In Japan, natural disasters occur frequently. Serious disasters may cause damage to traffic networks and telecommunication infrastructures, leading to the occurrence of isolated disaster areas. In this article, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are use...

In recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been employed across various domains, including military services, healthcare, disaster response, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure. Due to the absence of fixed communication infrast...

This study proposes an effective method for identifying human movement direction in indoor environments by leveraging a low-resolution time-of-flight (ToF) sensor and a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network model. While previous studies have e...

Resonators are passive components that respond to an excitation signal by oscillating at their natural frequency with an exponentially decreasing amplitude. When combined with antennas, resonators enable purely passive chipless sensors that can be re...

Indoor farming presents a sustainable response to urbanization and climate change, yet optimizing light use efficiency (LUE) remains vital for maximizing crop yield and minimizing energy use. This study introduces an IoT-based framework for adaptive...

Defects formed during the thermite welding process of two sections of rails require the welded joints to be inspected for quality, and the most used non-destructive method for inspection is radiography testing. However, the conventional defect invest...

Recently, Internet of Drones (IoD) applications have grown in various fields, including the military, healthcare, smart agriculture, and traffic monitoring. Drones are equipped with computation resources, communication units, and embedded systems tha...

Thanks to light detection and ranging (LiDAR), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) are able to detect different objects in their environment and measure the distance between them. This device gives the ability to see its surroundings in real time. Howeve...

This article proposes and validates a novel methodology for automated simulation model generation of production systems based on monitoring sensors and actuator states controlled by Programmable Logic Controllers during regular operations. Although c...

In this study, we introduce a novel Electrowetting-on-Dielectric (EWOD) sensor designed to quantify marine dispersants at the spill point. The sensor quantifies changes in the surface tension of liquid droplets at varying dispersant concentrations th...

This study introduces a novel dual-battery architecture with intelligent auto-switching control, designed to ensure uninterrupted operation of agricultural sensing systems in environments with unpredictable energy availability. The proposed system in...

Efficient vehicle driving generally intends to reduce fuel consumption, emissions of harmful substances, and accident rates based on energy-efficient driving patterns as a set of parameters defining optimal vehicle and route characteristics, together...

In mobile multi-agent systems (MASs), achieving effective leader–follower coordination under unknown dynamics poses significant challenges. This study proposes a two-stage cooperative strategy that integrates Gaussian Processes (GPs) for modeli...

Metal oxide semiconductor (MOX) sensors are emerging as a groundbreaking technology due to their remarkable features: high sensitivity, rapid response time, low cost, and potential for miniaturization. Their ability to detect volatile organic compoun...

Mental health is an important aspect of an individual’s overall well-being. Positive mental health is correlated with enhanced cognitive function, emotional regulation, and motivation, which, in turn, foster increased productivity and personal...

This paper explores the design, control, construction, and leading manufacturers of upper limb rehabilitation robots through a thorough literature review. Utilizing databases such as Scopus, IEEE Xplore, Science Direct, Springer Link, and the Clinica...

The efficient migration of virtual machines (VMs) is critical for optimizing resource management, ensuring service continuity, and enhancing resiliency in cloud and edge computing environments, particularly as 6G networks demand higher reliability an...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming how organisations and individuals connect and interact with digital ecosystems, especially in sectors like healthcare and banking. While technological benefits have been widely discussed, the societal and...
