Design and Implementation of an Automated Robotic Bartender Using VDI 2206 Methodology

Today, robotics has made remarkable advances in a number of industries, including the food and beverage sector. One area of particular interest is the development of an automated bartender capable of efficiently preparing cocktails and drinks. In this context, a state-of-the-art robotic bartender has been designed and implemented following the VDI 2206 methodology, developed by the Association of German Engineers (VDI). This methodology has allowed a more precise definition of the product and accurate estimations in all phases of the mechanical, electrical, and electronic design, and for the mechanical design of the robotic bartender, it prioritizes a solid and safe structure to support the weight of the bottles and components while focusing on an attractive design to improve the user experience. The system features precise sensors to detect and measure ingredients and intelligent control algorithms to ensure accurate dosing. The user interface is intuitive, allowing for uncomplicated cocktail selection and drink customization, and Proteus software was used for the electrical and electronic design, which facilitated extensive simulation and debugging. The system incorporates a PIC16F877A microcontroller to manage and coordinate various functions such as sensors, actuators, and communications. Finally, the pilot implementation has demonstrated the system's effectiveness in preparing a wide variety of cocktails with reduced preparation time. The robotic bartender can produce 10–12 cocktails every 10 minutes, which improves the productivity of the establishments and benefits both bartenders and customers.

Засіб захисту аналогового телефонного зв’язку на основі скремблера зі зміною коефіцієнтів вейвлет-перетворення

The paper proposes a device for providing protection of speech information transmitted over an analog telephone line against unauthorized interception based on a scrambler with modified Latin square wavelet transform coefficients. The developed device consists of hardware and software parts, the hardware part is implemented on the microcontroller platform of the Arduino family, the software part of the device is implemented using the Proteus software environment. As the main part of the functions of the device is performed by a microcontroller, the general structure of the device comprises a microphone, a power supply and an Arduino board. Taking into account the results of the research, it is proposed to modernize the scrambling algorithm by performing permutation operations, matching XOR to the scrambler key, which displays the Latin square itself. A statistical and spectral analysis of the improved method was carried out and a comparison of the execution speed of scrambling algorithms was performed. To improve the security, it was proposed to carry out several stages of permutations of the received coefficients of wavelet transformations. Increasing the variability of the permutations of the wavelet transformation coefficients made it possible to increase the time spent by the attacker on going through all possible combinations. And taking into account that the permutation does not take place in one part of the signal, but in a set of n parts, this in its turn further complicates the procedure of sorting through all possible options. The implementation of the elements of this device with the help of electronic computing equipment and available components makes it an accessible, as well as an effective tool for solving technical information protection tasks, which can ensure the improvement of information protection systems at various business entities.

Development of simulation model of smart phase selector device

In the quest for efficient and reliable power distribution systems, voltage asymmetry has emerged as a significant challenge. Voltage imbalances across different phases can lead to increased energy losses, compromised power quality, and reduced equipment lifespan. To address these issues, smart phase selector devices have gained attention as advanced electronic solutions for monitoring and managing voltage imbalances in low-voltage networks. This paper presents the development of a simulation model of a smart phase selector device using the Proteus software platform. Proteus offers a versatile environment for simulating electronic circuits and systems, making it an ideal choice for developing and evaluating the performance of the smart phase selector device. The primary objective of this research is to create a comprehensive simulation model that accurately represents the behavior and functionality of the smart phase selector device. Through a thorough literature review, the key principles and concepts underlying smart phase selector devices, voltage asymmetry, and related simulation techniques are explored. The developed simulation model incorporates the necessary circuit components, algorithms, and control mechanisms to faithfully simulate the operation of the smart phase selector device.

Design and Implementation of Buck Converter for Electric Vehicle’s Appliances

Buck converter is a unidirectional DC-DC power converter that primarily steps down potential difference (PD) of the power bank of batteries or supercapacitors. Electric vehicles usually operate on higher voltage ranging from 45 to 72 volts. However, the electrical accessories of automobiles such as horns, trafficators, radio/players and brake or parking lights were designed to operate on 12 V DC voltage. This necessitates the use of buck converter for stepping down the voltage values to 12 volts. Nonetheless, replacing the converter when the need arises is indeed financially challenging, thus, in such a situation, the vehicles are mostly operated during the day time. Herein, we designed a buck converter using Proteus software and then constructed it with the aim of stepping down the voltage values to 12 volts at a reduced price. The design materials and the construction components used are readily available in most of the electronics shops. An outstanding performance was achieved and results indicated that the designed converter is suitable for use in electric vehicles.

