A fuzzy system is a rule-based system that uses human experts’ knowledge to make a particular decision, while fuzzy modeling refers to the identification process of the fuzzy parameters. To generate the fuzzy parameters automatically, an optimization method is needed. One of the suitable methods provides the Firefly Algorithm (FA). FA is a nature-inspired algorithm…

It is widely known that students’ exposure to poor postures due to inappropriate classroom furniture design may contribute to the increase of the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders symptoms that if not identified on time could lead to severe health issues. In this context, due to the unavailability of scientific studies related to this topic in…

The technical and vocational institutions are the key feeders for skilled human capital in the robotic revolution economy. It is essential to engage the students by creating new, affordable robotics at a fraction of the cost. This study presents the design and simulation of a six-axis robot manipulator specifically made for education and training. The…

The technological advance as well as needs of human beings made that systems became more and more complex. In contrast, the use and creation of new modelling languages became simple and no more reserved for a handful of language experts. Consequently, many new practices of systems implementation emerged, among them, the use of different domain…

Electrical energy shortage and expensive basic electricity costs are one of the problems that are occurred in Karimunjawa Island, Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to identify the potential of ocean currents energy as one of the alternatives to reduce the problem related to energy needs and to predict the electrical energy that can…

Fatigue is broadly divided into two types depending on the content of a task: physical fatigue and mental fatigue. Mental fatigue is associated with human error. It is thus important to search for indicators that can easily evaluate mental fatigue. The aim of this study is to construct a system that can evaluate mental fatigue…

Problem statement: In general, the water hyacinth is a biennial aquatic plant for many seasons with propagated quickly to become serious weeds in general water sources. The water hyacinth is caused carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a greenhouse effect, which leads to climate change, the environmental concerns of the world today. The agricultural residue…

Person recognition using thermal imaging, multi-biometric traits, with groups of feature filters and classifiers, is the subject of this paper. These were used to tackle the problems of biometric systems, such as a change in illumination and spoof attacks. Using a combination of, hard and soft-biometric, attributes in thermal facial images. The hard-biometric trait, of…

Source parameters of tsunami waves are an essential part of any modern tsunami warning system. Recalculation of a measured time series (wave profile obtained by a seabed-based pressure sensor) in terms of initial sea surface displacement at tsunami source is among the most (or) one of the promising approaches to be applied in a warning…

Transportation vendors are important for distribution companies to deliver goods or products. Operational problems of logistic process in transportation vendors’ activities are difficult to track and monitor directly in the field, such as driver’s position, the delivery, and so forth. These problems result in the difficulty to measure the performance of vendors’ activities. The aim…

In an enterprise Wifi network, indoor and dense, co-channel interference is a major issue. Wifi controllers help tackle this problem thanks to radio resource management (RRM). RRM is a fundamental building block of any controller functional architecture. One aim of RRM is to process the radio plan such as to maximize the overall network transmit…
