Abstract

Urban communities in Surakarta City tend to have high mobility which has an impact on rapid growth.  They need a safe, comfort and efficient transportation system. Surakarta City Transportation Agency presents Batik Solo Trans (BST) to answer these needs. However, the presence of BST is not balanced with user comfort at the BST permanent shelter. The incompatibility of shelter facilities with established standards causes users especially the disabled can’t access independently. This research aims to analyze user assessments and needs using Kansei Engineering and Administrative Law methods to determine the components to create a user-friendly BST permanent shelter. Purposive sampling was used to obtain data from 130 respondents based on interviews, questionnaires and observations. The results showed that comfort and equality are mandatory standards for creating a user-friendly BST permanent shelter. There are 5 aspects that have a significant influence on these standards. Those aspects are clean shelter, clear shelter, strategic location, appropriate shelter width and appropriate of shelter’s access height.

Abstract

Indonesian people love to consume bananas as fruit. Many sources of nutrients, including minerals and carbohydrates, are contained in this fruit. Various UMKM (Usaha Mikro, Kecil dan Menengah) have grown by developing processed banana foods such as sale and banana chips. An important step in making processed banana dishes is cutting the bananas. In general UMKM still process bananas using conventional techniques, namely cutting using manual human power. The purpose of this study is to utilize gravity to design a banana cutting machine. Gravity will cause the banana pieces to fall into the storage container. The dimensions of the cutting machine are designed with a small size to facilitate mobility. The results showed that the use of a cutting machine increased the efficiency of banana cutting. A more uniform cutting thickness was achieved.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of tail configuration variations on flight stability and battery energy efficiency in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Three distinct tail types were tested: the conventional tail, the T-Tail, and the V-Tail. The objective was to compare how these tail designs affected the overall performance of UAVs, especially focusing on the balance between stability and energy efficiency. The experiments were conducted through a series of flight tests in a controlled outdoor environment, providing reliable and accurate data. During these flight tests, several performance metrics were recorded, including IMU-based angular deviations for pitch, roll, and yaw, energy consumption, flight time, voltage, and battery power. The data collected allowed for a thorough analysis of how the tail design influenced the flight characteristics of the UAVs. The results showed that the T-Tail configuration provided the highest flight stability, as indicated by the smallest angular deviations and minimal vibration during flight. This design’s enhanced stability made it the most reliable, especially for missions requiring precision control. In contrast, the V-Tail configuration proved to be the most energy-efficient, consuming only 22.80 Wh. Despite its low energy consumption, the V-Tail showed the lowest stability due to control coupling between the pitch and yaw axes, resulting in higher angular deviations and less precise control. The conventional tail, while not the best in terms of either stability or energy efficiency, struck a reasonable balance between the two. This configuration provided adequate stability while ensuring efficient battery usage, making it a suitable choice for general UAV applications. The findings of this study highlight the direct influence of tail design on UAV performance. There is a clear trade-off between flight stability and energy efficiency, with the conventional tail offering the best compromise.

Abstract

Plastic waste is currently still a serious problem for society due to the lack of sensitivity to environmental problems and the impact of careless disposal of plastic waste in many places. The injection molding process on industry scale often faces obstacles such as machines that have not worked efficiently, injection capacity that is unable to fill the mold completely, and the emergence of product defects due to plastic flow that begins to freeze before the entire cavity is completely filled. This study aims to design and simulate a prototype injection molding machine with a capacity of 4 tensile test specimens (total volume 28.5 cm³) in order to overcome these problems and to adjust the practicum needs of mechanical engineering students. The design process is carried out with SolidWorks software for 3D design, as well as flow simulation using SolidWorks Plastics and Flow Simulation with recycled Polypropylene (PP) material at melting temperature ± 230 ° C and injection pressure ± 5.3 MPa. The design results in a machine with dimensions of 1273 × 400 × 826 mm equipped with main components in the form of a frame, electric motor and gearbox, hopper, body safety, wheels, piston cylinder, control panel, heater, screw with barrel, and mold. SolidWorks Plastics simulation shows that the plastic flow fills the mold evenly with a filling time of 10.93 seconds, cycle time of 83.94 seconds, and maximum pressure of 5.38 MPa in the gate area, while Flow Simulation simulation shows a spiral flow pattern from the hopper to the end of the mold without backflow, with a mass flow rate of 0.0227 kg/sec and an average pressure of 97.765 Pa. These results prove that the design and simulation can improve process efficiency and mold quality

