Abstract

Facial expression recognition (FER) is vital for improving human-robot interaction (HRI). This study presents the deployment and evaluation of an optimized FER model on android devices, specifically tested on the Temi V3 robot in controlled environments. Trained using FER+ and CK+ datasets and optimized with TensorFlow Lite (TFLite) and MobileNetV2, the model achieved a validation accuracy of 92.32%. Its performance was assessed on the Temi V3 robot and a Samsung A52 smartphone, focusing on CPU usage, memory, and power consumption. Cross-device compatibility and real-time performance challenges were addressed through model quantization and thread optimization. Real-time testing on the Temi V3 showed an overall accuracy of 82.28%, with emotion-specific accuracies ranging from 46.19% to 92.28%. This study offers practical insights for optimizing FER systems across android platforms, with potential applications in education, healthcare, and customer service. The results support the feasibility of implementing FER models as backends in android applications, enabling more intuitive and responsive HRI. Future work will focus on improving model efficiency for lower-end devices and exploring on-device learning techniques to boost accuracy in diverse real-world environments.

Abstract

Approximate computing is a low-power circuit design strategy that trades off computational accuracy for gains in speed, power efficiency, and area reduction. This approach achieves considerable power and area efficiency by introducing acceptable errors. The acceptable error in computation systems refers to a loss in accuracy that does not affect overall system performance. Approximate computing is mainly suitable for multimedia and signal processing applications. In this work, a novel approximate carry look-ahead adder (CLA) based on logical level modification is proposed. The new carry prediction term is derived to reduce the overall propagation delay of the addition operation. The proposed multi-bit adder design uses a square root based division method to partition the adder stages. Moreover, the proposed adder is applied in finite impulse response (FIR) filter implementation to evaluate the performance in real-time applications. The proposed adder and FIR filter are coded in Verilog and verified using the Xilinx simulator. The result shows that the proposed FIR filter achieves better results in terms of all parameters.

Abstract

Accurate state of charge (SOC) estimation is critical for the reliable operation of battery management systems (BMS) in electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage applications. This paper presents a method for online identification of Thevenin model (TM) parameters and SOC estimation using the extended Kalman filter (EKF). The objective is to improve estimation accuracy by precisely characterizing the SOC-dependent variations of model parameters, including open-circuit voltage (VOCV), internal resistance R1, polarization resistance R2, and capacitance C2. These parameters are identified using least squares regression based on experimental discharge data from a 1.83 Ah lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery. The resulting model is validated under pulsed discharge conditions, achieving a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.0059 V and root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.0074 V, indicating high modeling accuracy. Subsequently, an EKF algorithm is implemented using the identified model to estimate SOC in real time. Experimental results show excellent performance with an SOC estimation MAE of 0.059% and RMSE of 0.0798%, demonstrating high precision, fast convergence, and stability. The method effectively combines empirical parameter identification with a recursive filtering technique, offering a practical and embeddable solution for BMS applications. The study concludes that accurate parameter modeling significantly enhances EKF-based SOC estimation, providing a robust foundation for real-time battery monitoring and control.

Abstract

While conventional optical character recognition (OCR) systems can digitize text, they struggle with diverse handwriting styles, noisy inputs, and unstructured layouts, limiting their effectiveness. This study proposes enhanced large language model whisperer (ELLMW), a vision–language framework for accurate text extraction (TE) from fully handwritten scripts. The methodology integrates advanced preprocessing (noise reduction, binarization, and skew correction), deep learning–based handwriting recognition convolutional neural network–long short-term memory (CNN–LSTM), and LLM-based post-correction to ensure context-aware and structurally coherent outputs. The system converts scanned images, portable document formats (PDFs), and irregularly formatted answer sheets into machine-readable text, while automatically correcting errors in spelling, grammar, and layout. Experimental evaluation on a curated dataset of handwritten examination answer scripts (HEAS) demonstrates that ELLMW achieves 97.8% accuracy, 1.04%-character error rate (CER), and 3.24%-word error rate, outperforming widely used OCR tools including Tesseract, EasyOCR, Google Cloud Vision (GCV), PaddleOCR, ABBYY FineReader, and Transym OCR. The results highlight the model’s robustness across varying handwriting styles, noisy backgrounds, and complex document structures.

