This interaction between humans and computer systems can be done through various methods. Gesture recognition offers a natural and intuitive way for interaction. It is a natural and effective mean of communication and interaction for hearing-impaired people. Gestural cue is a category of non-verbal communication in which noticeable body actions transfer specific messages. This paper presents a gesture recognition system for the development of a Human Computer Interaction (HCI) using Leap Motion Sensor (LMS). LMS is a device proficient with tracking hand motions or gestures. The objective of this research is development of an HCI system that will convert sign language to text for hearing impaired people. Through hand or body gestures, the disabled can easily convey their message to the caregiver or robot. Sign language has been known for providing natural and intuitive way to interact with computers or machines and robots. We are employing three recognition techniques of Sign Language to Text Conversion (SLTC) to determine the performance of the model. Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Geometric Template Matching and Cross Correlation techniques were employed for static gesture recognition and the best results were acquired from geometric template matching.","PeriodicalId":207523,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Engineering and Emerging Technologies (ICEET)","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115157339","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}

Moreover, fault detection and recovery are importantly required for every fully automatic system. The presented work describes influence of qualitative trends of the data streams coming from IMU sensor, Odometry senso, and Mapping in order to detect faulty creation of the map of an environment at runtime. It detects qualitative trends (inc, dec, con) within sensors data using a special software entity called Binary Qualitative Observer (BiQObs). BiQObs takes two data streams from robot sensors, extracts their qualitative trends, and finally compares these trends to find out whether they match or not. The work comprises of basically three main activity phases: Observe, Detect Fault and Repair Fault. First phase Observe uses BiQObs for generating and observing trends in sensors data specifically YAW measurement of the robotic pose from three different sources namely IMU, odometry, and pose from mapping. Besides BiQObs, two more observers namely Node Observer (NObs) and General observer (GObs) are also used for monitoring system nodes and their topics. Second phase Detect Fault uses Diagnosis Model Server and Diagnosis Engine to detect the root cause of the fault caused by mismatch between qualitative trends. Last phase Repair Fault uses Diagnosis Repair Engine and action servers for repairing the diagnosed fault. Finally experimental results are evaluated using the scenario of mapping of an unknown environment with Pioneer-3DX robot equipped with SICK laser and IMU sensors. Evaluation process successfully detects fault like incorrect odometry due to slippage of wheels, and brings the case in normal situation in a remarkable time of 13.54 seconds.","PeriodicalId":207523,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Engineering and Emerging Technologies (ICEET)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115779434","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}

For a time being the whole network is isolated due to dying nodes and the overall lifetime of the network is decreased. Thus, the big challenge in WSANs systems is to prolong the lifetime of the network by solving the Hotspot problem. The lifetime of the network is directly based on the energy consumption of the network. Several challenges are associated with this problem like delays in the network, data packets losses, decrement of lifetime and throughput of the network. Therefore, its need to investigate the issue of Hotspot problem with the help of some energy aware technique. In this paper, the Energy-Aware Distributed Sink Algorithm is introduced to rescue the Hotspot issue in Wireless Sensors and Actors Network (WSANs). The proposed algorithm is formally analyzed with the help of Formal Methods based specification language. For the verification and validation of the proposed algorithm, the Vienna development Method Specification-Language Tool Box (VDM-SL) is used. Both the dynamic and static models are developed to ensure the correctness of the algorithm with some pre/post conditions, invariants, and attributes.","PeriodicalId":207523,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Engineering and Emerging Technologies (ICEET)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115480566","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}

The revolution in robotics and automation also introduces the concept of robotic farming that has the benefits to grow and inspect the food items more effectively.

Therefore, a Self-Sustained Farming System (SFS) is designed that has the capability to flourish a small agricultural area without any intervention of the farmer. The SFS is also effective in such terrains where conventional farming is difficult. The design of the SFS makes it capable to perform multiple tasks, such as weeding, seed injection, and soil moisture measurement. Moreover, the SFS changes the daily watering pattern for different plants with respect to the weather conditions of the area. Furthermore, the cloud interface of the SFS provides the feature of continuous updated remote assessment of the SFS system parameters. The SFS has another advantage to work both in grid-connected and off-grid (solar powered) mode. A detailed cost analysis of real-time data of SFS is conducted with respect to the saving of water and energy resources. The scope of the SFS is not limited to small kitchen gardens, the SFS is scalable to big garden and vegetation farms.","PeriodicalId":207523,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Engineering and Emerging Technologies (ICEET)","volume":"886 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134097082","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}

The proposed multilevel inverter in this research is a specialized equipment deployed in Distributed Generation (DG) integrated with National Grid. Distributed generation requires inverters for energy flow between DC source and grid. Keeping in view the importance of inverters an effective inverter with multi stages has been proposed which will not only perform its energy flow duty from DC source to load but also reduce the signal pollution in terms of harmonics. This paper further highlights the application of inverters in various generation sources such as fuel and Photovoltaic (PV) cells. Main focus of this research is on improving the efficiency and quality of output voltage waveform which may contain severe harmonics from DG sources. Multilevel inverter is one of the most modern emerged and popular type of invention utilized in alternative high power applications. Selective harmonic elimination stepped waveform (SHESW) method is utilized to snub prominent lower order harmonics from resulting waveform. This research particularly compares various multilevel inverters and highlights the suitability of three phase eleven-level inverter for proposed DG system. Results show successful operation and effective mitigation of harmonics reported from DG system for the improvement of power quality.
