General relativity and its modified theories are unable to account for quantum mechanics and cannot explain dark matter or the origin of the gravitation. This paper presents a theory that describes how Newtonian gravitation originates at the level of the particle, and how particles induce gravitation and respond to the source of gravitation. This paper…

This paper details an extension to the SLIP model named spring-loaded inverted pendulum model with swing legs (SLIP-SL). SLIP-SL extends the SLIP model by introducing swing leg dynamics while keeping its passive nature. This way, reference trajectories for the center of mass and swing foot trajectories can be simultaneously obtained which was not possible with…

A methodology of medical signal-based biometrics has been proposed in this paper for implementing a human identification system controlled by electroencephalogram in respect of different color stimuli. The advantage of biosignal based biometrics is that they provide more efficient operation in simple experimental condition to ensure accurate identification. Red, Green, Blue (primary colors) and Yellow…

In recent years, the applications in the field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems has procured research interests among various communities.

A Decision-Making Centers (DMCs) Environment facilitates stakeholders’ decision-making processes using predictive models and diverse what-if scenarios. An essential element of this environment is the management of Decision Support Components (e.g., models or systems) that need to be created with mature methodologies and good delivery time. However, there has been a gap in the understanding of…

This paper presents a design of parallel gripper finger for robotic dual-arm working with an automatic push-down bottle crown cork cap opener on ABB’s Yumi collaborative bartender robot. A safe gripper finger is made from ABS plastic by 3D printing for human-based interaction design for grasping and holding a glass bottle. Rack design and proposed…

More than one year after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic the behavior of figures published by official sources of the countries are skeptical for the public. Many probability tests are used to detect the reliability of information among which Benford’s Law. This study focused on the Western Balkan countries, as one of the foremost…

This article extends novelty of modeling capacitive accelerometer with PID controller to provide PI controller for better tuning and statistical test to determine the linear validation characteristics of closed capacitive accelerometer. Capacitive accelerometer is a sensor which uses the dynamic law of physics model Position-Velocity-Accelerator (PVA) by the movement of an electrode coupled to mass…

Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) decentralisation brings about reductions in the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) earmarked for landfilling worse still under situations where MSW is being sent to dumpsites. It also reduces the distances MSW collection vehicles travel during MSW collection, maintenance and transport costs due to the establishment of local level decentralised…

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is composed of items that are discarded or disposed of daily including paper, plastics, glass, metals, used gadgets, paint and old furniture. The plastic waste stream has proven to be problematic to manage sustainably on a global scale. Various researchers are trying to come up with innovative ways of alleviating the…

The Micro-facial expression is the most effective way to display human emotional state. But it needs an expert coder to be decoded. Recently, new computer vision technologies have emerged to automatically extract facial expressions from human faces. In this study, a video-based emotion analysis system is implemented to detect human faces and recognize their emotions…

A new approach for designing RF energy harvester with a single stage converter circuit is presented in this paper. The proposed converter configuration is integrated with an antenna that is based on the coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line with improved gain resonated at 2.45 frequency ISM band. The CPW patch antenna as a harvester antenna…

In recent days, the fast growth of populations leading to an increase in medically complicated cases, especially fast spread viral cases around the world. These phenomena increased demand on auto-diagnose systems to speed up the diagnosis process and reduce human contacts, especially for the COVID-19 pandemic using deep learning (DL). DL methods can successfully carry…

Face Recognition (FR) is considered as a heavily studied topic in computer vision field. The capability to automatically identify and authenticate human’s faces using real-time images is an important aspect in surveillance, security, and other related domains. There are separate applications that help in identifying individuals at specific locations which help in detecting intruders. The…

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have been applied not only to numerical simulations of the economical sequences but also to the bio-signal, for instance, the statokinesigrams (SKGs). According to the nonlinear analysis of the bio-signal, we have considered that the motion process of the body sway is more random than that of the other bio-signal. In…

This paper presents a new observer-based method which deals with the extraction of amplitude of characteristic frequencies for the fault diagnosis in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM). First, a pilot survey is made to investigate the typical harmonics in the line currents of PMSM. Second, an appropriate structure of observer is formulated with the input…

Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps are used as a replacement of “old-fashioned” or incandescent lighting sources, as they reduce the amount of energy consumed. As a side-effect of more efficient energy usage they produce electrical noise. This noise reduces the efficiency of information signal transfer when Power Line Communications (PLC) are used. This study focuses…
