Abstract

In this paper the authors present the development of a novel transport mechanism designed to perform gravity survey work on difficult terrain. Thus, in the first part of the paper the authors present review and analysis of existing patents and commercial developments of transport platforms capable of stabilizing loads while travelling in urban environments with potholes and steps. In the second part we present technical solution of a steerable suspension with a torsion bar as an elastic element based on the elimination of the drawbacks of the existing developments. The core feature of this development is the potential ability to adapt the suspension to different types of surfaces by changing the elastic characteristics of the torsion bar. We also propose an alternative to the generally accepted kinematic scheme by using a conical gearbox, which allows to achieve a tight arrangement of suspension mechanisms within the dimensions of the transport platform. In addition, authors propose the stabilization mechanism, that allows to change the clearance of the transport platform and provides stabilization of the gravity exploration research equipment, characterized by sensitivity to deviations from the vertical.

Abstract

Robots are mostly optimized for tasks that require strength exceeding that of humans or for operations in hazardous environments. The fire-fighting robot developed has multiple sensing capabilities with obstacle avoidance mechanisms and is divided into two units: the robot and the static unit. The robot is equipped with three flame sensors to detect flames (infrared radiation) in three directions, an ultrasonic sensor to avoid obstacles, a wireless receiver to receive data from the static unit, a magnetometer giving the robot a sense of direction, and a unit of Arduino Mega microcontroller serving as the central controlling platform. The static unit has four flame sensors and a transmitter that transmits signals to the robot unit, which an Arduino Uno directly controls. A prototype was developed, which helps prevent the escalation of fires in the home as it can detect, navigate and extinguish flames while avoiding obstacles autonomously.

Abstract

Methane emissions from leak sources can have a negative climate impact, in addition to contributing to the risk of explosions in urban environments. These risks can be minimized by developing systems that provide for an accurate and timely detection and localization of a gas leakage point. This research used a swarm of robots to detect and locate a leakage point. The localization algorithm derives from further optimization of the gradient climbing algorithm using fireflies acting as opportunistic agents. Firefly agents are characterized by their bioluminescent communication which guides them to dynamically adjust their positions and intensities based on the quality of the gradient information available to them. The proposed research focuses on enhancing gas leak detection through the development of a hybrid gradient climbing algorithm. This algorithm integrates gradient climbing techniques with swarm intelligence, utilizing the strengths of both approaches. This simulation resulted in the hybrid algorithm leading to a reduced convergence time and path lengths when compared to the swarm without opportunistic agents. The suggested approach can be important especially in gas distribution systems or in areas where human intervention is considered to be unsafe.

Abstract

This research brings innovation to the motion and navigation system of the ‘DK-ONE’ robot. In the 2021 Indonesian ‘Search and Rescue’ robot contest, the ‘DK-ONE’ robot faced difficulties moving towards the target room. The issue was attributed to an unbalanced frame construction and friction between the robot’s legs and the arena floor, leading to leg slippage. This resulted in a mismatch between the programmed number of steps for the robot and the desired path to the target space, causing errors in the robot’s system. To address these problems, researchers conducted a study aimed at enabling the ‘DK-ONE’ robot to accurately determine its direction of motion. This research followed the waterfall method, involving stages such as system analysis, design, coding, testing, and supporting phases. The study was carried out in the integrated laboratory of the Department of Electrical Engineering Education. The development of the robot’s motion direction using a compass sensor significantly improved stability while walking on straight, flat, and uneven paths. The robot no longer experienced errors in its motion direction and remained on the intended path. As a result, the increased efficiency in robot motion also positively impacted the structural efficiency and energy consumption of the robot.

Abstract

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a network consisting of self-governing sensors that are deployed in space and communicate with each other using wireless technology to monitor physical or environmental variables. These networks generally include compact, inexpensive sensor nodes equipped with sensing, processing, and communication functionalities. WSNs are specifically engineered to gather data from their immediate environment, do local data processing, and subsequently communicate pertinent information either to a central hub or to other interconnected nodes within the network. Continuous research in the domain of WSNs is devoted to advancing security concerns, developing novel sensing technologies, and optimizing communication protocols. The advancements in these domains enhance the ongoing development and efficiency of WSNs. The WSNs are very important for getting information from the real world in many situations. WSNs are flexible tools for keeping an eye on and controlling different environments because they have sensor nodes, wireless communication, and distributed processing. WSNs use network-on-chip (NoC) communication architecture to connect sensor nodes. The article explains the introduction to WSN, the background of wireless communication, motivation, ZigBee protocol, and WSN applications.

Abstract

Research investigations in the realm of micro-robotics often center around strategies addressing the multi-robot task allocation (MRTA) problem. Our contribution delves into the collaborative dynamics of micro-robots deployed in targeted hostile environments. Employing advanced algorithms, these robots play a crucial role in enhancing and streamlining operations within sensitive areas. We adopt a tailored GREEDY approach, strategically adjusting weight parameters in a multi-objective function that serves as a cost metric. The objective function, designed for optimization purposes, aggregates the cost functions of all agents involved. Our evaluation meticulously examines the MRTA efficiency for each micro-robot, considering dependencies on factors such as radio connectivity, available energy, and the absolute and relative availability of agents. The central focus is on validating the positive trend associated with an increasing number of agents constituting the cluster. Our methodology introduces a trio of micro-robots, unveiling a flexible strategy aimed at detecting individuals at risk in demanding environments. Each micro-robot within the cluster is equipped with logic that ensures compatibility and cooperation, enabling them to effectively execute assigned missions. The implementation of MRTA-based collaboration algorithms serves as an adaptive strategy, optimizing agents' mobility based on specific criteria related to the characteristics of the target site.
