New Software Tool for Modelling and Control of Discrete-Event and Hybrid Systems Using Petri Nets

The main aim of the proposed paper is to design a new software tool for modelling and control of discrete-event and hybrid systems using Arduino and similar microcontrollers. To accomplish these tasks a new tool called PN2ARDUINO based on Petri nets is proposed which is able to communicate with the microcontroller. Communication with the microcontroller is based on the modified Firmata protocol hence the control algorithm can be implemented on all microcontrollers that support this type of protocol. The developed software tool has been successfully verified in control of laboratory systems. It can also be used for education and research purposes as it offers a graphical environment for designing control algorithms for hybrid and mainly discrete-event systems. The proposed tool can improve education and practice in the field of cyber-physical systems (Industry 4.0)

New Software Tool for Modeling and Control of Discrete-Event and Hybrid Systems Using Timed Interpreted Petri Nets

For the development of modern complex production processes in Industry 4.0, it is appropriate to effectively use advanced mathematical models based on Petri nets. Due to their versatility in modeling discrete-event systems, Petri nets are an important support in creating new platforms for digitized production systems. The main aim of the proposed article is to design a new software tool for modeling and control of discrete-event and hybrid systems using Arduino and similar microcontrollers. To accomplish these tasks, a new tool called PN2ARDUINO based on Petri nets is proposed able to communicate with the microcontroller. Communication with the microcontroller is based on the modified Firmata protocol hence, the control algorithm can be implemented on all microcontrollers that support this type of protocol. The developed software tool was successfully verified in control of laboratory systems. In addition, it can be used for education and research purposes as it offers a graphical environment for designing control algorithms for hybrid and mainly discrete-event systems.

Proposal of IoT devices control using mixed reality and QR codes

The Internet of Things (IoT) and mixed reality are now among the most important areas in research or in practice. The aim of this paper is to propose an appropri‐ ate way of connection of these two areas, where is pos‐ sible to control and monitor mechatronic devices using a mobile device with augmented/mixed reality support. The main task will be to explore these options in the area and implement this solution as prototype. The proposed methodology for control and diagnostics of mechatronic devices is modern as it combines hardware management, Unity engine for mixed reality development, and commu‐ nication within the IoT network

Low-Cost Method for 3D Body Measurement Based on Photogrammetry Using Smartphone

This paper is focused on the possibilities of data collection via photogrammetry methods, using smartphone cameras and post-processing. The aim of this paper is to refer to progressive technologies that are part of smartphone devices, which bring more performance and variability of usage year by year. The theoretical part starts with looking to the past, describing problems of measurements and solutions invented by famous mathematicians, which we use nowadays. The following section deals with the background of measuring the human body and photogrammetry. The next section is about measuring and using calibration methods. The results section presents the architecture design of the system and a visual representation of how the application works. The result of processing a 3D person is a data object with measurements in real world metric units with minimum deviation. The conclusion is that we created our own low-cost method for 3D body measurement which partially or completely removes the shortcomings that were identified during the review of similar solutions. Our method is based on the use of open-source libraries, the use of a single smartphone mobile device and the creation of a true 3D human body model
