This paper outlines some key differences between forward and inverse kinematic control, and the derivation complexity of such, for Serial Kinematic Manipulators (SKM's) versus Parallel Kinematic Manipulators (PKM's). The IK of a single quasi-serial manipulator was derived, and subsequently validated using the physical model and an Arduino script. The workspace of this same mechanism was determined via an empirical method, and compared to an analytically derived workspace using MATLAB. Finally, a two-quasi-serial PKM was proposed and described.","PeriodicalId":215514,"journal":{"name":"2020 International SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA Conference","volume":"95 19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123399877","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}

DGA is a reliable diagnostic tool used in power transformers to detect incipient faults developing inside the transformer. The detection of incipient faults enables early scheduling of preventative maintenance and hence prevention of transformer damage. Recently, natural ester oils have been introduced to power transformers as an alternative oil. The application of natural ester oils in power transformers requires a guideline for the application of DGA in this type of oil. The creepage discharges are generated by applying 28 kV to a needle-plane configuration configured at an acute angle. The dissolved gases result reveal that similar gases are generated in the ester and mineral oil while the quantity of dissolved gases is high in the ester oil than the mineral oil. The key dissolved gas was found to be hydrogen. The Duval's triangle and the IEEE key gas diagnostic technique correctly identify the fault while the IEC 60599 fails to identify the fault. The IEC 60599 requires modifications for use in transformers filled with canola oil.","PeriodicalId":215514,"journal":{"name":"2020 International SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA Conference","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126268249","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 landings presented in this paper require reliability and high levels of accuracy. The UAV can not rely on traditional GPS for localisation, instead, it makes use of specialised landing pads and onboard cameras. The solutions presented rely on the assumption that landing targets are static. The paper presents the design of 3 different landing pads and evaluates their effectiveness in a simulation environment designed to replicate the real-world and physical UAV as close as possible. The robustness of the proposed solution is evaluated by varying external factors. The paper also addresses state machine design to ensure reliable and safe landings. Other methods of achieving accurate landings are also discussed. Statistical simulation results are obtained using a fusion between Gazebo simulator, ROS and PX4 autopilot flight software.","PeriodicalId":215514,"journal":{"name":"2020 International SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA Conference","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134222423","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}

Because the results are locally optimal at best, finding a good solution to a poorly-defined problem necessitates an unbiased initialization technique that facilitates broad exploration of the solution space over multiple attempts, but the problem is unlikely to solve at all if the guess is too far from feasible. In this paper, we attempt to navigate this trade-off between randomness and reliability using ‘silly walks': stochastically-generated gaits that satisfy some of the problem's feasibility constraints. We present a simple method of generating these motions, and compare the performance of this type of guess to various random sampling approaches. Through tests on a pendulum, hopper and quadrupedal model, we demonstrate that the silly walk offers a favourable balance of reliability, convergence time and solution diversity for legged locomotion problems.","PeriodicalId":215514,"journal":{"name":"2020 International SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA Conference","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134259783","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}

Ensuring that young children have a solid foundation in simple mathematical concepts is a worldwide goal and new methods to improve arithmetic learning are constantly being developed. Our aim is to utilise machine learning to assist learners with developing their basic mathematics skills by identifying the types of problems a user struggles with and presenting them with targeted questions to improve in these areas. In this paper we focus only on the prediction component: given a set of arithmetic questions and corresponding answers, can we predict which future questions a user will answer incorrectly? The accuracy and suitability of four machine learning models are evaluated using data from computer-generated agents as well as human users. On simulated agents, our models achieve accuracies of around 79% to 96% with decision trees performing the best. On human data, our models achieve accuracies in the range of 63% to 69%, with the decision tree once again outperforming other approaches. We hope that these error predictions models could be incorporated into future E-learning systems targeted at human arithmetic learning.","PeriodicalId":215514,"journal":{"name":"2020 International SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133685027","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}

Wide area protection is a protection technique that uses system wide information obtained from Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) to detect a fault to mitigate cascading failures. Different algorithms have been developed making use of wide area measurement to provide protection to the power system. This study investigated the performance of a wide area protection technique which detects faults by forming protection zones based on the PMU placement and the network topology. The technique makes use of Positive Sequence Voltage Magnitude (PSVM) to detect a zone where a fault occurred and uses the phase angles of the Positive Sequence Currents (PSC) to detect the faulted line. The algorithm was simulated in MATLAB/Simulink and in Real-Time using OPAL-RT, the accuracy of the algorithm was found to be 100% in determining the faulted zone and 85% in determining the faulted line. The fault clearing time was analyzed through hardware-in-the-Ioop (HIL) implementation as against the local protection and the technique was found to be suitable for a backup protection.","PeriodicalId":215514,"journal":{"name":"2020 International SAUPEC/RobMech/PRASA Conference","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116033151","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}

Mathematical models and block models of the network components, battery energy storage system and pumped-hydroelectric storage models were developed and tested under steady-state operation. Three cases were studied which included the network with wind power generation, then with wind power generation and battery energy storage system and finally with wind power generation and pumped-hydroelectric storage. Results under steady-state conditions showed that the voltage levels for the four loads were within the acceptable standard voltage limits of 0.95 p.u. and 1.05 p.u. across all three cases.
