engineering, information technology as well as hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Robotic technology has become an integral part of medical applications involving telesurgery (remote surgery) owing to the profound advantages it can offer to both surgeons and patience. Not only is surgery in previously-inoperable conditions now possible through this technology, but robotics also offer additional advantages in the training of medical professionals. In laparoscopic surgery, a high level of accuracy and control are required due to the complex nature and small scale of the area involved. Here, robotically-assisted surgery is performed by the surgeon using master-slave remotely-controlled manipulators or integrating locally-operated small surgical robots in a sterilised area. However, the fundamental problem associated with this master-slave system is that the master and the slave cannot be separated and exchanged with a master or a slave of another system. Performance of the robotic systems during these operations often come across limitations due to the inability of a slave robot to match the pace and performance of the master or the need for different tools during surgery, forcing a requirement for separate master-slave pairs. This creates an inefficiency in the system that Professor Ken Masamune from the Institute of Advance Biomedical Engineering and Science at the Tokyo Women’s Medical University seeks to address. By introducing a middleware that will connect these various masters and slaves, Masamune and his team seek to allow optimal communication and evaluation between robotic units. By separating the master from the slave and using middleware to allow communication between modules, the architecture being developed by Masamune, together with a group of collaborators, provides a quick evaluation of the master-slave combination and enables a far more efficient development and use of telesurgical robots.

Full text

Abstract:

The article is focused on the problem dealing with the methodology- and speech-oriented training of the future Master students majoring in Pre-school Education. The essence of the notion “methodological work of the educator-methodologist at a preschool institution” has been revealed; it requires, on the one hand, an excellent command of the normative literary Ukrainian language, the knowledge of the speech etiquette formulas, the culture of professional speech communication; on the other hand, ‒ the ability to provide necessary methodological assistance to the educators in implementing the content line of the Basic Component of Preschool Education (the BCPE) “Child’s Speech”, in particular, in developing various types of children’s speech and communicative competencies. The methodology as an independent science is considered in the aggregate of interconnected means, forms, methods and techniques for achieving the set educational goal. At the same time, the notion “methodology” is ambiguous; in the pedagogical science, there is a variety of phenomena: “teaching techniques”, “education methods”, “teaching methods”. The study deals with the “Methodology aimed at developing children’s speech and teaching preschool children their mother tongue” as a discipline within the curriculum of the Bachelor courses. The course “Ukrainian Preschool Linguodidactics” is taught to the Master course students: the theory of the methodology aimed at speech development, the development of speech, artistic speech and communicative-speech activities. The phenomenon “methodology- and speech-oriented training of the future masters majoring in Preschool Education” is defined as a motivational positive predisposition to master the norms of the Ukrainian language in perfection demonstrated by the future masters; the acquisition of the content and teaching methods of the discipline “Methodology aimed at developing children’s speech and teaching preschool children their mother tongue at pre-school institutions” by the undergraduate students (Bachelor courses students); the positive emotional and value-centred attitude to the implementation of the evaluative controlling educational and speech activities of children and educators in the process of methodological work at pre-school institutions, which allows providing educators with, on the one hand, methodological assistance and support, on the other hand, ‒ guarantees the efficiency of children’s speech development. The motivational orientation-targeted, cognitive-innovative, methodologically accompanying, reflexive and appraisal components comprise this training. The methodology- and speech-oriented training of the future masters majoring in Pre-school Education performs these functions: prognostic, stimulating, correctional, value-oriented, emotional. Keywords: masters, pre-school education, methods, orientation, educator-methodologist, Ukrainian Preschool Linguodidactics, speech development, education.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTCaptain William Adams (1837–1890) was one of the exceptional whaling masters who sailed from Dundee in Scotland. This paper uses primary sources to confirm his reputation not only as a whaler but also as an adventurous explorer and wealthy businessman. He became outstandingly successful with Alexander Stephen & Sons, the Dundee shipping company that pioneered the use of auxiliary powered vessels for use in sealing in Labrador and fishing for whales in the Davis Strait and beyond. His first command was the Arctic in 1868, and his reputation was such that he was chosen by Albert Hastings Markham as his mentor in gaining experience for polar exploration. The unfortunate loss of the Arctic in Regent Sound in 1875 did no damage to this reputation and Adams was made Master of the newly built flagship of the company's fleet, the Arctic II. In 1883, by then a rich man, Adams became his own Master with the purchase of the Maud. In 1890, the vessel was returning to Dundee from Arctic waters when Captain Adams, who was accompanied by his son also William Adams (1869–1942) acting as Mate, was taken fatally ill, dying at Thurso in Caithness.

