Abstract

Incorrect parameter tuning of crossover and mutation rates in Genetic Algorithms (GA) can negatively impact their effectiveness and efficiency in mobile robot pathfinding. This study focuses on improving the performance of wheeled mobile robots in grid-based environments by introducing a Dynamic Crossover and Mutation Rates (DCMR) strategy within the GA framework. The primary contribution of this research is enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of mobile robot pathfinding, resulting in shorter average path lengths and faster convergence times. Additionally, this method addresses the challenge of selecting appropriate GA parameters while increasing the algorithm's adaptability to different phases of the search process. The DCMR approach involves linearly increasing the crossover rate by 10% (from 0% to 100%) and decreasing the mutation rate by 10% (from 100% to 0%) over every 10 generations during the GA's evolution. Unlike fixed parameter tuning or exponential and sigmoid parameter tuning—both of which require trial and error to determine optimal values—the DCMR method provides a systematic and efficient solution without additional computational cost. Experiments were conducted across eight scenarios featuring varying distances between the start and target points, with two obstacles randomly placed in the robot's environment. The results showed that implementing the DCMR method consistently identified the optimal path, reduced average path lengths by 0.99%, and accelerated algorithm convergence by 48.39% compared to fixed parameter tuning. These findings demonstrate that the DCMR method significantly enhances the performance of GAs for mobile robot pathfinding, offering a reliable and efficient approach for navigating complex environments.

Abstract

Recognition of human hitting movement in a more specific context of sports like boxing is still a hard task because the existing systems use manual observation which could be easily flawed and highly inaccurate. However, in this study, an attempt is made to present an automated system designed for this purpose to detect a specific hitting movement commonly known as a punch using video input and image processing techniques. The system employs Motion History Image (MHI) to model trajectories of motions and combine them with other parameters to reconstruct movements which tend to have a temporal component. Thus, CCTV cameras set at different positions (front, back, left and right) enable the system to identify several types of punches including Jab, Hook, Uppercut and Combination punches. The most important aspect of this work is the proposal of MHI and the Ellipse approximation which is quicker in the integration of both than other sophisticated systems which take a considerable duration in computations. Therefore, the system classifies C_motion, Sigma Theta, and Sigma Rho parameters to distress hitting from non-hitting movements. Evaluation on a dataset captured from multiple viewpoints establishes that the system performs well achieving the goal of 93 percent when detecting both the hitting and the non-hitting motion. These results demonstrate the system’s superiority to the system based such detection methods. This study paves the way for other applications in real-time such as sports analysis, security surveillance, and healthcare requiring greater efficiency in and accuracy of human movement assessment. The focus of future work may be in the direction of improving the recognition of slower movements, also modifying the system for more dynamic conditions in the future.

Abstract

Direct Current (DC) motors are extensively used in various applications due to their versatile and precise control capabilities. However, they face operational challenges such as speed instability and sensitivity to load variations and external disturbances. This study compares the performance of several advanced control methods—Proportional Integral Derivative (PID), Fractional Order PID (FOPID), Integral State Feedback (ISF), Sliding Mode Control (SMC), and Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) for DC motor control. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is employed to optimize the tuning parameters of PID, FOPID, ISF, and SMC controllers, while FLC is implemented without optimization. The simulation results indicate that the PSO-FOPID controller exhibits the best overall performance, characterized by the fastest rise and settling times and the lowest ITSE, despite a minor overshoot. The PSO-PID controller also performs well, with fast response times, although it is less efficient in terms of settling time and ITSE compared to PSO-FOPID. The OBL/HGSO-PID controller, while stable and overshoot-free, has a slower response. The PSO-ISF controller shows the highest stability with the lowest SSE values, making it suitable for applications requiring high stability. The PSO-SMC controller demonstrates good stability but is slightly slower than PSO-ISF. The FLC controller, however, performs the worst, with significant overshoot and long recovery times, making it unsuitable for fast and precise control applications.  The robustness analysis under varying motor parameters further confirms the superiority of the PSO-FOPID controller, which outperforms OBL/HGSO and OBL-MRFO-SA optimizations across both PID and FOPID controllers, making it the most effective solution for applications requiring high precision and rapid response.

