The PUEA is considered the most devastating among them since it includes a built-in sensing system. It continuously monitors the primary user's (PU) state and tries to obtain the whole spectrum when PU not utilizing it while sometimes it even tries to avail the spectrum in the presence of the PU. It imitates the PU and tricks the Sensing Nodes i.e., SUs. A mechanism of PU position monitoring employing the Time-of-Flight/Time-of-Arrival (ToF/ToA) method is suggested in this study effort.

This includes fluid behavior around underwater remotely operated vehicles, aerodynamic characteristics of mobile robots/drones in extreme outdoor environments, and internal flow simulation to determine the heating/cooling time of an enclosed space and estimate the system's energy requirements. For this paper, two CFD software's; ANSYS Fluent and Solidworks 2022 are used to conduct a CFD analysis on the heating/cooling of the internal space of a mobile robot design aimed to operate in extreme temperatures ranging from −40 °C to 50 °C. Heating time is determined by using a constant power magnitude of 8138683 W/m3 emitted from four different heating elements located at different parts of the robot body and two fans rotating at 1800 rpm. Moreover, the cooling time of the internal space is evaluated based on fans operating at 6000 rpm over the electronics and three outlets that direct the warm air to the outside environment. For both software's, the same boundary conditions were applied to the robot body to obtain fair results for comparison. Based on the simulation results, the desired temperature of 8 °C from an initial temperature of −40 °C was reached within 44 s for ANSYS Fluent and 650 s for Solidworks. For cooling, 8 °C was obtained within 6 s for ANSYS Fluent and 24 s for Solidworks. The difference in the results between the two software's is mainly due to the method in which the fluid domain is defined. In the case of Solidworks, it considers the material thickness on the boundary between solid/fluid regions.","PeriodicalId":447565,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Industry (ICRAI)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121774756","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, the water-carrying capacity of these water channels significantly reduces over time because of erosion, structural deterioration, and silt accumulation. As a result, routine inspections are required to analyze and repair these water channels which necessitates automation because of the vast length of the channels. We present a framework that enables Micro-Aerial Vehicles(MAVs) not only to navigate in an unknown cluttered canal environment but also to provide a complete 3-Dimensional map for the inspection. The framework consists of three main components (mapping, path planning, and mission planner) that gradually explore the environment while solving for start to local goal queries. We use Octomap; an octree-based representation of the environment for mapping, and we extended the Informed Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (Informed-RRT*) for optimal path planning and replan paths with respect to the static nearby and dynamic obstacles perceived during the execution of the mission. A simulated 2,378 meters length of canal environment is implemented and demonstrated by using the Airsim simulation in the Unreal engine, running on Robot Operation System (ROS) and Linux OS. Results obtained show that the framework enables the MAV to navigate over a simulated canal environment and allows the MAV to map the 3D structure of the canal.","PeriodicalId":447565,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Industry (ICRAI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130610409","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}

People with moving disabilities face many challenges in day-to-day activities and they have to rely on others to perform their day-to-day activities. Robotic walk-assist technology has the ability to play an indispensable role in improving the mobility of people who are suffering from walking disabilities. However, there are several technical challenges, such as safe interaction of human and robotic walk-assist devices, and control of highly nonlinear dynamic systems. This paper proposes a preliminary design of an assistive device for elderly persons having poor mobility. An adaptive inertia-related controller is employed for the desired tracking control of hip and knee joints of the walk assist device. The mass estimation of both hip and knee links is estimated through the proposed adaptive controller, which plays an important role if people of different weights and sizes opt to use the same device. Moreover, the adaptive control scheme is coupled with a compliant spring-mass-damper reference model to realize a compliance control for the hip and knee joints of the exoskeleton wearable walk-assist robotic device. Simulation results validate the performance of the proposed controller for both hip and knee joints. Results demonstrate that proposed controller has the capability to estimate the weights of the links, and the uncertain parameters while changing the assistive device dynamics.","PeriodicalId":447565,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Industry (ICRAI)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121004294","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}

