Mobility impairment poses one of the most significant challenges for differently abled individuals, directly impacting their independence, confidence, and quality of life. Traditional wheelchairs—whether manual or joystick-operated—often fail to meet the diverse needs of users with severe physical limitations such as paralysis, neuromuscular disorders, or limb amputations. This paper presents a Smart Voice and Gesture Controlled ML-Driven Wheelchair Assistance system that empowers users to navigate hands-free through voice commands and hand gestures, leveraging Machine Learning (ML) for accurate, real-time motion responses. The hardware framework integrates a Raspberry Pi 4 (main controller), ESP32 microcontroller, MPU6050 accelerometer/gyroscope for gesture detection, HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection, and L293D motor driver. On the software side, RNN/LSTM-based models process speech features (MFCCs) while CNN/MediaPipe models recognize hand gestures. A Command Fusion Engine arbitrates between modalities, enforces a safety layer, and executes motor commands. Experimental evaluations project ≥85% command recognition accuracy with sub-200ms response latency, offering a costeffective, offline-capable, and inclusive assistive mobility solution.

Agricultural intelligence is an important trend in the development of modern agriculture. However, agricultural UGVs that rely on manual intervention or fixed path planning suffer from low operational efficiency and poor adaptability. To address these issues, an obstacle-avoidance UGV based on an STM32 microcontroller is designed in this study. The UGV uses a motor driver chip for motion control, Bluetooth for signal transmission, and an integrated image transmission module, which effectively improves obstacle recognition and rapid obstacle avoidance compared with conventional agricultural UGVs. Experimental results show that the steering angle control accuracy of the vehicle ranges from 90.0% to 98.9%, while the obstacle detection accuracy ranges from 92.5% to 98.3%. The UGV is able to stably complete obstacle-avoidance tasks under field conditions

Abstract- The Research Paper “Design and implementation of smart web-QR controlled vending system” focuses on developing an intelligent and contactless vending system that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology with web-based QR functionality. Traditional vending machines rely on manual operation and cash-based payments, making them less efficient, unhygienic, and difficult to monitor remotely. The proposed system overcomes these limitations by using a Raspberry Pi 3B+ microprocessor as the central controller, connected to a Firebase real-time cloud database for monitoring inventory and transactions. Users can scan a QR code displayed on the vending machine to access a web interface built using React JS, which enables them to select products, view prices, and confirm purchases without physical contact. The Raspberry Pi processes the request and activates the corresponding motor driver to dispense the selected item, while sensors verify successful delivery and update the database automatically. This system provides touchless operation, real-time control, and efficient management of inventory. It also demonstrates scalability for integration with digital payment gateways and AI- based stock prediction. By combining IoT, cloud computing, and web technologies, the Research Paper aims to enhance user convenience, hygiene, and automation in next-generation vending solutions. Keywords— Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Vending System, QR Code Technology, Raspberry Pi, Contactless Operation, Real-time cloud database, Firebase, React JS, automated inventory management.

Power quality is a critical factor in maintaining the reliability and efficiency of modern power systems, particularly in distribution networks that extensively utilize power electronic equipment. One of the primary sources of harmonic distortion is the use of Variable Speed Drives (VSDs), which operate as non-linear loads and cause current and voltage waveforms to deviate from their ideal sinusoidal shape. This study aims to analyze the harmonic characteristics generated by VSDs in the distribution system of PT. PLN ULP Tomohon, determine the levels of Total Harmonic Distortion of current (THD-I) and voltage (THD-V), and evaluate the effectiveness of harmonic mitigation using a passive single-tuned harmonic filter. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach through modeling and simulation of the power system using the Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) software. Technical system data, including transformer capacity, distribution network configuration, and load parameters, are modeled in the form of a Single Line Diagram (SLD) and analyzed using the Harmonic Load Flow module. The simulation results indicate that VSD operation produces dominant harmonics at the 5th and 7th orders, which significantly increase the THD levels within the system. The implementation of a passive single-tuned harmonic filter is shown to effectively reduce harmonic distortion, allowing the THD-I and THD-V values to approach or comply with the limits specified in the IEEE 519-2014 standard. Therefore, the application of appropriate harmonic mitigation methods can improve power quality, enhance energy efficiency, and increase the reliability of electrical power systems in distribution networks.

Abstract -Railway transportation is a backbone of modern infrastructure, but safety remains a major challenge due to undetected track faults such as cracks, misalignment, and obstacles. Traditional manual inspection methods are inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to human error. This paper presents the design and implementation of a Smart Railway Track Monitoring and Fault Detection System that enables real-time fault detection and alerting. The system uses ultrasonic sensors to continuously monitor track conditions by measuring distance variations. An ATmega8 microcontroller processes the sensor data and detects faults based on predefined threshold values. When a fault is identified, a GSM SIM900A module sends an instant SMS alert to maintenance personnel. A 16×2 LCD display shows system status, while an L293D motor driver with a BO motor simulates train movement and demonstrates real-time response. The system achieves approximately 95% accuracy with a 2–5 second alert delay, ensuring fast and reliable fault detection. This solution is cost-effective, energy- efficient, and suitable for improving railway safety by replacing manual inspection with automated monitoring.

Abstract— Road damage and potholes are one of the major causes of vehicle accidents and traffic disruptions. Traditional pothole detection methods rely on manual inspection, which is inefficient and time-consuming. This project proposes a Smart Pothole Detection and Alert System using ESP32 that utilizes computer vision and sensor-based detection to identify potholes and automatically control vehicle speed. In the proposed system, a web camera connected to a laptop captures road images periodically. The captured images are compared with a predefined reference image using Python-based image processing techniques. If the similarity between images falls below a threshold, the system identifies the presence of a pothole or road anomaly. The detection result is then transmitted to an ESP32 microcontroller through wireless communication. Once the ESP32 receives the signal, it activates the ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04) to measure the depth of the pothole. Based on the measured depth, the motor speed is automatically reduced using the L293D motor driver controlling BO motors. This helps simulate a smart vehicle system that slows down when a pothole is detected. The proposed system demonstrates how computer vision, IoT, and embedded systems can be integrated to create an intelligent road safety solution.
