Attitude Control System for Quadrotor Using Robust Monte Carlo Model Predictive Control

Monte Carlo Model Predictive Control (MCMPC) is a kind of non-linear Model Predictive Control (MPC) that determines control inputs using the Monte Carlo method. The Monte Carlo method used in MCMPC can handle discontinuous phenomena, and there have been reports of its application in control systems for quadrotors, where the objective is to maintain the stability of the attitude during collisions. However, as with conventional MPC, concerns remain about control performance degradation due to modeling errors and external disturbances such as unexpected wind gusts. In this study, we propose a novel Robust Monte Carlo Model Predictive Control (RMCMPC), which improves the robustness of MCMPC by considering the hypersurface known from the Sliding Mode Control (SMC) theory. The proposed RMCMPC is applied to a quadrotor attitude control system, and its effectiveness is validated through numerical simulations.

Artificial Neural Network-Based Data-Driven Parameter Estimation Approach: Applications in PMDC Motors

The optimal performance of direct current (DC) motors is intrinsically linked to their mathematical models’ precision and their controllers’ effectiveness. However, the limited availability of motor characteristic information poses significant challenges to achieving accurate modeling and robust control. This study introduces an approach employing artificial neural networks (ANNs) to estimate critical DC motor parameters by defining practical constraints that simplify the estimation process. A mathematical model was introduced for optimal parameter estimation, and two advanced learning algorithms were proposed to efficiently train the ANN. The performance of the algorithms was thoroughly analyzed using metrics such as the mean squared error, epoch count, and execution time to ensure the reliability of dynamic priority arbitration and data integrity. Dynamic priority arbitration involves automatically assigning tasks in real-time depending on their relevance for smooth operations, whereas data integrity ensures that information remains accurate, consistent, and reliable throughout the entire process. The ANN-based estimator successfully predicts electromechanical and electrical characteristics, such as back-EMF, moment of inertia, viscous friction coefficient, armature inductance, and armature resistance. Compared to conventional methods, which are often resource-intensive and time-consuming, the proposed solution offers superior accuracy, significantly reduced estimation time, and lower computational costs. The simulation results validated the effectiveness of the proposed ANN under diverse real-world operating conditions, making it a powerful tool for enhancing DC motor performance with practical applications in industrial automation and control systems.

Design of a tooth-shaped magnetorheological brake with multiple coils

This research presents an optimized design for a tooth-shaped magnetorheological brake (MRB) with multiple coils. The MRB configuration consists of a disk immersed in magnetorheological fluid (MRF), where four coils act as electromagnets when an electric current is applied. The energized coils induce the alignment of suspended particles in the MRF, forming a chain-like structure that increases the fluid's viscosity. This rapid, strong, and controllable phenomenon enables the MRB to find applications in haptic systems, tension control, and industrial braking systems. To analyze the electromagnetic behavior of the brake, Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations are conducted using ANSYS APDL, and the optimization process is performed utilizing ANSYS Workbench software. The software provides optimized geometries for the brake, resulting in significant improvements in desired performance aspects compared to prior designs, etc.

Improving Performance of Cluster Heads Selection in DEC Protocol Using K-Means Algorithm for WSN.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have found more and more applications in remote control and monitoring systems. Energy management in the network is crucial because all nodes in the WSN are energy constrained. Therefore, the design and implementation of WSN protocols that reduce energy depletion in the network is still an open scientific problem. In this paper, we propose a new clustering protocol that combines DEC (deterministic energy-efficient clustering) protocol with K-means clustering, called DEC-KM (deterministic energy-efficient clustering protocol with K-means). DEC is a very energy-efficient clustering protocol that outperforms its predecessors, such as LEACH and SEP. K-means ensures more effective clustering and shorter data transmission distances within the network. The shorter distances improve the network's lifetime and stability and reduce power consumption. Additional heuristic rules in DEC-KM ensure improved cluster head selection, taking into account node energy level and position and minimising the risk of premature cluster head exhaustion. The simulation results for the DEC-KM protocol using MATLAB show that cluster heads have shorter distances to nodes in cluster areas than for the original DEC protocol. The proposed protocol ensures reduced energy consumption, outperforms the standard DEC, and extends the stability period and lifetime of the network.

