Wearable sensor network for lower limb angle estimation in robotics applicationsTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In human-robot interaction, sensors are relevant in guaranteeing stability and high performance in real-time applications. Nonetheless, accuracy and portable sensors for robots usually have high costs and little flexibility to process signals with free software. Therefore, we propose a wearable sensor network to measure lower limb angular position in human-robot interaction systems. The methodology employed to achieve the aim consisted in implementing a wireless network using low-cost devices, verifying design requirements, and making a validation via a proof of concept. The requirements to design the network include low loss of information, real-time communication, and sensor fusion to estimate the angular position using a gyroscope and accelerometer. Hence, the sensor network developed has a client-server architecture based on ESP8266 microcontrollers. In addition, this network uses the standard 802.11 b/g/n to transmit angular velocity and acceleration measures. Furthermore, we implement the user datagram protocol (UDP) protocol to operate in real-time with a sample time of 10 ms. Finally, we implement a proof of concept to show the system’s effectiveness. Thus, we use the Kalman filter to estimate the angular position of the foot, shin, thigh, and hip. Results indicate that the implemented sensor network is suitable for real-time robotic applications.

Recently, in many cases, the reason for a patient staying in the hospital is not that he or she actually needs active medical care. Often, the principal reason for a lengthy stay in the hospital is simply continual observation. Therefore, efforts have been made to avoid acute admissions and long lengths of stay in the hospital. In recent years, emergency admissions and long lengths of stay have become extremely costly. So the focus of health policy has shifted away from the provision of reactive, acute care toward preventive care outside the hospital. As models of care are redesigned, health economies are seeking to provide more care outside large acute centers. The drivers for this shift are two-fold; first, there is a quality-of-care issue and second, there is a resource allocation issue. Being cared for in a patient’s own home is a key aim of current U.K. government health policy and that is driven by an imperative to provide better quality care to people without the need to disrupt their lives. Investment in technologies that enable remote monitoring would lead to long-term gains in terms of hospital finances and patient care.
Design and implementation of portable electrocardiogram recorder with field ...IJECEIAES
The electrical activities of the heart are used to monitor cardiovascular diseases. It can be measured using electrocardiogram (ECG), a simple, painless test that can be recorded graphically. The physician, to predict the patient’s heart conditions and recommend suitable treatments, uses electrodes placed on the patient’s skin surface, to record these signals. The P, Q, R, S, T waves in the ECG signal can be used to determine the normality and abnormality of the heart's condition. The time interval differs for each cardiovascular condition of the heart. In this work, the ECG signal is acquired real-time using an intelligent sensor module, and the recorded value is processed to find the peak values. The data is sent to the web server using internet of things technology at a minimal time, where the physician can view it and proper decision can be taken. The real-time ECG data acquisition is also made using the field programmable gate array kit as it is a low cost, high-speed device and the output is viewed in the computer. The developed model is validated through MATLAB software and implemented for real-time applications.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is an important parameter for analyzing the cardiac system. It serves as the primary diagnostic tool for patients with suspected heart disease, guiding appropriate cardiac investigations according to the disease or condition suspected. However, ECG measurements may generate noise, leading to false diagnoses. The wavelet transform is an effective and widely-used technique for eliminating noise. Typically, analysis and generation algorithms are developed on computer and using software built in. This paper presents a noise elimination algorithm based on the wavelet transform method, designed to operate on resource-limited Node microcontroller unit (MCU). An efficiency study was conducted to determine the optimum mother wavelet implementation of the algorithm, and the results showed that, when considering synthetic ECG signals, db4 was the most suitable for eliminating interference by achieving the highest signal to noise ratio (SNR) and correlation coefficient. In addition, this algorithm prototype can analyze ECG signals using the wavelet transform method processed in a microcontroller and is accurate compared to reliable programs. It has the potential to be further developed into a low-cost portable ECG signal measurement tool for use in remote medicine, healthcare facilities in resource-limited areas, education and training, as well as home monitoring for chronic patients.

Alzheimer's is a progressive disease that affects memory, causing disorientation in the patient, which causes them to lose themselves, generating anguish in families who have to resort to expensive searches. The objective of this research was to implement a device that can remotely provide the location of the Alzheimer's patient over a long period to relatives for greater security. For this, in this research, a mobile application was developed that receives information from a wearable that applies the internet of things using long-range wide area technology to show the patient's real-time location and uses piezoelectrics for greater battery autonomy. The real-time location of the person and the radius of the safe zone in the application were obtained as results, the received signal strength indicator value where the signal was excellent or good had a value of -30 to -89 dB between 0 to 400 meters and the battery discharge time was 11 hours and 44 minutes. It was concluded that the application is interactive, that the piezoelectric system increased the autonomy of the wearable, and that the long-range wide area (LoRa) technology allowed monitoring of the patient's location with great precision at 400 meters.

