Robot trajectory tracking has been the core functioning unit in the modern industrial environment wherein the accuracy in the motion control of robotic manipulators is the main area of research. Based on the fact that the working of these automatic robotic machines is highly influenced by the disturbances, this paper constitutes various conventional controllers for the motion control of five bar linkage manipulator. To verify the performance of proposed conventional controllers, these are made to work with two different trajectories. Common disturbances like payload & friction has been incorporated in the five bar linkage manipulator system for validation purpose. Simulation results prove that the performance of SMC based controller is better when compared with other conventional controllers.

Moving Target Detection and Doppler Extraction Using Digital Spread Spectrum Radar
Статья научная
In this paper, we discuss a Spread Spectrum based radar system for car detection in the road and autonomous guidance of vehicles. An autonomous intelligent vehicle has to perform a number of functionalities. Segmentation of the road, determining the boundaries to drive in and recognizing the vehicles and obstacles around are the main tasks for vision guided vehicle navigation. In this article we propose a set of algorithms which lead to the solution of road and vehicle collision using carrier recovery method from car velocity using DSSS RADAR. In such a spread spectrum system, the transmitted signal is spread over a larger bandwidth, which is much wider than the minimum bandwidth required to transmit the information. Automotive radar systems can take advantage of spread spectrum techniques because of their interference rejection, immunity from noise and multipath distortion, and high resolution ranging properties. In addition, there is no need for high-speed, fast-settling frequency synthesizers. Moreover, spread spectrum techniques can improve the reliability of automotive radars. The data from different sensors on different cars can be combined in order to observe the complete car environment. Thus a spread spectrum radar system will allow sharing the same bandwidth also for data link needed by car-to-car communication systems. The algorithm described here is to recover Doppler frequency using 2P power method from which we are able to detect the vehicle condition in road.

The safety information dissemination plays a vital role in the VANET communication. It is a technique of transmitting the information at scheduled intervals or during road hazards by detecting the events using onboard system and interfaces. Information is shared between vehicles and road side units which are further used to predict vehicle collisions, road line crossings, environmental warnings, traffic data and road hazards. Interestingly the risk of lateral collisions and dense traffic for vehicles can be avoided by accomplishing fast data dissemination i.e. warning alerts by event detection. Vehicular technology which supports the safe mode of transportation is growing faster due to the deployment of new automated technology in the intelligent transportation system (ITS). The different scenarios used in vehicular communication are Vehicle to Vehicle (V-V), Vehicle to Infrastructure (V-I) and Vehicle to Internet. Some of the important characteristics of vehicular communications are the mobility, frequent changes in topology, varying transmission power of antennas, intermittent connectivity. ITS providing the solutions for most critical transportation issues and inspiring the researchers for the betterment of road safety. In this paper, we propose a multi agent based safety information dissemination scheme for vehicle to vehicle communication. The proposed algorithm performs the safety information dissemination with help of intelligent agents by optimizing the channel access techniques, message encoding and selection of intermediate nodes. Here the communication between source and destination is achieved with fever number of intermediate links by selecting the nodes in the special zone. Short interval codes which represent safety information are effectively transmitted in the intermittent nature of wireless connectivity. This proposed work describes the details of algorithm with associated network environment, multi agent functions and dissemination mechanism to illustrate the improvement in end to end delay, PDR, energy constraints etc. This method reduces the problem of broadcast storm by delivering the information to intended node. Simulation of the proposed work gives the improved results on PDR, latency and connection overhead.

This study has a novel approach to capture the attitude of Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) consumers towards Packaging Influenced Purchase (PIP) during the Covid-19 crisis. Over the years, BoPs consumers have established themselves as an emerging market with ample growth and opportunities. The authors suggested a Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) based framework to assist marketers in targeting both urban and rural BoP consumers regarding PIP. Packaging elements and influence of family, extended family, peers have been included in the framework for gaining in-depth understanding. With a sample size of 100 from West Bengal, this focus group-based study can fulfil the BoP literature’s existing prominent research gap. Results indicate the difference in attitude for urban and rural BoPs towards PIP during this crisis. The fusion of MCDM based approach and relevant machine learning-based technique aims to assist marketers in identifying, formulating, and redefining an action plan.

