Abstract

The industrial automation sector is rapidly evolving, with a growing need for advanced control strategies to enhance the efficiency and precision of robotic systems. Model Predictive Control (MPC) has emerged as a promising approach due to its ability to handle multivariable control problems and constraints effectively. However, its application in robotic automation remains underexplored. This research aims to implement Model Predictive Control in industrial robotic systems to improve performance, adaptability, and operational efficiency. The study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of MPC in real-time robotic applications, specifically in tasks requiring high precision and dynamic response. A simulation-based approach was employed, using a robotic arm model as a testbed for implementing MPC. The control algorithm was designed to predict future states of the system based on current measurements and optimize control inputs accordingly. Performance metrics, including tracking error and response time, were evaluated under various operational scenarios. The implementation of MPC resulted in a significant reduction in tracking error and improved response times compared to traditional control methods. The robotic arm demonstrated enhanced adaptability to changes in the environment and task requirements, showcasing the robustness of the MPC approach. The findings indicate that Model Predictive Control is an effective strategy for enhancing the performance of robotic systems in industrial automation.

Abstract

Accurate quantification of forest carbon stocks is critical for global climate change mitigation initiatives like REDD+. Traditional forest inventory methods are often labor-intensive, costly, and limited in scale, particularly in complex tropical ecosystems such as the Sumatran rainforest. The integration of advanced remote sensing technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) offers a transformative potential for overcoming these limitations. This study aimed to develop and validate a high-resolution model for individual tree detection and above-ground biomass (AGB) estimation in a Sumatran rainforest by synergizing airborne LiDAR data with machine learning algorithms. High-density LiDAR data was acquired over a 10,000-hectare study area. Concurrently, extensive field inventory data from 150 plots were collected to serve as ground truth. A deep learning model, specifically a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), was trained to perform individual tree crown delineation (ITCD) from the LiDAR-derived canopy height model. Tree-level metrics were then used as predictors in a Random Forest algorithm to estimate AGB, which was calibrated against field-measured biomass. The CNN model successfully identified individual trees with an accuracy of 92.4%. The subsequent Random Forest model demonstrated high predictive power for AGB estimation, yielding a strong coefficient of determination ( = 0.89) and a low Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 25.8 Mg/ha. The approach generated a high-resolution (1-meter) AGB map, revealing detailed spatial variations in carbon stock across the landscape. The fusion of AI and LiDAR data provides a highly efficient methodology for forest inventory and AGB mapping in dense tropical rainforests. This approach significantly enhances our capacity to monitor carbon dynamics, forest conservation and climate policy.

Abstract

The implementation of technological innovation in the public sector is a critical driver of efficiency, transparency, and service delivery in many countries, including Indonesia. Despite the increasing importance of technology in public administration, the adoption and effective implementation of technological innovations in the Indonesian public sector face various challenges, including organizational resistance, inadequate infrastructure, and limited digital skills. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the successful implementation of technological innovations in Indonesian public institutions. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates qualitative interviews with key public sector managers and quantitative surveys of public sector employees to identify the critical factors that facilitate or hinder the adoption of technology. The findings highlight that leadership commitment, organizational culture, availability of resources, and training programs are significant drivers of successful technological implementation. Conversely, barriers such as budget constraints, political factors, and a lack of technical expertise were found to limit the effectiveness of technological innovation. The study concludes that for successful technological innovation in the Indonesian public sector, it is crucial to focus on strengthening leadership, fostering a supportive organizational culture, and investing in infrastructure and training programs. These findings provide practical recommendations for policymakers and public sector managers in Indonesia.

Abstract

Entrepreneurial ecosystems have become critical drivers of the creative economy by fostering collaboration, innovation, and sustainable business models. In the context of the Global South, these ecosystems face structural challenges such as limited access to finance, infrastructure gaps, and unequal opportunities, yet they also present unique opportunities for inclusive growth. This study aims to examine how entrepreneurial ecosystems shape and influence the development of the creative economy in a Global South context, with a focus on the mechanisms that enable creative entrepreneurs to thrive despite these constraints. A qualitative case study design was employed, drawing on data collected from 45 semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs, policy makers, and cultural actors, as well as document analysis and participant observation in three creative industry clusters. The findings reveal that local networks, informal mentoring, and culturally embedded innovation serve as the backbone of these ecosystems. Results highlight that while systemic limitations persist, adaptive strategies, collaborative practices, and policy interventions can strengthen ecosystem performance and contribute to creative sector resilience. This study concludes that fostering inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems in the Global South has a transformative potential for advancing the creative economy and addressing socio-economic disparities.

Abstract

Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, is a mandatory form of almsgiving aimed at redistributing wealth and promoting economic justice. In Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, zakat has the potential to significantly impact income distribution and reduce poverty. However, its effectiveness is often hindered by inefficiencies in collection, distribution, and utilization. This study examines the impact of zakat on income distribution in Indonesia, focusing on its role in reducing economic inequality and promoting social welfare. The research aims to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with zakat management and propose strategies for enhancing its effectiveness. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study combines quantitative analysis of income distribution data with qualitative interviews with zakat institutions, beneficiaries, and policymakers. Data were analyzed to assess the impact of zakat on poverty alleviation, income inequality, and economic empowerment. The findings reveal that zakat has a modest but positive impact on income distribution, particularly in rural areas. However, inefficiencies in collection and distribution, as well as a lack of transparency, limit its potential to achieve broader economic justice. The study concludes that improving zakat management through better governance, transparency, and targeted distribution strategies is essential for maximizing its impact on income distribution. This research contributes to the discourse on Islamic economics by providing practical recommendations for enhancing the role of zakat in promoting economic justice and social welfare in Indonesia.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of hybrid learning environments in Southeast Asia has intensified the need for culturally grounded approaches to digital citizenship education. Most existing digital citizenship models originate from Western contexts that prioritize individual autonomy, overlooking the collective ethics and cultural values embedded in Southeast Asian societies. The Neosantara framework, rooted in the integration of local wisdom (Nusantara) with global digital ethics, offers a culturally responsive pathway for nurturing ethical, responsible, and empathetic digital learners. This study aims to examine how Neosantara-based pedagogy fosters digital citizenship within hybrid learning settings by aligning moral education, technological fluency, and cultural identity. A qualitative multiple-case study design was employed across three hybrid schools in Indonesia and Malaysia, involving 30 participants, including teachers, students, and curriculum developers. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, then analyzed thematically using a constructivist approach. The findings revealed that integrating Neosantara principles—such as gotong royong (mutual cooperation), tanggung jawab (responsibility), and santun digital (digital courtesy)—enhanced students’ digital ethics, collaboration, and cultural empathy. Statistical analysis supported these qualitative insights, with significant improvements in digital ethics awareness (M = 4.36) and cultural integration (M = 4.45). The study concludes that embedding Neosantara cultural ethics into hybrid learning fosters holistic digital citizenship that balances global digital competence with local moral grounding. The Neosantara Pedagogical Framework provides a replicable model for developing culturally sustainable and ethically resilient hybrid education across Southeast Asia.
