IoT Based Systems

Ball & Plate Control

The experiment aims to balance a ball on a moving plate using a system acquired from Feedback Inc. To enable remote access via the web, a GUI has been designed and developed, along with the necessary computer interfacing and networking. A demonstration video shows the ball balancing activity from a remote location. Demo Video

Mobile Robot

The remote vacuum cleaner is a mobile robot developed as part of a remote laboratory facility. It is designed for remote floor cleaning over the web, primarily for teaching and training purposes. The main objective is to control this mobile unit via the internet using Python. The mobile unit is built with an Arduino Uno board, ultrasonic sensors, and IR sensors to avoid obstacles, and is equipped with a DC vacuum unit for cleaning. The server is created using open-source Python software, and the graphical user interface (GUI) for a user-friendly experience is developed using HTML and CSS.

Smart Home

The smart house is a remotely controlled model house where users can control the indoor environment from a remote location over the web. The house has a door, heater, fan, light, temperature sensor, and a light level sensor. The video shows a demonstration of its functionalities. Demo Video

Embadded Processor System

The system consists of an embedded processor (Arduino) along with various input and output devices. These devices are connected to the processor's input/output ports and can be controlled using an appropriate program. Users can upload their programs to the processor board and manipulate the devices as desired. A demonstration video is provided to show its operation: Demo Video

SCEFMAS (Simulation and Control of Environment of Flexible Manipulator System)

This version of SCEFMAS (Simulation and Control Environment of Flexible Manipulator Systems) is an internet-accessible simulation environment for a single-link flexible manipulator system. Hosted on a server at NIU, it can be accessed by users with the required credentials. The videos demonstrate the use of this facility for finite difference and finite element modeling, as well as open-loop controls.