Multi Criterion Decision Making using Intuitionistic Fuzzy Rough Set on Two Universal Sets
Статья научная
Convergence of information and communication technology has brought a radical change in the way data are collected or generated for ease of multi criterion decision making. The huge data is of no use unless it provides certain information. It is very tedious to select a best option among an array of alternatives. Also, it becomes more tedious when the data contains uncertainties and objectives of evaluation vary in importance and scope. Unlocking the hidden data is of no use to gain insight into customers, markets and organizations. Therefore, processing these data for obtaining decisions is of great challenge. Based on decision theory, in the past many methods are introduced to solve multi criterion decision making problem. The limitation of these approaches is that, they consider only certain information of the weights and decision values to make decisions. Alternatively, it makes less useful when managing uncertain and vague information. In addition, an information system establishes relation between two universal sets. In such situations, multi criterion decision making is very challenging. Therefore, an effort has been made in this paper to process inconsistencies in data with the introduction of intuitionistic fuzzy rough set theory on two universal sets.

Multi-Objective Memetic Algorithm for FPGA Placement Using Parallel Genetic Annealing
Статья научная
Due to advancement in reconfigurable computing, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) has gained significance due to its low cost and fast prototyping. Parallelism, specialization, and hardware level adaptation, are the key features of reconfigurable computing. FPGA is a programmable chip that can be configured or reconfigured by the designer, to implement any digital circuit. One major challenge in FPGA design is the Placement problem. In this placement phase, the logic functions are assigned to specific cells of the circuit. The quality of the placement of the logic blocks determines the overall performance of the logic implemented in the circuits. The Placement of FPGA is a Multi-Objective Optimization problem that primarily involves minimization of three or more objective functions. In this paper, we propose a novel strategy to solve the FPGA placement problem using Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) and Simulated Annealing technique. Experiments were conducted in Multicore Processors and metrics such as CPU time were measured to test the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. From the experimental results, it is evident that the proposed algorithm reduces the CPU consumption time to an average of 15% as compared to the Genetic Algorithm, 12% as compared to the Simulated Annealing, and approximately 6% as compared to the Genetic Annealing algorithm.

Multi-agent-based Fuzzy Dispatching for Trucks at Container Terminal
Статья научная
At container terminals, containers are transported from the marshalling yard to the quay and vice versa by Container Trucks (CTs). This study discusses how to dispatch CTs by utilizing information about pickup and delivery locations and time in future delivery tasks based on dynamic dispatching strategy in which multiple tasks are matched with multiple CTs. n this paper, Multi-agent system (MAS) is used as the basis for an intelligent dispatch system. To aim at that the characteristic of management of container terminal is how to optimize resource of terminal, the trends of decision-making way for management of container terminal, research and application of Multi-Agent system is summarized. Relationship between transport tasks and service of CTS has been taken as a contract net using the fuzzy set theory and method. Considering the load of communication and consultation efficiency in system, the bidirectional negotiation mechanism is adopted. The dispatching model based on Contract Network Protocol (CNP) using bidirectional negotiation is provided for assigning optimal delivery tasks to CTs and fuzzy reasoning process of dispatching decisions is suggested. The method has both virtues of precision of static planning and flexibility of CNP and has been confirmed by cases.

Multi-character fighting simulation
Статья научная
In the development of and research into multi-character fighting computer games, Non-Player Characters (NPCs) frequently seem less intelligent owing to them having a single focus. As such, multi-character fighting becomes one-on-one fighting; one character will encounter another character only once the previous opponent is defeated. This study develops a new model in multi-character fighting, in which each NPC can simultaneously fight against many characters. Following this model, each character becomes an agent that makes his own decisions. The first advantage of this model is the integration of multi-character behaviors in fights. Each character can seek out enemies/opponents, select one target opponent, avoid obstacles, approach the target opponent, change the target opponent, and then defeat the opponent or be defeated by the opponent; in other words, each character can thus fight against many opponents. All of the behaviors in the fight take place automatically. The second advantage of this model is that each character does not only focus on the opponent being targeted, but also on the other opponents surrounding him. Each character can move from one opponent to another, even when the target opponent is not yet defeated. The third advantage of this model is that each character can move to another fight cluster, thus ensuring that fights seem more dynamic. This research has experimented with the model using a 3D application that can run on personal computers or smart phones.

