Due to their low-cost and ease of use, cameras are very popular for drone detection. Thanks to the feature reach images obtained from the cameras, it is possible to classify drones with a relatively high success ratio. However, cameras lack the means for accurate localization, allowing only a rough measure of the orientation of the target UAV. In order to better localize the UAV, in this study we fuse camera and lidar measurements, localizing UAVs accurately. This fusion was implemented using a Kalman filter, which enables integration of both sensor data, improving detection and tracking accuracy

This paper proposes a mixed-integer linear programming optimization model used to define an energy management system tailored for nanogrids in buildings, integrating renewable energy sources, battery energy storage systems and task-executing autonomous mobile robots. Focused on a nanogrid to be realised at the Savona Campus of the University of Genoa, the energy management system optimizes power flows and robot task scheduling in order to minimize the operating costs, the curtailment of the photovoltaic source and the number of unperformed tasks. Its novelty lies in combining energy and task planning constraints, offering significant potential for sustainable building energy management.

When an oversized and/or faulty three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor (SCIM) needs to be rewound, there is an opportunity to redesign its stator winding as a function of its actual load cycle, aiming at improving its efficiency, power factor, and reliability. This paper proposes a systematic methodology to optimize the stator winding of in-operation, line-operated, fixed-speed SCIMs, with two goals, namely, (i) optimization of the fundamental component of magnetizing flux to the actual load cycle, reducing the original core saturation level and nominal power of the motor, and (ii) optimization of the pitch and turns of the coils to minimize the winding copper losses and the airgap magnetomotive force harmonic content. Hybrid computing approaches using the first principles and nondeterministic methods can be used for winding optimization. The proposed methodology has been applied to three oversized 5.5 kW, 4-pole SCIMs, driving industrial ceramic paste mixers, and led to a 30-45% reduction in the line current, a 10-25% reduction in the input active power, and a 20-35% increase in the power factor, enabling an upgrade of the efficiency class from "IE0"/IE1 to IE3/IE4. The decrease of the motor line current reduces the Joule losses in the upstream cables and transformers, freeing power transmission capacity in the power supply network. The proposed strategy is a cost-effective alternative to the replacement of old oversized motors with new well-sized motors, avoiding mechanical readaptation of the fixing and coupling systems and allowing for higher efficiency and power factor levels than those of new well-sized motors. It also fosters copper recycling, the electric motor circular economy, and the local economic activity associated with the motor repair/rewinding sector.

The Industry 5.0 Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) goals have the potential for significantly reducing production costs, but require factory workers to trust that robots will not cause them physical harm when sharing the workspace in order to be achieved. To this end, we propose a model that adjusts the robot’s actions to an estimate of the workers’ awareness of its behavior. Its premise is that mutual awareness should be continuous, and if no recent visual contact has been established, then the robot should adapt its range of motion and speed in order to minimize the intersection between the robot’s space and the worker’s space. On the other hand, if the worker steadily establishes visual contact from times to times, the robot operates under a normal or a faster configuration. After a period of habituation, this awareness model can be further tweaked to continuously improve production times, while improving worker’s safety and trust. We present preliminary results of a pilot study with 32 participants, to asses if the existence of this awareness model impacts the outcomes of the combined task. The obtained tepidly optimistic results are the key to build upon in future designs.
