A human machine interface for distributed virtual laboratories

摘要

To support a distributed virtual laboratory, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University has developed Onika, an ironically programmed human machine interface with hypermedia capabilities. Onika can retrieve reconfigurable real-time software modules from remote sites via the Internet or World Wide Web and integrate these modules with locally developed modules. Developers can then use Onika to assemble the resulting reusable code into applications in order to control both local and remote robotic systems.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