Multi-objective Optimization of Subsonic Glider Wing Using Genetic Algorithm
Статья научная
The widespread adoption of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can be traced to its flexibility and wide adaptability to various operating conditions and applications, comparably low cost of construction and maintenance and environmental friendliness as they can be easily configured for electric power. The use of electric power also favours its low noise applications such as surveillance. A major issue associated with surveillance, as addressed in this study is the compromise between Range and Endurance operation modes. The Range mode relates to being able to cover longer distances while the Endurance mode relates to spending longer times in the atmosphere for a fixed charge. Trying to balance the interplay of these parameters gave rise to a multi-objective optimization where the objectives are somewhat conflicting. This resulted in a set of Pareto solutions which are a set of design parameters (primarily angle of attack) that satisfy the joint requirements of the performance parameters of Range and Endurance. This study first considered a baseline aerodynamic design using traditional design methods. Design of Experiment techniques were then used to select the most favourable design points. This model was then used to build an input framework for Genetic Optimization algorithm deployed in the Global Optimization Toolbox of MATLAB. The result of this research shows that most of the region associated with medium angle of attack (AOA) setting (7 degrees) jointly satisfies good Range and Endurance performances with an average lift-to-drag ratio of 20 in the flight configuration considered. The implication of this result is that low velocity drag encountered in surveillance that requires a high AOA is largely reduced with the medium setting, albeit stabilized with other structural and aerodynamic settings, namely an aspect ratio of 13 and a taper ratio of 0.6.

Multi-objective Structural Optimization Using Fuzzy and Intuitionistic Fuzzy Optimization Technique
Статья научная
In this paper, we develop an intuitionistic fuzzy optimization (IFO) approach for optimizing the design of plane truss structure with multiple objectives subject to a specified set of constraints. In this optimum design formulation, the objective functions are the weight of the truss and the deflection of loaded joint; the design variables are the cross-sections of the truss members; the constraints are the stresses in members. A classical truss optimization example is presented here in to demonstrate the efficiency of the Intuitionistic fuzzy optimization approach. The test problem includes a three-bar planar truss subjected to a single load condition. This multi-objective structural optimization model is solved by fuzzy optimization approach as well as intuitionistic fuzzy optimization approach. Numerical example is given to illustrate our approach. The result shows that the IFO approach is very efficient in finding the best discovered optimal solutions.

Swarm intelligence algorithms are designed to mimic the natural behaviors of living organisms. The birds, animals and insects exhibit extraordinary problem solving behaviors and intelligence when living in colonies or groups. These unique behaviors form the basis for the design of the Metaheuristic which are helpful in solving several real-life combinatorial optimization problems. Monkey algorithm is developed based on the unique behaviors of monkeys such as mountain and tree climbing, jumping, watching and somersaulting.

Computational Intelligence (CI) is an as of emerging area in addressing complex real world problems. The WOA has taken its root from the collective intelligent foraging behavior of humpback whales (Megaptera Novaeangliae). The standard WOA is suffers from the selection of best agent while whales searching and encircling prey. This research paper deals with the multi-swarm cooperative strategies for finding the best agents which balances the two phase’s exploration and exploitation. The performance of invoked Multi-Swarm cooperative strategies into standard WOA i.e, MsWOA is first benchmarked on a set of 23 standard mathematical benchmark function problems which includes 7 Uni-Modal, 6 Multi-modal and 10 fixed dimension multi-modal functions. The obtained graphical and statistical results have been portrayed along with the previously established techniques. The obtained results depicts that the proposed cooperative strategies for WOA outperforms in solving optimization problems of standard benchmark functions. This paper also studies the numerical efficiency of proposed techniques on the problem of data clustering where 10 real data clustering problems have been taken from data repository https://archive.ics.uci.edu.data. Statistical results for the obtained cluster centroids, intra-cluster distances and inter-cluster distances confirms that the cooperative strategies for best whale agent selection improves the performance WOA for function optimization problems as well as data clustering problems.

Multilevel Thresholding for Image Segmentation using the Galaxy-based Search Algorithm
Статья научная
In this paper, image segmentation of gray-level images is performed by multilevel thresholding. The optimal thresholds for this purpose are found by maximizing the between-class variance (the Otsu’s criterion). The optimization (maximization) is conducted by a novel nature-inspired search algorithm, which is called Galaxy-based Search Algorithm or GbSA. The proposed GbSA is a metaheuristic for continuous optimization. It resembles the spiral arms of some galaxies to search for the optimal thresholds. The GbSA also uses a modified Hill Climbing algorithm as a local search. The GbSA also utilizes chaos for improving its performance, which is implemented by the logistic map. Experimental results show that the GbSA finds the optimal or very near optimal thresholds in all runs of the algorithm.

