This study proposes the use of the average electrical power consumed by the actuators as a variable correlated with grip force in mechanisms with an effective degree of freedom equal to one. This approach enables the implementation of closed-loop grip force control schemes without the need for force sensors. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, a five-finger underactuated robotic hand prototype was developed, along with a cascade control scheme to track an average power reference. The system was implemented in the Simulink environment of Matlab, using an Arduino Mega 2560 board for signal acquisition and actuator control. The powerforce relationship was validated using a variable stiffness device, in accordance with recommendations from a standardized protocol for evaluating the quality of robotic hand prostheses. The results show that average electrical power exhibits a stronger correlation with grip force than electric current, which has been used for similar purposes in previous studies.

This paper introduces a closed-loop EV charger powered by dual energy inputs, i.e., wireless power transfer (WPT) and photovoltaic (PV) sources. The dual-input charger integrates these energy sources to ensure stable and efficient constant voltage battery charging. The output voltage is continuously compared with the required EV battery charging voltage and regulated using a proportional-integral (PI) controller. To address the nonlinear and dynamic characteristics of the input sources, a novel Hybrid GEO-PO optimization algorithm, which combines the strengths of the Golden Eagle Optimizer (GEO) and the Puma Optimizer (PO), is proposed to determine the optimal PI controller parameters. MATLAB/Simulink simulations and experimental validation demonstrate that the Hybrid GEO-PO algorithm outperforms its parent algorithms in regulating EV battery charging voltage. The hybrid algorithm achieves faster response times, lower overshoot, and enhanced robustness compared to the standalone GEO and PO algorithms. Additionally, the successful implementation of the system using an FPGA controller highlights its practicality and suitability for real-world applications. This study establishes the Hybrid GEO-PO algorithm as a superior and promising approach for optimizing dual-input EV chargers, paving the way for next-generation intelligent charging infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"23 10","pages":"888-900"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11150632","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144934478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, low-cost technologies such as microcontrollers, digital signal processors, and FPGAs have been employed to leverage the advantages of HIL emulation in the teaching process. This article describes the implementation of a low-cost, open-access HIL didactic platform for use in subjects such as differential equations, systems dynamics, and control systems, among others. The platform is based on a Raspberry Pi Pico development board and features a graphical user interface (GUI). In the GUI, the user can visualize graphs of the emulated systems variables and real-time animation of its state and export the acquired data to a comma-separated file. The functionalities offered by the platform make it an affordable tool that allows users to evaluate the response of a dynamic system, whether it is open-loop or closed-loop, without the need for classrooms or specialized equipment. Unlike similar works where HIL techniques with low-cost hardware are employed for educational purposes, the proposal in this work is more cost-effective and integrates the described GUI. All the files necessary for implementing the didactic platform are openly available in a public repository, including those needed for PCB manufacturing.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"23 10","pages":"910-921"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11150634","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144934420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most popular video forgeries is frame deletion, in which a group of frames is removed to hide specific actions from the human eye. When frame deletion occurs, videos selected as evidence lose their evidentiary value. This highlights the necessity of automation, especially for analyzing large volumes of videos. Thus, we measure the performance of two deep learning approaches for frame deletion detection. Both of them use Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN): The first one, a supervised 3DCNN model and, the second one, is an unsupervised model compound of VGG-16 and Resnet-50. We evaluated them using 10-fold cross-validation in the following datasets: UCF-101, VIFFD and DTD (Driving Test Dataset), which is our contribution to the data community. To the best of our knowledge, no comparison of both approaches using 10-fold cross-validation has been found in the literature before. Afterward, we analyze the results and make recommendations for future work in this area.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"23 10","pages":"838-847"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11150631","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144934488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work presents the design, implementation, and validation of a navigation system for autonomous vehicles using NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT). The primary objective was to create a vehicle capable of navigating a 2D map with a defined starting point and target. Virtual sensors enable the vehicle to identify navigable paths and boundaries. Distance metrics such as Euclidean, Manhattan, and Chebyshev were employed as reward systems, continuously calculating agent positions. The closer the vehicle is to the target, the higher its fitness score, forming the basis of the fitness function. A forced reinforcement acceleration method was designed and implemented to ensure progress when the vehicle's speed fell below 0.1, preventing it from becoming stalled. Validation tests were conducted to evaluate the system's performance under varying conditions. Results demonstrate that the autonomous vehicle can navigate the map effectively, improving its fitness score in each generation depending on the distance metric used. Chebyshev performed best in obstacle-free environments, while Euclidean excelled in the presence of obstacles. The forced reinforcement method significantly reduced the time required to achieve the target fitness. These findings provide valuable insights for researchers aiming to develop NEAT-based navigation systems for autonomous vehicles.","PeriodicalId":55024,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Latin America Transactions","volume":"23 10","pages":"848-855"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11150628","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144934400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
