The paper covers analysis and investigation of lighting automation system in low-traffic long-roads. The main objective is to provide optimal solution between expensive safe design that utilizes continuous street lighting system at night for the entire road, or inexpensive design that sacrifices the safety, relying on using vehicles lighting, to eliminate the problem of high cost energy consumption during the night operation of the road. By taking into account both of these factors, smart lighting automation system is proposed using Pattern Recognition Technique applied on vehicle number-plates. In this proposal, the road is sectionalized into zones, and based on smart Pattern Recognition Technique, the control system of the road lighting illuminates only the zone that the vehicles pass through. Economic analysis is provided in this paper to support the value of using this design of lighting control system.

This paper introduces an autonomous robot (AR) cart to execute the last mile delivery task. We use navigation and intelligent avoidance algorithms to plan the path of the automatic robot. When AR encounters a new unrecognizable terrain, it will give control to the customer who can control the AR on its mobile app and navigate to the specified destination. We have initially designed an autonomous delivery robot with the cost of 2774 dollars.

Nowadays, computer vision as an interdisciplinary field is growing in different areas such as medical, electronics, etc. In the field, detection and particularly image segmentation is an essential task in which is difficult to find the appropriate one based on the application. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to segment the lesion from background. The algorithm is based on log edge detector with iterative median filtering. We have tested our algorithm on 20 dermoscopic images and compare the lesion detection results with those manually segmented by dermatologists. The experiments represent the effectiveness of proposed algorithm.

Pepper, a humanoid robot, is 1.2 m in height and is designed to move its limbs. There are risks of the older adults experiencing falling and collision accidents when they interact with Pepper. When physical interaction happens between a humanoid robot and human beings, potential harmful physical contact might occur. The aim of this report was to examine the safety management aspects when using Pepper, a humanoid robot for the care of older adults. The older adults’ reactions to Pepper’s functions cannot be predicted. Hence, it is necessary to clarify methods to guarantee its safety in advance and to increase the safety and properties of the robots. The benefits of introducing support robots such as Pepper for aging medical and nursing care settings are obvious. Therefore, engagement in robot development while considering both the risks and benefits is critical. Our academic initiatives have just begun. Through information exchange among researchers, users, engineers, and law specialists, we need to identify latent and prominent risks in situations where Pepper and the older adults interact and deepen our examination of measures against such risks.

Local priority hysteresis switching logic is associated with adaptive control convergence when using an infinite set of candidate parameters via constraints added to the switching scheme. In this paper, we reevaluate these constraints on the basis of the persistent excitation assumption. This makes room for the adaptive control to converge to its optimum, resulting in improved performance. Unconstrained local priority hysteresis switching logic is investigated, and global convergence conditions are proposed. This paper expands on the preliminary version of a conference paper [1] by adding numerical simulation examples to validate both the application and the advantage of the theory.

Hydroponic System is a system in which farmers cultivate different plants without utilizing the soil. The authors have proposed IoT system that monitors and controls all parameters of hydroponic system like water level, pH, humidity and temperature through mobile application. In proposed system, the authors have used an ESP32 micro-controller that is controlled pump. The pump will draw water from a reservoir which is connected to a regular water line. If the water level of the reservoir falls down to a certain level, the system will send an SMS to the Farmer. The farmer can control the water line and make the reservoir full by mobile application. An LDR and DHT11 humidity sensor is used to control the light and temperature of the farm. In system, we also used pH sensor where pH sensor is a scientific instrument that measures the hydrogen-ion activity in water-based solutions and indicating its acidity or alkalinity expressed as pH.

Thermal comfort is the expression of people’s satisfaction with the indoor temperature and is related to people’s working efficiency and health. In this way, it is necessary to construct a suitable environment for the user. However, even if adaptive thermal comfort has been developing rapidly for the past decades, most of the models are still developed based on simple statistical analysis such as regression models, which may not capture the complex relations between thermal comfort and the indoor thermal environment as well as differences between individual characteristics. Hence, in order to improve the accuracy of the adaptive thermal comfort model, this paper proposes a decision-tree-based thermal comfort model developed with the subset of the RP884 dataset. Then, a comfort-based HVAC controller was developed with the thermal sensation prediction results with the trained model above. As a result, the proposed controller indeed improves occupant’s thermal comfort model.

Reliability and safety are major issues in tower crane applications. A new adaptive neurofuzzy system is developed in this work for real-time health condition monitoring of tower cranes, especially for hoist gearboxes. Vibration signals are measured using a wireless smart sensor system. Fault detection is performed gear-by-gear in the gearbox. A new diagnostic classifier is proposed to integrate strengths of several signal processing techniques for fault detection. A hybrid machine learning method is proposed to facilitate implementation and improve training convergence. The effectiveness of the developed monitoring system is verified by experimental tests.
