Abstract

In this modern era, it has become much simpler to replicate, sell, and copy the copyright owners' works without their permission as a result of the expansion of digitalization, and it is difficult to identify such violations, posing a threat to the creators' and copyright owners' rights. For many years, the internet has been regarded as one of the most serious threats to copyright, and the content available has varying levels of copyright protection. On the internet, there are numerous copyrighted works, including e-books, movies, news, and so on. Therefore, by using watermarking and steganography techniques, these issues can be solved, which are based on the author's signature information or logo. This paper concluded that the techniques of discrete cosine transform (DCT), discrete wavelet transform (DWT), one-time pad (OTP), and playfair are highly effective when used together to watermark an image or embed a secret message, our lab results validate that our algorithm scheme is robust against several sets of attacks, where the algorithm was assessed by computation of many evaluation metrics such as mean square error (MSE), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR).

Abstract

Over the last decade, industrial applications and promising research domains including robotics and automotive engineering have adopted the rotary switched reluctance actuator (SRA). SRA's fault tolerance, simple, strong structure, and high-frequency operation make it popular. However, the SRA's nonlinear magnetic flux flow and saturation operation negate its benefits. Several control systems have been developed; however, they often need extensive mechanism models and advanced control theory, making them impracticable. This paper proposes a modified proportional integral derivative (PID) controller to evaluate the control performance, which comprises of PID controller with an anti-windup, a linearizer unit, and switching mechanism to activate the SRA phases. The linearizer unit aids to compensate for the nonlinear current-displacement relationship. The anti-windup element helps to halt the integral action during the starting motion. At the fully aligned position, 60°, the modified PID reduced positioning steady-state error by 4.3 times at 76.9%, overshoot by 48.8%, and settling time by 25.3%. Both the modified PID and conventional PID showed zero steady-state error at intermediate position, 70°, however the modified PID controller depicted an improved percentage overshoot by 54.5% and settling time by 74.5%. The results show that the modified PID outperforms conventional PID in transient response, steady-state error, overshoot, and settling time.

Abstract

The demand for safe and flexible actuators has increased as traditional actuators pose safety risks due to their rigid materials, especially in applications requiring human-machine interaction. This study focuses on designing and optimizing a linear fiber-reinforced soft actuator to enhance linear motion performance while maintaining safety and flexibility. Finite element method (FEM) analysis was used to evaluate the effects of varying key design parameters, including core radius, actuator length, and core wall thickness. The analysis revealed that increasing the core radius leads to greater linear extension, while increasing the actuator’s length and wall thickness reduces extension. Among the tested designs, the R10 design exhibited the highest linear extension, with a 44.41% increase in length compared to the original design. However, the R10 design also showed undesirable bulging at the free end under pressure, which necessitated further optimization. By increasing the thickness of the sheath wall, the bulging was reduced, and the optimized design achieved a 34.53% increase in extension. This study highlights the significance of parameter optimization in fiber-reinforced soft actuators to achieve superior linear motion performance. Future work will explore further improvements in structural stability, sensor integration for precise control, and advanced fabrication techniques for better customization and durability.
