In this context, Ecuador seeks to adapt to the rapid changes of the technological era and solve the problems caused by the pandemic caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, in the interruption of cultural and economic activities. At the local level, Pujilí, Land of the DANZANTE, considered intangible cultural heritage of humanity, has not been exempt from this situation, being the Cultural area the most affected. For this reason, the current research, PUJILÍ MUSEUM, proposes a means of dissemination and preservation of Art and Culture, adapted to current changes, through a Virtual Reality mobile application that integrates 3D modeling technologies and reconstruction by Photogrammetry, to improve the quality and immersion, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in a world full of history, art and culture, music, and tradition. The application was tested by 30 users/visitors who had mid/high range mobile devices, applying the convenience sampling technique, in order to know the levels of satisfaction and learning of the different interactive areas. The experimental results showed a positive effect on visitors and a high level of acceptance when using the virtual environment. This has been corroborated by the number of downloads, ratings, and reviews.","PeriodicalId":236754,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Computers and Automation (CompAuto)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130532412","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 goal of the simulation for the vented loudspeaker for the elderly are its sensitivity and the directivity of the electro-mechanical system. The simulation described here revealed how the extended membrane and ladder-like horn influence the curve of sensitivity. The simulation results reveal that the acoustic-shell interaction behavior in frequency domain is elucidated from the multi-physics analysis. This simulation reproduces the coupling between the vibration for the extended membrane and ladder-like horn and the pressure fluctuation of the surrounding air.","PeriodicalId":236754,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Computers and Automation (CompAuto)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121742988","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}

These unknown time-varying parts not only lie in the both integral units of the second-order follower dynamics, but also show up in the leader’s kinematics. A cascade uncertainty and disturbance estimator (CUDE) based backstepping controller is designed for the followers, which is capable of handling the model uncertainties and input disturbances that respectively appearing in their first-and second-order integral units. However, UDE based methods require accurate modeling of the control system, while the leader is not controllable. Thus, for the leader, the uncertain parts are compensated by constructing a neural network (NN) estimation mechanism. Adaptive estimation parameters are designed according to Lyapunov stability theories to enhance the robustness of the system. The combination of NN and CUDE requires less computational resource than conventional NN-based methods while enabling a valuation of the uncertainty in the leader’s equation. Finally, a numerical simulation is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the control scheme.","PeriodicalId":236754,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Computers and Automation (CompAuto)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131097056","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}

Data from the robot’s surrounding must be acquired and processed to adjust the locomotion, and aid with the actuation of the six limbs. This paper aims at using force sensors placed on the feet of a hexapod to control the changes of the gait phase of each limb. These sensors also assist in the search of new footholds when no contact forces are established with the ground. The system is tested in a smooth irregular terrain with obstacles, steps, and ramps, using CoppeliaSim and ROS (Robot Operating System), to dynamically evaluate the behavior of the hexapod.","PeriodicalId":236754,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Computers and Automation (CompAuto)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132649329","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 principal of its mechanism is governed by the one-class support vector machine algorithms (OCSVMs), of which the performance varies, dependently. To optimise the performance, this paper compares the choices of kernel functions selected–the deciding factor in the learning and efficiency of the algorithm - in terms of their influence on one -class classification problems, particularly ones involving data of higher dimensions. The decision of the kernel parameters also affects the learning complexity of the SVMs, leading to various levels of validity of the classification outcome, accordingly.","PeriodicalId":236754,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Computers and Automation (CompAuto)","volume":"218 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131950471","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}
