Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue focused on the advances in artificial intelligence applied to comprehensive engineering solutions. These techniques range from machine learning models that enable accurate prediction and decision making to image processing that improves visual analysis and pattern detection.

In an increasingly technologically advanced world, integrating artificial intelligence into engineering has offered prominent results. This has motivated efforts to create comprehensive solutions by optimizing processes and improving the design and functionality of electronics to enhance different systems. From the health applications of engineering, such as biomedical technology, to the efficiency of energy systems, AI has been fundamental to revolutionizing these areas. This is why our SI aims to compile AI advances applied to innovative, technological, and scientific solutions in the engineering field.

The main areas of engineering that our Special Issue focuses on are as follows:

  • Automation;
  • Electronics;
  • Electric power;
  • Sustainability;
  • Biomedical;
  • Mechatronic;
  • Computer systems;
  • Multidisciplinary engineering.

This study harnesses EEG signals to enable the real-time control of servo motors, utilizing the OpenBCI Community Dataset to identify and assess brainwave patterns related to motor imagery tasks. Specifically, the dataset includes EEG data from 52 subjects, capturing electrical brain activity while participants imagined executing specific motor tasks. Each participant underwent multiple trials for each motor imagery task, ensuring a diverse and comprehensive dataset for model training and evaluation. A deep neural network model comprising convolutional and bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) layers was developed and trained using k-fold cross-validation, achieving a notable accuracy of 98%. The model’s performance was further compared against recurrent neural networks (RNNs), multilayer perceptrons (MLPs), and Τransformer algorithms, demonstrating that the CNN-LSTM model provided the best performance due to its effective capture of both spatial and temporal features. The model was deployed on a Python script interfacing with an Arduino board, enabling communication with two servo motors. The Python script predicts actions from preprocessed EEG data to control the servo motors in real-time. Real-time performance metrics, including classification reports and confusion matrices, demonstrate the seamless integration of the LSTM model with the Arduino board for precise and responsive control. An Arduino program was implemented to receive commands from the Python script via serial communication and control the servo motors, enabling accurate and responsive control based on EEG predictions. Overall, this study presents a comprehensive approach that combines machine learning, real-time implementation, and hardware interfacing to enable the precise and real-time control of servo motors using EEG signals, with potential applications in the human–robot interaction and assistive technology domains.
