Abstract

This paper aims to model and control the dual-fed asynchronous generator (DFIG). The modeling and vector control were simulated using MATLAB, followed by the application of the Backstepping control strategy. A comparative study between two DFIG control strategies, fuzzy logic control (FLC) and Back-stepping control, was conducted. The results for the Backstepping approach are discussed and compared with FLC, highlighting that the Backstepping technique addresses robustness issues regarding variations in operating conditions and internal parameters. Both control strategies are applied to a wind turbine system, and the simulation results and robustness tests are analyzed.

Abstract

This study investigates the application of metaheuristic algorithms to solve the inverse kinematics (IK) problem in robotic manipulators, which is often challenging for high-degree-of-freedom systems. The research contribution is the comparative evaluation of four recent metaheuristic algorithms—Ant Colony Optimization, Mayfly Optimization Algorithm, Stochastic Paint Optimizer, and Ant Lion Optimizer—across different robot configurations. A kinematic analysis was conducted on three robotic arms: a 4-DOF SCARA, a 6-DOF ABB IRB 1600, and the dual-arm 15-DOF Motoman SDA20D/12L. For each manipulator, the end-effector pose was optimized by solving the IK problem using the selected algorithms. A total of 30 random target positions were tested within the operational space to ensure diversity in pose challenges; while not exhaustive, this sampling provides statistically informative trends. We evaluate each algorithm based on the number of optimal solutions obtained, the precision of the computed joint configurations, and execution time. The results indicate that the Mayfly Optimization Algorithm consistently delivered the highest precision with relatively low execution time across all robot types. In contrast, the Ant Lion Optimizer showed inconsistent performance in higher-DOF settings. Unlike traditional Jacobian-based or analytical IK methods, metaheuristics offer flexibility in handling complex, nonlinear systems without requiring gradient information. These findings provide practical insight for selecting suitable algorithms in real-world robotic applications.

Abstract

The aim of this project is to design and develop an autonomous rover equipped with a KUKA robotic arm. This mobile vehicle will be able to move autonomously thanks to the use of machine learning techniques. It will also be able to detect and retrieve objects using the KUKA arm. The rover will feature Mecanum wheels for improved maneuverability and will be controlled by a Raspberry Pi 3 board, with machine learning algorithms implemented using TensorFlow and Python. The development process will follow the V-methodology. The use of such an autonomous rover and its manipulative capabilities opens the way to many practical applications, including sampling in dangerous or difficult-to-access environments, search and rescue operations in the event of natural disasters or industrial accidents, and inspection and maintenance of industrial or construction sites. The rover could also be used for educational purposes, enabling students to explore the concepts of robotics and artificial intelligence.

Abstract

Among the issues that solar systems face is partial shadowing that can be caused by many factors, such as trees, buildings, or clouds. A shaded module will produce less energy, which reduces the power supplied by a solar system based on PV panels. The purpose of this study is to model and simulate photovoltaic modules based on an ideal single and double diode. After that, we will simulate five configurations formed by nine photovoltaic solar panels: series (S), parallel (P), series-parallel (SP), bridge-link (BL), and total-cross-tied (TCT) under uniform and non-uniform cases (center, diagonal, and frame). These five PV solar configurations are compared in terms of short circuit currents (ISC), open circuit voltages (VOC), peak powers (PMP), the voltage and current values corresponding to maximum power (VMP, IMP), mismatch power loss (MPL), fill factor (FF), efficiency ratio (ER), and overall maximum power (OMP). The six PV configurations are simulated, considering the parameters of the STM6-40/36 PV module.
