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…

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a substantial death toll throughout the world. The pandemic has created a threat to public health, the economy, food systems, and the workplace. An increased reprioritization of health expenditure towards COVID-19 vaccines will impact on allocations to other medical facilities. In developing countries, hospitals shortage the infrastructure to facilitate patients.…

Technical safety and health are especially important for mining-extracting industry. Even though the respective lows and good engineering practices exist, technologies develop and could address even better security for humans and equipment. The research question is to survey microclimate sensors in underground mining and to find whether they are ready for automation. The article is…

The design, fabrication and testing of a power availability recorder (PAR) to track the duration of electricity supply in facilities is presented. The design was executed with C-Language encoded in a microcontroller which served as the central processing unit of the device. Proteus software was, subsequently, used to simulate the real-life practicability of the device…

Harassment and violence against women have become one of the social security problems in Bangladesh. In this paper, we aim to develop safety devices for women named BOHNNI and BADHON which resemble legitimate jewelry. We used a microcontroller for the hardware device to make it most decisive and less immoderate. BOHNNI, a locating device, is…

This work presents an innovative solution for parking-sharing of private institutions based on daily occupancy patterns and using different real time tracking methods of vacant parking slots. The research objective consists in finding the most accurate cars detection method, for determining of vacant parking slots and updating them on application web page. Beside the technical…

To cultivate creative talent, ways to learn creative problem-solving skills is needed, and one of them is programming. Arduino is a well-known tool used for programming education and the usefulness has been demonstrated in various case studies. However, there are several problems in existing Arduino-compatible kits as education tools, including the need for understanding hardware…

A remotely mobile phone controlled electronic system for supplying water to garden plantations in a greenhouse or similar environment was designed and experimentally implemented. The system monitors the garden environmental conditions such as soil moisture, temperature, humidity and sunlight and a remote user can send commands from his mobile phone such as to switch ON/OFF…

Communication is a bilateral process and being understood by the person you are talking to is a must. Without the ability to talk nor hear, a person would endure such handicap. Given that hearing and speech are missing, many have ventured to open new communication methods for them through sign language. This bilateral communication device…

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…

Modern microcontrollers are capable to realize not only traditional PID-regulators but also adaptive ones. Object of control parameters estimation is the biggest part of adaptive control from the point of view of time consumption. The ways to reduce this time for digital control systems based on ARM-CORTEX 32-bit and 64-bit processors are shown in the…
