The adaptive cruise control inputs are the safety distance which determines thanks to conditions set depending on the distance value, the measured distance, the longitudinal speed of the autonomous automobile itself, the output is the desired acceleration. The objective is to follow the vehicles in front with safety, according to the distance measured by the ultrasonic sensor, and maintain a distance between the vehicles in front greater than the safety distance which we have determined. For this, we used super twisting sliding mode controller (STSMC) and non-singular terminal sliding mode controller (NTSMC) based on neural network applied to the adaptive cruise control system. The neural network is able to approximate the exponential reaching law term parameter of the NTSMC controller to compensate for uncertainties and perturbations. An autonomous automobile adaptive cruise control system prototype was produced and tested using an ultrasonic sensor to measure the distance between the two automobiles, and an Arduino board as a microcontroller to implement our program, and four DCs motors as actuators to move or stop our host vehicle. This system is processed by code and Simulink Matlab, the efficiency and robustness of these controllers are excellent, as demonstrated by the low longitudinal velocity error value. The safety of autonomous vehicles can be enhanced by improving adaptive cruise control using STSMC and NTSMC based on neural network controllers, which are chosen for their efficiency and robustness.","PeriodicalId":443428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Robotics and Control (JRC)","volume":"45 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140461386","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}

We operate under the assumption that the environment, i.e., the floor, is initially unknown to the robot, which also lacks knowledge regarding obstacle positions, except for the workspace boundaries. The robot executes alternating phases of exploration and coverage, leveraging the local map generated during exploration to construct a STC tree, which then guides the subsequent coverage (cleaning) phase. The extent of exploration is determined by the range of the robot's sensors. The path generation algorithms for cleaning fall within the broader category of coverage path planning (CPP) algorithms. A key advantage of this algorithm is that the robot returns to its initial position upon completing the operation, minimizing battery usage since sensors are only active during the exploration phase. We classify the proposed algorithm as an offline-online scheme. To validate the effectiveness and non-repetitive nature of the algorithm, we conducted simulations using VRep/MATLAB environments and implemented real-time experiments using Turtlebot in the ROS-Gazebo environment. The results substantiate the completeness of coverage and underscore the algorithm's significance in applications akin to floor cleaning.","PeriodicalId":443428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Robotics and Control (JRC)","volume":"42 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140461096","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}

Microclimate parameters include air and soil temperature, air humidity, soil moisture, and light intensity. This research aims to develop a new microclimate data recording system for coffee-pine agroforestry, utilizing LoRaWAN and IoT technology to capture real-time microclimate parameters. Unlike traditional data loggers that require manual download on-site, this innovative system enables instant data download from IoT servers, thereby increasing data efficiency and accessibility. The system proved effective, significantly improving the precision of air temperature and humidity, as well as soil temperature measurements, with an average accuracy of 100%. However, soil moisture and light intensity recorded lower accuracies of 81.23% and 82.56%, respectively, indicating potential areas for future research and system refinement. The system maintains a 15-minute sampling period, aligning with conventional datalogger intervals. This represents an advancement in precision agriculture for microclimate monitoring, enabling the data to be utilized in decision-making for agroforestry management, which involves complex interactions between the local microclimate and the broader ecological system.

The primary hurdle addressed is the inadequacy of conventional methods, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with pooling layers, in imbuing robots with emotional intelligence. To surmount this challenge, the research proposes an innovative solution—introducing a novel learning focal point (LFP) layer to replace pooling layers, resulting in significant enhancements in accuracy and other vital parameters. The distinctive contribution of this research lies in the creation and application of the LFP algorithm, providing a novel approach to emotion classification for teacher robots. The results showcase the LFP algorithm's superior performance compared to traditional CNN approaches. In conclusion, the study highlights the transformative impact of the LFP algorithm on the accuracy of classification models and, consequently, on emotionally intelligent teacher robots.

Given their critical role in various sectors, a comprehensive examination was necessary to enhance their operational efficiency, performance, and facilitate the control of transporting loads. Furthermore, due to the complexities involved in disassembling and reinstalling cranes, as well as the challenges associated with precisely determining system parameters, it became essential to implement adaptive control methods capable of efficiently managing the system with minimal resource requirements. This work proposes a trajectory tracking control using adaptive sliding-mode control (SMC) with particle swarm optimization (PSO) to control the position and rope length of a 3D overhead crane system with unknown parameters. The PSO is mainly used to identify the model and estimate the uncertain parameters. Then, sliding-mode control is adapted using the PSO algorithm to minimize the tracking error and ensure robustness against model uncertainties. A model of the systems is derived assuming changing rope length. The model is nonlinear of second order with five states, three actuated states: position x and y, and rope length l, and two unactuated states, which are the rope angles θx and θy. The system has uncertain parameters, which are the system’s masses Mx, My and Mz, and viscous damping coefficients Dx, Dy and Dy. A simulation study is established to illustrate the influence and robustness of the developed controller and it can enhance the tracking trajectory under different scenarios to test the scheme.","PeriodicalId":443428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Robotics and Control (JRC)","volume":"34 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140481551","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}

