In this paper, an optimal PID controller is introduced for an antagonistic variable stiffness actuator (AVSA) based on Hammerstein models. A set of Hammerstein models is developed for the AVSA using the voltage difference method. For each stiffness l...
In this paper, we examine a buffer with active management that rejects packets basing on the buffer occupancy. Specifically, we derive several metrics characterizing how effectively the algorithm can prevent the queue of packets from becoming too lon...
In this work, a closed loop control system is developed to optically localize and track micro-robots with high precision. These micro-robots (i.e., micro-conveyors) are in motion simultaneously across a smart surface.The developed method’s prim...
Driven by the Industry 4.0 paradigm and the resulting demand for connectivity in industrial networking, there is a convergence of formerly isolated operational technology and information technology networks. This convergence leads to attack surfaces...
Mid-gesture interfaces have become popular for specific scenarios, such as interactions with augmented reality via head-mounted displays, specific controls over smartphones, or gaming platforms. This article explores the use of a location-aware mid-a...
Physiotherapy is the treatment to recover a patient’s mobility and limb function after an injury, illness, or disability. Rehabilitation robots can be used to replace human physiotherapists. To ensure safety during robot physical therapy, the p...
This paper proposes an ontology for prognostics and health management (PHM) applications involving sensor networks monitoring industrial machinery. Deep learning methods show promise for the development of autonomous PHM systems but require vast quan...
A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) necessitates appropriate routing techniques to enable optimal data transfer. The selection of appropriate routing protocols while utilizing the default settings is required to solve the existing problems. To enable eff...
Blockchainsand smart contracts are pivotal in transforming interactions between systems and individuals, offering secure, immutable, and transparent trust-building mechanisms without central oversight. However, Smart Contracts face limitations due to...
The deployment of isolated microgrids has witnessed exponential growth globally, especially in the light of prevailing challenges faced by many larger power grids. However, these isolated microgrids remain separate entities, thus limiting their poten...