Data Integrity Attacks and their Impact on Cyber- Physical Power System Control Applications

Occurrence of Uncultured Legionella spp. in Treated Wastewater Effluent and Its Impact on Human Health (SCA.Re.S Project).

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) provide optimal conditions for the environmental spread of Legionella. As part of the Evaluation of Sanitary Risk Related to the Discharge of Wastewater to the Ground (SCA.Re.S) project, this study was conducted to evaluate the presence of Legionella in WWTP effluent and in groundwater samples collected from two wells located downstream from the plant. The samples were analyzed to determine the concentrations of Legionella spp using the standard culture-based method and molecular techniques, followed by genomic sequencing analysis. Legionella was detected only with the molecular methods (except in one sample of effluent positive for L. pneumophila serogroup 6), which showed viable Legionella pneumophila and L. non-pneumophila through the use of free DNA removal solution in both the effluent and groundwater, with concentrations that progressively decreased downstream from the plant. Viable L. pneumophila appeared to be slightly more concentrated in warm months. However, no significant differences (p ≥ 0.05) in concentrations between cold and warm months were observed. A genotypic analysis characterized the species present in the samples and found that uncultured Legionella spp, as yet undefined, constituted the prevalent species in all the samples (range 77.15-83.17%). WWTPs play an important role in the hygienic and sanitary quality of groundwater for different uses. The application of Legionella control systems during the purification of effluents is warranted to prevent possible outbreaks of legionellosis.

The Role of Management Control System in Mitigating Corruption: The Levers of Control Perspective

A Management Control System (MCS) is a comprehensive mechanism organizations can use to ensure that their strategies and plans are effectively implemented to achieve their objectives. This concept paper explores the application of Management Control Systems (MCS), specifically concerning levers of control (LOC), for behavioral control. Based on the comprehensive literature review, it is expected that LOC will be able to provide a pathway to mitigate corruption not only from the perspective of fraud diamond theory but also from the perspective of agency theory. Agency theory highlights the inherent conflict of interest between agents, who have more information about their actions and intentions, and principals, who rely on agents to act in their best interest. This information asymmetry creates opportunities for agents to engage in corrupt practices, such as embezzlement, bribery, or fraud, including unethical behavior that may undermine organizational goals and trust. Effective control mechanisms are essential to mitigate these risks and ensure alignment between agents' actions and principals' objectives. Furthermore, organizations can apply the principles of fraud diamond theory when creating an effective control framework to deter corruption.

An enhancing flexibility piezoelectric stick-slip actuator by introducing perforation of flexible hinge

Piezoelectric stick-slip actuators (PSSAs) utilize sliding friction between the mover and stator to convert and transmit motion. However, the phenomenon of backward displacement often hinders the output performance of PSSAs. This paper proposes a method to mitigate backward displacement and enhance output performance by modifying the overall flexibility of the actuator. The key idea of this approach is to propose a novel flexible hinge structure and apply it to PSSA. Numerical calculations and finite element analysis confirm that the flexibility and output performance of the PSSA are significantly improved. The method's feasibility is supported by comparing experiments. The experimental results show that under the same locking force, the optimal excitation frequency of perforated Elliptical Flexure Hinge (EFH) is significantly lower than the non-perforated EFH and the speed is increased over 53 %. Furthermore, the PSSA has a maximum load capacity of 190 g, which is 31.7 times its own weight (6 g). The proposed PSSA can provide valuable insights for its application in precision motion control systems in the foreseeable future.

Four benchmark problems are examined to verify the capability of the method. The experimental outputs certify the exactness and usefulness of the new methodology.