However, its performance evaluation through physical implementations is still limited. This work contributes a systematic evaluation to identify key factors potentially improving its performance. It modified convolutional neural network parameter values, such as reducing the number of filter channels and neuron units, and implemented the model into a vision-based autonomous vehicle (AV). The AV has front-wheel steering with an Ackermann mechanism since it is commonly used by passenger cars. Using the Inertia Measurement Unit, we measured the vehicle’s location and yaw angle along the experimental route. The AV had to move autonomously through new road sectors in the morning, afternoon, and night. First, an overall performance evaluation was carried out. The results showed a 99% success rate from 648 evaluation experiments under different conditions in which the 1% failure rate happened at new intersections. Then, a turning performance evaluation was conducted to identify key factors leading to failure at new intersections. They include fast speed, dazzling light reflection, late navigation command change instant, and the untrained turning driving pattern. The AV never failed while driving on the trained routes. It had a 100% success rate when driving slower, even under various lighting conditions and at various driving patterns, including untrained intersections. Although this study is limited to identifying key factors at three constant speeds, the results become the foundation for future research to improve CIL performance for AD, including by incorporating multimodal fusion and multi-route networks.","PeriodicalId":443428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Robotics and Control (JRC)","volume":"13 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140488900","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}

It is critical for the FES to generate stimuli with the appropriate controller so that the desired movements can be precisely tracked. By considering the repetitive nature of the movements, the learning-based control algorithms are utilized for regulating the FES. Iterative learning control (ILC) and repetitive control (RC) are two learning algorithms that can be used to accomplish accurate repetitive motions. This study investigates a variety of ILC and RC designs with distinct learning functions; this constitutes our contribution to the field. The FES model of ankle angle, which is in a class of discrete-time linear systems is considered in this study. Two learning functions, i.e., proportional, and zero-phase learning functions, are simulated for the second-order FES model running at a sampling time of 0.1 s. The results indicate the superior performance of the ILC and RC in terms of convergence rate using the zero-phase learning function. ILC and RC with a zero-phase learning function can reach a zero root-mean-square error in two iterations if the model of the plant is correct. This is faster than proportional-based ILC and RC, which takes about 40 iterations. This indicates that the zero-phase learning function requires two iterations to ensure that the patient's ankle angle precisely tracks the intended trajectory. However, the tracking performance is degraded for both control methods, especially when the model is subject to uncertainties. This specific problem can lead to future research directions.","PeriodicalId":443428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Robotics and Control (JRC)","volume":"30 9-10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140496494","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}

Traditional diagnostic methods, which involve labour-intensive manual feature extraction from Electroencephalography (EEG) data, are being supplanted by automated deep learning frameworks. This paper introduces an automated epileptic seizure detection framework utilizing deep learning to bypass manual feature extraction. Our framework incorporates detailed pre-processing techniques: normalization via L2 normalization, filtering with an 80 Hz and 0,5 Hz Butterworth low-pass and high-pass filter, and a 50 Hz IIR Notch filter, channel selection based on standard deviation calculations and Mutual Information algorithm, and frequency domain transformation using FFT or STFT with Hann windows and 50% hop. We evaluated on two datasets: the first comprising 4 canines and 8 patients with 2.299 ictal, 23.445 interictal, and 32.915 test data, 400-5000Hz sampling rate across 16-72 channels; the second dataset, intended for testing, 733 icatal, 4.314 interictal, and 1908 test data, each 10 minutes long, recorded at 400Hz across 16 channels. Three deep learning architectures were assessed: CNN, LSTM, and a hybrid CNN-LSTM model-stems from their demonstrated efficacy in handling the complex nature of EEG data. Each model offers unique strengths, with the CNN excelling in spatial feature extraction, LSTM in temporal dynamics, and the hybrid model combining these advantages.  The CNN model, comprising 31 layers, yielded highest accuracy, achieving 91% on the first dataset (precision 92%, recall 91%, F1-score 91%) and 82% on the second dataset using a 30-second threshold. This threshold was chosen for its clinical relevance. The research advances epileptic seizure detection using deep learning, indicating a promising direction for future medical technology. Future work will focus on expanding dataset diversity and refining methodologies to build upon these foundational results.","PeriodicalId":443428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Robotics and Control (JRC)","volume":"13 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140495996","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}

Still, due to incomplete data or a deficiency of expertise and knowledge, dense rule bases are not always available. Fuzzy interpolation methods have been widely explored to reasonably allow the interpolation of a fuzzy result using the closest current rules. Fuzzy rule interpolation is a type of fuzzy inference system in which conclusions can be obtained even with a few fuzzy rules. This benefit could be used to adapt the FRI to different application areas that suffer from a lack of knowledge. Alzubi et al. [17] offered a novel interpolative method that uses a weighted average based on the center point of the Incircle of the fuzzy sets. Nevertheless, the interpolated observation does not completely define the actual observation that is provided. In our offered extension to this method, a modification weight measure calculation and a shift technique are included to guarantee that the center point of the observation and the interpolated observation are mapped together. This weight measure calculation and shift technique enabled the capability of extrapolation to be conducted implicitly, which is also improves the performance results of the algorithm in the presence of multiple fuzzy rules and multidimensional priors.","PeriodicalId":443428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Robotics and Control (JRC)","volume":"4 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140496014","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}
