This paper proposed a new teaching technique for engineering courses based on the implementation of drone technology. In some engineering related courses, teaching and learning are difficult due to very complex theoretical and technical explanation need to be digested by the non experienced students. In Malaysia, quadcopter is one of the technologies that become popular among young generation due...
Many of the existing plant species on the earth are still unknown. There are different kinds of plant species and it has been subject of interest on how to identify their species. However, the current practice to identify and distinguish each species is heavily dependent on botanists. It is inefficient and wasteful of resources in terms of time and money. Moreover, our human sensory system's limitation...
This paper presents the instability problem of a broadcast control framework for multi-agent systems in executing certain motion coordination tasks. First, response of unstable solution using a standard broadcast control framework is demonstrated by choosing one motion coordination task as an example of the unstable case. In order to solve the problem, the standard broadcast control framework has...
Now a days, smart grid is an emerging technology to increase the optimal use of generated power and reduce the electricity cost. Globally, various schemes in this aspect have been proposed like DR, DSM, AMI, RTP, TOU, etc. This paper presents a survey on some scheduling and optimization techniques for home appliances to use the energy efficiently with a minimum cost. The focus of this paper is on...
This survey Paper is an ingathering of a comprehensive study of user comfort in smart grid. It is a compounding of different arenas of engineering like communication, electronics, management and power. Many techniques, like demand response, demand side management, real time pricing, time of use, home energy management, etc, are explained according to their role in Smart Homes (She). This is the short...
This paper presents the implementation of four channel Electromyography (EMG) signal acquisition system for acquiring the EMG signal of the lower limb muscles during ankle joint movements. Furthermore, some post processing and statistical analysis for the recorded signal were presented. Four channels were implemented using instrumentation amplifier (INA114) for pre-amplification stage then the amplified...
This study is to measure and investigate the muscle contraction during lifting tasks activities with the effect of different loads, height, angle of twisting and lifting frequency. This study involved 14 male and female participants performed the lifting tasks with different weight loads of 10kg to 24kg into the height position of 70cm and 130cm at the frequency of 1 and 6 lifts per minute with 0°...
Service-based architectures have now become commonplace, creating the need to address their systematic maintenance and evolution. We propose to enable transformation-driven evolution for service architectures in a semi-automated fashion. In contrast to the existing solutions like service wrapping, migration or run-time adaptation etc., the proposal supports primitive and customisable architectural...
This paper presents investigations into the development of hybrid control schemes for sway suppression and rotational angle tracking of a rotary crane system. A lab-scaled rotary crane is considered and the dynamic model of the system is derived using the Euler-lagrange formulation. To study the effectiveness of the controllers, initially a collocated proportional-derivative (PD) controller is developed...
