PyIgH : A unified architecture of IgH EtherCAT Master based on Python considering hard real-time constraints

The increasing demand for rapid application development tools, especially those employing high-level languages such as Python, has underscored the importance of utilizing a wide array of popular libraries while addressing real-time constraints in distributed hardware systems. This paper introduces PyIgH, a unified architecture of an IgH EtherCAT master based on Python, specifically designed to satisfy hard real-time requirements in an EtherCAT network. Implemented as a Python module, PyIgH exposes the functionalities and capabilities of an open-source EtherCAT master, facilitating seamless configuration and control of EtherCAT slave devices within the Python runtime environment. Real-time adaptation of the POSIX library, encapsulated within Python, is also utilized to satisfy the timing requirements of EtherCAT. The feasibility of the proposed approach is verified by analyzing the real-time performance in terms of periodicity and in-controller delay of the EtherCAT control task with a 1 kHz cycle. Experimental results demonstrate that PyIgH is suitable for hard real-time applications and serves as a valid alternative to conventional low-level EtherCAT masters. Additionally, a practical application involving motion control of a six-axis collaborative robot showcases consistent performance of PyIgH within a real-time multi-tasking environment.

Systems engineering issues for industry applications of large language model

Large language model (LLM) is an important direction in the development of AGI, but its technology is still in rapid change, and its capabilities still have obvious deficiencies and imbalances, with persistent problems such as hallucination, value non-alignment, weak specialization, and black-box effect. In this case, how to apply LLM to different professional fields and develop high-quality AIGC industry applications has become a great challenge for ISVs. Building AIGC industry applications based on LLM is not simply a matter of functional realization. Although researchers and open-source communities have proposed numerous application development frameworks or tool components, there is a lack of overall architecture design for systems engineering and a lack of discussion on theories and methods of LLM application development in large-scale industry domains, such as healthcare, government affairs, finance, and media. This paper analyzes the basic ideas of LLM industry applications development, defines the functional requirements and feature requirements of LLM industry applications, puts forward the concept of Large Language Model Systems Engineering (LLM-SE), and develops an AI assisted clinical risk prediction system for amyloidosis disease based on the architecture of LLM-SE, which adopt knowledge engineering, quality engineering, etc., and verifies the LLM-SE development architecture and methodology.

Immersive Visualization of Python Coding Using Virtual Reality

The main goal of this study is to develop a mobile Virtual Reality (VR) application to conduct basic Python coding skills for university students who are struggling to learn to code. This study employs a quasi-experimental method to examine the difference in the efficiency of VR and traditional learning methods by evaluating the students' performance. Thirty students between 18 to 22 years old participated. The participants were divided into two control groups, in which one group used the conventional python learning method while another implemented the VR application in python learning. Unity 3D was used as the application development tool with Mobile Application Development Lifecycle (MADLC). The developed VR application was employed using Google cardboard to create an immersive VR experience. Usability tests, hypothesis tests, Presence Questionnaires (PQ) and system usability scale (SUS) are used as evaluation tools. Findings illustrated how learning through VR has yielded better performance than the conventional learning method. In hypothesis testing, the VR learning method suggested more effective learning with t_statistic value of 4.992, a more considerable value than t_critical=2.76. 73% of the participants rated above 68 out of 100, which indicated high levels of satisfaction with the use of the mobile VR application to learn Python.

A Review on Augmented Reality Authoring Toolkits for Education

Creating pedagogically sound, interactive Augmented Reality (AR) experiences supporting situated and experiential learning remains a challenge to teachers without programming skills. To integrate AR in the everyday classroom, teachers need to be capable of designing their own immersive experiences for their students, which is why an analysis of existing authoring toolkits is necessary to identify suitable tools for educational application development and future research directions in terms of educational AR. We identified “easy access”, “GUI-based design”, and “interactive contents” as needs of teachers for designing AR content for the classroom. Based on these needs, we conducted a literature review of 835 documents. Of 80 relevant articles, we included 43 peer-reviewed articles from ACM Digital Library, DBLP, IEEExplore, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and miscellaneous other sources in our analysis. We identified 69 different AR authoring toolkits and classified these with regard to their accessibility, their degree of required programming knowledge, and their interactivity. The results show a divergent research landscape with a lack of empirical evaluation. Of 26 openly accessible toolkits, we identified five toolkits addressing the defined needs of teachers for designing interactive AR experiences for the classroom without requiring extensive programming knowledge. We conclude that there are only few tools for the straightforward design of educational AR experiences addressing the needs of teachers and suggest using research-informed and evidence-based criteria for developing AR authoring toolkits for education.

Measuring Cognition Load Using Eye-Tracking Parameters Based on Algorithm Description Tools.

Writing a computer program is a complex cognitive task, especially for a new person in the field. In this research an eye-tracking system was developed and applied, which allows the observation of eye movement parameters during programming as a complex, cognitive process, and the conclusions can be drawn from the results. The aim of the paper is to examine whether the flowchart or Nassi–Shneiderman diagram is a more efficient algorithm descripting tool for describing cognitive load by recording and evaluating eye movement parameters. The results show that the case of the interpreting flowchart has significantly longer fixation duration, more number of fixations, and larger pupil diameter than the case of the Nassi–Shneiderman diagram interpreting. Based on the results of the study, it is clear how important it is to choose the right programming tools for efficient and lower cost application development.

In this fast-paced era, the need for precise, fast, and accurate information is something that must be done. Effectiveness and efficiency should be carried out according to needs so that the information can be relevant to its users. Thus, the registration information system, which has been manual in agencies or organizations, can be changed to online with accurate and timely data. Likewise, the Tamansari Religious Affairs Office in Bogor Regency. The current marriage registration system at the Tamansari Bogor Regency Office of Religious Affairs is no longer in line with the current development. The current system does not use computers as data processing tools, the results are still not well structured. Especially for processing the data of the prospective bride and groom. In this system, what is processed is registration data, bridal data, guardian data, witness data, admin data, and other data. The problem that occurs at this time is that the processed data feels slow, the resulting report has to pass data collection several times. In the information system to fulfill this final project, we will explain how to design and build a web-based marriage registration information system. The tools used in designing this system are MySQL, Entity Relational Diagrams, and Data Flow Diagrams, while for data collection using observation, interviews, and literature study. Meanwhile, database application development tools use MySQL and the programming language uses PHP. From this application, the benefits of data processing of brides, guardians, witnesses, etc. will be automatically obtained. Reports can also help by showing what is needed to process data quickly and easily.
