Overall objective is to optimize the throughput of correctly sorted and aligned parts, depending on the individual geometries as well as various material and system parameters. However, there is a lack of a detailed understanding of the complex feeding process, the relevant parameters, and their impact on the transport behavior. Therefore, the design of vibrating conveyors today is still mainly based on experience. In this work, we present an approach for the modeling and simulation of such feeding systems with focus on the parts' transport process, and illustrate its potential to support the design phase of vibrating conveyors by an exemplary test case.","PeriodicalId":358714,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 3rd International Conference on Automation, Control and Robots","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123560011","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}

Especially, mobile robots have limited on-board computational power which restricts their mission planning in autonomous applications. With the evolution of Fog computing, computations may be offloaded to Fog devices and/or smart gateway devices which together form a distributed computing platform in close proximity to the mobile robot. In this work, we demonstrate the application of Fog computing for mobile robots with a specific case study of color-based object detection, tracking and mapping in a confined area. The computations required for image processing are offloaded to the Fog devices via Fog nodes and the results are acquired back in real-time. The control algorithms for tracking predefined paths and mapping a pre- defined area are validated using a controlled mobile robot with an on-board camera and processing unit. Also, the effects of improvement in latency due to fog environment as compared to on-board computation on the mobile robot is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":358714,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 3rd International Conference on Automation, Control and Robots","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116384366","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}

A wireless charging platform has been constructed on a solar powered vehicle that allows the drone to virtually recharge an unlimited number of times. Moreover, a control strategy is proposed to manage the quadcopter landing, charging, and takeoff processes autonomously. Usually, the UAV uses the estimated GPS data to reach roughly the charging platform. Therefore, the UAV has been equipped with an Infra-Red (IR)-Lock sensor to increase the potential of automatic landing within a very precise area. The proposed system has been implemented and tested. Many experiments show that the proposed outdoor positioning and charging approach is valid and effective for charging an UAV that performs frequent missions in remote areas.","PeriodicalId":358714,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 3rd International Conference on Automation, Control and Robots","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130376042","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}

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) method in 3D printing is the most widespread material extrusion technology that has great potential to further advance in better quality, low-cost, material, and time optimization. This paper discusses and compares the methods of shape optimization for various models of 3D printed pressure vessels, such as Cylindrical, peanut, pumpkin, and honeycomb, in terms of weight and stress distribution, through FEA simulation in ANSYS software by applying pressure up to 100 MPa inside the vessel. Some optimized shapes of pressure vessels were obtained with uniformly-distributed stress all over the vessel body due to the removal of the less useful parts of the vessel. The most lightweight was the peanut-shaped modified cylindrical pressure vessel, which resulted in a 9.81% weight reduction after applying shape optimization method, and the least average stress undergoing vessel was a simple cylindrical pressure vessel. The simulation results show that the developed technique has a great prospect of possible application in additive manufacturing technology.","PeriodicalId":358714,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 3rd International Conference on Automation, Control and Robots","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122684344","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 working principle of a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is based on experiences of experts, thereby it should be one of the artificial intelligence controllers which can efficiently replace with conventional regulators. This paper concentrates on the design of a typical PI-type FLC incorporation with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique. The PSO algorithm is used to successfully determine three scaling factors of the PI-type FLC, thereby the proposed control strategy will be able to obtain much better control performances in comparison with the conventional regulator and/or the FLCs applying the other optimization counterparts, i.e. genetic algorithm (GA) and differential evolution (DE) algorithm. This study also investigates feasible solutions for the load-frequency control (LFC) problem of an interconnected hydroelectric power system. In fact, the LFC problem is one of the most important control issues of multi-area interconnected hydroelectric power systems. Comparative simulations with conventional PID regulators, PD-type FLC, GA- and DE-based PI-like FLCs will be implemented in this study to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed PSO-based PI-type FLC. The control quality of the proposed control approach revealing through major control criteria obtained, such as overshoots, steady-state error and settling time, is much better than that of the other controllers for solving the LFC problem of a hydropower system.","PeriodicalId":358714,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 3rd International Conference on Automation, Control and Robots","volume":"503 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116848828","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}

Those trends are mass customization, shareconomy, digitalization and cloud manufacturing. The impact of those trends on manufacturing paradigms has been evaluated and three possible paradigms have been identified. Those manufacturing paradigms are separation of design and manufacturing, collaboration across company borders and on-site production. The separation of design and manufacturing does empower customers with regard to the product and does allow true mass customization where customers are included in the product description process. The collaboration across company borders does empower customers in regard of the process and lets them choose their contractual partner for every production step. The following on-site-production focuses on the throughput and thus on the delivery time by re-location of the production into the end-customers' daily field of action. Each paradigm is explained, the vision of possible future implementations is drawn and the possible benefits are outlined. However, the technical realization of those paradigms is yet not fully feasible due to still unsolved problems and challenges. Therefore, a research agenda has been composed to list and address those deficits. The main deficits that have been identified are the lack of standardized data models, an integrated and automated toolchain, the protection of intellectual property and the compliance with quality demands.","PeriodicalId":358714,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2019 3rd International Conference on Automation, Control and Robots","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121221830","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}
