Implementing Nonelinear Control of a Six Degree of Freedom Robotic Arm on a Raspberry Pi 3
No full textThis paper covers techniques of implementing model-based dynamic control on an educational dexterous robotic manipulator with respect to the challenges of achieving and/or exceeding targeted sampling time. The frequency of a control loop is vitally important to the performance of a closed-loop system. For multidimensional systems, like robotic manipulators, obtaining a sufficiently high control loop frequency is especially important since nonlinear control algorithms are usually developed without regard to a finite sampling time. Implementing these nonlinear control algorithms can therefore be notably challenging, especially implementing them on small single-board computers that have limited processing power, like the Raspberry Pi 3. Key elements contributing to the sampling time of a control loop include reading in sensor data, evaluating error of the system, computing the control law, and writing actuator values. All these processes must be completed in the control loop. Furthermore, a lower bound on the loop rate of 20 Hz is generally sought after in order to achieve smooth motion. The main concern with achieving this minimum sampling rate is the computational time required to calculate the typically large terms required for nonlinear robotic control of high degree-of-freedom (DOF) systems while simultaneously handling the large amount of input/output associated with a dexterous robot. This paper describes how the kinematics and dynamics of a robotic system can be computed sufficiently fast, in an interpreted language like Python, by performing the large computations with compiled C code and by offloading many input/output tasks to smaller dedicated microcontrollers. Timing results from actual implementation of nonlinear Independent Joint Control, and a Computed-Torque transposed Jacobian Task Space Controller on a dexterous 6-DOF robotic system are presented

The Development, Validation, and Standardization of a New Tool: The Dyscalculia Test
No full textThis paper describes a study that focused on developing, validating and standardizing a dyscalculia test, henceforth called the Dyscalculia Test. Out of the 4,758,800 students in Nigeria\u27s upper primary and junior secondary schools, l randomly drew a sample of 2340 students, using a multistage sampling procedure that applied various sampling techniques. For data collection, I used the Test of General Reasoning Ability and Paper 1 of the Mathematics Achievement Test section of the 2021 National Common Entrance Examination, as well as the Dyscalculia Test introduced in this paper, which was developed and standardized in stages. My analysis shows that the Dyscalculia Test items effectively zero in on three components: number sense, arithmetic operation, and working memory. Based on my findings, I recommend that school administrators and counselors adopt the Dyscalculia Test to assess students who may be having difficulty in mathematics and arithmetic for proper diagnosis
Teaching Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) in a Pandemic
No full textTeaching Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) has become increasingly more common in the American school system, and many districts have adopted curricula or strategies to promote its usage. Research has continued to show that students receive various short- and long-term benefits when SEL is taught in the classroom. However, the COVID-19 pandemic changed how SEL instruction was given, and the implications are far-reaching. The purpose of this study is to describe the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on how SEL was taught. In addition, the study identifies challenges and possible solutions to ensure that SEL is taught during incredibly challenging circumstances
Security-Enhanced Serial Communications
No full textIndustrial Control Systems (ICS) are widely used by critical infrastructure and are ubiquitous in numerous industries including telecommunications, petrochemical, and manufacturing. ICS are at a high risk of cyber attack given their internet accessibility, inherent lack of security, deployment timelines, and criticality. A unique challenge in ICS security is the prevalence of serial communication buses and other non-TCP/IP communications protocols. The communication protocols used within serial buses often lack authentication and integrity protections, leaving them vulnerable to spoofing and replay attacks. The bandwidth constraints and prevalence of legacy hardware in these systems prevent the use of modern message authentication and integrity techniques, such as those provided by Transport Layer Security (TLS). Our approach seeks to address the challenges of providing authentication to serial communications while keeping the existing serial communications bus in place and adding minimal hardware. Here we demonstrate the integration of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) on the bus to inject message authentication codes into an out-of-band (OOB) communications channel, leveraging Power Line Communication (PLC) techniques. Our results show that simple solutions can be integrated into existing serial communications to provide necessary security features in critically important systems. The presented solution is inexpensive, scales well, is modular and extensible, and has low temporal overhead. Providing authenticated serial communications for critical infrastructure systems will improve their ability to resist cyber attacks
