A feature is a measured property of a monitored system. Feature extraction in condition monitoring requires domain knowledge about a system and its possible fault cases. To find the most sensitive features for fault patterns, one has to evaluate the relevancy of features. In this paper the authors use ReliefF, which is a K-nearest neighbors-based feature selection algorithm, to evaluate the features extracted from an induction motor dataset. The dataset contains data from eight different health states of an induction motor. Feature relevancy is calculated for each health state. The selected features are fed into a simple Bayesian binary classifier to calculate the most likely health state. The method provides insight into the relevance of features by sensor type and also by signal processing type. The evaluation of similarity among the selected features can help identify similar faults. The results obtained emphasize the importance of domain knowledge in the proper design of features. Furthermore, by considering experimental data obtained for multiple loading and noise conditions, the feature selection method indicates features which are best suited for diagnosing specific faults, regardless of external conditions. Such information can support the creation of robust monitoring systems.

This paper presents a case study of a rotor fault occurring in the rotor generator of a steam power plant located in Lontar, Banten Province, Indonesia. The steam power plant has 3 x 315 MV capacity and uses hydrogen in the cooling system. The issue arising during the operation was caused by heat transfer exceeding the normal level. The grounding of the rotor occurred through rising vibration and temperature, tripping the generator unit. During repairs, the axial spacer was replaced with a new model, where it is longer than the original, adding a bar spacer at a previously unavailable position and creating a cooling track profile. This is a case study on the replacement of the axial spacer model aimed at preventing the expansion of the winding, so as not to touch with each other, through the installation of a longer axial spacer and the addition of the spacer bar, and lastly adding the track profile to the cooling hydrogen gas flow thereby maximizing the cooling process from the end winding rotor generator. Heat transfer is an analysed parameter related to the model change of the axial spacer. The addition of a track cooling gas flow has been able to maximize the heat transfer process, which is simulated in this paper. The performance of the rotor generator increased through several parameters after the replacement of the axial spacer model.

A general trajectory planner for optimal control problems is presented and applied to a robot system. The approach is based on timed elastic bands and nonlinear model predictive control. By exploiting the sparsity in the underlying optimization problems the computational effort can be significantly reduced, resulting in a real-time capable planner. In addition, a localization based switching strategy is employed to enforce convergence and stability. The planning procedure is illustrated in a robotics application using a realistic SCARA type robot.

In the framework of robotics, Reinforcement Learning (RL) deals with the learning of a task by the robot itself. This paper presents a hierarchical-planning approach in which the robot learns the optimal behavior for different levels in a decoupled way. For high-level discrete actions, Q-learning was chosen, whereas for the low level we utilize Policy Improvement with Path Integrals (PI~2) algorithm to learn the parameters of policies, represented by rhythmic Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs). The paper studies the case of a 4-finger-gripper manipulator, which performs the task of continuously spinning a ball around a desired axis. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the hierarchical planning and the increased performance of the task when PI~2 is used in conjunction with rhythmic DMPs in a real environment.

High-figure of merit (FoM) plasmonic microwave resonator is researched as a non-invasive on-body sensor to monitor the human body's blood glucose variation rate in adults for biomedical applications, e.g., diabetic patients. The resonance frequencies of the proposed sensor are measured to be around [Formula: see text] GHz and [Formula: see text] GHz over the frequency band of DC to 6GHz which are suitable for monitoring interstitial fluid (ISF) changing rate. The [Formula: see text] sensor is experimentally wrapped on the human body arm to monitor the blood glucose changing rate via amplitude and frequency variations of the sensor. Amplitude variation and frequency shift are measured to be around 7 dB and 30 MHz, respectively. The measured results demonstrate the high precision of the proposed approach to depict a valid diagram for glucose changing rate due to good impedance matching of the designed microwave sensor and human body. The sensor is shown to enhance the sensitivity by a factor of 5 compared to the conventional ones.
