Removable Ball 50 mm The whole is mounted on a blackened stainless steel carrier plate Trackball TSW50 and supplied with a silicone sponge sealing the unit onto the cus- tomers’ panel. Above features make this trackball unit best suited for extreme dusty environments where cleaning and/or flush through with clear water is required for optimum functionality (f.i. agressive dust like cement dust, etc..) or for salty water environments (f.i. naval navi- gation etc…). The adjustable tracking force is another advantage for “unstable” working conditions like for instance in the naval navigation. Features • Removable ball • Adjustable tracking force • Self-draining & flush through • Waterproof optical sensing • Incl. panel seal Typical applications • Naval (salt water) • Agressive dusty environments • Unstable operation conditions (transport, etc..) Self-draining option The trackball is supplied with its draining hole sealed by a rubber insert. If required, this insert can easily be removed by the user and replaced by an adequate tube in order to drain any liquids from the trackball to the outside of the users’ cabinet.

These trackballs are highly suited for harsh industrial TSX50x range environments thanks to their robustness and ease of mainte- nance. They feature a removable top ring facilitating the clean- ing of ball and ball compartment for use in even the most dusty environments. The concept itself of these laser trackballs make them waterproof as well. The use of stainless steel for the various parts ensures the best resistance in salty or greasy environments. Due to its outstand- ing sealing, its professional style and its industrial robustness, this trackball unit is the best suited pointing device for all harsh or hostile environments, indoor and outdoor. All panel mount types are supplied with a silicone sponge seal ring for adequate sealing into the customers’ panel or console. A cover plate on the rear side protects the components. Fields of applications are very wide : public access- and informa- tion kiosks, internet and entertainment terminals, navigation controls, food industry, processing industries and many others.

  • ACCESSORIES for PLAYSTATION®3 BECOME AVAILABLE Wireless Controller (SIXAXIS™), Memory Card Adaptor and BD Remote Control
    ACCESSORIES FOR PLAYSTATION®3 BECOME AVAILABLE Wireless Controller (SIXAXIS™), Memory Card Adaptor and BD Remote Control Tokyo, October 3, 2006 – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced that Wireless Controller (SIXAXIS™) and Memory Card Adaptor would become available simultaneously with the launch of PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3) computer entertainment system on November 11th, 2006, in Japan, at a recommended retail price of 5,000 yen (tax included) and 1,500 yen (tax included) respectively. BD Remote Control will also become available on December 7th 2006, at a recommended retail price of 3,600 yen (tax included). Wireless Controller (SIXAXIS) for PS3 employs a high-precision, highly sensitive six-axis sensing system, which detects natural and intuitive movements of hands for real-time interactive play. With the adoption of Bluetooth® wireless technology, it allows up to 7 players to play at the same time, without having to attach any other external device such as a multitap. In addition, by simply plugging a USB cable to the controller, users can seamlessly switch from wireless to wired connection and automatically charge its battery while the controller is in use. Controller battery lasts up to 30 hours when fully charged *1). The new Memory Card Adaptor enables users to transfer data saved on Memory Cards for PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 onto the hard disk drive of PS3. To transfer data, users need to simply insert their Memory Cards to the Memory Card Adaptor connected to PS3 via a USB port. In December, BD Remote Control will also become available, which enables users to easily operate movies and music content on BD (Blu-ray Disc) and DVD on PS3.

  • Immersive Robotic Telepresence for Remote Educational Scenarios
    sustainability Article Immersive Robotic Telepresence for Remote Educational Scenarios Jean Botev 1,* and Francisco J. Rodríguez Lera 2 1 Department of Computer Science, University of Luxembourg, L-4364 Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg 2 Department of Mechanical, Informatics and Aerospace Engineering, University of León, 24071 León, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Social robots have an enormous potential for educational applications and allow for cognitive outcomes that are similar to those with human involvement. Remotely controlling a social robot to interact with students and peers in an immersive fashion opens up new possibilities for instructors and learners alike. Using immersive approaches can promote engagement and have beneficial effects on remote lesson delivery and participation. However, the performance and power consumption associated with the involved devices are often not sufficiently contemplated, despite being particularly important in light of sustainability considerations. The contributions of this research are thus twofold. On the one hand, we present telepresence solutions for a social robot’s location-independent operation using (a) a virtual reality headset with controllers and (b) a mobile augmented reality application. On the other hand, we perform a thorough analysis of their power consumption and system performance, discussing the impact of employing the various technologies. Using the QTrobot as a platform, direct and immersive control via different interaction modes, including motion, emotion, and voice output, is possible. By not focusing on individual subsystems or motor chains, but the cumulative Citation: Botev, J.; Rodríguez Lera, energy consumption of an unaltered robot performing remote tasks, this research provides orientation F.J.

  • Remote Control Buttons in This Exercise You Will: 1
    ROBOTC 1 Engineering Lab Remote Control Buttons In this exercise you will: 1. Program the buttons on your remote controller. 2. Identify the names and locations of all buttons on the VEXnet Remote Control. Remote Control Overview The VEXnet Remote Control is a very powerful tool that a programmer can use to use to achieve direct control of their robot. Each button can be programmed to control a specific behavior, for example - goStraight, rightTurn, leftTurn, openGripper, closeGripper - allowing limitless options. Joysticks: Each remote control has two josticks. They are the round knobs that are labeled 1+2 and 3+4 on the picture on the left. To access the y-axis of right joystick the command would be “vexRT[Ch2]”. The joystick axis names are: Ch1 Ch2 Ch3 Ch4 Note: ROBOTC has the capability of working with two remote controls at a time. Names for the second remote control are appended by Xmtr2. For example, to access the y-axis of right joystick on the second remote control, the command would be “vexRT[Ch2Xmtr2]”. Buttons: There are 12 programmable buttons on the remote control. The eight buttons on the front are broken into two groups of four, each having up, down, left, and right buttons. Two groups of up and down buttons make up the additional four buttons on the top of the remote control. Accessing button values in ROBOTC is very similar to accessing joystick values. The vexRT[] command is still used, but now you use the letters “Btn”, followed by the group number it belongs to, and finally the letter U, D, L, or R, depending on the buttons direction.
