Abstract

Although there are so many CNC routers that have been created all around the world, when this manuscript was written, an integrated CNC router with multi different functions was still not common. In this work, we proposed, designed, fabricated, and evaluated a low-cost CNC Router machine that can perform numerous tasks (i.e., spindle engraving, laser, and plotter). Although we first employed a market-available CNC machine, we have developed, changed, and improved almost everything of it so that it can run and go through multiple processes in a single coding process with higher accuracy and efficiency. As a result, the proposed machine is adjusted to conduct an integrated operation without making any significant changes. Through the calibration process, we have validated that the proposed system is capable of performing high-accuracy processes. The proposed CNC router has a wide range of applications and can conduct a variety of engraving procedures, including plotting. Furthermore, when the machine is running, the project runs thru the checks on the accuracy analysis through several processes to ensure the accurate accuracy of the three available processes (spindle, laser, and plotter).

Abstract

In the last decades, Radio Frequency Identifiers (RFID) has gained massive popularity.In the last decades, Radio Frequency Identifiers (RFID) have gained massive popularity. RFID technology allows data to be encoded in a small form (tag). The data contained inside the RFID tag can be captured wirelessly by the RFID reader through electromagnetic (EM) waves. On the other hand, localization techniques have achieved significant developments in the last decade. There is a wide range of localization tool variations, including satellite-based localization (i.e., GPSS, GLONASS), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), IMU, camera, infrared sensor, and even RF-based localization. In this work, we present an accurate localization technique via battery-less passive RFID tag-UAV integration. We have employed two low-complexity methods: generalized cross-correlation with phase transformation (GCC-PHAT) algorithm and triangulation technique. By simulation, we have validated that an accurate antenna array-based dynamic localization can be realized. For the sake of simplicity, we only demonstrate two-dimensional movement. However, the identical method can also be used in the three-dimensional movement. While this paper considers only two antenna arrays and one RFID tag, the proposed concept can be expanded to a more extensive system with a larger number of antenna arrays and RFID tags.

Abstract

The COVID-19 which started in late 2019 has led to extraordinary measures by government and commerce, to control and reduce the spread of the virus. Many companies have had to rethink the way they work due to travel restrictions and cancellations of major events. While workers related to production activities as well as system-related workers such as bank tellers, cashiers, medical staff, and distribution operators are still working on site, the majority of the workforce in Indonesia has been encouraged to practice "working from home" or remote working during the pandemic. Remote Working means adapting to new circumstances, battling a new set of distractions, as well as experiencing an unprecedented mix of work and personal life. Committing to work from home without understanding performance indicators and drivers can lead to a company's operational failure. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic measures are decreasing, the need to implement a new normal of work that allows for flexible work arrangements and implementation of remote work is increasing. Therefore, the organization needs to understand and control the measures required to keep the company productive in the new work setting. This is important to maintain organizational resilience against any pandemics and technological disruptions, as well as to ensure organizational sustainability. Seven performance indicators of remote work performance and eight influencing factors have been compiled in this study by reviewing previous research on remote work, virtual teamwork, agile teamwork and knowledge management. Further studies are needed to verify the performance indicators and influencing factors, to reveal the correlations between the measures and to identify the most likely drivers of remote work that may transform an organization to its new setting.

Abstract

 The face constitutes a research subject for analyzing human facial expressions, as it can provide insights into an individual's emotions. Facial expressions are identified through changes in key facial features such as the eyes, eyebrows, mouth, and forehead. The field of education has witnessed rapid technological advancements, especially in light of the pandemic. Consequently, the need for the development of technology has become increasingly pressing. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of Lobe software in analyzing human facial expressions. The sample population for this research comprised students from IKIP Muhammadiyah Maumere, Indonesia, with a sample size of 19 selected using a simple random sampling method. The results of the analysis showed that the accuracy of the software was pretty good, with a score of 90% for each category of neutral, sad, happy, and angry faces. The questionnaire data analysis yielded a score of 84%, which is only 6% lower than the score achieved through the students' self-reporting, implying an error rate of less than 10% if validated.

