The use of such methods would allow to reason at a higher level of abstraction and increase the accessibility of field engineers to effectively write ROS applications, while opening the way to more advanced model analysis for validation and verification. In a previous work, we made an in-depth comparative study to choose which MDE approach to apply when developing ROS applications. This study led us to choose graphical Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) as the means to facilitate the development of ROS applications. In this paper we present the MDE4ROS framework, a graphical DSL we defined to allow high level robotics applications development. This framework aims to provide a better view of the system during the development using a graphical representation and to enable higher level of abstraction with code generation of the ROS system. To illustrate our proposal we use MDE4ROS to develop a TurtleBot use case and we present an analysis of the results.","PeriodicalId":253476,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their application to Mechatronics (ECMSM)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125066603","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}

This article purpose is to evaluate the maturity of metallic additive manufacturing in the field of electro mechanical conversion. To achieve this goal, a rotor of a synchronous reluctance machine has been printed with metallic additive manufacturing, specifically Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology. For its interesting magnetic properties and low magnetic losses, the INVAR 36, i.e. the binary Fe-35%Ni alloy was used. The performances of this rotor are compared to the performances of a classical laminated rotor with the exact same dimensions, both driven by the same stator.","PeriodicalId":253476,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their application to Mechatronics (ECMSM)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133747210","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 design concept is based on a fixed and robust finger used for guiding, whereas the second finger moves to pinch the gasket. The gripper's working conditions have been characterised by a universal testing machine. Results have shown that the vertical force for extracting the gasket is lower than the collaborative robot's nominal force. Extraction force increases with increasing speed and gasket-length. The second input for the generative design based on topology optimisation is the design space, with an asymmetrical distribution for the moving and static finger. The resulting optimised material distribution has been reinterpreted, taking into consideration the design for additive manufacturing principles. Finally, the gripper has been 3D printed with a short carbon fibre reinforced polyamide in a filament extrusion machine. The resulting gripper is 50% lighter than the monolithic solutions designed and manufactured by conventional technologies.","PeriodicalId":253476,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their application to Mechatronics (ECMSM)","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116693322","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 on-chip data processing and computations have been consistently increasing for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. This demands the constant improvement over the power, performance, stability, and energy efficiency. The challenges rely on power and performance of SRAM as the technology node reduces. In this paper, design of Energy Efficient SRAM (E2S11T) cell is proposed. The proposed cell contains 11-Transistors and implemented using 45 nm CMOS technology. The average dynamic power of the proposed cell is minimized by of 86.68%,86.77%,61.48% and 38.47% compared to C6T, S8T, LPHS10T and HSF11T cells, respectively. The write delay is reasonably improved about 32.58%, 34.36% and 8.43% against C6T, S8T and LPHS10T cells respectively. The read delay is also improved as well as stability have been improved due to three transistors. The proposed E2S11T cell is proven to be stable in worse conditions against temperature and works without any degradation as low as 500 mV. The cell is statistically analysed by performing Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation to validate the stability of the cell.","PeriodicalId":253476,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their application to Mechatronics (ECMSM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121220485","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}

Our universal charging process offers user-defined parameters, which are required in order to properly test different types of battery cells.

Combined Deep Neural Networks with Hidden Markov Models (DNN-HMM) are used for audio speech signal recognition. A classification of a relevant visual signal was based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). There are the additional modules for detection and identification of human faces, TV logos, and company logos in the newly developed transcription system. Another module was designed for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of text, which occurs mainly in video recordings of TV News very often.

A-posteriori synchronization is necessary in cases where real time online synchronization failed or was unavailable. In the paper, a simple method to synchronize power quality data series from multiple meters is proposed. The method analyses similarities in voltage data and estimates the lags between the meters. In order to obtain a single data series representing the most relevant phenomena that happen at the location of the smart meter, Singular Value Decomposition is used. It helps to decrease the dimensionality of the smart meter data to one. To synchronize the time of two or more metering devices the correlation between data series were calculated. Distance between zero and the maximum absolute peak of the cross-correlation is taken as a lag. For signals containing transients and dips, accuracy may be increased by correlating the first order difference of the signals. The output of the proposed algorithm is the value of signals' time lags. The accuracy of the algorithm is limited by the aggregation level of data under examination.","PeriodicalId":253476,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their application to Mechatronics (ECMSM)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114222391","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}
