Abstract

The rapid advancement of mechanical and electronic engineering, particularly in heavy equipment and construction automation, requires innovative learning media that effectively bridge theoretical knowledge and practical implementation. Conventional instructional methods often provide limited opportunities for students to develop hands-on experience with complex mechatronic systems. This study presents the design, development, and evaluation of a miniature battery-electric excavator intended as an educational platform for teaching construction robotics, automation, and sustainable engineering principles. The development process followed a structured methodology consisting of conceptual design, mechanical fabrication, electronic integration, simulation, and functional testing. Unlike conventional excavators that rely on hydraulic actuators, the proposed system employs electric motors to drive the boom, arm, and bucket mechanisms, demonstrating an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative. Locomotion is achieved using DC gearbox motors for wheel movement, while an independent DC motor enables 90° rotational motion. The control architecture is based on an Arduino Mega microcontroller integrated with a wireless PS2 joystick, providing intuitive and precise user control. Lightweight aluminum was selected for the backhoe assembly to reduce overall weight, whereas the main chassis was constructed from mild steel to ensure structural strength and operational stability. Experimental evaluation confirmed that the prototype successfully performed essential excavation motions, achieving a maximum horizontal reach of 1,400 mm, a vertical reach of 1,420 mm, an average operating speed of 0.5 m/s, and a maximum speed of 1.0 m/s. With compact dimensions of 800 × 600 × 750 mm, the system is safe, portable, and suitable for laboratory-based education. Furthermore, the platform supports Deep Neural Network (DNN) data generation and reinforcement learning research, providing a cost-effective and safe environment for advancing student competencies in intelligent construction technologies

Abstract

Clean water and sanitation are essential components of a healthy, safe, and sustainable campus environment. At Mulawarman University, increasing numbers of students, lecturers, staff, and other academic community members require adequate water supply and sanitation infrastructure to support educational, administrative, and daily activities. This study aims to develop a long-term plan for clean water provision and sanitation facilities based on projected population growth through 2048. The methodology includes population projection analysis, estimation of clean water demand, assessment of sanitation facility requirements, and planning for solid and liquid waste management. The results indicate that demand for clean water and sanitation infrastructure will increase consistently with the growth of the university population. At the end of the sixth planning period in 2048, the projected served population reaches 64,458 people. This population requires a clean water production capacity of 966.88 m³/day to meet projected demand. Solid-waste management requirements include ten temporary waste-storage facilities (TPS), three dump-truck fleets, and one integrated waste-treatment facility (TPST) with an estimated required area of 1,129.38 m². Meanwhile, wastewater management must accommodate a potential black-water discharge of 96.69 m³/day and grey-water discharge of 676.81 m³/day. Based on these projections, the study recommends developing an integrated clean-water distribution network, improving solid-waste collection and treatment facilities, and establishing an integrated wastewater-management system capable of accommodating future demand. The proposed planning framework is expected to support Mulawarman University in improving environmental quality, strengthening campus sanitation services, and achieving more sustainable infrastructure development. Furthermore, the findings provide a quantitative basis for phased infrastructure investment and long-term campus environmental management through 2048

Abstract

Demand uncertainty complicates inventory decision-making and requires decision-support systems that are both accurate and transparent. However, existing studies primarily emphasize either demand forecasting or inventory optimization, with limited attention to integrating explainability into a unified decision-making framework. This study develops and evaluates an Explainable Optimization Framework that combines Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) for demand forecasting, SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) for model interpretability, and Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) for inventory optimization. The framework was developed following the Design Science Research methodology, encompassing problem identification, artifact development, demonstration, evaluation, and communication. Model performance was assessed using rolling-origin backtesting to provide a robust evaluation under dynamic and uncertain demand conditions. Forecasting accuracy was measured using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Experimental results demonstrate that XGBoost achieved the highest forecasting accuracy, with an RMSE of 43.87, MAE of 33.92, and MAPE of 7.61%. The forecasted demand was subsequently incorporated into the MIP optimization model, resulting in a 22.3% reduction in total inventory cost, an increase in service level from 91.2% to 96.8%, an improvement in fill rate from 89.7% to 95.4%, a 57.1% reduction in stockout frequency, and an increase in inventory turnover from 5.8 to 7.2 compared with the baseline approach. SHAP analysis identified historical demand, promotional activities, and product price as the most influential variables affecting demand predictions, providing transparent explanations that enhance managerial trust and support informed inventory decisions. Overall, the proposed framework demonstrates that integrating forecasting, explainability, and mathematical optimization into a unified decision pipeline significantly improves operational efficiency, inventory performance, decision transparency, and resilient data-driven supply chain management across diverse industrial sectors