Abstract:

At least for Jewish audiences, the meaning of the parable of the undeserving servant (Luke 17.7–10) is clear enough: slaves can claim no credit for doing what they have been ‘commanded’ (the redoubled τα διαταχθεντα of vv. 9–10). Both the passive voice and parallels from Jewish literature indicate that ‘Master’ and ‘slave’ are ciphers for God and the pious. Mishnah 'Abot 1.3, for example, is widely cited: ‘Do not be like slaves who serve the Master for the sake of reward, but be as slaves who serve the Master other than for reward, and let the fear of Heaven be upon you.’ J. D. M. Derrett has adduced a wealth of material documenting master–slave relations in Judaism as they relate to the circumstances depicted in the text.

Abstract:

Oles Honchar, who is a classic of Ukrainian literature, has created a well-known novel “The Alps” (the first part of the “The Standard Bearers” trilogy). There, we discover about how soldiers and officers (many Ukrainians are among them) of the Second Ukrainian Front passed their way through Romania from spring to autumn of 1944. Due to this, we see many Romanian realities, starting with historical-political ones and ending with locally linguistic ones, the research and explanation of which have become the purpose of this article. The author of the novel was well aware of the military-political realities of the epoch. Those realities were ongoing battle for the Romanian city of Târgu Frumos and The Jassy-Kishinev Operation (August 1944). He also knew about Rodion Malinovskyi (who was its participant and commander of the Second Ukrainian Front) and the August uprising in Bucharest in 1944. The realities also included the overthrow of the dictatorship of Antonescu by the patriotic Romanian forces led by Romanian king Michael I and a common struggle between Red and Romanian armies for the liberation of Northern Transylvania from the Hungarian occupation (Hungarian occupation was one of the Second Vienna Award conditions). The interpretations of some of the military-political realities of that time have not undergone any significant changes in the novel (The Jassy-Kishinev Operation, the Northern Transylvania liberation). At the same time, the other interpretations have negative references about the Romanian king Michael I and his so-called “collaboration”, although he learned about Romania’s entry into the war against the USSR and the Anti-Hitler-Koalition from the BBC radio message. In the novel, loanwords from Romanian language are appropriately used. Among them, we should point out “nu știu” (“I do not know”), “nu ști rusește” “Not to know Russian”, “nu-i bun război” (“War is a bad thing”), Moldavian dialect “boon diva” (“good day”) and some other words of Romanian origin. The novel states that the Red Army staff officer interrogated Romanian captives with a Moldovian translator, which inadvertently testifies to Oles Honchar’s recognition of the identity of Romanian and so-called “Moldovian” languages, which was denied for political reasons in Soviet times. On one hand, the article points out that Oles Honchar, as a distinguished master of the artistic word, successfully reproduced Romanian historical-military and locally linguistic realities of 1944. On the other hand, it tells that he was forced to follow the Soviet officialdom of that time when it was about the “bourgeois Romania” describing. He was told to demonize Antonescu, although Oles noted the reluctance of Romanians to fight under Stalingrad and the Caucasus on the side of Germany in 1942-1943. The article also tells that the novel was translated into Romanian with the name “Stegarii” (“Standard Bearers”).

Abstract:

The author refers in the article to such an important aspect of the major turnaround in the East Front of the Second World War as mastering the combat experience of contemporary warfare, based on the memoirs of German and Soviet military commanders. The author concludes that if, at the initial stage, Germany’s sudden attack on the USSR and the use of a large mass of tanks and aircraft in combat led the Wehrmacht to success, by the end of 1941, the Red Army’s victory near Moscow had defi ned a turnaround in the war. The Red Army endured the worst challenges of the initial stage and began to master the methods of conducting contemporary war by Soviet military commanders. Of those commanders who advanced in the future, there were those military commanders who asserted themselves in the battles of Moscow and Stalingrad. Contemporary war required them to master the experience of guiding a large mass of equipment – tanks, aircraft – in accordance with the potential embedded in them. The formation of tank, aviation divisions, corps, armies laid the material foundation for the major turnaround in the war. The ability to anticipate the actions of the enemy and make decisions unexpected to it had become an essential component of the commanders’ experience. The experience of coordinating the actions of different fronts and branches of troops, the formation of armies possessing the latest ammunition, the proper provision with arms and other materials became the guarantee of victory around Stalingrad and Kursk, the liberation of the Ukraine on the left bank of the Dnieper and of Donbass, that is, the victories considered to be the major turnaround in the Second World War.

Abstract:

In response to a number of difficulties many beginners exhibit in trying to master a programming language such as BASIC or LOGO, a “metacourse” was developed to be integrated into a teacher's normal course materials as an enriching “vitamin shot.” The metacourse in BASIC consists of mental models, problem-solving strategies, key concepts, and other structures that may help students to understand more deeply and wield more artfully the knowledge they are acquiring during their regular instruction in BASIC. Highly encouraging results, in terms of increased mastery of BASIC, were found in two large scale empirical studies conducted in a number of high school BASIC programming classes. Metacourse classes exhibited improved performance on a variety of BASIC programming tasks, ranging from comprehension of simple commands to debugging and production of small programs. This same pattern was observed with interventions which offered teachers considerable support (Study 1), or the minimal support more typical of “normal” classroom conditions (Study 2).

