The goal of this thesis was to create a sensors glove with force feedback feeling when operating a humanoid robot hand. The development covered multiple areas such as mechanics, electronics and programming. The final product gave the user control over three fingers of a humanoid robotic hand. In the case where the robotic hand comes in contact with an object the user's finger movement is limited according to the pressure the robotic hands fingers exposes the object to. / Rapporten beskriver arbetet för framtagandet och skapandet av en sensorhandske med inbyggd force feedback funktion som därmed ska möjliggöra styrning över en mekanisk gripare med hög finmotorik. Detta för att kunna få en mer realistisk manövrering över griparen. Projektet är uppdelat i två system. Ett system för sensorhand som med en Arduino Uno Rev 3 styr servomotorer som används för att återskapa force feedbacken. Utöver det sker även mätning och analys av användarens fingerposition genom potentiometrar. Det andra systemet är för en humanoid robothand som även den använder sig av en Arduino Uno Rev 3 för att manövrera de servomotorer som handen använder för att flytta fingrarna. Mätning och analys av trycksensorer på robothandens fingertoppar genomförs för att möjliggör återskapandet av force feedback till användaren efter det tryck robothanden utsätter ett objekt för. De två systemen använder sig av ett I2C protokoll i form av multimaster and slave struktur för att kommunicera mellan det två mikrokontrollerna samt deras respektive servomotordrivarkretsar (Adafruit- PCA9685). För att undvika krockar i kommunikationen då mer än en master använder I2C linorna skapades en ovanpåliggande struktur för att upprätta regler för hur kommunikationen ska genomföras. All datahantering och kommunikation programmeras i C++. Programmeringskoden är skapad så att utbytet av robothanden och dess servodrivarkrets är möjligt. Sensorhandsken kan därmed implementeras till vad användaren väljer att använda den till, så länge kommunikationen sker med samma regler och struktur som upprättats. Utöver elektronik och programmering har även mycket mekanik tillämpats då olika delar av elektroniken ska byggas in och kunna fungera korrekt med rörliga mekaniska delar. Detta har bland annat använts i skapandet för fingerpositionsmätningen där trimpotentiometrar har byggts in och rörliga delar kan ändra på det resistiva motståndet i komponenten. Trots projektets begränsning till tre fingrar tyder projektet på att det framtagna konceptet av en sensorhandske med force feedback är fullt möjligt och genomförbart.

This thesis is based on the design and production of teaching kits with expansion modules which are based on the Atmel AVR microcontroller. Kit consists of a plate containing processes and basic power modules directly on the board and expansion modules "SIMAČ". "SIMAČ" modules are virtual elements that simulate the real elements and they are commonly used in industrial automation. Because of their cost they are integrated in extension kit as programmable modules. It also contains basic theoretical information about working with ATMEL AVR microcontrollers. Expansion modules with module development board and disc which will be loaded all the schemes, programs and technical documentation for individual districts will be attached to the thesis.

This Master’s thesis deals with assembling of a colorimeter using NFC technology. The theoretical part introduces the principles of colorimetric measurement, calibration curve, and important physical quantities. Further, the principle of NFC technology, its architecture, and division of NFC devices are described. The goal of the practical part is to propose a structural design and software solution of a colorimeter. Particular emphasis is placed on the selection of the RGB sensor that is being tested and its results are being analyzed. The construction of electrical circuit and microprocessor control are being solved. The manuscript deals with the implementation of an application for the Android operating system, which serves as the user interface of the colorimeter. Obtaining data from the sensor and storing it in a memory of the NFC tag is provided by the Arduino platform. Issues that were encountered during the work are analyzed in the discussion.

The master’s thesis describes development of control system for automatic mouth-organ. The process of development is divided into three parts: a concept of control system, design of hardware parts and development of software parts. Controlled device, system requirements and general design of the hardware and software components are described in the concept of control system. The detailed hardware design includes next processes: electronic component selection, printed circuit board design, assembly and debugging. The result of this chapter is electronic system, which function correctly. The aim of the last chapter is to specify and explain development of software parts of control system. Installation of required software and important aspects of control software and user interface development are described in this chapter. The goal of the thesis is to create a control system, which will function correctly and reliably.

This paper deals with the hardware and software design of the data acquisition distributed system with large amount of connected sensors. The intended application of this work is measuring some physical quantities in the building constructions. The designed system is hierarchically divided into the three levels. On the highest level there is a single-board computer Raspberry Pi which is used as a master on RS-485 bus. There can be up to 32 slave devices on the bus while each of them collects data from the sensors connected to 4-channel I2C bus. At the same time the Raspberry Pi is used as a web server, providing the user interface of the system.

The main goal of this thesis is to design intrinsically safe line analyzer. Thesis describes a device that consists of three measuring circuits and a communication circuit. The device is required to measure posistor resistance, isolation state of power cable and line continuity in potentially explosive areas.

Temperatures are measured periodically with user defined interval, values are stored into internal memory and showed on display. Measured data can also be transferred via Ethernet to clinent PC, where can be viewed in form of table and graphs.
