Many designs for robot arms exist. Here we present an affordable revolute arm, capable of executing simple pick-and-place tasks. The arm employs a double parallelogram structure, which ensures its endpoint angle in the plane of the upper arm remains fixed without the need for additional actuation. Its limbs are fabricated from circular tubes made from…

Designing efficient control strategies for opinion dynamics is a challenging task. Understanding how individuals change their opinions in social networks is essential to countering malicious actors and fake news and mitigating their effect on the network. In many applications such as marketing design, product launches, etc., corporations often post curated news or feeds on social…

The increase electricity production based on renewable energies sources responds to the requirements of sustainable development. In recent years, the investment in the wind energy sector has increased to satisfy green electricity generation and environment protection. Wind energy is currently the most competitive energy resource that is part of the world’s countries views on the…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly popular for both civil and military applications. Unmanned aerial vehicles can be categorized into two categories: rotary-wing and fixed-wing. Due to its capacity to fly long distances and carry substantial payloads, fixed-wing UAVs are gaining popularity and are currently utilized for various tasks. However, when confronted with disturbances…

The human resource development of robotics and automation in the smart factory is an important factor in “Thailand 4.0” roadmap, which is following the industry 4.0 model. To pursue this goal of Thailand 4.0 roadmap of labor development, the effective and intuitive training system must be easy to understand. This study proposes the implementation of…

Early warning systems have had a significant impact on society by providing timely information to mitigate the effects of natural disasters. To enhance early warning capabilities, researchers are exploring the use of digital terrestrial television systems to broadcast alerts across large urban and rural areas. In this research project, the aim is to integrate the…

“Seven ReImagined” is an innovative transmedia storytelling project that reshapes the exploration of the seven deadly sins in a modern context. Building upon the original artwork “Seven”, this venture incorporates traditional media, digital tools, and the latest immersive technologies to cultivate profound user engagement and interaction. The project’s objective is to enhance understanding of timeless…

Recent studies show the benefits of lean manufacturing implementation in agri-food industries to improve operational and environmental performance. However, only a restricted number of studies have addressed the implementation of lean practices in food companies located in developing countries. This study aims to assess the current implementation status of lean practices in Moroccan agri-food companies,…

In this article, we propose a new tutoring strategy to combat school dropout in Morocco. This strategy is based on a collaborative approach involving educational administration and teachers at the national level to ensure equity and equal opportunities for all Moroccan students, on the one hand, and the quality of the training, on the other.…

The attributes of the vehicle routing problem (VRP) are as many additional characteristics or constraints which aim to better take into account the specificities of real application cs. The variants of the VRP thus formed are the support of an extremely rich literature, comprising an immense variety of heuristics. This article constitutes an industrial application…

The levelized cost of electricity production is highly dependent on the cost of fuel oil on the world market. In order to reduce the dependency on the fuel oil, many countries are adopting an energy transition towards distributed generation. Distributed generation can be described as various means of generating electricity at or near where it…

In recent years, the adoption of ICT education has increased in educational settings. Research and development of educational support robots have garnered considerable interest as a promising approach to inspire and engage students. Conventional robots provide learning support through button operations by the learners. However, the frequent need for button operation to request support may…

Soft robots have softer, more flexible, and more compliant characteristics than traditional rigid robots. These qualities encourage more secure relationships between people and machines. Nevertheless, traditional robots continue to rule the commercial sector. Due to the high cost of gripper production, soft robots are very far from being commercially feasible. This research focuses on fabricating…

Narrow-band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) method that was first launched by the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) Rel-13 with the purpose of enabling low-cost, low-power, and wide-area cellular connections for the Internet of Things (IoT). As the demand for over-the-air services grows and with the number of linked wireless…

The exponential growth in the number of automobiles over the past few decades has created a pressing need for a robust license plate identification system that can perform effectively under various conditions. In Morocco, as in other regions, local authorities, public organizations, and private companies require a reliable License Plate Recognition (LPR) system that takes…

The article presents a simulation of obstacle detection based on noise-free optical flow images for motion control of mobile robots. The detection of hazardous areas in optical flow images is accomplished by dividing multiple layers of optical flow vectors into equal parts. Based on the results of calculating the average magnitude of the vectors in…

Like many STEM research projects, the members of the National Science Foundation-funded STEM SEALS project dramatically shifted from in-person delivery of a summer institute to distance-learning with minimal time for preparation. However, the daunting challenge also offered the unique opportunity to apply Design-based Research within an exploratory study to inform and document the progression and…

The quality of the electric power system must be maintained properly, one of which is voltage. Under certain operating conditions, the bus voltage may drop below its minimum level, called bad voltage. A large reactive load can cause a voltage drop across the bus or the location of the bus is far from the generator…

Among the development of technology, a large number of medical devices have been implemented in various forms for therapy and treatment. Remote controllability, real-time response, small size, and non-toxicity of the devices are the critically requirement to be operated in the blind, unstructured and fluidic environments of biomedical regions. Untethered soft swimming milli-robots have been…

Over the past decade, Bitcoin’s unprecedented performance has underscored its po-sition as the premier asset class. Starting from an insignificant value and reaching an astounding high of around 65,000 U.S dollars in 2021 – all without a central con-trolling authority – Bitcoin’s trajectory is undoubtedly a historical feat. Its intangible nature, initially a subject of…