Abstract

3D printing technology has revolutionized the way products are manufactured, and it has opened up new possibilities in the field of smart materials. Smart materials are materials that can change their properties in response to external stimuli, such as temperature, pressure, or light. By combining 3D printing technology with smart materials, highly customizable and responsive products are created. The addition of the time dimension to 3D printing has introduced 4D printing technology, which has gained considerable attention in different fields such as medical, art, and engineering. To bridge the gap in knowledge of 4D, this paper assessed the revolution in healthcare with 3D/4D printing and smart materials. Data was generated as part of a broader empirical study which sought to explore healthcare personnel and electrical engineers’ perception on the practices around the use of 3D/4D printing technology and smart materials. The main method used was structured interviews. 12 participant were purposively selected and interviewed including healthcare personnel and electrical engineers form Philippines and Nigeria. The findings reveal an array of activities undertaken using both 3D and 4D. Furthermore, the study revealed that 4D printing is a new generation of 3D printing. Another aspect of the 3D usage is the integration of electrical stimulation and smart implant as a new area of study in healthcare. 3D could also be used to monitoring the smart implant performance. The study also evaluate the possibility of using Internet of things (IoT) in the smart implant as some device embeds smart materials. Smart implant commonly used includes orthopedic applications, such as knee and hip replacement, spine fusion, and fracture fixation. The smart materials used in this technology are important because 3D printing allows printed structures to be dynamic. The paper highpoints is that 4D printing has great potential for the future.

Abstract

This paper presents an implementation of Least Significant Bit (LSB) steganography to embed a hidden watermark in batik digital images. The goal of the technique is to provide a means of protecting the intellectual property of creators of batik digital arts while still allowing the images to be freely distributed and shared. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of the technique by showing that the embedded watermark is not visible to the human eye and does not significantly alter the quality of the image. The proposed technique uses the LSB method to embed a watermark in the binary data of the batik digital image. This method involves replacing the least significant bit of the image's pixel values with the bits of the watermark, thus altering the binary data of the image without causing noticeable changes in its visual appearance. The embedded watermark can only be detected by a decoding process, making it difficult to be removed or tampered with. The results of the study show that the implemented LSB steganography technique is successful in achieving its objective. The technique is able to effectively embed a hidden watermark in batik digital images without significantly altering the image quality or causing visual artifacts. This work highlights the potential of LSB steganography as a valuable tool for protecting the intellectual property of digital art creators, particularly in the field of batik images. Overall, this study contributes to the growing body of research on steganography and digital media protection. The successful implementation of the LSB steganography technique provides a promising approach for safeguarding the intellectual property of creators in the digital arts industry. Future research may explore other steganography techniques to address potential vulnerabilities and limitations of the LSB method.

Abstract

Although manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly automated, many factories still rely on manual operations. In such facilities, there is a strong need to automatically detect human errors by checking whether specified procedures are being followed. For this purpose, studies have been conducted on utilizing deep neural network (DNN) based three-dimensional (3D) human pose-tracking methods to examine work procedures. However, most of these techniques require a high-end computer equipped with a graphics processing unit (GPU). On the other hand, in this study, we adopt MediaPipe Pose, a lightweight pose estimation network provided by Google, to perform pose tracking on a low-end personal computer (PC) to enable such systems to be deployed in small factories. However, MediaPipe Pose cannot track the location of a human body because it estimates poses in a coordinate system with the waist as the origin (that is, in a root‑relative coordinate system). Therefore, in this study, we developed a method to obtain the absolute coordinates of the root with a simple calculation. The results of an experimental evaluation show that the computational load of the proposed approach is negligible, and the repeatability of the estimation sufficed to evaluate a given operator's work on a predetermined working path. Therefore, the proposed methods enables work procedures to be checked using MediaPipe Pose on a low-end PC.
