The purpose is to play a little game in order to show remote control over the public internet. Users are able to interact with the demo remotely through the web interface. This demonstrates an straight forward approach for remote robot operation independent from a specific device. Any current web browser running on a commercial off-the-shelf computer or mobile phone can be used to interact with the demo. However, it also shows the limitations of this kind of robot control. Dependent on the user's location and network connection, different amounts of latency come into play. Within this demo this effects the difficulty, as only fast or precise movements are possible.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} }

However, with the advancement of automation through digitization and softwarization of dedicated hardware, applications are also becoming more susceptible to random hardware errors in the calculation. This cyber-physical demonstrator uses a robotic application to show the effects that even single bit flips can have in the real world due to hardware errors. Using the graphical user interface including the human machine interface, the audience can generate hardware errors in the form of bit flips and see their effects live on the robot. In this paper we will be showing a new technology, the SIListra Safety Transformer (SST), that makes it possible to detect those kind of random hardware errors, which can subsequently make safety-critical applications more reliable.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inproceedings} }
