The study presents an Electronic Stirring Rice Paddy system with SMS Notification and Solar Charging that stirs the rice every thirty minutes until it is dried, with features that notify the user of potential obstacles and changing weather conditions. The study used the Engineering Design Process and experimental method to gather data and test the system’s performance in terms of air temperature, solar panel charge rate, duration, effectiveness in paddy moisture, and cost benefits. Results indicate that the developed system is effective in stirring rice, has a solar panel charge rate of 3.83% per thirty minutes, and there is a significant difference in dry paddy moisture compared to the traditional method. The cost-benefit analysis revealed a return on investment after five months.","PeriodicalId":244595,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Automatic Control and Intelligent Systems (I2CACIS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124490204","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}

Earlier researches have identified three categories of sign language recognition methods, these are the gloves-based, vision-based and hybrid. Existing studies are only limited to recognizing static FSL and only include limited phrases or words for dynamic FSL recognition. Since the existing studies for dynamic FSL are only capable of recognizing limited words and phrases, this could limit the communication. Thus, adding more phrases or words for dynamic FSL recognition is significant. The objective of this study is to create a FSL recognition model using Long Short-term Memory and MediapPipe Holistic pipeline. A recurrent neural network type called Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is capable of recognizing sign language gestures, including FSL, because it can handle long-term dependencies. Using 11,070 sequences, this study trained a model to recognize 24 static Filipino sign languages including alphabets and 17 dynamic Filipino sign languages including common Filipino words, greetings, and phrases. Since a lot of people in the Philippines are not familiar with FSL, this study is useful to improve communication, and making it easier for people who do not understand FSL to understand Filipino deaf or speech impaired people in a certain communication. The recognition model produced by the proponents achieved a 99.72% model accuracy score using MediaPipe and LSTM, and can accurately detect and interpret static and dynamic Filipino sign language gestures in real-time.","PeriodicalId":244595,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Automatic Control and Intelligent Systems (I2CACIS)","volume":"149 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123567329","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}

One of the restrictions that is often affected is the seating capacity for Public Utility Vehicles. This study provides a proof of concept to an easier and more efficient way to be able to monitor capacity in a Public Utility Bus through the use of a people counter. Photoelectric sensors will be used to monitor the number of people entering and exiting the bus with information being uploaded to ThingSpeak while also being displayed onboard using an LCD.

The objective is to find a collision-free path for each robot to reach its destination while optimizing various performance metrics. This paper proposes a novel multi-robot path planning algorithm based on Modified Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO). The proposed MPSO algorithm introduces a new path planning scheme for determining the robot’s waypoints. Unlike the standard PSO algorithm, which initializes the particle swarm at the robot’s starting position and iteratively determines each waypoint until a completed path is generated, the MPSO algorithm initializes the particle swarm within a predefined search space and searches for the global best position within it to determine a specific robot waypoint through iteration updates. Moreover, a combination of global and local path planning methods is introduced to cope with a dynamic environment. The PSO algorithm functions as a global path planner, determining the complete path for each robot, whereas an obstacle avoidance algorithm serves as a local planner to avoid collision with dynamic obstacles during navigation. This study compares the performance of MPSO with normal PSO using MATLAB simulations in two scenarios. The results demonstrate MPSO’s superiority in terms of total path length and execution time.","PeriodicalId":244595,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Automatic Control and Intelligent Systems (I2CACIS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116184189","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}

Aligned with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), the use of alternative and renewable energy (RE) sources is encouraged as it allows the utilization of clean energy resources and access of populations in developing countries to electricity and energy. Forecasting and maximizing the harvest for renewable energy requires an understanding of the mechanics behind the variables that impact solar photovoltaic production. 755 datasets were created from 150 days of recorded data and used in the model building and sensitivity analysis. The approach used in this study to identify the variable importance of each meteorological variable to the solar photovoltaic (PV) production was the Garson’s algorithm (GA). In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN)-based sensitivity analysis (SA) using Garson’s algorithm (GA) was implemented to identify the relative importance (RI) of the factors influencing the solar PV output including the solar irradiance (SI), rainfall, maximum temperature (MaT), minimum temperature (MiT), relative humidity (RH), and wind speed (WS). The model also considers the relative significance of these parameters to the solar PV output. Results indicate that, with a relative value of 29.48% and 5.01%, respectively, solar irradiance and wind speed are the most and least important factors.","PeriodicalId":244595,"journal":{"name":"2023 IEEE International Conference on Automatic Control and Intelligent Systems (I2CACIS)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124879563","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}