A Complexity Based Regression Test Selection StrategyCSEIJJournal
Software is unequivocally the foremost and indispensable entity in this technologically driven world.
Therefore quality assurance, and in particular, software testing is a crucial step in the software
development cycle. This paper presents an effective test selection strategy that uses a Spectrum of
Complexity Metrics (SCM). Our aim in this paper is to increase the efficiency of the testing process by
significantly reducing the number of test cases without having a significant drop in test effectiveness. The
strategy makes use of a comprehensive taxonomy of complexity metrics based on the product level (class,
method, statement) and its characteristics.We use a series of experiments based on three applications with
a significant number of mutants to demonstrate the effectiveness of our selection strategy.For further
evaluation, we compareour approach to boundary value analysis. The results show the capability of our
approach to detect mutants as well as the seeded errors.
XML Encryption and Signature for Securing Web ServicesCSEIJJournal
In this research, we have focused on the most challenging issue that Web Services face, i.e. how to secure
their information. Web Services security could be guaranteed by employing security standards, which is the
main focus of this search. Every suggested model related to security design should put in the account the
securities' objectives; integrity, confidentiality, non- repudiation, authentication, and authorization. The
proposed model describes SOAP messages and the way to secure their contents. Due to the reason that
SOAP message is the core of the exchanging information in Web Services, this research has developed a
security model needed to ensure e-business security. The essence of our model depends on XML encryption
and XML signature to encrypt and sign SOAP message. The proposed model looks forward to achieve a
high speed of transaction and a strong level of security without jeopardizing the performance of
transmission information.

retrieval, it still encounters problems especially in implementation; e.g. Floating point operation and
decomposition speed. We use the advantages of lifting scheme, a spatial approach for constructing wavelet
filters, which provides feasible alternative for problems facing its classical counterpart. Lifting scheme has
such intriguing properties as convenient construction, simple structure, integer-to-integer transform, low
computational complexity as well as flexible adaptivity, revealing its potentials in Face image retrieval.

