Abstract
Research equipment, experiment control devices and even industrial equipment, typically require individuals to be present to make use of that equipment. In many cases, this requires researchers to travel to the equipment or move the equipment to specific locations and operate it. With network connectivity becoming more available, even in remote locations, remote operation of such equipment is increasingly possible. This can reduce travel costs, increase the efficiency of use of such equipment and even help with safety. This paper describes work on the creation of a software platform of generic services for access to and use of devices for research, education and potentially for industrial use. The current set of services, the underlying middleware and architecture of the platform are described. Use of the platform to develop remote operation services for a mechatronics laboratory for use by engineering students is presented. The longer term goal is to make the software available to researchers to allow better remote access to experiments in environments such as undersea, deep space, high radiation, and toxic gases.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
