Abstract

The study aimed to develop a non-invasive pulmonary vibration device, specifically tailored for pediatric patients, to address a range of pulmonary conditions. The device employs a PID control system to ensure consistent and precise vibrations. The primary contribution of this research is the successful development, testing, and implementation of this innovative device. Utilizing technical components such as an Arduino, a vibration DC motor, and an ADXL335 accelerometer, the device was engineered to deliver stable and continuous vibrations even when subjected to external pressures or interactions with the patient. Controllers, including P, PI, PD, and PID types, were rigorously compared. The Ziegler-Nichols tuning technique was applied for meticulous evaluation of vibration control specifically within the context of this non-invasive pulmonary vibration device. Our findings revealed that the PID controller displayed superior accuracy in vibration control compared to P, PI, and PD controllers. Clinical trials involving pediatric patients showed that the PID-controlled device achieved treatment outcomes comparable to conventional methods. The device's precise control of vibration strength provides an added benefit, making it a well-tolerated, non-invasive treatment option for various pulmonary conditions in pediatric patients. Future research is necessary to assess the long-term effectiveness of the device and to facilitate its integration into standard clinical practice. In summary, this study represents a significant advancement in pediatric pulmonary care, demonstrating the critical role that PID control systems adapted for non-invasive pulmonary vibration devices can play in enhancing treatment precision and outcomes.

Abstract

This research aimed to design and construct an electric wheelchair with mecanum wheels that can move in any desired direction and speed based on the joystick controller. This represents a significant improvement over traditional electric wheelchairs, which are limited to linear movement in a single direction. The research contribution of this study is the development of an electric wheelchair with mecanum wheels that allows for improved mobility and independence for wheelchair users. The design includes a joystick controller and the use of an average filter to improve the processing of the joystick. This represents a significant improvement over traditional electric wheelchairs, which are limited to linear movement in a single direction. The design and construction of the electric wheelchair followed the ISO 2570-2555 guidelines and utilized Arduino DUE as the main processor for controlling the rotation of the wheels. The gain of speed and angle of the analog joystick were determined using the technique of finding the resultant vector to control the direction and speed of the wheels. The resulting electric wheelchair had a standard structure and was able to move in the desired direction and speed based on the movement of the joystick controller, demonstrating the success of the design and construction in achieving its objective. In conclusion, the development of joystick control for electric wheelchairs is important and allows for the creation of significantly novel and improved designs such as the electric wheelchair with mecanum wheels presented in this research.

Abstract

This research examines a hybrid fuzzy-expert system for the control of robotic manipulators, integrating the flexibility of fuzzy logic with the analytical decision-making capabilities of expert systems. The hybrid system switches dynamically between triangle membership functions, which facilitate smooth transitions, and trapezoidal membership functions, which efficiently manage sudden step changes. This adaptive technique mitigates the shortcomings of independent fuzzy logic controllers, particularly their inconsistency across varied setpoints. Simulation outcomes demonstrate substantial decreases in overshoot and settling time, as well as enhanced adaptability and flexibility in dynamic settings. A comparison test shows that the hybrid system is better than separate triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy controllers because it chooses the best control strategy based on the setpoint attributes in real time. Although there are occasional compromises in accuracy (IAE and RMSE), the hybrid controller provides balanced performance appropriate for various robotic applications. The results confirm its viability as a dependable option for industrial and medical robots, particularly in applications necessitating precision control and adaptability.

Abstract

This study offers a systematic approach to improving the reconstruction of three-dimensional anatomical models from CT imaging data. The main difficulty tackled is the maintenance of internal bone features during denoising, essential for producing clinically relevant models. A nonlinear filtering strategy was implemented, utilizing a 3×3 median filter alongside manual refinement to eliminate salt-and-pepper noise while preserving anatomical information. The study presents a reproducible image-processing pipeline that improves structural clarity and enables material-efficient 3D printing while preserving internal bone integrity. A publicly available dataset including 813 anonymized chest CT scans (512×512 pixels, 16-bit grayscale) from Zenodo was employed. Preprocessing included grayscale normalization, brightness adjustment, and the application of median filters with kernel sizes from 3×3 to 9×9, followed by artifact removal using FlashPrint software before STL conversion. The 3×3 median filter achieved an excellent balance between noise reduction and anatomical clarity, outperforming mean filtering and larger kernels in maintaining edge detail. Although statistical evaluation was not conducted, visual analysis validated an 18.07 percent decrease in print time and a 17.88 percent reduction in filament consumption. The technology exhibited actual efficacy in generating high-quality anatomical models. Future endeavors will incorporate automated segmentation and sophisticated denoising methodologies to enhance applicability in surgical simulation, clinical education, and personalized healthcare planning.
