In the age of Industry 4.0, the automation of industrial processes is essential for enhancing efficiency, productivity, and flexibility. Autonomous mobile robots are pivotal in this transformation, particularly in material handling and logistics operations within complex industrial environments. Fuel cell hybrid autonomous mobile robots, a type of autonomous mobile robot that functions with hybridization of battery and fuel cell, offer significant advantages in operational efficiency and sustainability. However, the commercialization of these vehicles is impeded by the limited lifespan of fuel cells and the adverse effects of frequent startup-shutdown cycles, which lead to significant fuel cell degradation and reduced operational efficiency. This study addresses these challenges by presenting an innovative, health-aware energy management strategy tailored for fuel cell hybrid autonomous mobile robots. The proposed strategy aims to balance hydrogen consumption with fuel cell degradation through a comprehensive two-step approach. First, the offline module employs digital modeling combined with a Markov Decision process to generate long-term power profiles. This step includes the use of Dynamic Programming to optimize power distribution, ensuring an efficient energy management strategy. Additionally, a transformer neural network is trained on this optimized data to accurately predict the fuel cell's power output. In the online step, a Model Predictive control technique is utilized to dynamically track the fuel cell's power output based on real-time predictions from the trained transformer model. This enables the system to adapt to changing operational conditions, maintaining optimal performance and extending the fuel cell's lifespan. Our comparative analysis, based on simulations and experimental tests conducted in a controlled laboratory environment, demonstrates that this approach enhances both fuel cell lifespan and hydrogen efficiency. Specifically, our strategy ex

This paper proposes an iterative optimization method for trajectory control of connected automated vehicles (CAVs) at an off-ramp bottleneck, aiming to improve energy consumption and pollutant emissions in the traffic system. The methodology integrates real-world data from the Next Generation Simulation (NGSIM) dataset and generated data from each iteration. A comprehensive cost function is developed to evaluate safety, efficiency, comfort, equilibrium, lane-changing, energy, and emissions. The lane-changing process is divided into two stages: lane-changing decision-making (LCD) and lane-changing execution (LCE), modeled using advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. Specifically, gcForest is applied to model LCD, while long short-term memory (LSTM) is used for LCE, allowing for more precise control of lane-changing behavior. The analysis considers fuel consumption and key vehicular emissions, including carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOC), and particulate matter (PM). The results indicate that energy consumption and pollutant emissions are reduced by 20 % after three iterations of optimization. Furthermore, the iterative method demonstrates significant environmental improvements, particularly when the CAV market penetration rate (MPR) reaches approximately 50 %. Higher MPR levels further enhance the sustainability benefits of CAVs, making them more advantageous for promoting sustainable traffic development.

Industry has been actively integrating advanced solutions to enhance drilling efficiency and reduce NonProductive Time (NPT), which are critical to any drilling project. As a result, use of downhole drilling sensors has become increasingly common, from vertical to complex well profiles. These sensors enable real-time monitoring of downhole drilling dynamics, allowing for parameter adjustments that extend bit life, reduce Bottomhole Assembly (BHA) wear, and improve overall operational performance. This approach aimed to minimize drill string dysfunctions caused by interactions between drill string components and formation layers of varying compressive strengths, which can lead to dynamic vibrations. To determine ideal placement of real-time downhole sensors in the drill string, Finite Element analysis (FEA) was employed for simulations and modeling, incorporating field operational criteria to evaluate BHA configurations. The simulations produced high-frequency measurements, which were validated using offset data from actual field runs, confirming the accuracy of the results. The results highlighted that real-time sensor placement near cutting elements in the BHA, particularly above the BHA steering drive and close to the drill bit, could significantly improve drilling performance. This optimized configuration, enriched by real-time downhole data, enhanced the drilling process without compromising the steering efficiency required to meet trajectory goals as demonstrated in the presented case study for the reliability and consistency of this engineering analysis, by early detection of drill string dysfunctions, including shock and vibration, led to higher mitigation capabilities, resolving string hanging issues in rotary mode and improving overall control and effectiveness. Field results showed a remarkable 50% increase in the rate of penetration (ROP) and a reduction in total bit runs, resulting in enhanced operational productivity and saving over $2 million in overal

In this study, we have evaluated the efficiency of amoxicillin (AMX) removal by adsorption on the Y-Zeolite (Y-Z) followed by photocatalysis using CuO impregnated into the Zeolite by chemical route (CuO/Y-Z). Both CuO and CuO/Y-Z were synthesized and characterized by X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and FT-IR spectroscopy. The operational parameters of adsorption and photocatalysis under sunlight onto CuO/Y-Z were investigated and optimized step by step. The results showed that for an initial AMX (Co) concentration of 100 ppm, the adsorption reached a reduction of 40 %, accompanied by AMX release phenomenon. Heterogeneous solar photocatalysis not only addressed this phenomenon but also enhanced the removal efficiency to 98 %. TOC analysis revealed 65 %, indicating a high AMX mineralization under optimized conditions. The photodegradation kinetics were successfully described by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) model. The kinetic analysis parameters revealed that the disappearance of AMX follows a first-order kinetic, with a rate constant of 2.42 x 10- 2 min- 1 (t1/2 = 28 min), Additionally, a proposed empirical model for degradation kinetics demonstrated excellent agreement with experimental data, achieving a coefficient (R2) of 0.98 and a low RMSE. This model outperformed others under optimal conditions. Incorporating initial concentration as a variable enhanced generalization, simplified modeling, and improved predictive accuracy. This unified framework provides robust insights into elimination kinetics, optimizing processes in diverse industrial scenarios. In conclusion, the hybrid process using CuO/Y-Z offers a promising strategy for developing high-efficiency materials for wastewater treatments.
