They play a crucial role in exploring the oceans and performing tasks that are too dangerous or difficult for humans to do, such as scouting and detecting failures in marine structures/pipelines. However, due to contact-based vector thrust transmission, these robots face the problem of water leakage into their internal circuitry. Therefore, it is necessary to design and develop a fully contactless vector thrust transmission-based autonomous underwater robot with less weight in order to consume less power. In this research, a 3D printed based magnetic coupling system has been designed and developed for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). Various components of the magnetic coupling system were 3D printed using Polylactic Acid (PLA) material. Neodymium (NdFeB) magnets were used to develop the magnetic coupling for contactless vector thrust transmission. The magnetic coupling system was successfully tested both in-lab and in a real-time environment without any mishap. It was observed that the 3D printing of the different components reduces the weight of the AUV which helps in the contactless vector thrust transmission.","PeriodicalId":247679,"journal":{"name":"2023 5th International Congress on Human-Computer Interaction, Optimization and Robotic Applications (HORA)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115131864","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}

Investigation of the real-time applicability of DRL algorithms as an EMS is critical in terms of training time, fuel savings, and state-of-charge (SOC) sustainability. To this end, we propose a twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) algorithm that is an improved version of the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm for HEV fuel savings. Compared to the existing Q-learning-based reinforcement learning and the deep Q-network-based and DDPG-based deep reinforcement algorithms, the proposed TD3 provides stable training efficiency, promising fuel economy, and a lower variation range of SOC charge sustainability under various drive cycles.","PeriodicalId":247679,"journal":{"name":"2023 5th International Congress on Human-Computer Interaction, Optimization and Robotic Applications (HORA)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129546698","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}

There are a greater number of potential instances in the data space when there are more dimensions. The amount of data required by machine learning algorithms to address problems with such a high dimension increases exponentially with the number of problem-related characteristics.

Grid planning and decision-making can be based on accurate long- and short-term power load forecasting. Recently, machine learning techniques have gained wide-spread adoption for both long- and short-term power load forecasting. Specifically, the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is customized for time series data analysis. This research proposes an LSTM model for forecasting the power load of a single house containing electrical appliances over the next 20 days. We conducted a comparative analysis of the impact of dropout layers in load forecasting applications using the LSTM model. The proposed model comprises dropout rates of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6, respectively. Their impact on load forecasting is examined. The experimental results demonstrate slight variations in predictions when altering dropout layers. The results show that the effect of dropout layers on the forecast varies the accuracy by only approximately 1%. However, the models with significant dropout rates are more general than those with lower or higher rates. So the model with a dropout rate of 0.4 is suggested.","PeriodicalId":247679,"journal":{"name":"2023 5th International Congress on Human-Computer Interaction, Optimization and Robotic Applications (HORA)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123855223","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}

To improve program dependability, program defect predictions are being utilized to aid developers in anticipating prospective issues and optimizing testing resources. As a result of this method, the amount of software defects may be forecast, and software testing resources are directed toward the software modules that have the greatest issues, enabling the defects to be fixed as soon as possible. As a result, this paper handles the issue related for SFP based on using a dataset known as JM1 provided by NASA, with 21 features. In this study, several Machine Learning (ML) techniques will be studied, which include Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), Naive Bias (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) with three distance metric, Decision Tree (DT). Three cases of normalization will be involved with investigation which are the without sampling, Random over Sample and the SMOTE. Performance evaluation will be based on various parameters such as the ACC, Recall, Precision, and F1-Score. Results obtained indicate that RF achieve the higher ACC with values of 0.81%, 0.92%, and 0.88% respectively. The comprehensive findings of this study may be utilized as a baseline for subsequent studies, allowing any claim of improved prediction using any new approach, model, or framework to be compared and confirmed.

The development of a web-based system for a smart home as a part of an IoT ecosystem gives the ability to control and view different items such as lightning, household appliances, computers, etc. via the Internet, regardless of the user's location. The basic functions that a smart home system should have are security, comfort and convenience, health care, energy consumption and efficiency, and indoor and outdoor care. The smart home is based on the usage of smart appliances and devices and an IoT infrastructure with sensors and controllers, all paired with an application that should have the following functions: alert, monitoring, control and management, and intelligence. This paper proposes a conceptual model for the design and development of an experimental system with four-tier architecture. The first tier consists of the hardware components (sensors, controllers, switches). The second tier is business logic - a software program on a microcomputer or microcontroller, used for communication with the hardware components, as well as to send the data to a server. The third tier is responsible for data management - usually, this is a server or a cloud solution that stores the data in a database. The fourth tier is also software-related and is responsible for the user-interactive part of the whole smart-home system. The graphical interface, with which the user interacts is on this tier, as well as the main business logic of the system, the decision-making rules, and the connection with third-party apps and APIs.","PeriodicalId":247679,"journal":{"name":"2023 5th International Congress on Human-Computer Interaction, Optimization and Robotic Applications (HORA)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123488070","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}
