This paper presents a new system architecture for controlling industrial devices using Mixed Reality (MR) applications and a new method based upon them for measuring the distance between real and virtual points. The research has been carried out using a physical robot and its Digital Twin (DT). The possibility of controlling them using gestures recognized by Mixed Reality goggles has been presented.

This paper presents a new measurement system called a self-acoustic system (SAS), which uses frequency measurements of acoustic waves to determine the condition of concrete structures. The SAS uses a positive feedback loop between ultrasonic heads, which causes excitation to a stable limit cycle.