Reconfiguration Strategies for Online Hardware Multitasking in Embedded SystemsCSEIJJournal
An intensive use of reconfigurable hardware is expected in future embedded systems. This means that the
system has to decide which tasks are more suitable for hardware execution. In order to make an efficient
use of the FPGA it is convenient to choose one that allows hardware multitasking, which is implemented by
using partial dynamic reconfiguration. One of the challenges for hardware multitasking in embedded
systems is the online management of the only reconfiguration port of present FPGA devices. This paper
presents different online reconfiguration scheduling strategies which assign the reconfiguration interface
resource using different criteria: workload distribution or task’ deadline. The online scheduling strategies
presented take efficient and fast decisions based on the information available at each moment. Experiments
have been made in order to analyze the performance and convenience of these reconfiguration strategies.
Performance Comparison and Analysis of Mobile Ad Hoc Routing ProtocolsCSEIJJournal
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a wireless network that uses multi-hop peer-to-peer routing instead
of static network infrastructure to provide network connectivity. MANETs have applications in rapidly
deployed and dynamic military and civilian systems. The network topology in a MANET usually changes
with time. Therefore, there are new challenges for routing protocols in MANETs since traditional routing
protocols may not be suitable for MANETs. Researchers are designing new MANET routing protocols
and comparing and improving existing MANET routing protocols before any routing protocols are
standardized using simulations. However, the simulation results from different research groups are not
consistent with each other. This is because of a lack of consistency in MANET routing protocol models
and application environments, including networking and user traffic profiles. Therefore, the simulation
scenarios are not equitable for all protocols and conclusions cannot be generalized. Furthermore, it is
difficult for one to choose a proper routing protocol for a given MANET application. According to the
aforementioned issues, this paper focuses on MANET routing protocols. Specifically, my contribution
includes the characterization of different routing protocols and compare and analyze the performance of
different routing protocols.
Adaptive Stabilization and Synchronization of Hyperchaotic QI SystemCSEIJJournal
The hyperchaotic Qi system (Chen, Yang, Qi and Yuan, 2007) is one of the important models of four-
dimensional hyperchaotic systems. This paper investigates the adaptive stabilization and synchronization
of hyperchaotic Qi system with unknown parameters. First, adaptive control laws are designed to
stabilize the hyperchaotic Qi system to its equilibrium point at the origin based on the adaptive control
theory and Lyapunov stability theory. Then adaptive control laws are derived to achieve global chaos
synchronization of identical hyperchaotic Qi systems with unknown parameters. Numerical simulations
are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive stabilization and synchronization
schemes.
An Energy Efficient Data Secrecy Scheme For Wireless Body Sensor NetworksCSEIJJournal
Data secrecy is one of the key concerns for wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs). Usually, a data
secrecy scheme should accomplish two tasks: key establishment and encryption. WBSNs generally face
more serious limitations than general wireless networks in terms of energy supply. To address this, in this
paper, we propose an energy efficient data secrecy scheme for WBSNs. On one hand, the proposed key
establishment protocol integrates node IDs, seed value and nonce seamlessly for security, then
establishes a session key between two nodes based on one-way hash algorithm SHA-1. On the other hand,
a low-complexity threshold selective encryption technology is proposed. Also, we design a security
selection patter exchange method with low-complexity for the threshold selection encryption. Then, we
evaluate the energy consumption of the proposed scheme. Our scheme shows the great advantage over
the other existing schemes in terms of low energy consumption.
To improve the QoS in MANETs through analysis between reactive and proactive ...CSEIJJournal
A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET), is a self-configuring infra structure less network of mobile devices
connected by wireless links. ad hoc is Latin and means "for this purpose". Each device in a MANET is free
to move independently in any direction, and will therefore change its links to other devices frequently. Each
must forward traffic unrelated to its own use, and therefore be a router. The primary challenge in building
a MANET is equipping each device to continuously maintain the information required to properly route
traffic. QOS is defined as a set of service requirements to be met by the network while transporting a
packet stream from source to destination. Intrinsic to the notion of QOS is an agreement or a guarantee by
the network to provide a set of measurable pre-specified service attributes to the user in terms of delay,
jitter, available bandwidth, packet loss, and so on. The analysis is mainly between proactive or table-driven
protocols like OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing) viz DSDV (Destination Sequenced Distance Vector) &
CGSR (Cluster Head Gateway Switch Routing) and reactive or source initiated routing protocols viz
AODV (Ad hoc on Demand distance Vector) & DSR (Dynamic Source Routing). The QoS analysis of the
above said protocols is simulated on NS2 and results are shown thereby.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

1. INTRODUCTION
In recent years, developments and advances in information and communication technologies
(ICT) and the miniaturization of diagnostic devices have increasingly become part of our daily
lives. In this way, thanks to the improvements provided by ICT, people have an intelligent
lifestyle with more opportunities and free time. These improvements are felt most strongly in the
areas of healthcare [1, 2] safety and reliability [3], automation of household appliances and smart
services. New technologies are present in the entire cycle of patient treatment, they are also

the world is moving towards miniaturization of devices in various fields. This also includes a
medical field where the doctor can effectively analyse various diseases and continuously monitor
various vital signs of the patient during an operation, including laparoscopic operations, which
have recently replaced conventional surgery. ECG monitoring during bloodless surgery is
mandatory throughout the operation. The electrocardiogram (ECG) results are indicative for the
human heart conditions. Advantage of ECG monitoring devices is result from compactness and
portability of the developed wireless heart rate monitoring devices [12, 13]. The development of
new EKG devices is related to some challenges such as precision, convenience and low cost [13,
14]. hardware and software implementation, communication, wireless transmission, signal
processing and analysis [15, 16, 17]. New types of devices for measuring ECG, heart rate,
oxygen values and their application pose new challenges in the processing and analysis of
measurement results and increase the need for automatic, inexpensive, real-time and effective
monitoring of these parameters that can be used at home and/or in outpatient. Many problems
about minimally invasive surgery are solved through robots in the operating rooms. The novel
robotic systems are designed modularly and, in addition to the main laparoscopic instruments,
additional diagnostic modules are also developed to monitor vital functions of the patient and the
necessary equipment during the manipulations. The actuality of the problems can be seen from
what has been listed so far.
This paper proposes an innovative wireless device for ECG patient monitoring during minimally
invasive surgery. It aims to introduce a new type of laparoscopy instrument to improve
healthcare. A robotic modular laparoscopic instrument is developed and manufactured, discussed
in detail in previous studies [18]. The instrument is intended for diagnostic and therapeutic
procedures in laparoscopic surgery. RMLI is built on a modular basis, comprising a common
base platform and a set of integrated intelligent modules. The instruments for monitoring the

2. ARCHITECTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF A SPECIALIZED CONTROLLER FOR
MANAGEMENT OF RMLI AND DECG
During surgical procedures, there are devices used for monitoring of various vital signs of the
patient. The robotic modular laparoscopic instrument for minimal invasive surgery - RMLI was
developed and designed. It performs diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in laparoscopy [18,
19]. An operator's panel, a specialized controller, electromechanical linear drives and tactile force
sensors tor tool-tissues interactions as well as the additionally included modules for monitoring
ECG, pulse, etc. [18] are situated in the platform. This article describes the operation of the
Dedicated Controller and its connection to the Wireless ECG Monitoring M. The Specialized
Controller [18] designed for: control of mechanical movements realized in RMLI and providing
graphical interface (GUI). In such way surgeon can set commands to the RMLI, monitor their
execution, receive a visual operation of the patient's condition, connect via wireless Internet to a
remote server or client, in order to receive additional auxiliary information formed in energy-
independent memory about the actions performed with RMLI and the indicators of the operated
chronologically during the operation process [20];
Maintaining a wireless connection with intelligent devices participating in and ensuring the
successful progress of the laparoscopic operation (ECG mobile devices, wireless sensors,
etc.);
formation of text and sound messages upon detection of inadmissible deviations in the
operation of the RMLI (or the module installed to it), unacceptable changes in the indicators
of the operated or incorrect commands given by the operator. The dedicated controller is built
on the basis of two functional blocks A and B. Block A consists of two sub-blocks (A1 and
A2). The communication of A1 and A2 is realized via an SPI wire interface. The dedicated
controller is shown in Figure 1 (a, b).

control a dedicated driver forming a programmable radiotherapy frequency signal. A built-in
block for generating all the voltages necessary for the operation of the devices included in the
RMLI is located in A1. Block A1 is controlled by its on-board JN5168-001-000 [19] as the on-
board SPI forms pulses to generate motion for stepper motors, receives and processes signals
from force sensors using its analogue inputs ADC0, ADC1 and ADC4,.It has a built-in radio
antenna, generates and supports work with a wireless network and with external network devices.
A1 supports a connection from block A to block B, via a serial RS232 C interface with its own
built-in USB as a service interface or for loading a special management program into the flash
memory

program in CPU flash, (UART1) to communicate with block B. The microcontroller functions as
the main device in block A. The JN5168-001-M00 is a network wireless device and is managed
using the dedicated uMAC stack [23] functions as a Gateway of a wireless network including
intelligent devices participating in and ensuring the successful course of laparoscopic surgery
(ECG mobile devices, wireless sensors, etc.).
On the figure 2 is shown Graphical user interface of a Local Operator Station.
Figure 2. Graphical user interface of a Local Operator Station
The software of the station is developed in Tcl/Tk scripting language for operation under
Windows. A shared reality upgrade for Android has also been developed for it. Detailed in [19,
20]. The operator station is intended for work on a personal computer, tablet or laptop. It
functions as a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) coordinator and implements a Graphical
Programming Interface for the Surgeon-Operator. In addition to the configuration of the robotic
laparoscopic instruments involved in the operation, their programming, the visualization of the
work of their end-effectors, it functions as an advisor to the Operator. For this purpose, it
includes. Database with a library for generating different types of movements, for the different
instruments; a program mechanism for recording all the actions of the tools with the possibility of
reversing each of them; Information system about the patient's condition, including the history of
his illness, current values of vital signs (ECG, pulse, etc.), the medical file, information about
cardiac activity during the operation

