The aim of this study is to design an innovative approach to calibrate electromyography (EMG) data in order to detect the intention to lift or put down a charge while wearing an upper-limb exoskeleton. Based on a low-cost EMG sensor bracelet placed around the arm (Myo armband, Thalmics Lab, Ontario), a subject-specific mapping procedure is implemented to discriminate motion intentions during lifting tasks with a 1-DoF upper-limb exoskeleton. The processing is divided into two main parts: (i) Direction estimation with an artificial neural network, and (ii) A model-based intensity prediction. The mapping procedure has been tested on 7 healthy participants with a precision of 96.9 ± 3.1% for the classification and a RMS Error of 3.8 ± 0.8 $N$ at the end effector.

This method is also known as system identification. Many real-time systems are inherently closed loop systems. Moreover, it is not possible to get data from an open loop system in process industry. In such cases, closed loop system identification is useful. In system identification, selection of model structure is critical. In this paper, a first order integer model and four different fractional models were identified for a DC motor in closed loop. Fractional order model parameters were optimized by minimization of sum of squared errors (SSE), using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Results show that fractional order models fit better than first order integer model. Among the four fractional models identified, the fractional model with least parameters yielded best result.","PeriodicalId":111606,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Mechatronics, Robotics and Systems Engineering (MoRSE)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126676877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But the amount is still very small compared to the other existing potentials. The classic issue in the utilization of solar energy is intermittent solar energy and power fluctuations. The power of the PV is not fixed, unpredictable and dependent on natural factors, namely irradiation, temperature and the influence of shadows. Several methods have been proposed to overcome intermittent energy and fluctuations in PV power including the Hybrid PV Generators, Power Curtailment, Geographical Dispersed, and Electrical Storage methods. Each method has characteristics in its application. Hybrid PV generators are relatively easy to apply but they are expensive and cause greenhouse gases. Power Curtailment is easy to apply but it is inefficient because a lot of energy is wasted. Geographical Dispersed requires large land. Electrical storage requires a large energy storage capacity. To overcome this, a new method is proposed, namely Dynamic Power Injection which is a combination of MPPT, Power Curtailment, and Electrical Storage. A comparative study with simulation using Simulink Matlab against 3 methods of PV power stabilization was conducted. The simulation results show that the DPI method is the most effective and efficient way to increase the stability of PV power.","PeriodicalId":111606,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Mechatronics, Robotics and Systems Engineering (MoRSE)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130955773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SC-FDMA is preferred for LTE uplink mainly due to its advantage of having low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) during signal transmission. The performance of SC-FDMA depends on modulation scheme used for it. In this paper performance of SC-FDMA for LTE uplink is compared on the basis of symbol error rate (SER) using different types of modulation schemes, like, binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). Also the performance of SC-FDMA is compared with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). In this paper, mainly variation of symbol error rate (SER) with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is investigated. It is found that by increasing spreading factor symbol error rate is reduced for SC-FDMA system and for spreading factor of 64 for SNR=20 dB, SER is of the order of 10−4. A comparison of SER for SC-FDMA system with BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM shows that BPSK has lowest SER. When compared between localized and distributed mappings for SC-FDMA and OFDM, it is found that localized schemes have lower SER for both the cases than distributed scheme.","PeriodicalId":111606,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Mechatronics, Robotics and Systems Engineering (MoRSE)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133119774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As these cracks reduce the safety of road traffic, regular inspections are necessary. In recent years, various crack detection methods using pavement images have been proposed. However, those often have problems with accuracy and processing time. Therefore, in order to reduce the amount of calculation, we devised an efficient method to narrow down the area containing cracks in the pavement image. The method consists of crack feature extraction combining Gaussian mixture model and image filtering, and classification by support vector machine. The experimental results show that our proposed method is the most efficient in accuracy and processing speed compared with conventional methods.","PeriodicalId":111606,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Mechatronics, Robotics and Systems Engineering (MoRSE)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114564985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modeling the MRS is a crucial aspect of designing the proper system architecture, because this model can be used to simulate and measure the performance of the proposed architecture. However, an MRS architecture modeling is a very difficult problem, as it contains many dependent behaviors that dynamically change due to the current state of the system. In this paper, we introduce a general-purpose MRS case study, where the humans initiate requests that are achieved by the available robots. These requests require different plans that use the current capabilities of the available robots. After proposing an architecture that defines the solution components, three steps are followed. Firstly, modeling these components via a proper Architecture Description Language (ADL). Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is used as an ADL to represent the behaviors of every component, which is an essential need to model the solution. Secondly, simulating these components behaviors and interaction in form of software agents. Java Agent Development (JADE) middleware is used to develop the proposed model. JADE is based on a reactive agent approach, therefore it can simulate the dynamically interaction among the solution components. Finally, analyze the performance of the solution by defining a number of quantitative measurements, which can be obtained while simulating the system model, therefore the solution can be analyzed and compared to another architecture.","PeriodicalId":111606,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Mechatronics, Robotics and Systems Engineering (MoRSE)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124033438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
