Block diagram: A Segway16 Personal Transporter (PT) is a two-wheeled vehicle in which the human operator stands vertically on a platform. As the driver leans left, right, forward, or backward, a set of sensitive gyroscopic sensors sense the desired input. These signals are fed to a computer that amplifies them and commands motors to propel the vehicle in the desired direction. One very important feature of the PT is its safety: The system will maintain its vertical position within a specified angle despite road disturbances, such as uphills and downhills or even if the operator over-leans in any direction. Draw a functional block diagram of the PT system that keeps the system in a vertical position. Indicate the input and output signals, intermediate signals, and main subsystems. (http://segway.com)

UML diagram Please create a state diagram for motor control that is commonly used in household appliances. The motor starts by applying power to both the start and the run windings. - A starting relay determines when the motor has started, at which point the start winding is turned off, leaving only the run winding powered. Appliance motors could be damaged by overheating if they are overloaded or fail to start.
Computer Science A problem with using a production system to control robots is the Qualification Problem – trying to predict all of the things in the environment that can prevent the robot from successfully completing the task and developing actions the robot can execute in order to complete the task. A friend of mine used to maintain the robots for the paintshop at GM. One of their problems was making sure the robots were all using the same colour of paint on the car. The paint was manually loaded into reservoirs by humans and occasionally the wrong colour paint was loaded (by mistake or on purpose). Sometimes the vehicles came off the production line as car of many colours. a. Excluding the loading of the wrong colour mentioned above, what are five external events that could cause these robots to stop their task or do the task incorrectly? Is it possible for the robot to solve each problem without human intervention? If so, how? - if not, why not? b. People used to do this job.…

A gate can be in one out of four possible states: closed, raising, open, lowering. The gate can be opened either manually (by pushing the “OPEN” button) or when a sensor detects that a car is at gate. After the gate fully opens, it can be closed by pushing the “CLOSE” button. It can be also closed after 10 seconds from being fully opened, but only if there is no car at gate.Create state transition table for the above case based on the image given.
Description A smart home is technologically a modern home that uses different types of electronic methods, voice activation methods and sensors to collect specific data Information gained from that data is used to manage assets, resources and services efficiently. By using assembly/Arduino language, keeping in mind finite state concepts, you are required to simulate the functionalities of the Temperature warning system to control room temperature. Using the Arduino simulator integrate with NTC Thermistor that will turn on different LEDs. Green when temp 45C Triggering conditions/events could be passed to microprocessor directly (pulses) or programmatically. Marking scheme:

Find as many instances of physical controllers and displays as possible. a) list of those b) Make an effort to sort and organize them. (c) Discuss whether you think the control or display is appropriate for its intended use.
