4-DOF car motion simulator helps to simulate real-life experiences that drivers do not have the opportunity to access the real environment. The dynamics equation of 4-DOF car motion simulator is a very complex problem with many uncertain parameters, so it requires intelligent control algorithms. Sliding mode controller (SMC) can achieve good tracking performance and robustness…

The human gut environment can contain hundreds to thousands bacterial species which are proven that they are associated with various diseases. Although Machine learning has been supporting and developing metagenomic researches to obtain great achievements in personalized medicine approaches to improve human health, we still face overfitting issues in Bioinformatics tasks related to metagenomic data…

21st century learning focuses on the flow of information, media, and technology. In Malaysia, many university students face problems in English writing. Thus, students should be exposed to the technology training in innovative ways to produce students with a dynamic in this ever-changing world. Recently, the transformation and the evolution of mobile have created a…

In this work, we completed a validation of the Varian Clinac IX equipped with the High Definition Multi-Leaf Collimator (HD 120 MLC) instead of the removable jaws, using GATE Monte Carlo Platform version 8.2. We validated the multileaf collimator (MLC) geometry by simulating two dosimetric functions (Percentage Depth Dose (PDD) and Dose Profile (DP)), for…

With a model predictive control approach and to set the motion trajectory for an autonomous vehicle in situations where emergency braking cannot be performed, in this paper, we propose a solution to apply the law on road traffic into a set of constraints and thereby build an objective function to create motion trajectory for autonomous…

Nowadays, process automation and smart systems have gained increasing importance in a wide variety of sectors, and robotics have a fundamental role in it. Therefore, it has attracted greater research interests; among them, Underactuated Mechanical Systems (UMS) have been the subject of many studies, due to their application capabilities in different disciplines. Nevertheless, control of…

The paper proposes the design and simulation of a 6 Degree of Freedom (DOF) robotic arm, tailored for the coconut crop harvesting, assistive robots like wheelchairs and Home robots, Search and rescue robots for disastrous environments, Collaborative robots for research use. A kinematics-based solution has been developed for the robotic arm which makes it easier…

The Gembong reservoir in Pati Regency, Java, Indonesia is a rain-fed reservoir, which experiences a depletion of it carrying capacity. The characteristic of local rainfall is one of the important factors in assessing the potential of hydrometeorology disasters in its area. Sedimentation in watersheds and reservoirs has covered water sources, so local rainfall determines the…

Visible light communication (VLC) that simultaneously gives illumination and information transmission abilities, is recognized as a hopeful competitor for prospective wireless net- works.
