This paper proposes a hybrid computational framework for fault detection during the coil winding manufacturing process by using a combination of Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model with a Supervised Machine Learning (SML) algorithm. The conventional End of the Line (EoL) tests are insufficient in detecting faults during process resulting in increased manufacturing costs and lead times. The proposed methodology utilises a Knowledge Distillation (KD) approach to address the challenges associated with the technique and optimise the student model's performance by employing architecture search and data augmentation. Multiple SML algorithms were evaluated to determine their effectiveness in predicting faults during manufacturing. The random forest algorithm demonstrated superior performance due to its ability to handle complex data and identify the impact of interdependencies of process parameters on the final product quality. The method was validated by conducting physical experiments on a linear coil-winding machine, and the results indicated that the random forest algorithm has the potential to decrease simulation time from 2 minutes to less than a second. The proposed methodology has the potential to reduce manufacturing time, enhance stator quality, and ultimately improve their reliability and safety.

Soft-growing robots are emerging with numerous potential applications because of their superior capability of frictionless navigation. However, their success is hindered by their tendency to buckle under the tension required to retract them via inversion. In this paper, we propose a simple and scalable tubular backbone to facilitate retracting the robot body without buckling. With this backbone, compressive forces at the robot's tip are mitigated and a limit is placed on the effective length for retraction during the application of tension. We first present the selection of the backbone and the development of such a retractable soft-growing robot. Along with the characterization of the working principles behind this buckling-free mechanism, success was observed with the use of the backbone in retraction tests. The effects of different parameters such as robot body lengths, air pressures, curvatures, and retraction modes on the performance were also investigated. This backbone approach requires no bulky or in-situ mechatronic components inside the robot body and thus may be used in medical applications which appreciate simple, compact, and in-situ electronic-free designs.

Wave excitations cause structural vibrations on the Oscillating Water Columns (OWC) lowering the generated power and reducing the life expectancy. The problem of generator deterioration has been considered for the Mutriku MOWC plant and a machine learning-based approach for prognosis and fault characterization has been proposed. In particular, the use of k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) models for predicting the time to failure of OWC generators has been proposed. The analysis is based on data collected from sensors that measure various operational parameters of the turbines. The results demonstrate that the proposed kNN model is an excellent choice for reducing maintenance costs by enabling scheduling months in advance. The model's high accuracy in predicting generator failures allows for timely and cost-effective maintenance, preventing costly breakdowns and improving turbine efficiency. These results highlight the potential of machine learning-based approaches for addressing maintenance challenges in the energy sector and underscore the importance of proactive strategies in reducing operational costs and maximizing energy production.