Abstract

Conventional robotic surgical systems, while offering enhanced dexterity and 3D visualization, suffer from a critical limitation: the absence of tactile sensation. This sensory disconnect can lead to inadvertent tissue damage from excessive force application and complicates delicate maneuvers that rely on the surgeon's sense of touch. This research proposes and validates a novel surgical robotic system architecture designed to bridge this sensory gap by integrating high-fidelity 3D visual input with accurate, real-time force feedback from tactile sensors mounted on the end-effector. To rigorously evaluate this innovation, a structured comparative methodology was employed. A cohort of surgeons performed standardized surgical tasks, including suturing and tissue manipulation, on realistic soft-tissue phantoms. The performance of a conventional (visual-only) system was benchmarked against that of the proposed (visual-haptic) system. A comprehensive dataset was collected, which included objective metrics such as task completion time, precision deviation from the ideal tool path, and the magnitude of applied forces. Concurrently, subjective evaluations from the participating surgeons were gathered to assess perceived control, cognitive workload, and overall task confidence. The test data revealed statistically significant improvements when using the visual-haptic system. Participants not only completed tasks with greater speed and accuracy but also applied considerably lower and more consistent forces. The analysis underscores that haptic feedback, enabled by advanced sensor fusion, not only restores a crucial 'sense of touch' to the surgeon but also reduces the incidence of excessive force application, potentially minimizing tissue trauma and improving patient recovery. These findings confirm the hypothesis that haptic-visual integration constitutes a new paradigm in robotic surgery, shifting the paradigm from purely visual guidance to a more intuitive, multi-sensory surgical experience. This study also discusses future challenges and opportunities, including the potential for AI-driven partial autonomy, such as creating virtual safety boundaries or automating sub-tasks, and the development of next-generation sensor technologies to further enhance clinical outcomes.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has increasingly shaped the digital transformation of higher education, particularly through its integration with Learning Management Systems (LMS). Features such as intelligent tutoring, predictive analytics, plagiarism detection, and automated grading are reshaping teaching and learning. However, questions remain regarding the readiness of higher education institutions and the acceptance among lecturers and students. This paper presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of studies published between 2020 and 2025, focusing on readiness and acceptance of AI in LMS. Guided by the PRISMA framework, 220 records were identified, 85 screened, 40 assessed for eligibility, and 20 included in the final analysis. Findings highlight that readiness is largely influenced by infrastructure, digital literacy, and institutional policy, while acceptance is shaped by perceived usefulness, ease of use, trust, and behavioural intention. Although challenges such as ethics, cost, and privacy concerns persist, opportunities exist in the form of personalized learning and intelligent decision-making. The review concludes that while AI adoption in LMS is progressing globally, developing contexts such as Malaysian polytechnics require further research and targeted interventions to enhance both readiness and acceptance.

This study focuses on BRT Trans Jateng Corridor 7, which has received a considerable number of complaints regarding service reliability, comfort, and punctuality. The main objective of this research is to improve passenger satisfaction by applying the Six Sigma methodology to identify, analyze, and reduce the root causes of service-related complaints. Using the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) framework, data were collected through complaint reports, passenger surveys, and operational performance indicators. Statistical analysis and cause-effect diagrams were employed to pinpoint critical factors influencing complaints, including bus frequency, driver performance, ticketing efficiency, and infrastructure support. The findings indicate that the application of Six Sigma significantly reduced recurring complaints, particularly in the areas of schedule adherence and service responsiveness, leading to measurable improvements in overall passenger satisfaction. The synthesis of results demonstrates that structured quality management approaches such as Six Sigma can effectively enhance public transportation service quality by providing systematic solutions to operational problems. In conclusion, this research highlights the practical benefits of Six Sigma in improving service performance and reducing passenger complaints, offering valuable insights for policymakers and transportation operators seeking to strengthen the quality and sustainability of public transit systems.
