This paper is devoted to the issues of the fuzzy automatic control of the pyrolysis process of municipal solid waste (MSW) of variable composition and moisture content. The fuzzy control method that is developed and studied makes it possible to carry out the proper automatic control of a pyrolysis plant with the determination of the optimal ratio of air/MSW for various types of waste and with different...
This research should help scholars and practitioners to manage the transition of monolithic legacy application systems to microservices and to better understand the migration process, its steps, and its characteristics. It should also provide guidance on how best to approach the migration process. We performed a systematic literature review and analyzed migration approaches presented by other research...
Nowadays, violence has a major impact in society. Violence metrics increasing very rapidly reveal a very alarming situation. Many violent events go unnoticed. Over the last few years, autonomous vehicles have been used to observe and recognize abnormalities in human behavior and to classify them as crimes or not. Detecting crime on live streams requires classifying an event as a crime or not a crime...
This developed modified ant colony algorithm includes an additional improvement with local optimization methods, which reduces the time required to find a solution to the problem of optimization of combinatorial order sequence planning in a food enterprise. The planning problem requires consideration of a number of partial criteria, constraints, and an evaluation function to determine the effectiveness...
Path planning plays a vital role in a mobile robot navi‐ gation system. It essentially generates the shortest tra‐ versable path between two given points. There are many path planning algorithms that have been proposed by re‐ searchers all over the world; however, there is very little work focussing on path planning for a service environ‐ ment. The general assumption is that either the environ‐ ment...
The paper presents a design for a six-axis manipulator. The design consists of specially designed solutions for housing, planetary gearboxes, and electronics. The manipulator is controlled by a supervisory control system. The use of a series of measuring elements allows tracking of the current position of each axis. This can be used to create a cascade control loop with velocity and acceleration feed-forward...
In this paper, the processing of the data of a 3D light detection and distance measurement (LiDAR) sensor mounted on a mobile robot is demonstrated, introducing an innovative methodology to manage the data and extract useful information. The LiDAR sensor is placed on a mobile robot which has a modular design that permits the easy change of the number of wheels, was designed to travel through several...
This paper presents a method of selection of configuration for manipulators of portable robots for special purposes. An analysis of tasks and related requirements for the functionality of the manipulator was presented on the example of the portable PIAP Patrol robot. From the set of robot tasks, the tasks that had the greatest impact on the manipulator parameters were selected. Both kinematic and...
This paper presents the development of an automated guided vehicle with omni-wheels for autonomous navigation under a robot operating system framework. Specifically, a laser rangefinder-constructed two-dimensional environment map is integrated with a three-dimensional point cloud map to achieve real-time robot positioning, using the oriented features from accelerated segment testing and a rotated...
We present the results of an exploratory analysis of hu‐ man attitudes toward the social robot Vector. The study was conducted on natural language data (2,635 com‐ ments) retrieved from Reddit and YouTube. We describe the tag‐set used and the (manual) annotation procedure. We present and compare attitude structures mined from Reddit and YouTube data. Two main findings are descri‐ bed and discussed:...
The application of quadcopter and intelligent learning techniques in urban monitoring systems can improve flexibility and efficiency features. This paper proposes a cloud-based urban monitoring system that uses deep learning, fuzzy system, image processing, pattern recognition, and Bayesian network. The main objectives of this system are to monitor climate status, temperature, humidity, and smoke,...
In alignment with smart city initiatives, Malaysia is shifting its educational landscape to a smart learning environment. The Ministry of Education (MoE) has made History a mandatory subject for passing the Malaysian Certificate of Education to grow awareness and instil patriotism among Malaysian students. However, History has been known as one of the difficult subjects to study for many students...
This paper presents a method for automatically measuring plants’ heights in indoor hydroponic plantations using the OpenCV library and the Python programming language. Using the elaborated algorithm and Raspberry Pi-driven system with an external camera, the growth process of multiple pak choi cabbages (Brassica rapa L. subsp. Chinensis) was observed. The main aim and novelty of the presented research...
In this research, a model of a robotic manipulator flexible structure and an equation of motion for controller design is planned. The structural material chosen for the robot structure was a hybrid composite. A comparison study was carried out for the aluminium 6082 alloy for the flexible manipulator arm application. Vibration behavior and control implementation was analyzed by adding joint flexibility...
Formation control is an important part of any system that utilizes multiple mobile agents to achieve its parti‐ cular goals. One of those applications is the mobile wi‐ reless network sensor. This field has become increasingly more popular in recent times due to the advancement of technology, especially in the fields of miniaturization and telecommunications. The main problem of this research is the...
Cloud computing has emerged as a significant technology domain, primarily due to the emergence of big data, machine learning, and quantum computing applications. While earlier, cloud computing services were focused mainly on providing storage and some infrastructures/ platforms for applications, the need to advance computational power analysis of massive datasets. It has made cloud computing almost...
The number of automobiles on the road grows in lockstep with the advancement of vehicle manufacturing. Road accidents appear to be on the rise, owing to this growing proliferation of vehicles. Accidents frequently occur in our daily lives, and are the top ten causes of mortality from injuries globally. It is now an important component of the worldwide public health burden. Every year, an estimated...
The rapid development of robotics involves human‐robot interaction (HRI). It is a necessary to assess user satis‐ faction to develop HRI effectively. Thus, HRI calls for in‐ terdisciplinary research, including psychological instru‐ ments such as survey questionnaire design. Here, we pre‐ sent a factor analysis of a Polish version of the Godspeed Questionnaire (GSQ) used to measure user satisfaction...
The rapid development of automatic control and robotics requires an innovative approach to teaching. This is especially important in the case of studies at the academic level and in vocational schools, where training with expensive robotic stations is necessary. A solution to this problem may be substituting these with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) due to their significantly lower...
This paper focuses on trajectory tracking control for ro‐ bot manipulators. While much research has been done on this issue, many other aspects of this field have not been fully addressed. Here, we present a new solution using feedforward controller to eliminate parametric uncer‐ tainties and unknown disturbances. The Takagi‐Sugeno fuzzy descriptor system (TSFDS) is chosen to describe the dynamic...
