    Maximum power point tracking using hybrid fuzzy based p&o and back propagation (BP) neural network for photovoltaic system
    Photovoltaic system is one of the most popular renewable energy sources to solve the problem of energy crisis. The important problem of solar PV systems is their low efficiency and nonlinear output characteristics in the changing weather that causes the difficulty in tracking of maximum power. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes “Hybrid Fuzzy based P&O and Back Propagation (BP) neural network” for improving the efficiency and reducing the power oscillation of PV system. The proposed system composes of two parts which are fuzzy based P&O and Neural Network. The fuzzy based P&O is used to find the maximum power point (MPP) while the neural network is used to find the appropriate modulation index (ma). The proposed algorithm is adopted in the AC module flyback inverter in which modulation index (Δma) is used as the control variable to track the MPP of the PV array. Simulation results verify that the proposed technique can effectively track the power from PV system, and is better than the conventional P&O techniques

    Optimizing Wafer Classification in Industrial Manufacturing Using Particle Swarm Optimization and Deep Learning
    (2025-01-01)
    Suwannoot, Pisit
    ;
    In this study, we examine the application of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for wafer pattern classification, with a focus on enhancing training efficiency and model performance. To achieve this, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed to improve the model performance while reducing its complexity, a critical factor in production environments. By minimizing the number of layers, the proposed method accelerates training, reduces resource consumption, and enhances defect detection accuracy. Wafer failure patterns are classified into four categories: vertical, rectangular, edge, and horizontal. The approach achieves an impressive F1-score of 0.988, significantly surpassing the traditional CNN’s score of 0.83. By integrating PSO, the method considerably improves the visual inspection process for hard disk drives, contributing to high-quality production. This optimization not only streamlines workflows but also enables manufacturers to address issues more rapidly, aligning with Industry 4.0’s objectives of automation and intelligent monitoring.

    Sensor Fusion of Light Detection and Ranging and iBeacon to Enhance Accuracy of Autonomous Mobile Robot in Hard Disk Drive Clean Room Production Line
    In this paper, the adaptive Monte Carlo localization (AMCL) error in terms of similar data detected by light detection and ranging (LiDAR) in different locations is investigated. This localization causes a robot to move to the incorrect location temporarily. We propose the fusion of landmark-based localization using an iBeacon device combined with the AMCL algorithm. This technique can solve the probabilistic localization problem of the conventional techniques applied in mobile robots by fusing the timed elastic band (TEB) and scan-matching algorithms, which reduces the error from 7 cm to less than 3 cm. The proposed technique is implemented on a clean-room-type mobile robot with 100 kg payload certificated by the SOP39 standard.

    Decentralised and Centralised Fixed Structure H∞ Robust Loop Shaping for the MIMO Microsurgical Manipulation Based on PSOGSA
    (2026-01-01) ; ;
    Aoyama, Hisayuki
    This paper presents decentralised and centralised fixed-structure H∞ robust control methods optimised by the Particle Swarm Optimisation and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSOGSA) for a coupled multi-input multi-output (MIMO) microsurgical manipulator. The design framework explicitly considers uncertainties and disturbance constraints. Conventional H∞ loop-shaping controllers are typically of high order, complex, and difficult to implement in practice. To address this limitation, Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)-structured decentralised and centralised H∞ controllers are proposed, providing compact structures while retaining robustness. The novelty of this work lies in embedding H∞ robustness criteria into practical PID-based frameworks, bridging the gap between theoretical robust design and experimental implementation in microsurgical applications. The proposed controllers are evaluated against a reduced-order H∞ controller derived from Hankel norm approximation and a Ziegler–Nichols tuned PID controller, using both simulation and experimental studies. Results demonstrate that the proposed controllers achieve improved stability margins (0.449–0.521 compared with 0.436 for the reduced-order design), maintain low root-mean-square errors (≈0.067–0.089) and remain robust under voltage disturbances where conventional PID control fails. These findings confirm the contribution of a practical and efficient robust control strategy for enhancing the precision and reliability of microsurgical manipulators.

    The battery charger time is a major issue for mobile robots. The study of the power usage of each component is important for optimizing the overall power consumption. Additionally, knowing the total energy consumption before commanding a robot to execute a task is essential for effective queue management and determining which robots are ready to execute tasks or move to the charging station. In this paper, we propose an energy modeling system consisting of an energy sensing technique, logging, and a recurrent neural network prediction model. The model is configured to recognize the dynamic system of the drive unit with the support of the robot operating system. The proposed model has a prediction error of only 3.58%. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system.

    Remote sensing to minimize energy consumption of six-axis robot arm using particle swarm optimization and artificial neural network to control changes in real time

    ;
    We propose a new method for the analysis and design of a robotic system that minimizes the energy consumption of a six-axis robot arm by controlling the velocity and acceleration of each arm of the robot to achieve the specified trajectory of the robot determined from a lean manufacturing method. A dynamic model of the PUMA 560 robot has been simulated on MATLAB, while the Robotics Toolbox and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are utilized to search for optimal paths and the optimal velocity and acceleration of the robot arms. The optimal velocity and acceleration are described as those giving minimum overall energy consumption constrained by a specified cycle time of the entire robotic system. Typically, the picking and placing of materials are carried out by humans, causing a variation in production rate, whereas our system using a robot arm ensures a stable production rate. Moreover, the optimal results obtained from PSO are adopted to train an artificial neural network (ANN) to extend the design system from discrete optimal values to a continuous and near-optimal value. In other words, the ANN is used to obtain an approximate optimal value between those obtained from PSO to make the system applicable to a real-world system. As shown by the simulation results, this method reduces the energy consumption of 12.3% from the initial energy and reduces the time for optimization by 99.8% compared with that for the PSO technique.

    In the field of industrial robotics, robotic arms have been significantly integrated, driven by their precise functionality and operational efficiency. We here propose a hybrid method for bin-picking tasks using a collaborative robot, or cobot combining the You Only Look Once version 5 (YOLOv5) convolutional neural network (CNN) model for object detection and pose estimation with traditional feature detection based on the features from accelerated segment test (FAST) technique, feature description using binary robust invariant scalable keypoints (BRISK) algorithms, and matching algorithms. By integrating these algorithms and utilizing a low-cost depth sensor camera for capturing depth and RGB images, the system enhances real-time object detection and pose estimation speed, facilitating accurate object manipulation by the robotic arm. Furthermore, the proposed method is implemented within the robot operating system (ROS) framework to provide a seamless platform for robotic control and integration. We compared our results with those of other methodologies, highlighting the superior object detection accuracy and processing speed of our hybrid approach. This integration of robotic arm, camera, and AI technology contributes to the development of industrial robotics, opening up new possibilities for automating challenging tasks and improving overall operational efficiency.

    Prediction of Flying Height Using Deep Neural Network Based on Particle Swarm Optimization in Hard Disk Drive Manufacturing Process
    (2024-01-01)
    Kanjanapruthipong, Worawit
    ;
    ;
    In contemporary hard disk drive (HDD) manufacturing processes, after the assembly of the HDD from the production line, a series of diverse calibration procedures are necessary to ensure standardization. These include capacity calibration, which determines the storage space in terabytes (TB) presently available, and flying height (FH) calibration, which evaluates the distance between the head and the disk by applying electric current to the heater coil element to achieve the desired FH, thus optimizing the writing and reading performance and tailoring it to each HDD. Additionally, electric current is saved in a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) unit for the utilization of a read/write head, while a preamp collaborates with the drive firmware to convert the electric current in the DAC unit to milliwatts. In the present scenario, multiple calibrations of flying heights (FHs), specifically flying height 1 (FH1) and flying height 2 (FH2), are performed. Each FH calibration requires a testing time of approximately 5 h owing to the separation of measurement points into 240 locations across the disk surface, referred to as test zones, with a total of 20 heads. The primary objective of this study is to reduce the testing time by using a combination of deep neural network (DNN) and particle swarm optimization techniques to predict the DAC profiles of FH2 as it approaches FH1, where FH1 is the input for the DNN model.

    Specified order - H∞ loop shaping control for hard disk drive servo using pso
    The demand of data storage density has been increasing continuously, but the data access time and track pitch need to be decreased. The high precision servo control system is required to achieve the predicted goal that will be crossing 10 TB/in<sup>2</sup> area, I density before 2020. Due to the fact that the precision of read/write head is sensitive to disturbance and noise, it is the challenging problem for the practical control. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a new servo controller designed, specified order - H<inf>∞</inf> loop shaping (SOHLS) which adapts the particle swarm optimization (PSO) for searching the optimal controller parameters. The proposed technique can solve the problem of high order that was caused from the conventional H<inf>∞</inf> loop shaping (HLS), in addition, it can guarantee the robustness of the servo system,. Based on simulation results, the performances of the proposed SOHLS approach are investigated in comparison with that of the conventional H<inf>∞</inf> robust loop shaping, fixed-structure H<inf>∞</inf> control based on nonsmooth algorithm including reduced order controller by Hangkel norm model reduction technique. The proper repeatable runout (RRO) and non-repea table runout (NRRO) were applied, to the system to verify the robustness of all designed, controllers. The results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed SOHLS which gains better performance and more robustness than the other conventional controllers.

    A Small Deep Learning Model for Fault Detection of a Broken Rotor Bar of an Induction Motor
    In this paper, we present an investigation of a small deep learning model applied to the detection of a broken rotor bar of an induction motor. The motor current spectrum analysis is the base method for fault detection. This proposed method focuses on the analysis of the modification of the input vector and model configuration. This method was implemented and it showed that the feature length and size of the model are reduced compared with the existing method. The experimental results showed that only feature extraction using the spectral-based method and limit range of its coefficient are adequate to provide accuracy of small deep learning comparable to that of the parallel-layer deep learning model. Likewise, at the same accuracy level, based on the deep learning model, a shorter sampling duration than that required by the reference model is needed.