Multiobjective Multipath Adaptive Tabu Search for Optimal PID Controller Design
Статья научная
The multipath adaptive tabu search (MATS) has been proposed as one of the most powerful metaheuristic optimization search techniques for solving the combinatorial and continuous optimization problems. The MATS employing the adaptive tabu search (ATS) as the search core has been proved and applied to various real-world engineering problems in single objective optimization manner. However, many design problems in engineering are typically multiobjective under complex nonlinear constraints. In this paper, the multiobjective multipath adaptive tabu search (mMATS) is proposed. The mMATS is validated against a set of multiobjective test functions, and then applied to design an optimal PID controller of the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) system. As results, the mMATS can provide very satisfactory solutions for all test functions as well as the control application.

The purpose of Biomedical Natural Language Processing (BioNLP) is to capture biomedical phenomena from textual data by extracting relevant entities, information and relations between biomedical entities (i.e. proteins and genes). In general, in most of the published papers, only binary relations were extracted. In a recent past, the focus is shifted towards extracting more complex relations in the form of bio-molecular events that may include several entities or other relations. In this paper we propose an approach that enables event trigger extraction of relatively complex bio-molecular events. We approach this problem as a detection of bio-molecular event trigger using the well-known algorithm, namely Conditional Random Field (CRF). We apply our experiments on development set. It shows the overall average recall, precision and F-measure values of 64.27504%, 69.97559% and 67.00429%, respectively for the event detection.

When we acquiring the Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal from the person, the signal amplitude (PQRST) and timing values are changes due to various artefacts. The different artefacts are Baseline wander, power line interference, muscle artefact, motion artefact and the channel noise also added sometimes during the transmission of the signal for diagnosis purpose. The adaptive filters play vital role for reduction of noise in the desired signals. In this paper we proposed, block based error normalized Recursive Least Square (RLS) adaptive algorithm and sign based RLS adaptive algorithm, which are used for reduction of muscle artifact noise and base line wander noise in the ECG signal. From the simulation result we analyzed that, comparing to Least Mean Square algorithm, the proposed RLS algorithm gives fast convergence rate with high signal to noise ratio and less mean square error.

Nanotechnology Method Comparison for Early Detection of Cancer
Статья научная
Since 1999, cancer has been the leading cause of death under the age of 85 years and the eradication of this disease has been the long sought-after goal of scientists and physicians. Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably. These abnormal cells have the ability to invade and destroy normal body cells, which is life threatening. One of the most important factors in effective cancer treatment is the detection of cancerous tumour cells in an early stage. Nanotechnology brings new hope to the arena of cancer detection research, owing to nanoparticles’ unique physical and chemical properties, giving them the potential to be used in the detection and monitoring of cancer. One such approach is quantum dots based detection which is rapid, easy and economical enabling quick point-of-care screening of cancer markers. QDs have got unique properties which make them ideal for detecting tumours. On the other hand, Gold nanoparticles have been in the bio-imaging spotlight due to their special optical properties. Au-NPs with strong surface-plasmon-enhanced absorption and scattering have allowed them to emerge as powerful imaging labels and contrast agents. This paper includes the comparative study of both the methods. Compared with quantum dots, the gold-nanoparticles are more than 200 times brighter on a particle-to-particle basis, although they are about 60 times larger by volume. Thus, Gold nanoparticles in suspension, offers advantages compared with quantum dots in that the gold appears to be non-toxic and the particles produce a brighter, sharper signal.

The increasing trends in intelligent control systems design has provide means for engineers to evolve robust and flexible means of adapting them to diverse applications. This tendency would reduce the challenges and complexity in bringing about the appropriate controllers to effect stability and efficient operations of industrial systems. This paper investigates the effect of two nature inspired algorithms, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), on PID controller for optimum tuning of a Fuzzy Logic Controller for Poultry Feed Dispensing Systems (PFDS). The Fuzzy Logic Controller was used to obtain a desired control speed for the conceptualized intelligent PFDS model. Both GA and PSO were compared to investigate which of the two algorithms could permit dynamic PFDS model to minimize feed wastage and reduce the alarming human involvement in dispensing poultry feeds majorly in the tropics. The modelling and simulation results obtained from the study using discrete event simulator and computational programming environment showed that PSO gave a much desired results for the optimally tuned FLC-PID, for stable intelligent PFDS with fast system response, rise time, and settling time compared to GA.
