The technological breakthroughs and developments made both online and on mobile devices has enabled the deployment of services that can be used by users without being in a fixed physical location or require transporting equipment with high computational processing power channel , this release has allowed people greater mobility and generating new business models based on e-commerce, to ensure an adequate service level a constant monitoring action is required to detect failures and shortcomings in timely manner without implying that staff is permanently in the management center . This paper presents the methodology, development and benefits of a prototype that allows visual access and ubiquitous real-time behavioral information and status of network devices from a mobile device requiring only a Web browser that can run the HTML5 and JavaScript protocol.

Haptic interfaces are robotic devices that let the user touch virtual reality scenarios. Comparing with classic industrial robotics, in which robots are confined in workcells doing repetitive tasks, we can say that the haptic interfaces have a handle as end-effector to let the user grasp it. That is why, haptic interfaces are also considered as human-computer interface, that not only let a cursor in the computer move in a virtual 3D space, but also if this cursor ‘collides’ to a virtual object, the user will perceive this interaction as if they were interacting to real objects.Typical applications of haptic robotics are in video games, CAD design tools and simulators (ex. driving, machine assembly, surgery planning, etc) where the aim is to achieve a higher immersion level.Thus the aim of this paper is to present the control board EOS v.2.0, providing a low cost solution for the control of haptic systems.The EOS was implemented using FPGA technology (Field Programmable Gate Array).

This work presents the control system strategy implemented in a new cooperative human-robot system for transpedicular fixation, a type of spine surgery consisting in the immobilization of two or more vertebrae by means of screws and metal bars. The prototype uses a PA-10 robotic arm. The main parts of the control strategy are the admittance module and the generation of virtual fixtures (active constraints) that assist the surgeon and prevents contact with surrounding critical areas. The virtual fixtures are obtained directly from the surgical plan with the purpose of increasing the precision in screw insertion and having safer interventions, reducing radiation doses, invasiveness and the probability of error. Differing from other surgery robotic assistants, the one proposed in this work offers a larger workspace and a degree of versatility that permits its adaptation to different types of surgeries.