GA has a promising future in optimization and search problems. It has caught the interest of researchers in the fields of data science, artificial intelligence, and mathematics among many others. GA depends on various operators which include parent selection, crossover, and mutation. The crossover and mutation operators incorporate diversity in the population. GA has a dependency on genetic diversity just like thriving species of any habitat. In the natural world, isolated species and small populations amplify genetic drift, increasing their chances of loss of alleles including beneficial ones. Existing research in GA has an emphasis on natural selection, however, another mechanism of evolution i.e., Genetic drift is not studied in GA. Genetic drift, like in nature, also affects genetic algorithms as it mimics natural processes. Genetic drift causes fixation of alleles and loss of diversity, making GA provide a sub-optimal solution. This research establishes the negative effects of demographic restrictions on the population as observed in the natural world. Subsequently establishes a link between research in biodiversity and evolution in the natural world to enhance the performance of GA in the digital world.","PeriodicalId":447565,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Industry (ICRAI)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114793714","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}

State-of-the-art semantic segmentation models lack in processing the temporal dimension of time series imagery and evident solution to process multi-spectral bands available in the satellite imagery. We propose a methodology to overcome these shortcomings by selecting appropriate band combinations for crop type classification and treating time series visual data as a single image. The proposed methodology is evaluated on the data set of six different crops collected from National Agriculture Research Center (NARC) Islamabad.

Recursive programs are generally not considered as advantageous as iterative functions in the introductory curriculum of computer science. This is because the course books focuses primarily on branched top to bottom versions of recursion which is an inefficient way to create algorithms while iterations have low memory overhead. Recursive algorithms calculate values for the same perimeters repeatedly resulting in wastage of processor time and memory. However, different variants of recursions exist such as linear, tail and branched which are hardly mentioned in conventional studies and are more efficient than branched recursive. Like dynamic programming, tail recursion can provide remedy for such redundant processing. This paper will focus on alternative recursive solutions for some of the most popular known mathematical problems such as factorial, Fibonacci and binomial coefficient with same efficiency as iterative code that is widely discussed in the course books.","PeriodicalId":447565,"journal":{"name":"2023 International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Industry (ICRAI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129820357","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}

Agriculture has also been reaping the fruits of developments in mentioned fields. Technology is being revolutionized to increase yield, save water wastage, take care of diseased weeds, and also increase the profit of farmers. Grapes are among the highest profit-yielding and important fruit related to the juice industry. Pakistan being an agricultural country, can widely benefit by cultivating and improving grapes per hectare yield. The biggest challenge in harvesting grapes to date is to detect their cluster successfully; many approaches tend to answer this problem by harvest and sort technique where the foreign objects are separated later from grapes after harvesting them using an automatic harvester. Currently available systems are trained on data that is from developed or grape-producing countries, thus showing data biases when used at any new location thus it gives rise to a need of creating a dataset from scratch to verify the results of research. Grape is available in different sizes, colors, seed sizes, and shapes which makes its detection, through simple Computer vision, even more challenging. This research addresses this issue by bringing the solution to this problem by using CNN and Neural Networks using the newly created dataset from local farms as the other research and the methods used don't address issues faced locally by the farmers.

Our research aims to determine whether Vision Transformer (ViT) can be used to assess natural disaster damage on high-resolution Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) data in comparison with conventional deep-learning semantic segmentation techniques. We discuss if Transformer can perform better than CNNs in accurately assessing the damage caused in order to bridge the gap. Detailed performance comparison of state-of-art deep learning semantic segmentation models (UNET, Segnet, PSPNet, Deeplabv3+) and Transformer framework (SegFormer) for damage assessment is presented. The experimentation is performed on both natural disaster damage datasets (RescueNet, FloodNet). The study supported SegFormer as the most appropriate model for estimating disaster damage, with mIoUs of 96% on the RescueNet dataset and 82.22% on the FloodNet dataset, respectively.