Block B device and its functions
Block B implements the RMLI operator interface. It is designed based on gen4-IoD-28T (2.8"
TFT LCD module with Resistive Touch) of 4DSYSTEMS Company. More detailed information
can be found in 4DSystems, [24]. The device provides the operator with a full-fledged 2.8"
intelligent LCD-TFT display driven by ESP8266 GPU [25].
Figure 3. Device gen4-IoD-28T [24].
It is convenient to use with other devices. It has a 2.8'' color TFT LCD display with a resistive
touch screen. Supports Wi-Fi set of functions for the user. The Gen4-IoD-28T is easily
programmed with the 4D Systems Workshop4 package [26]. allows use of easy graphics
functions, SD functions, touch control functions, all integrated in one library. SD The design of
the user screen is done OFF LINE, by creating a project in the WORKSHOP4 program package
of the 4DSystems company, which works under Windows and includes a designer, editor and
compiler. A specialized C-like language was developed to design the various applications. It
allows the design of the graphical user interface, associates actions related to the created touch
buttons. After generating user executable code for an application, it is loaded via USB into the
processor's FLASH memory or an application library on the SD card. Only one application can
be launched, but during its execution it can load another one from the SD library and activate it.
The SD card can record and store operator data and actions. Block B communicates with Block A
over a serial interface connecting its ZIF socket built-in user UART to Block A's JN5168-001-
M00 UART0 using a dedicated communication protocol.
A Recon Jet™ Pro AR Dedicated Display [27] with virtual reality elements is possible to block
B. It is designed as smart glasses, in which an auxiliary display is installed, on which important
data about the patient's condition is projected, in addition to monitoring. Display data is sent via
Wi-Fi from unit B so the surgeon does not have to monitor the touch screen on unit B. The
dedicated display is autonomously powered and can be turned on or off as desired. Figure 4
shows the appearance of the dedicated display.

3. ARCHITECTURE AND FUNCTIONS OF A SPECIALIZED CONTROLLER FOR
MANAGEMENT OF RMLI AND DECG
A sensor module is fundamental in the structure of RMLI, made up of a communication wireless
micro-controller (which automatically makes it a network device) and built-in sensors for
measuring quantities related to the operation process of the laparoscopic instruments - pressure,
the level of CO2 in the abdominal cavity of the patient, temperature, humidity, ECG and other
indicators and parameters. In this way, the information received from these sensors can be made
available to the laparoscopic instruments of a given group and or the Operator Station using the
built wireless network of the group. The main element is the diagnostic device DECG, designed
to control important vital parameters during the operation. It is implemented as a wireless
network device that monitor the state of the operated patient in real time. This is done by
cyclically generating an ECG in digital form and sending it wirelessly to the Controller block A
of the laparoscopic instrument. In this block, an analysis of the received digital for parameters
such as pulse, heart activity, blood pressure, body temperature, etc. are carried out.
These parameters are measured in an area where the probe of the device is fixed. Several such
devices with different placement of the probes connected to the patient's body can be installed.
Thus, it becomes possible for the laparoscopic instrument to obtain a complex picture of his
condition. These measurements may be later used as primary data for further complex tasks such
as deep learning algorithms [28] or finite element calculations in various cases [29]. The
measured and specified data serve as feedback in the programs controlling the instrument, and
can also initiate an audible alarm message in the presence of dangerous deviations. These data are
present on the touch screen of the Controller block B (in graphic and digital form) and informs
the surgeon about the current state of the patient.
In the current project, this module is implemented as a mobile ECG. It measures the electrical
potential between two points on the human body, forms an ECG-gram and sends it on request
over the wireless network to the JN5168-001-M00.
A standard ECG uses electrodes connected to important points on the patient's body: 1. Right
arm, RA; 2. Left arm, LA; 3. Left leg, LL; 4. Right Leg, RL; 5. Chest, C.
Depending on the connection of the electrodes to the ECG sensor, different forms of the signals
and their amplitudes can be observed. Each pair of electrodes provides unique information about
the heart's activity.
The device consists of two modules:
Controller developed on the basis of JN5168-001-M00 [21];
Measurement developed on the basis of MAX30003 [30].
Figure 5 presents a schematic diagram of the developed controller.

The power supply is provided by the control module based on 5VDC received via USB cable
from USB interface or from 220V AC to USB converter.
The measuring module connects to the controller via SV1 (Figure 5)
The power supply of the instrument is provided by the control module based on 5V DC received
via USB cable from USB interface or from 220V AC to USB converter.
The control module controls the operation of the meter. It also ensures the communication of the
instrument via a wireless interface - uMAC [23] or wired - USB. The measurement module
generates the patient's ECG via two serviceable electrodes and sends the information via an
internal SPI interface to the controller.
Electrodes can be connected bipolar, unipolar and unipolar to the chest. Bipolar connected,
depending on the choice of contact points, can be divided into 3 groups: Lead I, Lead II or Lead
III, shown in figures 7 and 8.