Abstract:

f the ratio of NPC/H and H bridge hybrid multilevel converters DC supply voltage changed, the output voltage PWM waveform will be discontinuous. Thus an improved topology and control strategy is proposed. In new method, master converter operates at the fundamental frequency based on command voltage, slave converter adopts carrier phase shifted PWM technology (CPS-SPWM) at a higher frequency to enhance the quality of output voltage waveform. The amplitude of command voltage is higher than output voltage amplitude of the master converter at any time, to ensure that output voltage variation of both converters keeps in the same direction without any current flow backwards. Matlab simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy and topology.

Abstract:

Operational reporting from the Middle East indicates that the exercise by warships of a right of visit on the high seas, in order to verify the flag of the boarded vessel, is an important part of contemporary maritime enforcement operations. However, this reliance on ‘flag verification boardings,’ pursuant to Article 110 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982, challenges the proper balance of law enforcement authority against the traditional freedom of navigation. It is therefore necessary to establish clearly for both civilian masters and warship commanders where the evidentiary threshold for reasonable doubt as to the nationality of vessels lies, so as to justify non-consensual visit and search by a foreign warship. This article makes an objective, evidence-based assessment of the threshold, concluding with a caution against over-stretching the right of visit to accommodate law enforcement purposes not envisaged in the drafting of Article 110.

Abstract:

This paper presents a method for redundancy resolution of an industrial manipulator in a teleoperated force control task. A seven degree-of-freedom (DOF) industrial manipulator manufactured by the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. is used for experiments. The task involves obeying a force command sent from a remote computer while autonomously adapting the posture to avoid unexpected obstacles moving toward the manipulator. Redundancy resolution is employed for autonomous adaptation of the configuration to avoid the obstacle while continuing the force control task. This self-adaptive skill on the slave manipulator side is very important because teleoperation is often performed in dangerous or partially unknown environments where unexpected changes such as moving obstacles can well be expected. In such situations, the control ability of the master side is very limited due to the practical limitations of vision sensors to capture a comprehensive view of the environment and the limitations of the degrees of freedom on the master manipulator. The proposed method relies on two modules of an intelligent controller on the slave side. The first is an on-line fuzzy neural network (FNN) for intelligent force control, and the second is a configuration controller that works in harmony with the first to exploit redundancy to react to avoid moving obstacles such that the latter does not inhibit the progress of the former. The second controller generates joint velocity commands in null space of the hand Jacobian, so that its activation does not affect the force controller. Here we show that the proposed method can skillfully avoid a moving obstacle without stopping the force control task. This skillful adaptation ability can significantly improve the efficiency and safety of teleoperated force control tasks with less burden on the master side. This paper presents some promising experimental results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Casualty response must be a team effort if it is to be successful. Equally, the hard decisions must be taken by the Salvage Master at the scene. This paper considers the ways in which the objectives of integrated response and efficient command decision making can be achieved in a spill situation. The paper reviews the role of the Salvage Master, salvage strategies that aim to keep the pollutant in the ship, the integration of command and control functions in the light of the Salvage Master's central position, the questions surrounding responder liability, new developments in salvage contracts, and the role of the P&I Club in relation to the salvage function. The paper explores these issues by reviewing a series of major salvage cases, including the Sea Empress, Nassia, and Nakhodka. The case studies provide an overview of each operation, consider the command and control issues and set out the lessons for the handling of future operations.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT On September 24, 1998, the T/V Command had a small spill in San Francisco Bay, California while taking on bunkers in Anchorage Nine. The cause was determined to be due to a small crack in the outer hull plating of the tank. The T/V Command departed on the evening of September 26 after completing temporary repairs required by the Captain of the Port (COTP)/Federal On-Scene Coordinator (FOSC). The next morning, a large 10-mile by 2-mile oil slick was discovered just south of the entrance to San Francisco Bay. This triggered one of the largest, most far-reaching oil spill investigations ever. Since no one took responsibility for this spill, the U.S. Coast Guard accessed the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) and established a Unified Command with the state of California Department of Fish and Game, Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) to begin immediate cleanup. The Coast Guard and OSPR also began an aggressive joint investigation to track down the spiller. Hundreds of vessels had entered or departed San Francisco Bay during the 5-day window before the spill was discovered. The investigators were able to narrow the search and sample vessels. The Coast Guard Marine Safety Lab (MSL) and OSPR's lab were able to match the spilled oil to the T/V Command,. The Coast Guard tracked down the location of the T/V Command and began the first ever request for high seas boarding of a vessel for an environmental crime. A Coast Guard team from the USCGC Boutwell boarded the T/V Command 200 miles off Guatemala to begin the investigation. A follow-on multiagency team of investigators, led by the Coast Guard again, boarded the vessel in Panama. In a plea bargain agreement, the T/V Command's operator, master, and chief engineer pled guilty in federal court to criminal charges stemming from the spill on September 27, 1998, remarkably 1 year from the date of the original spill. The operator agreed to pay over $9.4 million dollars in criminal and civil penalties. This paper and presentation discusses the complexities of this international spill response investigation and events leading up to the settlement.

