In this work, 4-DOF ER haptic master is proposed and integrated with a slave robot for minimally invasive surgery(MIS). Using a controllable ER fluid, the haptic master can generate a repulsive force/torque with the 4-DOF motion. For realization of master-slave robot system, the motion command of the haptic master is realized by slave surgery robot. In order to follow the 4-DOF motion of the haptic master, novel mechanism of slave surgery robot with gimbal joint is devised. Accordingly, the haptic master-slave robot system is established by incorporating the slave robot with the haptic master device in which the desired repulsive force/torque and position are transferred to each other via wireless communications. In order to obtain the desired force/torque and position trajectories, tracking controllers for haptic master and slave robot are designed and implemented, respectively. It has been demonstrated that the desired effective torque tracking control performance is well achieved using the proposed haptic master-slave robot system.

We developed a wireless communication system for multiple instrumentation system. The developed system has a function of remote instrumentation and PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) control. The system consists of CC(Control and Communication) protocol, wireless media access and physical media system. For multiple wireless communication, we propose a hub polling protocol based on master-slave control concept. To show the validity of the developed system, several experiments are illustrated.

This paper presents the duplex controller operated as master slave for Self Excited Static Type excitation system and the results of operation for duplex digital excitation system. Software is made up duplex multi-tasking control algorithm which is based on VxWorks(real-time OS), preprocessing algorithm for input-output signal, BSP & Device Driver for interfacing hardware and software, and OIS(Operator Interface Station) program, HMI S/W. Master controller and slave controller intercommunicate dominant data to minimize bump when controller switchover from master to slave occurs. Communication between master controller and slave controller is duplicated and communication between OIS and controller is duplicated. Hardware is made up VMEBUS based controller which is designed with PPC & I/O board ...

This paper reports on a Realtime OS based motor control system for laparoscopic surgery robot which enables telesurgery and overcomes shortcomings with conventional laparoscopic surgery. The system has a conventional master-slave robot configuration and the control system consists of joint controllers, host controllers, and power units. The robot features (1) a compact slave robot with 5 DOF (Degree Of Freedom) expanding the workspace of each tool and increasing the number of tools operating simultaneously, and (2) direct 1:1 correspondence in the joint of master and slave robot that simplifies control algorithm and enhances reliability. Each master, slave and GUI (Graphical User Interface) host has a dedicated RTOS (RealTime OS), RTLinux-Pro (FSMLabs Inc., U.S.A.) Each master and slave controller set pair has a dedicated CAN (Controller Area Network) channel for control and monitoring signal communication. Total 4 pairs of the master/slave manipulators as current are monitored by one host controller for operation monitoring and higher level motion control. The system showed acceptable performance in both position control precision and master-slave motion synchronization and is now under further development for better safety and control fidelity for clinically applicable prototype.

Communication between Bluetooth devices is based on TDD by a master unit. In this discipline, the transmission of slave packets can be made only when the master transmits a packet to the slave. Thus, some slots may be wasted when there is no user data in the master's or slave's queue due to the transmission of a POLL or NULL packet. Therefore a scheduling scheme which can minimize the slot waste is required in Bluetooth intra-piconet communication. However, since the master is responsible for the intra-piconet scheduling, it must be provided with an information on each slave's queue length to apply traditional scheduling schemes. which is impossible in Bluetooth. This paper presents a new Bluetooth intra-piconet scheduling scheme that is efficient and does not require the information on each slave's queue length. The scheduling is done based on the information about the existence of data in the master and slave queues which is derived by the master identifying the type of packets transmitted. The master schedules to communicate with the slaves according to the priorities determined based on this information. We Presents simulation results which indicate a significant improvement in the performance when our proposed scheme is used.

This paper presents the implementation for the master changing algorithm between nodes in a general electric vehicle. The packet processing method based on the unique network method of an electric vehicle is that the method of processing a communication packet has the priority from the node of a vehicle installed at both ends. An important factor in deciding master or slave in a train is that the request data, the status data, and transmits or control codes of sub-devices are controlled from the node which master becomes. If the request data or the status data is transmitted from the non- master side, it is very important that only one of the devices of both stages be master since the data of the request data may collide with each other. This paper proposes an algorithm to select master or slave depending on which vehicle is started first, which node is master or slave, and whether the vehicle key is operation. Finally experimental results show the stable performance and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

TCN(Train Communication Network) adopts the master/slave protocol to implement real-time communication. In this network, a fault on the master node, cased by either hardware or software failure, makes the entire communication impossible over TCN. To reduce fault detection and recovery time, this paper propose the contention based mastership transfer algorithm. Slave nodes detect the fault of master node and search next master node using the proposed algorithm. This paper also shows the implementation results of a SoC-based Fault-Tolerant MVB Controller(FT-MVBC) which includes the fault-detect-logic as well as the MVB network logic to verify this algorithm.

Maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) has been developed over the years. But, there are many unresolved problems. To overcome these problems, this study proposes connected ship navigation system. The system comprises a slave ship and a master ship that leads the slave ship. To implement this system, communication network, route planning algorithms, and controllers are designed. The communication network is built using the transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) socket communication method to exchange data between ships. The route planning algorithms calculate the course and distance of the slave ship using the middle latitude sailing method. Nomoto model is used as the mathematical model of the slave ship maneuvering motion. Then, the autoregressive with exogenous variables (ARX) model is used to estimate the parameters of Nomoto model. Based on the above model, the automatic steering controller is designed using a proportional-derivative (PD) control. Also, the speed controller is designed for the slave ship to maintain constant distance from the master ship. Sea experiments are conducted to verify the proposed system with two remodeled boats.