A new approach of variable step-size maximum power point tracking algorithm used in photovoltaic systems

To exploit the maximum power generated by the photovoltaic (PV) panel, it is necessary to use the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. The main concern of MPPT algorithms is how to reach the maximum power point (MPP) quickly with less oscillation. To achieve this objective, this paper studies and compares the performance of different MPPT algorithms with a new proposed criterion of variable step size in terms of convergence speed towards the MPP and reduced oscillations around it. The proposed method utilizes a simple way to build multi-operating zones. In each field, the step size depends on the closeness to the MPP. The simulation results are obtained under Proteus and Arduino software; we use physical security information management (PSIM) software for the modeling of the PV panel and MATLAB software to display the comparative results between the different algorithms.

Implementation and Design of FREEDM System Differential Protection Method Based on Internet of Things

This paper introduces an enhancement of the protection and operation of the Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) system. It uses the solid-state transformers to connect the residential A.C. and D.C. microgrids to the distribution system and fault isolation devices for faulty line isolation. In this paper, a current differential protection scheme has been proposed to detect faults in the FREEDM-based microgrid network. This method is based on the current measurement at the two-line terminals using phasor measurement units to ensure data synchronization and minimize the measuring error. Also, a communication scheme that is based on the Internet of things technology and Wi-Fi is constructed for data monitoring and interlinking between the relays, transducers, and the fault isolation devices in the two-terminals lines. A hypothetical FREEDM system has been used for the verification and testing of the proposed method. Different fault types at different locations and fault resistances have been applied to prove the effectiveness of the proposed protection method in detecting the fault condition. The performance of the proposed method is investigated using the security, dependability, and accuracy indices. A prototype of the FREEDM system is designed, implemented, and tested using the Proteus software simulator and in the laboratory. The results prove the efficiency of the proposed protection method in detecting and isolating the fault conditions in a fast, reliable, and accurate manner. Moreover, the protection scheme achieved high accuracy for all faults, equal to 98.825%.

SMART MULTIPARAMETER INFANT APNOEA MONITOR

Apnoea is a common disorder in preterm infants who may also suffer from neonatal hypertension. Conventional apnoea monitors used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) do not include features for measuring neonatal blood pressure and real-time remote monitoring. Smart devices to monitor this problem in resource-poor environments are expensive and sparsely available. This paper presents the development of a smart multiparameter infant apnoea monitor in a resource-poor setting. The circuit was designed and simulated in Proteus software. The signals were processed using Arduino mega microcontrollers. The microcontroller concurrently communicates apnoea events to the GSM modem and alarm which notify the doctor and caregivers by SMS alert and audible alarm, respectively. Preliminary testing on stable infants at the NICU of Lagos University Teaching Hospital showed promising results. The device can effectively be used to monitor apnoea in infants as well as transmit the results to the doctor in a remote location by SMS. It can also be used to monitor other parameters like oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, heart rate and blood pressure. The documented experiences will provide useful insights for smart infant apnoea monitor development in resource-poor environments.

Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) Utilizing Flyback Converter Topology: Simulation and Experiment

This paper presents simulation and experimental works of a single, 5 volt DC output switch mode power supply (SMPS). The main objective of this work is to design, build and evaluate the SMPS using flyback converter topology. In this work, a 555 timer was chosen as the pulse width modulator. The 555 timer was chosen because it is easily available, cheap and has the capability to produce stable pulse width modulation. The complete circuit of the SMPS consist of full bridge rectifier, smoothing capacitor, pulse width modulator, high frequency transformer and flyback converter. The complete SMPS circuit was firstly designed and simulated using Proteus software. After obtaining acceptable results from the simulation process, the hardware part of the project, soon follows. Next, the SMPS circuit was constructed on a breadbroad. Testing and measurements of important parameters such as the input and output voltages and duty cycle were carried out using digital oscilloscope and multi meter. Both simulation and experimental results have shown that the designed circuit can convert single 24 Vrms 50 Hz AC voltage input into a stable single 5±0.15 V DC outputs. This work also has shown that pulsed DC voltage with peak value of 3.8 V and frequency lower than 4 kHz is adequate in controlling the switching frequency of a MOSFET transistor, thus regulating the output voltage within the desired range. Further analysis also shows close correlation between the simulation and experimental results.

