Design, Implementation and Performance Analysis of High Performance Telerobotic Systems Using Real Time Communication Protocols on Wireless Networks TÜBİTAK Project, EEEAG 108E091 Fatih University, Department of Computer Engineering, Istanbul Researcher (with Prof. Dr. Onur Toker, Project Manager) 9/2008 – 9/2010 Worked as researcher with Prof. Dr. Onur Toker in the TÜBİTAK, EEEAG 108E91 project. The main goal of this project was to design, implement and performance analysis of high performance telerobotic system architectures using real time communication protocols on wireless networks. Telerobotics can be defined as the control of robot arms from a remote location. In a telerobotic system, there is a robot arm to be controlled which is identified as the “slave arm”, and a remote operator at a distant location using a robotic manipulator which is called the “master arm”. In control system measurements actuator delays do degrade system performance. Therefore, communication delays between the master and slave arms and their minimization are of extreme importance in telerobotics. We first developed a new wireless communication protocol, Lightweight Wireless Protocol (LWP), designed on top the 802.11 MAC layer. This low-delay wireless LWP protocol was implemented on an embedded system (Airdrop-LWP) without an operating system and its associated overhead. Finally, two Airdrop-LWP embedded systems running this low-delay wireless LWP protocol were used to build a telerobotic system with a Mitsubishi RV-2AJ industrial robot. The LWP protocol was also tested on a robot car controlled by an AirDrop-LWP card as a slave arm and a standard PC as a master arm. The key features of LWP are reduced packet size, simple protocol stack, predictive compression of operator movements, and prediction of lost data packets. The LWP protocol was compared with TCP/IP suite of protocols, and when compared with UDP significant performance improvements are observed: Up to 50% reduced delay, and an additional 20% lower delay via compression. Variation in packet delay times is also an important parameter for the wireless control system. As the standard deviation of packet delay times increase, and become less and less predictable, the resulting telerobotic system will be more and more difficult to operate. We measured the standard deviation of packet delays, and observed that it increases with the packet size, and this increase is faster than the increase in mean packet delay.

National Railway Signalling Solutions for Istanbul Urban Rail Transportation Systems Metro Istanbul (İstanbul ULAŞIM A.Ş.) (Istanbul Transportation Company) Consultant to the General Manager and Project Teams 9/2008 – 4/2009 Served as consultant to the General Manager and Project Teams at Metro Istanbul. Railway Signalling is a complex and fascinating research and development area in railways. The purpose of a signalling system is to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of trains on the railway. Two major worldwide markets in railways are Main Line Railways and Urban Rail Transportation Systems (Metro, LRT (Light Rail Transit), Tramway). This project investigates all aspects of railway signalling systems for İstanbul Urban Rail Systems to design and develop national signalling solutions. The initial target of the project is to build the research and development infrastructure (signalling literature and information infrastructure, railway signalling lab requirements, development team, team processes and dynamics, ...) and to produce the first road map, some technical blue prints, requirements analysis and system architecture design documents, and railway signalling simulator programs.

Framework for Context-Aware Pervasive Systems (FCAPSYS) Fatih University-Research Fund Project, P50050702 Project Manager 6/2007 – 6/2008 Worked as project manager (primary investigator and researcher) in this funded research project. A framework for a context-aware system over pervasive wireless networks was developed for a university campus. The basic aim was the development of a real-time distributed system architecture, based on novel protocols and applications targeted for indoor and outdoor context-aware computing. In this project, we explored new ways of enabling and exploiting new pervasive wireless connectivity and positioning solutions for a university campus. The pervasive wireless networks were constructed with small wireless devices, real-time indoor and outdoor location-infrastructures such as 802.11 access points and GPS (Global Positioning System). GPS gives the outdoor position information for mobile users having GPS-enabled handheld Pocket PCs. The 802.11 infrastructure, besides wireless network access, was also used for finding locations of mobile users in the campus area.

Automatic Sales Machine and Ticket Sales Machine Projects BELBİM (Istanbul Municipalities Data Processing Industry & Trade Inc.) Consultant to Project Teams 5/2003–12/2003 Consulted the project teams for system architecture, technologies and software development processes at BELBİM. The AKBIL (Smart Ticket) System developed by BELBIM for public transportation is the biggest integrated electronic ticket system in the world. It has become possible more than 5.000.000 habitants of Istanbul to travel with only one single ticket in 15 separate organizations and 19 kinds of different vehicles. This project was entirely designed and produced by Turkish engineers without getting any loan and know-how. This is a reengineering project which re-designs and re-implements the existing Automatic Sales Machine (ASM) and Ticket Sales Machine (TSM) parts of the AKBIL system using Java technologies, new development tools and processes. These two systems are basically ticket loading systems and do the similar jobs. The ASM has no sales person; it uses a banknote accepter to get the user’s cache, whereas the TSM is used by a sales officer and has many complicated operations for ticket loading. The ASM system has a personal computer (PC), a banknote accepter (BNA), a TOM (Touch On Memory) Read/Write circuit, a monitor, a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD), a printer, other hardware components and a power supply. The BNA, TOM R/W circuit, and VFD are connected to the serial ports of the PC. The TSM system has all these hardware components except BNA. The analysis, design, and implementation of the new system were started and completed using UML and an agile software development process. The Java programming language and Borland JBuilder development platform were used in the implementation. The Borland Together was used as the UML modeling and documentation tool.

Data Transfer and Automatic Integration Projects BELBİM (Istanbul Municipalities Data Processing Industry & Trade Inc.) Consultant to Project Teams 5/2003 –12/2003 Consulted the project teams for system architecture, technologies and software development processes at BELBİM. The AKBIL data (like sales reports) produced by many different vehicles in Istanbul transportation are collected by modems and processed at the BELBIM Data Processing Center every day. The statistical and financial reports are produced and sent to many organizations of Istanbul at a daily basis. The data transfer program basically gets and writes raw reports (files collected by modems from different sources) to database tables and related directories on the file servers according to their file types. The automatic integration program reads preprocessed files from their directories and start further processing and database operations. These two projects are reengineering projects which re-design and re-implement the existing data transfer and file processing units of the AKBIL system using new technologies, development tools and processes. The analysis, design, and implementation of the new systems were started and completed using UML and an agile software development process. The C# programming language, Visual Studio.NET development platform, and MS SQL Server were used in the implementation. The Borland Together was used as the UML modeling and documentation tool.
