The universally common mode of interaction is the human emotions. Thus, there are several advantages of automated recognition of human facial expressions. The primary objective of the proposed framework in this paper, is to classify a person’s facial expression into anger, contempt, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness and surprise. Firstly, CLAHE is performed on the image…

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) include a large number of sensor nodes that are connected to each other with the limitations in energy sources, battery life, memory, mobility and computational capacity. Since the traditional layered architecture was appropriate only for the wired network. It works within a strict boundary that leads to more energy usage as…

The article touches upon an urgent question of social-interactive learning. The resource under study deals with one of the possible ways to solve this problem, in the context of global socio-cultural transformations and a new paradigm for the development of society. It is the formation of a subject-subject dialogue between a teacher and a student.…

In their verbal interactions, humans are often afforded with language barriers and communication problems and disabilities. This problem is even more serious in the fields of education and health care for children with special needs. The use of robotic agents, notably humanoids integrated within human groups, is a very important option to face these limitations.…

Dengue is a viral infection disease transmitted to people through the bite of specific mosquito species living in a tropical zone. According to the World Health Organization, dengue has been listed among the top-ten diseases for 2019 as it makes 3.9 billion people in 128 countries be at risk of infection. One major cause of…

Restoring, estimating the fully 3D hand skeleton and pose from the image data of the captured sensors/cameras applied in many applications of computer vision and robotics: human-computer interaction; gesture recognition, interactive games, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), sign languages, action recognition, etc. These are applications that flourish in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) technologies. Previous survey…

Knowledge is important now for the development of social society; it is necessary for knowledge management. Knowledge management (KM) aims to support the creation, transfer, and application of knowledge in social societies. This fact illustrates that in the management of social knowledge, the role of social communities is very important and is influenced by factors…

One of the most prevalent physical limitations of both aging and accidents is immobility. Being bedridden requires great care to avoid the formation of pressure ulcers. Thus, the ‘ActiveRest’ project aimed to develop a textile mattress guard that will contribute to the prevention of pressure ulcers. This textile mattress guard integrates a monitoring system, based…

Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) is a student let program designed to support students transitioning into university and tackling traditionally difficult first year core subjects. The model is collaborative with student leaders facilitating activities and discussions driven by student need. Consistently research has found that students can benefit, in terms of increased grades, from attending…

This study involved three departments of teachers and students. The concept of the flow-motivated exercise implemented with a set of flow nozzles. A computer-controlled airflow with specific music introduced, and the motion responses from the participants were analyzed during the initial test and field study. During the initial examination, we adjusted the magnitude and distance…

This work presents the development of an original idea for a walking robot with a minimum number of motors, simple construction and a control system based on the brain bioelectrical activities. Described are geometric and kinematic dependencies related to the robot movement, as well as brain-inspired IoT control method. Various aspects are discussed for improving…

The decision support systems regarding the Supply Chains (SCs) management services can be significantly improved if an effective viable method is utilised. This paper presents a robust simulation optimisation approach (SOA) for the design and analysis of a granularity controlled and complex system known as Consumer Supply Network (CSN) incorporating uncertain demand and capacity. Minimising…

The idea of monitoring several types of parameters in various environments has been motivating significant research works in Internet of Things (IoT). This paper presents the design and construction of iSensA, a system for integrating and collecting information from sensors. The solution implements a multi-sensor monitoring system and then expands the monitoring concept to an…

Network motif analysis has several applications in many different fields such as biological study and social network modeling, yet motif detection tools are still limited by the intensive computation. Currently, there are two categories for network motif detection method: network-centric and motif-centric approach. While most network-centric algorithms excel in enumerating all potential motifs of a…

In this work, we investigate the effects of variation of processing parameters on the quality of dispersion of polycarbonate compound. In order to achieve appropriate pigments dispersion, we performed compounding process parameters optimizations, by investigating three processing parameters, temperature, screw speed, and feed rate. We utilized experimental design for the optimization of process parameters based…

In this work, we discuss how the insertion of a LaSiOx layer in between an in-house IL passivation layer and the high-k has moved the III-V gate stack into the target window for future technology nodes. The insertion of this LaSiOx layer in the gate stack has reduced the Dit and Nbt below the target…

The rapid evolution of Collaborative e-Learning Systems migrates to the use of new technologies such the artificial intelligence (AI). In this context, the role of AI in increasing the quality of learning and making it more productive, persistent and efficient. In addition, it can accomplish repetitive and complex tasks in record time and unmatched accuracy.…

Today, computing devices of various types with wireless interconnections are used for diverse tasks and increasingly in ad hoc manners. It is not always obvious which devices are present, reachable, and connected when users and their devices are mobile. In such mobile computing environment, the number of registered lines on the network via network operators…

This paper presents various concepts related to the application of a microgrid pilot project in a residential condominium at Fortaleza / CE – Brazil, such as battery energy system, renewable and distributed generation, islanding recloser and all different units using interface based on power electronics. This papers main objective is to create information about microgrid…

Quality assurance of modern-day safety-critical systems is continually facing new challenges with the increase in both the level of functionality they provide and their degree of interaction with their environment. We propose a novel selection method for black-box regression testing on the basis of machine learning techniques for increasing testing efficiency. Risk-aware selection decisions are…

Aging is a natural process that progressively introduces limitations in a person’s life, which can have dramatic effects on the person’s lifestyle and wellbeing and in most cases is related to the strength of the person’s social bonds with the family and friends group. Therefore, it is important to maintain these bonds in the various…

When two robot systems can share understanding using any agreed knowledge, within the constraints of the system’s communication protocol, the approach may lead to a common improvement. This has persuaded numerous new research inquiries in human-robot collaboration. We have built up a framework prepared to do independent following and performing table-best protest object manipulation with…