Abstract:

The military order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem had a Treasurer from the time of its early years in the mid-twelfth century; by 1268 he was employing two scribes at the Convent, the order's headquarters in Syria. A statute of 1283 provided for a monthly computum or audit to be held by the Master and a group of senior brethren. Fr Joseph Chauncey, who was Treasurer for some twentyfive years, was so competent that Edward I made him Treasurer of England in 1273. At Rhodes during the fourteenth century the Treasury apparently kept no budget showing the overall state of the Hospital's finances, though by about 1478 there was a lengthy list of the incomes of the Western priories and commanderies, of receipts from Rhodes and Cyprus, and of the Convent's expenses in the East. The dues or responsiones from the rich Commandery of Cyprus were received by the Treasurer at Rhodes and the Master issued a quittance for them. The Master had separate incomes of his own, and by 1365 these were being managed by the Seneschal of his household; the Master gave a receipt for them.

Abstract:

This paper presents an approach to the implementation of sensory feedback in a robotic telemanipulation system. The system considered here consists of kinematically similar master-slave robotic manipulators. We propose a control scheme whereby the slave tracks the motion commanded by the human operator through the master mechanism. The scheme also accommodates, in a unified manner, different sources of sensory feedback. These include combined effects of the interaction with unknown environments and changes in structural properties of the slave manipulator due to additional unknown loads. The control algorithm is based on continuously sliding variable structure control, which is a nonlinear and highly robust control scheme. Due to the robustness of the scheme, the need for a priori information about the environment and the load is minimal. This information can be passed on to the system in the form of upper bounds of the interaction forces and additional loads. Experimental studies with a Pneumatic Haptic Interface (PHI) system were conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. We used a virtual slave with percent 25 uncertainty to verify the robustness of the controller. We have shown that the proposed scheme can accurately estimate the environmental interaction torques and can robustly track the trajectories commanded by the human operator.

Abstract:

The Naturally-Transitioning Rate-to-Force Controller (NTRFC) is presented for teleoperation of manipulators. Our goal is to provide a single controller which handles free motion, constrained motion, and the transition in-between without any artificial changes. In free motion the displacement of the master device (via the human operator’s hand) is proportional to the commanded Cartesian rate of the manipulator. In contact, the displacement of the human operator’s hand is proportional to the wrench (force/moment) exerted on the environment by the manipulator. The transition between free rate motion and applied-wrench contact with the environment requires no changes in control mode or gains and hence is termed natural. Furthermore, in contact, if the master enables force reflection, the wrench of the human operator’s hand exerted on the master is proportional to the wrench exerted on the environment by the manipulator. This article demonstrates the NTRFC concept via a simple 1-dof model and then discusses experimental implementation and results from a Merlin manipulator teleoperated via the force-reflecting PHANToM interface.

Abstract:

Telerobotic systems have persistently struggled to provide users with realistic force feedback; high-frequency contact transients convey important information about the remote environment but are typically attenuated to avoid the contact instability they incite. This undesirable behavior can be traced to high-frequency induced master motion, movement of the master device that is caused by force feedback rather than user intention. Such motion is interpreted as a position command to the slave, closing an internal control loop that is unstable under high gain. This paper examines the phenomenon of induced master motion in position-force teleoperation, presenting a new approach for achieving stable, high-gain force reflection using model-based cancellation. Requirements for the model of the induced motion dynamics and methods for its characterization are described, focusing on successive isolation of inertial and connecting elements. The sixth-order nonlinear model obtained for a one-degree-of-freedom user-master system is validated and then tested in a cancellation controller. Canceling high-frequency induced master motion during teleoperation is shown to improve the stability of impacts, allowing significantly higher force reflection levels and a more authentic user experience.

This study investigated kindergarten children's coding of four Instant Logo positioning commands within an hypothesized spatial organization of the plane of the monitor screen. Each of three assessment tasks was administered twice during a four-month instructional period. Results indicated that forward moves were more accurately coded than were back or left moves and right turns were favored over left turns. Neither target location nor the initial heading of the cursor influenced directional fluency. Children's mastery of Logo improved over time both in terms of controlling the cursor and verbalizing control strategies. Children's perception of programming also changed over time. Sex differences appeared in children's programming style rather than their competence.
