Abstract

Injection molding is a crucial manufacturing technology for producing complex, high-quality parts at scale, making it essential in various industries, including consumer electronics and automotive sectors. However, a lack of understanding about how injection parameters impact common defects like sink marks, short shots, and warpage often limits the widespread adoption of injection molding. This research aims to bridge this gap by providing a comprehensive digital simulation of the injection molding process within a complex mold cavity. Utilizing Moldex3D and the Finite Volume Method (FVM), this study characterizes essential material properties–viscosity, specific heat, density, and thermal conductivity–and examines the effects of gate location and part design on minimizing weld lines and warpage. The FVM involves dividing the computational domain into a finite number of small control volumes. This method is particularly well-suited for handling complex geometries and flow conditions, facilitating detailed and accurate simulations. This study employs Moldex3D, a leading simulation software in the field of injection molding, to demonstrate the use of CAE for design verification and process innovation. Moldex3D’s advanced capabilities make it an ideal tool for simulating injection molding processes, helping improve the quality of parts and contributing to the overall advancement of molding skills in the industry. The simulations revealed optimal gate locations that significantly improved filling patterns, reduced warpage by 50%, and minimized weld lines, thereby enhancing overall part quality. Key contributions of this research include the identification of critical flow characteristics, the reduction of defect-prone regions, and the enhancement of plastic component rigidity. This study provides valuable insights into optimizing injection molding processes, offering a pathway to improved efficiency and part quality in advanced manufacturing.

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of improving speed control accuracy and disturbance rejection capability for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs), which are widely used in industrial applications requiring high-performance drives. Conventional controllers such as PID often exhibit limited performance under nonlinear and time-varying conditions. The sliding mode control combined with a Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) is proposed to enhance robustness and adaptability to overcome these limitations. The main contribution of this study is the integration of an adaptive RBFNN to estimate and compensate for unknown disturbances in real time, ensuring precise and stable motor operation. The theoretical stability of the system is guaranteed based on Lyapunov’s theory. The proposed method is implemented in a MATLAB/Simulink environment and tested on the OPAL-RT OP5707XG real-time hardware platform. The control system includes a speed loop using the RBFNN and a current loop for field-oriented control. The motor is subjected to varying speed commands in three stages to evaluate performance under dynamic conditions. Simulation results show that the RBFNN controller significantly improves speed tracking accuracy, reduces overshoot, and adapts better to sudden changes compared to conventional PID control. Real-time experimental results further confirm the effectiveness of the controller, despite the presence of noise and hardware delays. Current control performance also demonstrates better torque production and phase symmetry under dynamic loading with the RBFNN. A comparative analysis between simulation and experimental data highlights the practical applicability of the proposed approach.

Abstract

The increasing demand for drone-based surveillance systems has raised significant concerns about advancements in person and activity recognition based on joint motion features within visual monitoring frameworks. This study contributes to developing deep learning models that improve surveillance systems by using RGB video data recorded by drone cameras. In this study, a framework for person and activity recognition based on 120 datasets is proposed, from drone camera-recorded videos of 10 subjects, each performing six movements: walking, running, jogging, boxing, waving, and clapping. Joint motion features, including joint positions and joint angles, were extracted and processed as one-dimensional series data. The 1D-CNN, LeNet, AlexNet, and AlexNet-LSTM architectures were developed and evaluated for classification tasks. Evaluation results show that AlexNet-LSTM outperformed the other models in person recognition, achieving a classification accuracy of 0.8544, a precision of 0.9161, a recall of 0.8575, and an F1-score of 0.8332, while AlexNet delivered superior performance in activity recognition with an accuracy of 0.8571, a precision of 0.8442, a recall of 0.8599, and an F1-score of 0.8463. The relatively small dataset size used likely favors simpler architectures like AlexNet. These findings highlight the effectiveness of joint motion features for person identification and emphasize the suitability of simpler classifier architectures for activity classification when working with small datasets.