Figure 9. Electrodes categories: (a)conventional Ag/AgCl, stainless-steel disc, (c) conductive foam and (d)

More information on electrodes can be found in [14, 15].
A specialized integrated circuit MAX30003 [30] was used for the implementation of the
diagnostic ECG device, performing all analog processing of the signals from the electrodes and
supporting an SPI interface with a wireless microcontroller JN5168-001-M00.
The device (DECG) includes: two ECG electrodes, integrated circuit MAX30003 (implementing
Ultra-Low-Power, Single-Channel Integrated Biopotential (ECG, R-to-R, and Pace Detection)
and Bioimpedance (BioZ) AFE) two-electrode device SPI connected to JN5168-001-M00. The
latter functions as a wireless network device, buffering the received digital information, and
sending it over the wireless network to block A (JN5168-001-M00 of this RMLI block), when
requested by the latter. The uMAC wireless network stack used to connect to the dedicated
controller is described in detail in [23]. Figure 10 shows the topological diagram of an uMAC
network designed to control laparoscopic instruments.

Figure 10. uMac Laparoscopy WLAN
As shown in Figure 10, only one thread, Thread 1, is used in this case (the standard uMAC
supports tree topology networks including up to 4080 threads, each of which implements an
autonomous subnet with unlimited length and a limited number of the nodes included in it up to
2805 [23]). The wireless network microcontrollers (R1, R2, R3, R4) controlling individual tools
to the robot (LP1, LR2, LP3, LP4) are four and are included in Thread 1, as Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN) Routers. Each of them contains in its memory an IEEE 802.15.4 stack, a uMac
stack, and a user program corresponding to the type of instrument it controls. The network
coordinator is denoted by ”C”. It is connected via a wired USB channel to a Personal Computer
in which the Local Operator Station resides. The coordinator creates the network, maintains
communication with the routers, and provides relaying of entries between routers and a local
management program. The IEEE 802.15.4 stack, the uMac stack and a user program responsible
for maintaining a communication protocol with the Local Control Program are loaded and
running in its memory.
The uMac stack is designed to work with means of controlling mechatronic objects, designed on
the basis of wireless microcontrollers JN5168 of the company NXP. The control system is
implemented as a wireless network, including two types of communication devices - "Gateway"
and "Controller". These devices function as coordinators of wireless networks (IEEE 802.15.4)
that do not include other nodes (empty LAN). The “Gateway” is designed based on the JN5168-
001-M00, functioning as a communicator and adapter, converting a serial channel (3.3V) to USB,
bi-directionally. "Controller" is designed based on JN5168 -001-M00 and a peripheral module
connected to it, controlling the sensors and actuators connected to the managed object. An
Operator Station has been developed to work under Windows (for a personal computer, laptop or
tablet), with possibilities for programming the tasks and monitoring the states of the managed
objects. Two logical channels are used to work with the Gateway - through the graphical
interface of the Operator Station or directly, via USB in InLine mode, through a special command
language. Block: Remote (figure 10) is intended for connection with remote wireless devices of
the type of the considered DECG diagnostic tool.

The block diagram of the Diagnostic Tool (DECG) is shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11. Diagnostic Tool Block Diagram (DECG)
The Diagnostic Tool (DECG) feeds the measured information via the µMAC protocol to Block A
of the Dedicated Controller, which via RS 232 C protocol feeds the gen4-IoD-28T information
(Block of the RMLI Dedicated Controller). Detailed information on the operation of the gen4-
IoD-28T is given in the description of Block B. The measured information is accumulated in a
local database on a SD card and is submitted to the RMLI Operator's Station upon request.
The operator station is connected to the Internet and could provide authorized online access to
external information sources and specialized databases. In the future, the possibility to save the
complete information about the patient's condition on a personal smart card will be considered.
This information could be used by the personal physician or other doctors monitoring the patient.
4. CONCLUSIONS
An intelligent operator panel has been developed, based on the use of a graphic touch screen, for
convenience of usage. The screen is used both for management and for information visualization
during the operating process. Additionally, for receiving and visualizing important messages
specialized glasses, using the method of virtual reality, has been implemented. Specialized
software has been developed for management of the various devices included in the RMLI, as
well as the realization of real-time diagnostic and test procedures of their functioning. The
software of the wireless device is developed in Tcl/Tk scripting language for operation under
Windows. Development of more autonomous devices is planned for diagnostics and other vital
indicators such as pulse, blood pressure, etc. to work together with the developed RMLI system.
The future work will consider development of a device incorporated into the RMLI that will
monitor and regulate the level of CO2 in the patient's abdominal cavity during operations.
The developed module DECG is able to function as a autonomous unit, independently from the
RMLI Operator's Station.
