Abstract

Bicopter is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with the advantage of saving energy consumption. However, the unique two rotors design presents a challenge in designing a controller that achieves good stability, fast settling time, and the ability to overcome oscillations simultaneously. This article proposes a new control method for bicopter that uses a genetic algorithm optimization approach in the linear quadratic (LQ-GA) control method. The GA is used to search for the best weighting matrix parameters, Q and R, in the Linear Quadratic (LQ) control scheme. The proposed control method was tested on a balancing bicopter test platform with an input in the form of difference in pulse width modulation (PWM) signals for both rotors and an output in the form of roll angle. The control system was evaluated based on the stability of the transient response and the generated control signal. The results of the tests showed that the proposed LQ-GA control method has better stability, faster settling time, and smaller overshoot than the existing PI and standard LQ control methods. Therefore, the proposed LQ-GA control method is the most suitable for use in a balancing bicopter system with a non-zero setpoint.

Abstract

This study provides a worthwhile method for increasing the magnetic field energy and induction machine (IM) effectiveness. The coupling between the transmitter and receiver windings in the IM system can be improved by creating materials with specific electromagnetic properties. This added material has altered the magnetic flow as well as the energy of the magnetic field. Eventually, it is possible to calculate the efficiency of the magnetic field, or the ratio of primary to secondary magnetic energy. With the use of two-dimensional finite element analysis, numerical results on five cases with various configurations of a magnetic substance have been produced. This material, which varies in length or breadth, is positioned close to the windings of the transmitter, receiver, or both. Case 3, in which the transmitter generates a magnetic field on the receiver side with a minimum energy of 0.05 J and a maximum energy of 0.015 J, is the ideal material configuration for DC current. Currently, the system efficiency is 0.29 on average. A 1 kHz transmitter's energy is constant under all conditions, but its counterpart's energy fluctuates significantly, with case 5 receiving the most energy. Therefore, case 5 turns into the optimal structural arrangement. It can be inferred that case 5 similarly dominates the other with an efficiency of 0.0026, which is much greater than that of 1 kHz efficiency, while the windings are operating at 1 MHz. This leads to stronger magnetic field coupling and increased power transfer effectiveness.

Abstract

Human activity recognition (HAR) is an increasingly active study field within the computer vision community. In HAR, driver behavior can be detected to ensure safe travel. Detect driver behaviors using a capsule network with leave-one-subject-out validation. The study was done using CapsNet with leave-one-subject-out validation to identify driving habits. The proposed method in this study consists of two parts, namely encoder and decoder. The encoder used in this study modifies Sabour’s capsule network architecture by adding a convolution layer before going to the primary capsule layer. The proposed method is evaluated using a primary dataset with 10 classes and 300 images for each class. The dataset is split based on hold-out validation and leave-one-subject-out validation. The resulting models were then compared to conventional CNN architecture. The objective of the research is to identify driving behavior. In this study, the proposed method results an accuracy rate of 97.83 % in the split dataset using hold-out validation. However, the accuracy decreased by 53.11 % when the proposed method was used on a split dataset using leave-one-subject-out validation. This is because the proposed method extracts all features including the attributes of each participant contained in the input image (user-independent). Thus, the resulting model in this study tends to overfit.

Abstract

Several technologies are currently being applied in the maritime industry to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. An example is the implementation of an electric propulsion system with a battery charged using a renewable energy source. Meanwhile, it is important to analyze the energy demand and the quantity of emissions reduced in a vessel after installing this system. Therefore, this study focused on analyzing the energy demand and emissions produced on fishing boats, specifically the “Sandeq” fishing boats in West Sulawesi. The primary objective was to quantify the carbon dioxide emissions reduced after the conventional engine of the vessel was replaced with an electric propulsion system. Moreover, the energy demand of the boat was estimated by analyzing the daily speed, length of voyage, and engine capacity. The results showed that six batteries were required to provide the power needed for daily operation. Furthermore, the electric propulsion system was able to reduce CO2 emission by 7.94 tons annually per ship, leading to the reduction of fuel consumption and emission taxes to approximately 10 million Rupiah annually. These results were expected to encourage stakeholders to promote the transition from conventional diesel engines to electric-powered engines.