Psychometric evaluation of high-resolution electrotactile interface for conveying 3D spatial information

This study presents a detailed psychometric evaluation of a novel high-resolution electrotactile interface, which is developed to provide users with 3D spatial information and facilitate enhanced interaction with a Supernumerary Robotic Limb (SRL). The research introduces a novel electrotactile system that employs a multi-pad electrode configuration on the thigh, aimed at delivering intuitive feedback to users about the position of the SRL in a three-dimensional space. The interface's effectiveness was assessed through a series of psychometric tests, including static spatial discrimination, target-reaching with spatial feedback, frequency discrimination, and combined spatial/frequency modulation. The key findings demonstrate that participants could differentiate between 30 electrode pads with an average success rate of 62.7% when they were activated statically, while in the dynamic target-reaching task, the success rate increased to 88.1%. Frequency discrimination tests further revealed that four frequency levels could be distinguished with 86.0% success rate in single-pad feedback while the performance decreased to 74.3% in multi-pad distributed feedback. Finaly, in the closed-loop test with mixed spatial and frequency modulation, participants achieved an overall success rate of 78.8% in target reaching across 10 × 4 discrete 2D space. These results highlight the interface’s capability to transmit high-resolution spatial information through electrotactile feedback, offering a foundation for future applications in tactile-based navigation and control systems.

Heat and Mass Transfer Study of a High-Pressure Membrane Dehumidifier Under Non-Isothermal and Humid Sweep Psychrometric Conditions

Abstract High-pressure membrane dehumidification is of interest for aircraft environmental control system applications. Typically, membrane dehumidifier modules are characterized by manufacturers over a range of mass flow rates, temperatures, and pressures at saturation conditions. However, to evaluate the suitability of high-pressure membrane dehumidification for aircraft applications, the performance must be characterized over the broader range of psychometric conditions that could be encountered. Moreover, the practical integration of a membrane dehumidifier into an environmental control system necessitates reconsideration of the traditional product sweep approach, where some of the dry air produced is removed and supplied to the other side of the membrane to enhance mass transfer. In an environmental control system, using product sweep would require excessive bleed air from the engine and cause unbalanced flow in the turbomachinery. To avoid this, alternate sources of sweep must be considered and their effects on dehumidification must be evaluated. This work conducts an experimental investigation of a membrane dehumidifier module using product sweep under a range of psychometric conditions, then compares product and humid sweep modes to understand the effects of sweep conditions on dehumidification performance. Concurrently, a numerical model of a membrane dehumidifier is implemented and validated - first against the module specification sheet, then against the empirical results that represent moderate altitude aircraft conditions. Ultimately, the feasibility of a hot and humid sweep source to maintain sufficient dehumidification performance under realistic altitude conditions is demonstrated.

Field Evaluation and Application of Intelligent Quality Control Systems

During road construction, the accuracy of compaction work is critical for the structural stability and maintenance of the road. Although the plate load test (PLT) is commonly used for quality inspections, it is impractical to test every section due to time and cost constraints. Therefore, simpler testing methods are being extensively developed. This study compared quality inspection results using the commonly used PLT, the relatively simple dynamic cone penetrometer test (DCPT), the lightweight deflectometer (LWD) test, and an intelligent quality control system equipped with accelerometer and global positioning system (GPS) sensors in intelligent compaction (IC) rollers. The results showed a strong correlation between the conventional tests (PLT, DCPT, and LWD) and the values obtained from the intelligent quality control system. The correlation analysis between the intelligent quality control system and PLT, LWDT, and DCPT yielded R-square values of 0.69, 0.91, and 0.95, respectively, indicating significantly high correlations. The implementation of intelligent quality management systems in earthwork construction projects will facilitate a thorough verification of the compaction quality throughout all construction segments, ensuring consistent compaction across the project. By enabling real-time data acquisition and analysis, these systems differ markedly from traditional methods, reducing the frequency and necessity of manual inspections. This approach not only streamlines construction processes, but also enhances operational efficiency. As a result, integrating these intelligent systems is anticipated to significantly increase productivity by optimizing the workflow and resource utilization in earthwork construction.