Abstract

Mobile robots are increasingly used in various applications that require precise trajectory tracking and efficient obstacle avoidance. Dynamic Feedback Linearization (DFL) is powerful method, however, it’s has limitations such as increased computational requirements, model dependency, inability to avoid obstacles, and reduced robustness. In this paper, we address the challenges of trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance for non-holonomic mobile robots in certain static environments subjected to the challenge of the robot to follow the reference trajectory accurately while avoiding the known obstacle in the trajectory of the robot by switching the two behaviors. The proposed scheme leverages the adaptive performance control to minimize the error between the reference and actual trajectories and avoid the static obstacle successfully. Firstly, the Dynamic Feedback Linearization (DFL) concept is used to develop an efficient tracking control system. Secondly, a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is used to avoid obstacles in the reference trajectory of the robot . Finally, the simulations are conducted using MATLAB software and the TurtleBot2 mobile robot within the 3D Gazebo simulator. According to the simulation results, the proposed approach cuts tracking accuracy and obstacle avoidance success rate by 93% and 95%, respectively. Additionally, experimental validation is carried out with the Adapt Mobilerobots Pioneer-3DX mobile robot, the results obtained from the Robot Operating System (ROS) prove the efficacy of the proposed approach for efficiency and precision.

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease that involves considerable challenges in accurately diagnosing and locating the?affected brain regions. This paper?proposes a new fusion model based on VGG16 and U-Net to achieve accurate segmentation of hippocampus localization and improve AD diagnostic accuracy. Compared to previous techniques such as hierarchical fully?convolutional networks (FCNs) or LBP-TOP localization (an accuracy range of 68% to 95%), our approach achieved a superior accuracy (98.6%) with a mean Jaccard index of 97.3%, like the predicted accuracy range of conventional imaging analysis techniques. By utilizing pre-trained transfer learning models and sophisticated data augmentation methods,?generalization to different datasets greatly reduced over-fitting. Although existing approaches?usually require labor-intensive segmentation or employ handcrafted features, our model automates the hippocampus's localization, leading to improved efficiency and scalability. The effectiveness of our method is strongly supported by the performance metrics including Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Avg. error Standard Deviation which show that MSE values were 5 times lower than those produced using the Hough-CNN based?approach (0.0507 vs. 4.4%). Real-world demands include the need for minimal computational complexity and dependence?on pre-processed ADNI MRI datasets compromising generalizability in actual clinical frameworks. Our results?demonstrated that the fusion model yields superior hippocampal segmentation performance and a new standard for AD diagnostic scores, making a substantial impact on both academic and clinical domains.

Abstract

SIBI is less widely adopted, and the lack of an efficient recognition system limits its accessibility. SIBI gestures often involve subtle hand movements and complex finger configurations, requiring precise feature extraction and classification techniques. This study addresses these issues using a Hand Keypoint-based Convolutional Neural Network (HK-CNN) for SIBI classification. The research utilizes Kinect 2.0 for precise data collection, enabling accurate hand keypoint detection and preprocessing. The optimal data acquisition distance between 50 and 60 cm from the camera is considered to obtain clear and detailed images. The methodology includes four key stages: data collection, preprocessing (keypoint extraction and image filtering), classification using HK-CNN with ResNet-50, EfficientNet, and InceptionV3, and performance evaluation. Experimental results demonstrate that EfficientNet achieves the highest accuracy of 99.1% in the 60:40 data split scenario, with superior precision and recall, making it ideal for real-time applications. ResNet-50 also performs well with 99.3% accuracy in the 20:80 split but requires longer computation time, while InceptionV3 is less efficient for real-time applications. Compared to traditional CNN methods, HK-CNN significantly enhances accuracy and efficiency. In conclusion, this study provides a robust and adaptable solution for SIBI recognition, facilitating inclusivity in education, public services, and workplace communication. Future research should expand dataset diversity and explore dynamic gesture recognition for further improvements.

