3. Digital Twinning Remote Laboratories for Online Practical Learning

Author

Palmer, Claire, Roullier, Ben, Aamir, Muhammad, McQuade, Frank, Stella, Leonardo, and Anjum, Ashiq

Subjects

Abstract

The COVID19 pandemic has demonstrated a need for remote learning and virtual learning applications such as virtual reality (VR) and tablet-based solutions. Creating complex learning scenarios by developers is highly time-consuming and can take over a year. It is also costly to employ teams of system analysts, developers and 3D artists. There is a requirement to provide a simple method to enable lecturers to create their own content for their laboratory tutorials. Research has been undertaken into developing generic models to enable the semi-automatic creation of a virtual learning tools for subjects that require practical interactions with the lab resources. In addition to the system for creating digital twins, a case study describing the creation of a virtual learning application for an electrical laboratory tutorial has been presented., Comment: 56 pages, 14 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2106.09344. Added version accepted for publication

Creating complex learning scenarios by developers is highly time-consuming and can take over a year. There is a need to provide a simple method to enable lecturers to create their own content for their laboratory tutorials.

7. Autonomous control for on-orbit assembly using artificial potential functions

Author

McQuade, Frank

Subjects
629.47, Manned spacecraft
Abstract

Current spacecraft mission analysis has highlighted a requirement for the assembly of large structures in Earth Orbit. This thesis investigates an autonomous method of assembly for such large structures. The scheme envisaged is based on Lyapunov's method which is extended to potential function theory. The method forms an analytical solution to the assembly problem by generating high level control commands which are then devolved to individual actuator commands for the assembly vehicles. The application of the method to general assembly problems has allowed the development of a generic global potential function. The application of the global potential function has required the use of a connectivity matrix which contains the information required to assemble the goal structure. Thus, a structure may be modified by altering only the characteristics of the connectivity matrix. The generic assembly method is then applied using a subsumptive type architecture which allows the assembly controller to delegate sub-components of the total structure to secondary controllers. Therefore, the method may then be utilised to construct complex structures, which, when linked to the use of smart components and joints allows the assembly of adaptive structures. These adaptive and variable topology structures which may change their functionality with time may prove useful for future mission applications.

Author

MCQUADE, FRANK, KING, JOHN, and SOURIEAU, MARIE-AGNÈS

Abstract

An encyclopedia entry on the cultural journals in Latin America is presented. Carlos Quijano founded "Marcha," in Montevideo, Uruguay in June 1939 to serve as a medium for economic, political and aesthetic debate. "Orígenes," was an arts review founded in Havana, Cuba by José Lezama Lima and José Rodríguez Feo in 1944. The monthly cultural journal "Plural," was launched in Mexico by the newspaper "Excelsior" in 1971.

33. Transculturation.

Author

McQUADE, FRANK

Abstract

An encyclopedia entry about transculturation in Latin America is presented. The term "transculturation," coined in the 1940s by the Cuban anthropologist and theorist of African-Cuba movements, Fernando Ortiz, is used as a refinement of "acculturation," which describes a process of assimilation and absorption of minority cultures by dominant ones. The role of Uruguayan critic Ángel Rama in the introduction of the term into literary studies in the 1970s is noted.
