Steady-state somatosensory evoked potentials (SSSEP)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) has been developed to control real-life assisting robots, such as an exoskeleton for body-disabled patients. Although the SSSEP-BCI system has been advanced by various research groups, improving the accuracy is required for applying stable control of the appliance. Moreover, the SSSEP-BCI study on body-disabled patients is still required to confirm applicability. In this study, the convolutional neural network (CNN) was applied to the SSSEP-BCI and compared with the regularized linear discriminant analysis (RLDA) as the widely used method. For extracting the spatial feature, the common spatial pattern (CSP) was used in both methods, and the efficiency of the CNN was validated via the SSSEP data from five healthy subjects and two spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. As a result of 9-fold cross-validation, the CSP-CNN method showed significantly higher accuracy than CSP-RLDA by 7.8% (Healthy subject) and 7.2% (SCI patients). We can therefore conjecture that CNN can improve the performance of SSSEP-BCI.

Smart wearable devices are becoming increasingly popular in daily life due to recent technological advances. They have various applications in the medical field (e.g., heart rate monitoring, blood pressure, blood oxygen), industrial field (e.g., worker assistance, gesture-based process control, recognition of unsafe conditions), and in the field of interactive virtual games (e.g., virtual reality, augmented reality). However, these devices must achieve their goals while meeting human needs during their use, such as wearability and adaptability. They must therefore be flexible, lightweight, and easy to understand with an intuitive interface. To fulfil these requirements, the challenge is to integrate flexible sensors and actuators into common clothing fabrics, minimizing the hardware needed and maximizing the wearer's comfort. In this paper, we present a novel dielectric elastomer (DE)based wearable device that can provide tactile feedback on its wearer. It consists of a pouch-like air pocket with a passive and an active silicone membrane (DE). This pouch or bubble is inflated with air pressure, which acts as the necessary bias mechanism pre-stretching both the passive and the active DE membrane. The device is designed in a way that the passive membrane side of the pouch is in contact with the wearer's skin. In addition, to better understand how the passive membrane affects the overall system behavior, we provide experimental characterization studies on design parameters (i.e., thickness and initial pretension of the passive silicone membrane) for different internal pressure values. This results in the membranes having many layers with no pretension to minimize leakage.

This research presents an advanced solar-powered cooling system seamlessly integrated with IoT functionalities offering a comprehensive solution for enhanced functionality, efficiency, and sustainability. The proposed system comprises a transmitting section incorporating essential components such as a solar panel, voltage regulator, Node MCU, temperature sensor, 12V DC fan, and transmitting coil. Utilizing the temperature sensor, the system dynamically regulates the fan operation, activating it when the transmitting coil’s temperature surpasses a predefined threshold to initiate cooling. Meanwhile, in the receiving section, a diode, potentiometer, and Node MCU collaborate to facilitate seamless wireless communication, enabling remote monitoring and control of critical parameters such as coil temperature and voltage during charging cycles. The development of the user interface is a testament to modern web technologies, with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript being employed to create an intuitive and visually appealing platform for real-time data visualization and system management. Through this integration, the system optimizes energy utilization and bridges the gap between renewable energy sources and smart cooling technologies, this integrated approach not only addresses the pressing need for eco-friendly cooling solutions additionally lays the background for a more environmentally friendly and sustainable future.

Superconductor-based magnetic levitation struggles with an inherently non-stiff and lightly damped coupling between superconductor and levitation module. This means a magnet that is levitating above a superconductor can easily start oscillating if the equilibrium is disturbed. This can, for example, occur if a superconductor-based levitation module is mounted on a mechanical handling system. During motion of the handling system magnetic torques generate angular velocities of the levitation module. For production systems that may use levitation for frictionless motion this is an undesired behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to stabilize the levitation module during motion of the handling system. In this publication a feed-forward disturbance compensation control scheme is proposed using a novel parallel actuator-sensorsystem based on induced voltages from time varying magnetic fields. The proposed control law is validated experimentally. Angular velocities during motion can be reduced by around 50%, depending on performance metric, with respect to the uncontrolled case.

Fruit recognition plays an important role in automated picking, in order to improve the accuracy and real-time picking, this study uses deep learning methods to design a fruit-picking robot visual recognition system. First, multiple preprocessing methods are used to expand the sample data, and the images are proportionally cropped and scaled to make the image dataset more complete;subsequently, to improve the accuracy of image recognition, a multilayer Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is established;and the Adam algorithm is utilized to train the model parameters several times to determine the optimal hyperparameters, thus overcoming the defects of the multilayer neural network that has a local optimal search. The experimental results show that compared with the random forest method, this system has the characteristics of high-speed recognition and high accuracy in fruit picking, and can quickly and accurately recognize fruit images, with the recognition speed of a single image taking only 0.081 seconds, and the recognition accuracy reaching more than 97.35%. The method has important theoretical and application value and provides an effective means for automatic fruit recognition.

In order to realize the position sensorless control of brushless DC motor, a position sensorless control method of brushless DC motor based on sliding mode observer is proposed. In order to reduce the chattering of the system, a smooth hyperbolic tangent function is introduced. Therefore, the controlsystem can obtain a smooth linear back-EMF estimate without adding a low-pass filter and a phase compensation module, thereby avoiding the phase lag of the back-EMF estimate. The estimated BLDC motor position sensorless back EMF signal corresponds to 3 virtual Hall signals, and 6 discrete commutation signals are directly obtained, thus eliminating the need for fixed phase shift circuit and phase shift angle calculation. Simulations and experiments show that the proposed method can accurately estimate the line back EMF of the position sensorless brushless DC motor, and achieve the research goal of precise control of the position sensorless brushless DC motor.

Although driving automation systems have made significant progress over recent years, human involvement is still vital, especially for Level 2 (L2) automated vehicles. This study aimed to design and evaluate an in-vehicle interface for vehicles with L2 features to help drivers understand critical situations that require intervention. This study was conducted in two phases. First, new dashboard prototypes were developed through four design iterations. Second, a between-design experimental study was conducted to test the dashboard designs' efficiency. Forty-two participants were assigned to three dashboard groups (advanced, Basic, Original) and drove through seven scenarios. Results showed that participants took back control significantly earlier (i.e., similar to 2 seconds earlier) in advanced and Basic Dashboard groups. The results indicated that providing take back control feedback helps drivers to be more aware while driving vehicles with L2 features and that additional feedback regarding road geometry can improve drivers' take back control performance.