Abstract

Integrating electrical networks with renewable energy sources in hybrid systems may effectively meet increasing power demands while reducing reliance on traditional energy sources. Wind gusts in wind energy conversion systems (WECSs), along with variations in temperature and irradiance in photovoltaic (PV) systems, render these systems vulnerable. Three-phase faults at the point of common coupling (PCC) can disconnect renewable energy sources (RESs) from the grid, threatening system stability. This study enhances a hybrid PV-WECS system through the implementation of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) to mitigate wind gust effects and maintain RES connectivity during three-phase faults at the point of common coupling (PCC). STATCOM manages reactive power exchange between renewable energy sources and the grid through two PI controllers. The gains of the PI controller are optimized through elephant herding optimization (EHO), demonstrating superior performance compared to particle swarm optimization (PSO) in terms of PCC voltage stability and system efficiency. In three-phase faults, the EHO demonstrates superior performance over the PSO, achieving a PCC voltage of 0.7 in contrast to 0.37, thereby maintaining voltage levels within acceptable limits in the connecting zone according to grid codes. The EHO-optimized PI controllers for the STATCOM successfully reduce the SRG current during this fault, decreasing it from 155 (with PSO) to 111 (with EHO). Under wind gust conditions, the power profile obtained from the SRG is markedly enhanced when employing EHO in comparison to PSO.

Abstract

The Columbia space shuttle catastrophe in 2003 served as the inspiration for this paper’s improved mathematical model, which includes a nonlinear damping Neumann boundary condition. By creating and examining a modified heat equation with piecewise nonlinear source terms and damping Neumann boundary conditions, the study seeks to investigate the incident’s heat transport dynamics. To ensure that the problem is well-posed, we provide strong mathematical arguments for the existence of solutions both locally and globally. In addition, we use numerical simulations to show how the nonlinear boundary conditions affect heat dissipation and to confirm the theoretical results. The findings advance our knowledge of thermal modeling in aircraft applications and offer greater insights into heat propagation under such conditions.

Abstract

Large Scale Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology is a promising technology in wireless communications, and it is already at the heart of many wireless standards. MIMO technologies provide significant performance improvements in terms of data transfer rate and reduction the interference. However, MIMO techniques face large-scale linear dynamic problems such as system stability and it will be possible to overcome this problem by tuning the proportional integral derivative (PID) in continuous systems. The aim of this paper is to design an efficient model for MIMO based on Adaptive Neural Inference System (ANFIS) controller and compare it with a traditional PID controller. and evaluated by objective function as integral time absolute error (ITAE). ANFIS is used to train fuzzy logic systems according to the hybrid learning algorithm. The training involves the fuzzy logic parameters through simulating the validation data to represent a model to know the correctness and effectiveness of the system. It is optimizes the system performance in real time, however, to avoid potential problems such as easy local optimality. In the proposed approach stability is guaranteed as the initial steady-state scheme. ITAE is combined with ANFIS to minimize the steady-state transient time responses between the high-order initial pattern and unit amplitude response. The proposed ANFIS self-tuning controller is evaluated by comparing with the conventional PID. MATLAB simulink is used to illustrate the results and demonstrate the possibility of adopting ANFIS controller. The simulation results showed that the performance of ANFIS controller is better than the PID controller in terms of settling time, undershoot and overshoot time.

Abstract

One of the modern technologies used to improve the performance of various systems, including communications networks and the Internet, is the technology based on biogeography (BBO) that many researchers in the field of automation and control have shed light on. Fuzzy logic is one of the expert systems that has dealt with its use in control systems by many researchers within different applications. The current work has shed light on the mechanism of using The Biogeography Based-Optimization (BBO) technique for adjusting FLC parameters is called (BBO-FLC). The simulation was performed using Matlab program and the researchers adopted the technique as part of the stability of TCP network. The performance of the techniques used in the optimization process can be identified by comparing the results of each case, such as the proposed technique, with other types represented by the traditional control type Proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID). The possibility of using modern and intelligent optimization techniques for the optimal controller is tested using a tuning process for the parameters of the fuzzy type expert controller with the help of the biogeography-based optimization (BBO) technique. The contributions of the research are to verify the possibility of improving the performance by comparing the behavior of the system for the proposed test and simulation cases by obtaining the prescribed level and without exceeding the permissible values.