Automatic Maintenance Alert System for Heavy Duty Haulage Machines

The timely maintenance of haulage machines is important to prevent machine breakdown and reduce productivity down time. An unintended breakdown or machine stop due to inadequate maintenance causes huge financial loss to the company due to delivery delays. Excessive maintenance also increases production cost due to down time and workshop maintenance. Most haulage companies like Mantrac Ghana Limited have a maintenance schedule for their customers. However, most of these customers do not maintain these machines on time, largely due to forgetfulness or sheer disregard for the maintenance schedule. It is thus important to implement an automatic alert system to notify operators of this machinery when it is time for maintenance. This paper seeks to design an automatic alert system using ATmega328 microcontroller, SIM900 GSM module and alarm unit. A sensor connected to the engine of the haulage machine is used to monitor the condition and operational hours of the machine. The microcontroller is programmed using proteus software to receive instructions from the sensor and issue commands to activate both the GSM module and the buzzer simultaneously. The type and time of maintenance to be done is displayed on the LED display. A corresponding message is sent via the GSM module to both Mantrac Ghana Limited and the customer to undertake the type of maintenance. It can be concluded that an automatic alert system would improve strict adherence to maintenance schedule and help reduce machine.

Design and analysis of water quality monitoring and filtration system for different types of water in Malaysia.

Water pollution always occurs in Malaysia due to industrial, construction, agriculture, and household activities. River pollution can disturb water supply that eventually affects business and household activities. Thus, water quality monitoring system is needed to detect contaminated water. We developed a water quality monitoring and filtration system controlled by Arduino. The proposed system was designed in Proteus software and ThingSpeak platform was used for real-time monitoring. The main objective of the study was to compare water quality of river, lake and tap water in terms of pH, temperature, turbidity, electrical conductivity and oxidation–reduction potential. If the water quality was not satisfied, the water sample would be filtered through filtration system. Water turbidity level, pH, temperature, electrical conductivity, and oxidation–reduction potential for filtered and nonfiltered water were compared and analyzed according to international and national water quality standard. Besides that, statistical analysis such as box plot and one-way analysis of variance test was applied to validate data from the system. The real-time water quality monitoring system was implemented through data storage, data transfer, and data processing. The system was connected to wireless fidelity whereas the output data was sent to the user and monitored by ThingSpeak. The system can be further upgraded and scaled up to be applied in the main tank at our home or factory. The outcome of this research can be used as a reference for further study on lake and river pollution monitoring system.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13762-022-04192-x.

Amplifier is used as an input waveform amplifier by increasing the voltage using an IC power supply. TDA2030 is an amplifier IC with an Output Transformer Less (OTL) type. The amplifier can operate with a voltage of 12 Volt, 1.5 Ampere. The circuit design process uses Proteus software with a universal reference to the TDA2030 datasheet. Proteus experimental results can be seen by simulating the frequency response. Frequency response tests were carried out to obtain filter used for assemble the circuit to produce an ideal Band-pass filter. Then using Digital Oscilloscope, we can observe difference between waves getting emphasis and those they are not. The objective of this study is to determine the value of capacitor C3 with a good (frequency cut low). Changing value of C3 can produce the desired BPF output. In the experiment, capacitor C3 0.1uf obtained emphasizes low frequencies between 0-250 Hz. Values of C3 with good BPF 47uf and 100uf because the output produced good bass frequency and is suitable for use because the emphasis occurs between 0-5 Hz. On the amplifier IC TDA2030 has made, capacitor C3 with values 47uf and 100uf ideal to be used as BPF because the filter works in a balanced way.

Blind and disabled people suffer a loT to reach their destination, and there are many dangerous risks that disabled people must face. To avoid the inconvenience while walking, a smart electronic walking stick was proposed. This paper proposes a low-cost walking stick based on the latest technology, and a new implementation is intended to effectively interface with the blind. Basically, an ultrasonic sensor is implemented in a walking stick to detect obstacles in front of the blind or handicapped. If there is any obstacle, it will warn the blind person to avoid that obstacle and alert them in the form of a voice announcement. Every day in different ways to ensure people's flexible and safe movement. In this technology-driven world where people strive to live independently, this paper provides an inexpensive 3D ultrasonic stick for the blind to gain personal independence so the disabled can move from one place to another easily and safely. A portable stick is being designed and developed that detects the obstacles in the path of the blind using ultrasonic sensors. The voice alert is activated when any obstacle is detected. In addition, the flash drive is equipped with a system of Short Message Service (SMS) messages. The SMS system is used by the blind to send SMS messages to the numbers stored in the microcontroller in case of an emergency. This system has been successfully programmed with a voice announcement. Computer simulations are performed to evaluate system performance using Proteus software.
