Abstract

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been widely reported for its useful applications in assessing internal fruit qualities. Motivated by apple consumption in the global market, this study aims to evaluate the possibility of applying NIR imaging to detect slight bruises in apple fruits. A simple optical setup was designed, and low-cost system components were used to promote the future development of practical and cost-efficient devices. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, slight bruises were created by a mild impact with a comparably low impact energy of only 0.081 Joules. Experimental results showed that 100% of bruises in Jazz and Gala apples were accurately detected immediately after bruising and within 3 hours of storage. Thus, it is promising to develop customer devices to detect slight bruises for not only apple fruits but also other fruits with soft and thin skin at their early damage stages.

Abstract

The tiny machine learning (TinyML) has been considered to applied on the edge devices where the resource-constrained micro-controller units (MCUs) were used. Finding a good platform to deploy the TinyML effectively is very crucial. The paper aims to propose a multiple micro-controller hardware platform for productively running the TinyML model. The proposed hardware consists of two dual-core MCUs. The first MCU is utilized for acquiring and processing input data, while the second is responsible for executing the trained TinyML network. Two MCUs communicate to each other using the universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) protocol. The multi-tasking programming technique is mainly applied on the first MCU to optimize the pre-processing new data. A three-phase motors faults classification TinyML model was deployed on the proposed system to evaluate the effectiveness. The experimental results prove that our proposed hardware platform was improved 34.8% the total inference time including pre-processing data of the proposed TinyML model in comparing with single micro-controller hardware platform.

Abstract

The ball and beam system is a nonlinear and inherently unstable single input, multiple-output (SIMO) system, which poses significant challenges for control design. Intelligent control algorithms are often applied to autonomously control complex systems when there are changes in parameters or the control environment. Therefore, in this paper, we research and develop two methods: proportional integral derivative (PID) and single neuron adaptive (SNA)-PID-recurrent fuzzy neural network identifier (RFNNI) to control the ball and beam system. Simulation results on MATLAB/Simulink show that the SNA-PID-RFNNI controller provides a more stable output signal than the traditional PID controller, with minimal overshoot and a settling time of about 15 seconds. Next, we will conduct real-time experiments on the object using the proposed algorithm through the MEGA2560 control board with an ultrasonic positioning mechanism.
