Motorized pan/tilt head control over the internet: Stabilization under existence of pointwise-in-time constraints and unforeseeable delays and losses

This paper shows a practical design example of the remote control system of a motorized pan/tilt head we made, and illustrates some experimental results to validate the remote control technique of the previous work. The control technique utilizes an appropriate quantization of feedback signals, transmitted over network communication links, in order to guarantee both stability of the whole system and constraint satisfaction.
