How to be automatically authenticated to the DSS Node Print E-mail

How to be automatically authenticated to the DSS Node?

When you connect to the Robotics Studio GUI with a browser you should be automatuically authenticated to the DSS node. However, sometimes, depending on your settings, you are asked a user and password.

Using MSIE, the credentials are usually sent automatically. However, if you are using any other browser, you would need to provide the username and password of a local user with permission to run the DSS node. If you are joined to a domain, the username has to be written as follows: <domain>/<user>.

If you are using Internet Explorer, and you want to be automatically authenticated, you can try the following settings:

  • On the "Tools" Menu, select "Internet Options"
  • On the "Internet Options" dialog, select the "Security" Tab
  • On the "Security" property sheet, click on the "Local Intranet" zone icon (the globe with a monitor infront of it)
  • Still on the "Security" property sheet, click the "Custom level..." button.
  • In the "Security Settings - Local Intranet Zone" dialog scroll to the bottom of the "Settings" listbox.
  • Change the "User Authentication -> Logon" setting to either of the "Automatic Logon" selections.
  • Select "OK" to close the "Security Settings - Local Intranet Zone" dialog.
  • In the "Security" tab of the "Internet Options" dialog click on the button "Sites..."
  • In the "Local Intranet" dialog Ensure that all three options are selected.
  • In the "Local Intranet" dialog click on the "Advanced..." button.
  • Add the website address "http://localhost" to the zone by entering "http://localhost" in the "Add this Web site to the zone:" text box and then clicking on the "Add" button.
  • Ensure that the "Require server verification (https: ) for all sites in this zone" check box is not checked.
  • Select "OK" three times to close the dialogs.
  • Close all open browser windows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you still have problems, you might need to disable authentication in the DSS node. Follow the instructions at: http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/Channel9.SecurityFAQ.

Lenguaje de Programación Visual (VPL) Print E-mail

VPL - Lenguaje de Programación Visual (VPL)

 Microsoft Visual Programming Lenguaje (VPL) es un entorno que ofrece un modelo de programación gráfico y que permite una programación convencional. El objetivo de este lenguaje de programación es facilitar a programadores noveles el entendimiento de conceptos como variables o lógica. Sin embargo, no está limitado a programadores noveles, ya que llama la atención a programadores avanzados por su rápido prototipado o su generación de código.

Mientras que la caja de herramientas se adapta a aplicaciones de robótica, la arquitectura subyacente no está limitada sólo a este tipo de aplicaciones. Como resultado, VPL tiene una audiencia amplia, desde estudiantes a expertos programadores o aficionados.

El flujo de datos de VPL consiste en conectar secuencias de actividades representadas como bloques con entradas y salidas que pueden ser conectados con otros bloques (El pin derecho corresponde con la salida y el izquierdo con la entrada). Las actividades pueden representar tareas preconstruidas, control de flujo de datos, funciones u otros módulos de código. Por tanto, la aplicación final será una orquestación u ordenación de procesos (servicios de MSRS).

Los bloques contienen los nombres de la propia actividad y las fronteras de ella. También pueden contener diferentes atributos o gráficos que definen la finalidad de la actividad. Además, una actividad puede tener múltiples conexiones de entradas y sus correspondientes conexiones de salida. Una conexión de salida puede representar varias cosas: un resultado o una notificación.

Para crear una aplicación con VPL sólo hay que elegir en el menú del programa la opción VPL load. Aparecerá un tapiz donde pondremos los bloques de nuestra aplicación. A la izquierda tenemos la caja de herramientas de actividades básicas, de la que obtendremos las actividades necesarias en cada momento. Debajo de esta, tenemos la caja de herramientas de los servicios compatibles con VPL. Una vez seleccionado un servicio, tenemos dos opciones: crear uno nuevo o crear la referencia al servicio.

Además tenemos la ventana con las propiedades del elemento seleccionado y la ventana que incluye los archivos incluidos en el proyecto.

Un servicio necesita saber su estado inicial y también las relaciones con los llamados Partner Service, citados anteriormente. Debemos configurarlos, con opciones como la velocidad o el tipo de puerto que usa.

Una vez conectados los bloques, el proyecto se puede ejecutar y subsanar los errores que aparezcan. Además, se podrá generar código del proyecto realizado. Este código se genera en C # y puede servir como punto de partida para crear aplicaciones más complejas.

This video from the series Conversations with History entitled Consciousness and the Biology of the Brain is an enterview with Christof Koch presented by The Instite of International Studies of the University of California at Berkeley.

 Host Harry Kreisler welcomes neurobiologist Christof Koch for a discussion of what biology can tell us about consciousness. He discusses the framework for defining the problem which he developed with Nobel Laureate Francis Crick. He reflects on the ongoing revolution in our understanding of the brain and how technology is impacting the transformation of our neuronal correlates of consciousness. He also discusses the implications of his research for our understanding of man’s place in the universe. Series: Conversations with History.

WowWee Rovio Print E-mail
Written by Raúl Arrabales Moreno   
Tuesday, 08 January 2008

The creators of Robosapien WowWee are preparing a new robot called Rovio that has been presented at CES 2008 and will be available this summer and it will cost around 200 Euro. 

Rovio is an omnidirectional wheeled robot equipped with an onboard webcam. The robot can be controlled from anywhere using a PC and the images of the webcam can be also visualized. Even the camera angle can be remotelly controlled in order to inspect the surroundings of the robot. It can be used for surveillance, and remote listening and talking. Rovio is also able to automatically navigate to the nearer charging station.

 

The following video is a Rovio demo at CES 2008:
