Basically, human can sense the active body force trough the soles of their feet and can feel the position vector of zero moment point (ZMP) based on the center of pressure (CoP) from active body force. This behavior is adapted by T-FLoW humanoid robot using unique sensor which is piezoelectric sensor. Piezoelectric sensor has a characteristic which is non-continuous reading (record a data only a moment). Because of it, this sensor cannot be used to stream data such as flex sensor, loadcell sensor, and torque sensor like previous research. Therefore, the piezoelectric sensor still can be used to measure the position vector of ZMP. The idea is using this sensor in a special condition which is during landing condition. By utilizing 6 unit of piezoelectric sensor with a certain placement, the position vector of ZMP (X-Y-axis) and pressure value in Z-axis from action body force can be found. The force resultant method is used to find the position vector of ZMP from each piezoelectric sensor. Based on those final conclusions in each experiment, the implementation of foot pressure sensor modul using piezoelectric sensor has a good result (94%) as shown in final conclusions in each experiment. The advantages of this new foot pressure sensor modul is low-cost design and similar result with another sensor. The disadvantages of this sensor are because of the main characteristic of piezoelectric sensor (non-continuous read) sometimes the calculation has outlayer data.

ย
The document presents a study comparing different wavelet families for classifying electromyography (EMG) signals based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The proposed method involves decomposing EMG signals into sub-bands using DWT, extracting statistical features from each sub-band, and using support vector machines (SVM) for classification. Results showed that the sym14 wavelet at the 8th decomposition level achieved the best classification performance for detecting neuromuscular disorders. The study demonstrates that the proposed DWT-based approach can effectively classify EMG signals and help diagnose neuromuscular conditions.
Effect of Measurement Factors on Photovoltaic Cell Parameters ExtractingYayah Zakaria
ย
This document discusses the effect of measurement factors on extracting photovoltaic cell parameters. It studies how the size of the measurement data set, the voltage range measured, and the connection mode of cells (parallel vs serial) can impact the accuracy of extracted parameters. The study finds that 40 measurement points provides the most accurate values for parameters like photocurrent, saturation current, and ideality factor. Fewer points increase error, while more points do not linearly improve accuracy. It also shows parameters are highly dependent on the voltage zone measured and that different cell connections influence results. An experimental setup and Newton-Raphson method are used to extract parameters from I-V curves based on a single diode model.

A Novel Approach for Precise Motion Artefact Detection in Photoplethysmograph...AM Publications
ย
This document presents a novel approach for detecting motion artifacts in photoplethysmograph (PPG) signals using a covered photo-detector. PPG signals are affected by motion artifacts during movement, limiting their use. The proposed method uses two photodetectors - a main photodetector to record the corrupted PPG signal, and a covered photodetector to record only the motion artifact. Experiments show the covered photodetector can accurately reflect motion-induced noise, unlike accelerometers which do not directly correlate with PPG signal noise. This approach provides a reliable reference noise signal for adaptive noise cancellation techniques to remove motion artifacts from PPG signals.

ย
Electrical impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging technique based on measuring of the
electrical conductivity and capacitance of abnormal and normal human tissues. The present work aims to
develop an EIT imaging system for imaging thyroid gland. Patients with thyroid nodules were eligible for
the study. The study was conducted on two groups of participants: control group consists of 20 normal
female cases and experimental consists of 20 goiter female patients. The thyroid nodule location, size, and
type measured by ultrasound. Thyroid gland conductivity and permittivity were recorded using EIT. The
impedance measurement is done through the applying of two probes: one probe to the neck region
(scanning probe) and the rest region (reference probe) with electrolytic gel for each probe, then the system
software proceeds to reconstruct the image and calculate the electrical impedance of the thyroid gland on
a personal computer which acts as an output display and storage for case information. The thyroid
scanning probe has 64 electrodes embedded on a small space (30 mm diameter and 50 mm height) inside
of the probe. Multifrequency impedance measurements are typically made by applying an electric current
to a target mass by using of the scanning probe and measuring the developed voltage. The present EIT
system provides real- time visualization of the spatial distribution of the electrical properties of the thyroid
tissue. Images obtained from the bioimpedance (BI) were compared to images obtained from the
ultrasound imaging, results showed great similarity between the two diagnostic images. Tumor tissue has
higher resistance and capacitance value than that of normal thyroid gland.
This document describes a study that developed an Internet of Things (IoT) based electromyography (EMG) monitoring device to analyze muscle fatigue in the biceps brachii muscle during manual lifting tasks. EMG signals were recorded from four male participants performing repetitive lifting and divided into four phases. The mean power frequency of the signals was calculated to evaluate muscle activity and fatigue in each phase. A WiFi module was also added to transmit the raw EMG data over the internet using TCP/IP protocol, making the device an IoT device. The results showed that phase 2, lifting the weight, experienced the most muscle fatigue compared to the other phases. The study concluded that repetitive manual lifting leads to fatigue in all muscles

Abstract: Often it can be seen that men with a lost arm face severe difficulties doing daily chores. Artificial
Intelligence could be effectively used to provide some respite to those people. Neural networks and their
applications have been an active research topic since recent past in the rehabilitation robotics/machine
learning community, as it can be used to predict posture/gesture which is guided by signals from the human
brain. In this paper, a method is proposed to estimate force from Surface Electromyography (s-EMG) signals
generated by specific hand movements and then design and control a Robotic arm using Artificial Neural

Motion artifacts reduction in cardiac pulse signal acquired from video imaging IJECEIAES
ย
This study examines the possibility of remotely measuring the cardiac pulse activity of a patient, which could be an alternative technique to the classical method. This type of measurement is non-invasive. However, several limitations may deteriorate the accuracy of the results, including changes in ambient illumination, motion artifacts (MA) and other interferences that may occur through video recording. The paper in hand presents a new approach as a remedy for the aforementioned problem in cardiac pulse signals extracted from facial video recordings. Partitioning provides the basis for the presented MA reduction method; the acquired signals are partitioned into two sets for each second and every partition is shifted to the mean level and then all the partitions are recombined again into one signal, which is followed by low-pass filtering for enhancement. The proposed compared with ordinary pulse oximetry Photoplethysmographic (PPG) method. The resulted correlation coefficient was found (0.957) when calculated between the results of the proposed method and the ordinary one. Experiments were implemented using a common camera by creating a dataset from 11 subjects. The ease of implementation of this method with a simple that can be used to monitor the cardiac pulse rates in both home and the clinical environments.
An Experimental Study on a Pedestrian Tracking Deviceoblu.io
ย
The implemented navigational algorithm of an inertial
navigation system (INS), along with the hardware configuration, decides its tracking performance. Besides, operating conditions also influence its tracking performance. The aim of this study is to demonstrate robust performance of a multiple Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) based foot-mounted INS, The Osmium MIMU22BTP, under varying operating conditions. The device, which performs zero-velocity-update (ZUPT) aided navigation, is subjected to different conditions which could potentially influence gait of its wearer, its hardware configuration etc. The gait-influencing factors chosen for study are shoe type, walking surface, path profile and walking speed. Besides, the tracking performance of the device is also studied for different number of on-board IMUs and the ambient temperature. The tracking performance of MIMU22BTP is reported for all these factors and benchmarked using identified performance metrics. We observe very robust tracking performance of MIMU22BTP. The average relative errors are less than 3 to 4% under all the conditions, with respect to drift, distance and height, indicating a potential for a variety of location based services based on foot mounted inertial sensing and dead reckoning.

IRJET- Development of GUI based Simulator for the EBI SignalIRJET Journal
ย
This document describes the development of a GUI-based simulator for electrical bio-impedance (EBI) signals. Six curve fitting models (polynomial, Fourier series, sum of sine waves, exponential, Gaussian, rational polynomial) were used to model impedance cardiography and impedance respirography signals. The models were evaluated based on sum of square errors, correlation between actual and modeled data, and execution time. The Fourier model provided the best fit for EBI signals. A GUI simulator was created that allows users to generate simulated EBI signals by controlling signal model parameters and adding noise/motion artifacts. The simulator could be useful for research and analysis of EBI signals.

ECG signal denoising using a novel approach of adaptive filters for real-time...IJECEIAES
ย
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is considered as the main signal that can be used to diagnose different kinds of diseases related to human heart. During the recording process, it is usually contaminated with different kinds of noise which includes power-line interference, baseline wandering and muscle contraction. In order to clean the ECG signal, several noise removal techniques have been used such as adaptive filters, empirical mode decomposition, Hilbert-Huang transform, wavelet-based algorithm, discrete wavelet transforms, modulus maxima of wavelet transform, patch based method, and many more. Unfortunately, all the presented methods cannot be used for online processing since it takes long time to clean the ECG signal. The current research presents a unique method for ECG denoising using a novel approach of adaptive filters. The suggested method was tested by using a simulated signal using MATLAB software under different scenarios. Instead of using a reference signal for ECG signal denoising, the presented model uses a unite delay and the primary ECG signal itself. Least mean square (LMS), normalized least mean square (NLMS), and Leaky LMS were used as adaptation algorithms in this paper.

Abstract - Positioning is a fundamental component of human life to make meaningful interpretations of the environment. Without knowledge of position, human beings are like machines and have very limited capabilities to interact with the environment. Even machines in todayโs world can be made smarter if positioning information is made available to them. Indoor positioning of pedestrians is the broad area considered in this thesis. A foot mounted pedestrian tracking device has been studied for this purpose. Systems which utilize foot mounted inertial navigation system has been in the literature for more than two decades. However very few real time implementations have been possible. The purpose of this thesis is to benchmark and improve the performance of one such implementation.
Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Control Approach for a Single Inverted Pendulum System IJECEIAES
ย
The inverted pendulum is an under-actuated and nonlinear system, which is also unstable. It is a single-input double-output system, where only one output is directly actuated. This paper investigates a single intelligent control system using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to stabilize the inverted pendulum system while tracking the desired position. The nonlinear inverted pendulum system was modelled and built using MATLAB Simulink. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy logic controller was implemented and its performance was compared with a Sugeno-fuzzy inference system in both simulation and real experiment. The ANFIS controller could reach its desired new destination in 1.5 s and could stabilize the entire system in 2.2 s in the simulation, while in the experiment it took 1.7 s to reach stability. Results from the simulation and experiment showed that ANFIS had better performance compared to the Sugeno-fuzzy controller as it provided faster and smoother response and much less steady-state error.
Embedded system for upper-limb exoskeleton based on electromyography controlTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
ย
A major problem in an exoskeleton based on electromyography (EMG) control with pattern recognition-based is the need for more time to train and to calibrate the system in order able to adapt for different subjects and variable. Unfortunately, the implementation of the joint prediction on an embedded system for the exoskeleton based on the EMG control with non-pattern recognition-based is very rare. Therefore, this study presents an implementation of elbow-joint angle prediction on an embedded system to control an upper limb exoskeleton based on the EMG signal. The architecture of the system consisted of a bio-amplifier, an embedded ARMSTM32F429 microcontroller, and an exoskeleton unit driven by a servo motor. The elbow joint angle was predicted based on the EMG signal that is generated from biceps. The predicted angle was obtained by extracting the EMG signal using a zero-crossing feature and filtering the EMG feature using a Butterworth low pass filter. This study found that the range of root mean square error and correlation coefficients are 8ยฐ-16ยฐ and 0.94-0.99, respectively which suggest that the predicted angle is close to the desired angle and there is a high relationship between the predicted angle and the desired angle.

Partitioning provides the basis for the presented MA reduction method; the acquired signals are partitioned into two sets for each second and every partition is shifted to the mean level and then all the partitions are recombined again into one signal, which is followed by low-pass filtering for enhancement. The proposed compared with ordinary pulse oximetry Photoplethysmographic (PPG) method. The resulted correlation coefficient was found (0.957) when calculated between the results of the proposed method and the ordinary one. Experiments were implemented using a common camera by creating a dataset from 11 subjects. The ease of implementation of this method with a simple that can be used to monitor the cardiac pulse rates in both home and the clinical environments.
An Experimental Study on a Pedestrian Tracking Deviceoblu.io
ย
The implemented navigational algorithm of an inertial
navigation system (INS), along with the hardware configuration, decides its tracking performance. Besides, operating conditions also influence its tracking performance. The aim of this study is to demonstrate robust performance of a multiple Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) based foot-mounted INS, The Osmium MIMU22BTP, under varying operating conditions. The device, which performs zero-velocity-update (ZUPT) aided navigation, is subjected to different conditions which could potentially influence gait of its wearer, its hardware configuration etc. The gait-influencing factors chosen for study are shoe type, walking surface, path profile and walking speed. Besides, the tracking performance of the device is also studied for different number of on-board IMUs and the ambient temperature. The tracking performance of MIMU22BTP is reported for all these factors and benchmarked using identified performance metrics. We observe very robust tracking performance of MIMU22BTP. The average relative errors are less than 3 to 4% under all the conditions, with respect to drift, distance and height, indicating a potential for a variety of location based services based on foot mounted inertial sensing and dead reckoning.

ย
This document describes the development of a GUI-based simulator for electrical bio-impedance (EBI) signals. Six curve fitting models (polynomial, Fourier series, sum of sine waves, exponential, Gaussian, rational polynomial) were used to model impedance cardiography and impedance respirography signals. The models were evaluated based on sum of square errors, correlation between actual and modeled data, and execution time. The Fourier model provided the best fit for EBI signals. A GUI simulator was created that allows users to generate simulated EBI signals by controlling signal model parameters and adding noise/motion artifacts.

ECG signal denoising using a novel approach of adaptive filters for real-time...IJECEIAES
ย
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is considered as the main signal that can be used to diagnose different kinds of diseases related to human heart. During the recording process, it is usually contaminated with different kinds of noise which includes power-line interference, baseline wandering and muscle contraction. In order to clean the ECG signal, several noise removal techniques have been used such as adaptive filters, empirical mode decomposition, Hilbert-Huang transform, wavelet-based algorithm, discrete wavelet transforms, modulus maxima of wavelet transform, patch based method, and many more. Unfortunately, all the presented methods cannot be used for online processing since it takes long time to clean the ECG signal. The current research presents a unique method for ECG denoising using a novel approach of adaptive filters. The suggested method was tested by using a simulated signal using MATLAB software under different scenarios. Instead of using a reference signal for ECG signal denoising, the presented model uses a unite delay and the primary ECG signal itself. Least mean square (LMS), normalized least mean square (NLMS), and Leaky LMS were used as adaptation algorithms in this paper.

Abstract - Positioning is a fundamental component of human life to make meaningful interpretations of the environment. Without knowledge of position, human beings are like machines and have very limited capabilities to interact with the environment. Even machines in todayโs world can be made smarter if positioning information is made available to them. Indoor positioning of pedestrians is the broad area considered in this thesis. A foot mounted pedestrian tracking device has been studied for this purpose. Systems which utilize foot mounted inertial navigation system has been in the literature for more than two decades. However very few real time implementations have been possible. The purpose of this thesis is to benchmark and improve the performance of one such implementation.
Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Control Approach for a Single Inverted Pendulum System IJECEIAES
ย
The inverted pendulum is an under-actuated and nonlinear system, which is also unstable. It is a single-input double-output system, where only one output is directly actuated. This paper investigates a single intelligent control system using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to stabilize the inverted pendulum system while tracking the desired position. The nonlinear inverted pendulum system was modelled and built using MATLAB Simulink. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy logic controller was implemented and its performance was compared with a Sugeno-fuzzy inference system in both simulation and real experiment. The ANFIS controller could reach its desired new destination in 1.5 s and could stabilize the entire system in 2.2 s in the simulation, while in the experiment it took 1.7 s to reach stability. Results from the simulation and experiment showed that ANFIS had better performance compared to the Sugeno-fuzzy controller as it provided faster and smoother response and much less steady-state error.
Embedded system for upper-limb exoskeleton based on electromyography controlTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
ย
A major problem in an exoskeleton based on electromyography (EMG) control with pattern recognition-based is the need for more time to train and to calibrate the system in order able to adapt for different subjects and variable. Unfortunately, the implementation of the joint prediction on an embedded system for the exoskeleton based on the EMG control with non-pattern recognition-based is very rare. Therefore, this study presents an implementation of elbow-joint angle prediction on an embedded system to control an upper limb exoskeleton based on the EMG signal. The architecture of the system consisted of a bio-amplifier, an embedded ARMSTM32F429 microcontroller, and an exoskeleton unit driven by a servo motor. The elbow joint angle was predicted based on the EMG signal that is generated from biceps. The predicted angle was obtained by extracting the EMG signal using a zero-crossing feature and filtering the EMG feature using a Butterworth low pass filter. This study found that the range of root mean square error and correlation coefficients are 8ยฐ-16ยฐ and 0.94-0.99, respectively which suggest that the predicted angle is close to the desired angle and there is a high relationship between the predicted angle and the desired angle.

Several algorithms have been offered to track the Maximum Power Point when we have one maximum power point. Moreover, fuzzy control and neural was utilized to track the Maximum Power Point when we have multi-peaks power points. In this paper, we will propose an improved Maximum Power Point tracking method for the photovoltaic system utilizing a modified PSO algorithm. The main advantage of the method is the decreasing of the steady state oscillation (to practically zero) once the Maximum Power Point is located. moreover, the proposed method has the ability to track the Maximum Power Point for the extreme environmental condition that cause the presence of maximum multi-power points, for example, partial shading condition and large fluctuations of insolation. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, MATLAB simulations are carried out under very challenging circumstance, namely step changes in irradiance, step changes in load, and partial shading of the Photovoltaic array. Finally, its performance is compared with the perturbation and observationโ and fuzzy logic results for the single peak, and the neural-fuzzy control results for the multi-peaks.

Event detection has an important role in detecting the switching of the state of the appliance in the residential environment. This paper proposed a robust smoothing method for cepstrum estimation using double smoothing i.e. the cepstrum smoothing and local linear regression method.

Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.

ย
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
ย
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.
Enhancing of single-stage grid-connected photovoltaic system using fuzzy logi...IJECEIAES
ย
The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

ย
Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
ย
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

ย
A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances studentsโ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

ย
Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.

ย
Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.

ย
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

Basically, human can sense the active body force trough the soles of their
feet and can feel the position vector of zero moment point (ZMP) based on
the center of pressure (CoP) from active body force. This behavior is adapted
by T-FLoW humanoid robot using unique sensor which is piezoelectric
sensor. Piezoelectric sensor has a characteristic which is non-continuous
reading (record a data only a moment). Because of it, this sensor cannot be
used to stream data such as flex sensor, loadcell sensor, and torque sensor
like previous research. Therefore, the piezoelectric sensor still can be used to
measure the position vector of ZMP. The idea is using this sensor in a special
condition which is during landing condition. By utilizing 6 unit of
piezoelectric sensor with a certain placement, the position vector of ZMP (X-
Y-axis) and pressure value in Z-axis from action body force can be found.
The force resultant method is used to find the position vector of ZMP from
each piezoelectric sensor. Based on those final conclusions in each
experiment, the implementation of foot pressure sensor modul using
piezoelectric sensor has a good result (94%) as shown in final conclusions in
each experiment. The advantages of this new foot pressure sensor modul is
low-cost design and similar result with another sensor. The disadvantages of
this sensor are because of the main characteristic of piezoelectric sensor
(non-continuous read) sometimes the calculation has outlayer data.

1. INTRODUCTION
Generally human behavior was adapted in many systems which has special requirement in each part
such as mechanical design (body design, kinematics, dynamics, or mechanic characteristic) and control
design (PID control, fuzzy control, or neural network). In T-FLoW humanoid robot system has several
special requirements. T-FLoW humanoid robot is humanoid robot from EEPIS Robotics Research Center
(ER2C) Laboratory. T-FLoW humanoid robot has 28 Degree of Freedom (DoF) version and teen size of
mechanical body. In the development of T-FLoW humanoid robot, there is one behavior which will adapted
by T-FLoW humanoid robot and will discuss in this paper as shown in Figure 1. This behavior is sense the
active body force trough the soles of their feet. In humanoid robot, the behavior to sense the active body
force trough the soles of the feet are same as with directly measuring the position vector of Zero Moment
Point (ZMP) based on Center of Pressure (CoP) [1โ3].
In previous research, there are several sensors which normally used in humanoid robot such as Force
Sensing Resistant (FSR) sensor [4, 5], LoadCell sensor [6], and F/T sensor and several methods to obtain the

position vector of ZMP based on the sensor usage such as fuzzy and clustering (AI) [7โ13]. Based on
previous research before, this paper will discuss about how to measure the position vector of ZMP using a
unique sensor which is piezoelectric sensor.

Piezoelectric sensor is very unique sensor which has a characteristic non-continuous reading (record
a data only a moment) when receive a single continuous pressure (non-polarization process) [14โ31].
Because of it, this sensor cannot be used to stream data such as flex sensor, loadcell sensor, and torque sensor
like previous research [7โ13]. Therefore, the piezoelectric sensor still can be used to measure the position
vector of ZMP. The idea is using this sensor in a special condition which is during landing condition. By
utilizing 6 unit of piezoelectric sensor with a certain placement, the position vector of ZMP (X-Y-axis) and
pressure value in Z-axis from action body force can be found. The force resultant method is used to find the
position vector of ZMP from each piezoelectric sensor. Because the sensor placement is fixed, the force
resultant method can be used to find the position vector of ZMP (X-Y-axis) and pressure value in Z-axis.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
The research method is describing about why and how the piezoelectric sensor is used to gain the
position vector of ZMP based on CoP. Research method has several sub-sections which is piezoelectric
sensor characteristic, piezoelectric sensor usage, resultant force method, design of foot sensor module, and
hardware overview.
2.1. Piezoelectric sensor characteristic
Piezoelectric sensor has different characteristic with another pressure sensor as mentioned before.
This section will explain about piezoelectric sensor characteristic. Piezoelectric is a material which transform
the energy from mechanical domain into electrical domain or electrical domain into mechanical domain. This
transformation process is called piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectric effect has 2 conditions based on transform
domain. The example of piezoelectric effect is when piezoelectric material is applied with electricity
(electrical domain), the piezoelectric material will vibrate (mechanical domain) and causing a sound. Another
example is when piezoelectric material is applied with pressure, touch, or vibration (mechanical domain), the
piezoelectric material will generate an electricity (electrical domain) with dynamic range based on the
frequency and how strong the applied pressure, touch, or vibration.
Piezoelectric effect which has relation with this discussion is when piezoelectric material as shown
in Figure 2 is transform the mechanical domain into electrical domain. The mechanical domain in this
discussion is pressure force in the soles of the feet caused by active body force and the electrical domain is
electricity which generated by piezoelectric material based on the applied pressure force as shown in
Figure 3.

(based on material). ๐ , is generated voltage caused by applied pressure force
2.2. Piezoelectric sensor usage
Based on the characteristic of piezoelectric sensor, this section will explain about how to use this
sensor to obtain the pressure data. When piezoelectric material is used to transform the data from mechanical
domain (pressure) into electrical domain (electricity), the pressure force must have a non-continuous pressure
(polarization process/several pressure in a time domain) to generate a continuous electricity as shown in
Figure 4. If the pressure force is continuous pressure (non-polarization process/single continuous pressure),
the piezoelectric sensor has a single data reading with dynamics pick based on the how big applied pressure
force as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5. Comparison between continuous pressures (non-polarization process/single continuous pressure)
with generated electricity of piezoelectric sensor
Because of it, the piezoelectric sensor has opposite usage and opposite characteristic from another
pressure sensor such as FSR, LoadCell, and F/T sensor. Therefore, the piezoelectric sensor still can be used
to obtain the position vector of ZMP as result of this discussion. The idea to achieve this result is, the
piezoelectric sensor is used in a special condition as seen in Figure 5. The special condition is during landing
condition (when feet of legs is touching the ground/base). As seen in Figure 5, the special condition has
unequal data with highest and lowest peak. The data must be reconditioned to obtain the average data (2).
The (3) is used to obtain the real applied pressure force (๐น , ) from average data of piezoelectric sensor
(๐ , , ).

data of piezoelectric sensor (๐ , , ).The piezoelectric sensor is placed in the soles of the feet. To obtain
the position vector of ZMP, at least needs 3 unit of piezoelectric sensor [19]. In this discussion, T-FLoW
humanoid robot will utilize 6 unit of piezoelectric sensor with a certain placement (fix placement). The data
from these piezoelectric sensors (๐ , ) is combined and processed by using resultant force method to
obtain the position vector of ZMP (X-Y-axis) and pressure value in Z-axis from action body force can be
found.
2.3. Resultant force method (non-parallel)
Sometimes, a force usually has a certain angle (๐ , ) from normal axis (X-Y-axis). The resultant
force is how to transform this kind of force into force vector (X-Y-axis). The resultant force method has 2
kinds of calculation based on the force angle which can be seen in Figure 6 and Figure 7.

Figure 6 is explaining about the scalar force (๐น , ) with uncertain angle(๐ , ). This kind of scalar

based on CoP from 6 unit of piezoelectric sensor. Each sensor has fixed placement in the soles of the robot
feet as seen in Figure 8.

Piezoelectric sensor will measure the vertical pressure force which happen in the feet of robot. To
generate the position vector of ZMP and pressure value in Z-axis, each sensor is calculated by using

3. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
This section is explaining an implementation results of foot sensor modul using piezoelectric sensor.
Several experiments such as walk in place, walk in place with forward force disturbance, and walk in place
with right side force disturbance was implemented into T-FLoW humanoid robot. In the explanation in sub-
section, the analysis is focused into the main issue of disturbance. During walk in place experiment, the
analysis is focused in the position vector of ZMP based on CoP calculation in the X-axis. It is because the
position vector of ZMP based on CoP in Y-axis is undominant. During walk in place with forward force
disturbance experiment, the analysis is focused in the position vector of ZMP based on CoP calculation in the
X-axis similar with walk inplace experiment. During walk in place with right side force disturbance
experiment, the analysis is focused in the position vector of ZMP based on CoP calculation in the Y-axis
because position vector of ZMP based on CoP in Y-axis is dominant. Those experiments were doing with
same walking locomotion parameters and in the flat floor (flat base).
3.1. Walk in place
This sub-section is explaining an implementation result of foot sensor modul using piezoelectric
sensor during walking locomotion (walk in place). The implementation process is shown in Figure 10 and the
result of foot sensor module calculation (position vector of ZMP based on CoP) is shown in Figure 11.
Figure 10 is shows the walking locomotion process in the normal condition (without disturbance).
T-FLoW humanoid robot needs 1.5 second to doing 1 full step of walk. From Figure 11, the calculation of
position vector of ZMP based on CoP has maximum and minimum value (range) at 16 mm until -22 mm.
The average value in positive area (forward direction in X-axis) has value at 0.8 mm and the average value in

4. CONCLUSION
From the 3 experiment which has been done. The final conclusion in first experiment is T-FLoW
humanoid robot during walk in place has dominant characteristic walk in place with backward direction (with
comparison about - 0.3 mm). The final conclusion in second experiment is T-FLoW humanoid robot during
walk in place has dominant characteristic walk in place with forward direction (with comparison about 85.96
mm). The final conclusion in third experiment is T-FLoW humanoid robot during walk in place has dominant
characteristic walk in place with right side direction (with comparison about -66.6 mm). Based on those final
conclusions in each experiment, the implementation of foot pressure sensor modul using piezoelectric sensor
has a good result (94%) as shown in final conclusions in each experiment. The advantages of this new foot
pressure sensor modul is low-cost design and similar result with another sensor such as flex sensor, loadcell
sensor, and torque sensor. The disadvantages of this sensor are needed to recalculation because of the main
characteristic of piezoelectric sensor (non-continuous read). Because of it, sometimes the calculation has
outlayer data such as in the third experiment. But overall, the proposed model of foot pressure sensor modul
in this research is work fine and already implemented in T-FLoW humanoid robot.