Abstract

This paper presents an advanced methodology for trajectory control of non-holographic mobile robots. It addresses the challenges of dynamic environments and system uncertainty by proposing a fuzzy model predictive control (FMPC) system that combines Type-2 fuzzy logic (F2MPC) with model predictive control (MPC) to enhance tracking accuracy and adaptability.  A Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model changes the MPC weighting matrices in real-time based on speed and distance errors, while the Type-2 fuzzy system handles uncertainties better than Type-1 systems. Tests using circular and wavy trajectories show that the Type-2 Fuzzy MPC (F2MPC) works better than traditional methods, achieving fewer tracking errors (Integral Squared Error of 0.0011), faster convergence (in 1.2 seconds), and using 65% less energy for movement than conventional MPC. Robustness tests show the controller's stability under disturbances, with minimal deviation and quick recovery. The results highlight the F2MPC's precision, efficiency, and adaptability, making it a promising solution for complex robotic navigation tasks.  The study found that Type-2 fuzzy logic and predictive control improve trajectory tracking, paving the path for real-world applications and computational optimisations.

Abstract

Growing demand for warehouse automation requires Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), particularly quadcopters, to operate autonomously with a high level of precision and reliability. However, indoor localization poses unique challenges due to the absence of Global Positioning System (GPS) signals, making alternative sensors and robust control strategies essential. This study proposes an indoor UAV navigation system that integrates camera and LiDAR sensors with Fuzzy–Sliding Mode Control (Fuzzy-SMC) to enhance stability and reduce the chattering effects commonly associated with Sliding Mode Control. In the proposed method, the camera provides better accuracy for real-time position tracking compared to LiDAR, while fuzzy logic adaptively adjusts the Sliding Mode Control parameters, which serve as the main controller for stabilizing the quadcopter’s nonlinear dynamics. Research methodology includes mathematical modeling of the UAV quadcopter, the design of the Fuzzy-SMC controller, and simulation-based testing for trajectory tracking in indoor environments. Results show that the developed system achieves high accuracy, with error values ranging from 0 to 4.044%, remaining below the acceptable threshold of 5%. These findings demonstrate that integration of a camera with Fuzzy-SMC provides an effective and reliable solution for indoor quadcopter UAV navigation, while future research will focus on optimizing the fuzzy rule base and conducting hardware validation in real warehouse scenarios.

Abstract

Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are increasingly integrated into multi-area power systems. However, their fluctuating and unpredictable characteristics pose challenges for sustaining system stability. Therefore, automatic generation control (AGC) is essential for the continual regulation of power and frequency in the system. This article presents the use of a Proportional–Integral–Derivative plus second-order derivative (PID+DD) controller for load frequency control in a three-area multi-source power system, which includes a thermal reheat power plant with a generation rate constraint (GRC) representing the maximum permissible change rate of generation output of 5% per min , a hydroelectric power plant with a  GRC of 370% per min, and a wind power plant where wind speeds vary across areas. The power generation ratio of the three areas is 1:2:4. The controller parameters were tuned using a Chess Optimizer (CO), a metaheuristic inspired by chess move complexity and planning, with specific weights assigned to each type of chess piece. Two load change scenarios were studied: a 10% step load perturbation (10% SLP) and a random load pattern (RLP).  Furthermore, experimental results based on the Integral of Time-weighted Absolute Error (ITAE) indicate that the PID+DD controller tuned by the Chess Optimizer achieved the lowest steady-state error in both scenarios (10% SLP and RLP). In Case 1 (SLP), it achieved an ITAE of 25.5072, representing a 9.70% reduction compared to the PID controller and a 1.96% reduction compared to the PI controller. In Case 2 (RLP), it achieved an ITAE of 88.0654, representing a 1.14% reduction compared to the PID controller and a 2.03% reduction compared to the PI controller. These improvements contribute to enhanced oscillation damping, reduced overshoot and undershoot, and improved frequency stability, demonstrating the practical applicability of the proposed approach in future smart grids with high renewable energy penetration.