Abstract

The proposed enhanced U-shaped microstrip antenna is conceived with the aim of meeting the emerging needs of super wideband (SWB) applications in contemporary wireless communication systems. An efficient upgraded U-shaped patch design, in combination with substrate enhancements and impedance matching methods, is introduced in this work to remarkably increase the operational bandwidth, gain, and radiation efficiency of antenna. The antenna aims SWB achievement with the help of optimized dimensions and it is designed in such a way that it minimizes ground wave losses. It maximizes the impedance matching over a frequency range of 2 MHz to 20 GHz. Through various simulation outputs and experimental verifications, the antenna designed demonstrates excellent performance with a broad impedance bandwidth greater than 100% and the radiation patterns that are stable beyond entire frequency band. This work illustrates that the enhanced U-shaped microstrip antenna can attain the needs of next-generation communication technologies with specific criteria, and it establishes an efficient solution to SWB systems without sacrificing performance, cost, or size issues.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of pest infestations poses a significant threat to global agricultural productivity, often resulting in substantial yield losses and economic damage. To address this challenge, this paper proposes an intelligent, cloud-enabled pest detection and classification framework leveraging state-of-the-art deep learning techniques. The proposed system integrates YOLOv8 for rapid and accurate pest detection with EfficientNet-B7 for fine-grained species-level classification. The framework is trained and evaluated using the Pestopia dataset, which contains annotated images representing diverse pest species. To enhance data diversity, robustness, and model generalization, data augmentation techniques such as center cropping and horizontal flipping are applied during preprocessing. YOLOv8 is employed to detect and localize pest instances within images, while EfficientNet-B7 extracts high-level discriminative features from detected regions to enable precise species identification. Furthermore, the system incorporates cloud-based real-time monitoring through Adafruit IO, enabling scalable, remote access to pest information for timely decision-making. The performance of the proposed framework is evaluated using standard metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, achieving values of 97.8%, 98.9%, 98.4%, and 98.9%, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of the proposed approach for real-time pest management. The cloud-integrated architecture facilitates proactive pest control strategies, supporting smarter, data-driven agricultural practices, and improved crop protection.

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of an artificial intelligence of things (AIoT)-based system that integrates deep learning and edge computing for real-time non-invasive health monitoring, focusing on the estimation of mean arterial pressure (MAP) alongside vital parameters such as heart rate (HR), blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂), and body temperature. Photoplethysmography (PPG) and electrocardiography (ECG) signals are acquired using low-power MAX30102 and AD8232 sensors, preprocessed with lightweight digital filters, and processed through a 1D convolutional neural network (CNN) deployed on a SEEED Studio XIAO ESP32S3 microcontroller. The model trained using the cuff-less blood pressure estimation dataset, achieved a mean absolute error (MAE) of 2.51 mmHg on the embedded microcontroller and 2.93 mmHg when validated against a standard blood pressure monitor. Experimental results demonstrate high accuracy, achieving a MAE below 5 mmHg, thereby meeting the AAMI and British Hypertension Society (BHS) Grade A standards for blood pressure measurement. The system achieves real-time inference with an average latency of 16 ms and efficient memory utilization, ensuring suitability for wearable and embedded devices. Physiological data are transmitted via Wi-Fi to a Firebase cloud platform and visualized through a cross-platform mobile application. The proposed system demonstrates strong potential for remote healthcare applications, particularly in continuous monitoring and early health risk detection.

Abstract

Call centers are vital to business operations worldwide, acting as the primary interface between companies and their customers. They handle customer inquiries, manage complaints, and facilitate telephonic sales, making them essential to customer service. However, ensuring quality in the call center industry remains challenging, primarily due to the heavy reliance on call center representatives (CSRs) who manage high volumes of calls. Traditional methods of evaluating CSR performance often rely on manual assessments of small call samples, which can be time-consuming and limited in scope. With the advancement of deep learning techniques (DLTs), there is an opportunity to more accurately assess CSR performance. This study introduces the selecting minimal features for call center agents efficiency (SMFCCE) approach, which optimizes feature selection from CSR data to enhance classification accuracy and speed. The proposed method achieves approximately 85% accuracy, offering valuable insights and recommendations for improving overall call center operations.

Abstract

The process of heart disease prediction is based on patient medical information, which can be addressed in terms of medical image as well as the results of an electrocardiogram (ECG) conducted to determine the risk of developing heart disease. The hybrid deep learning (DL) algorithms are developed using past data that can identify trends related to cardiovascular disease (CVDs). In the current paper, it is possible to offer a new method of heart disease prediction that would combine high-quality image processing and hybrid DL to enhance the effectiveness of predictions and avoid the shortcomings of the modern approaches. First, medical images like ECG images are pre-processed with butterworth adaptive 2D wavelet filter, which ensures maximal noise reduction, followed by maintenance of spatial and frequency information. The Gabor Wavelet-based feature extraction technique is applied to extract meaningful patterns, including both spatial and frequency domain information, which is essential for detecting heart-related anomalies. The resultant features are then categorized, along with both convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM), to make reliable and precise predictions of heart disease. The performance indicators, including accuracy (92.4%), precision (91.2%), recall (93.5%), and F1-score (91.0%), are utilized. Applying the model yields significant levels of reliability and generalization compared to traditional applications.

Abstract

A home grocery list is a crucial aspect of household management that ensures sufficient kitchen supplies. The classic pen-and-paper grocery list is ineffective since it is time-consuming and prone to human error. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a microcontroller-based home grocery listing system using a barcode scanner and speech recognition. The proposed system consists of hardware and a mobile application. The main hardware components are the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, MH-ET barcode scanner v3.0, 20×4 LCD, and 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard. The mobile application is developed using the MIT App Inventor. Through the hardware, the system receives user input from barcode scanning or manual data entry using the keyboard. The data captured using a barcode scanner or keyboard is stored in the memory. Subsequently, the data is transmitted to the mobile application of the home grocery listing system via WiFi. Moreover, the mobile application is also equipped with user input via speech recognition and manual data entry using the keyboard. Hence, users have the flexibility to input the grocery list using four methods within the system. The developed home grocery listing system gives a new, satisfying experience to the users and a convenient way for them to make a home grocery list.
