Abstract

The significant contributions of information and communication technology (ICT) and other operational technologies (OTs) or cyber networks have had a tremendous impact on the real-time monitoring, management, and control of the power or energy system facilities. Thus, the integration of these technologies into the energy grid system created a smart, complex, and interdependent system. This system is established and referred to as a smart grid cyber physical power system (SGCPPS). The performances of cyber physical systems are achieved via computation and communication and are imperatively based on a real-time feedback mechanism. In reference to the energy system, monitoring and control of the grid systems is extremely essential in ensuring efficient power supply, quality, reliability, stability and resilience among other determinants. However, their interdependence and integrated nature exposes the grid to disturbances subsequently leading to faults in the grid. Hence, failure to know the grid conditions at a particular period subjugates it to complete system collapse. This paper focused on the development of a mathematical model for a smart gird cyber physical system. Additionally, simulations were performed to study the behaviour of the Smart grid cyber-physical power system (SGCPPS) with regards to monitoring and controlling the physical systems using MATLAB Simulink tool to facilitate system awareness.

Abstract

The development of Software Defined Networking (SDN) has altered the landscape of computer networking in recent years. Its scalable architecture has become a blueprint for the design of several advanced future networks. To achieve improve and efficient monitoring, control and management capabilities of the network, software defined networks differentiate or decouple the control logic from the data forwarding plane. As a result, logical control is centralized solely in the controller. Due to the centralized nature, SDNs are exposed to several vulnerabilities such as Spoofing, Flooding, and primarily Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) among other attacks. In effect, the performance of SDN degrades based on these attacks. This paper presents a comprehensive review of several DoS and DDoS defense/mitigation strategies and classifies them into distinct classes with regards to the methodologies employed. Furthermore, suggestions were made to enhance current mitigation strategies accordingly.

Abstract

This paper describes the development of a high frequency (HF) antenna for high output power vicinity coupling devices (VCDs) operating at 13.56 MHz. Key design parameters, such as RF power level, antenna size, and communication protocol, and their link to the antenna features and requirements, have been discussed. For efficient reader interrogation, detection, and recovery of transponder responses, a tuning circuit necessary to adjust the antenna power matching and resonance characteristics was designed and prototyped. The antenna was fed to an industry standard reader and evaluated for read range performance with vicinity cards. The designed antenna on the reader achieved a good read range, which demonstrated fair agreement with the calculated theoretical results.

Abstract

Since their inception, mobile robots have enormously changed the landscape of robotics engineering in recent years. Imperatively, the impact of mobile robots has positively transformed many sectors of human endeavors, i.e., complemented and substituted humans in areas where human interactions were difficult, hazardous, and impossible to thrive and operate. In this regard, the contributions of mobile robots to scientific, social, and economic growth, development, and advancement cannot be overlooked, especially through its decades of transition from Industry 3.0 to 4.0 over the years. To achieve maximum benefits from the use of mobile robots across all important facets, their advancements and technologies need to be continuously improved to address all relevant issues with regard to associated challenges in navigation, control, remote sensing, and tele-operability. This paper presents a comprehensive review of selected key areas of mobile robot technology where major advancements have been made and are currently ongoing to solve numerous problems effectively with less human effort. In addition, highlights of the challenges faced by mobile robots and autonomous vehicle control have been extensively discussed and recommendations have been given to enhance the efficient and safe use of mobile robots in the event of a change in task complexity in all essentials of human life.

Abstract

When considering Industrial Robots, one often envisions large-scale mechanical systems integrated within manufacturing facilities, specifically designed to transport objects across assembly lines, perform complex assembly tasks, and handle material manipulation with high precision. These robots are capable of performing repetitive and demanding operations, but if proper safety protocols are not implemented, they can pose serious safety hazards to human workers. While these perceptions are accurate, they do not fully capture the complexity and extensive scope of industrial robotics. This review, supported by an exhaustive analysis of numerous technical reviews, academic papers, and research studies conducted over multiple years, synthesizes these findings to provide a comprehensive and sophisticated understanding of industrial robotics. It covers the intricacies of engineering design, including kinematic and dynamic modeling, as well as the development of advanced algorithms and control systems that enable precise, real-time operations. Additionally, it highlights the critical role these robots play in boosting productivity, ensuring operational efficiency, and maintaining consistency in manufacturing processes. With recent advancements in artificial intelligence, new perspectives have emerged regarding control and modeling strategies, paving the way for the development of cognitive robots capable of autonomous decision-making and adaptive behavior, thus opening exciting prospects for the future of industrial automation.
