Abstract

Concrete is a common construction material whose quality depends on parameters such as compressive strength and split tensile strength. To reduce the environmental impact of river sand use, this study evaluates the use of sea sand as a partial replacement for fine Aggregate. Although sea sand contains salt, special treatment can reduce its salt content and is expected to improve the quality of high-grade concrete. The objectives of this study were to assess the impact of sea sand on the mechanical strength of concrete and to determine the optimum percentage of sea sand in high-quality concrete mixtures. This study used compressive strength, split tensile strength, and shear strength testing methods with variations in sea sand content in concrete mixtures of 0%, 25%, 50%, and 100%. The tests were conducted using a Compression Testing Machine (CTM). The results showed that using sea sand reduced the mechanical strength of concrete. Compressive strength decreased from 43.09 MPa to 29.91 MPa, splitting tensile strength decreased from 4.23 MPa to 1.21 MPa, and shear strength decreased from 10.23 MPa to 5.97 MPa with an increase in the percentage of sea sand. Therefore, it can be concluded that although sea sand can be used, its use in large quantities reduces the mechanical strength of concrete. The optimum percentage must be adjusted to balance sustainability and structural strength.

Abstract

This research introduces a prototype drug delivery robot that is controlled entirely through finger gestures, without the need for direct touch or additional physical control devices. The system utilizes a Pi Camera connected to a Raspberry Pi to capture the image of the user's hand, which is then processed by MediaPipe Hands to perform detection and extraction of 21 point landmarks in real-time. The position and relationship between landmarks are converted into a five-bit binary vector that represents which finger is raised. This binary data is then sent via serial communication to the STM32 Nucleo microcontroller, which is tasked with translating the binary pattern into motion commands (forward, backward, turn right/left, stop) to drive the DC motor. The results of testing the gesture recognition system, which was performed 30 times for each command, showed a high success rate. The gesture Stop achieved perfect success (30/30), followed by 'Forward' and 'Right' with 10 successes, and 'Backward' and 'Left' with 9 successes. This test shows that the system is able to respond accurately to gesture commands at a distance of 20 to 250 cm. The robot was also able to execute all motion commands responsively and accurately according to the recognized gestures. This prototype proves that MediaPipe can be an efficient and reliable method to implement gesture-based robot control on resource-constrained embedded platforms, as well as potentially applied in healthcare environments to minimize physical contact.
