Robotic Arm Vision Systems: Advances and Applications in Manufacturing Automation
Abstract: Robotics might be defined more practically as the study, development, and use of robot systems for industry. The first industrial robot was made by George Charles Devol, who is commonly regarded to as the father of robotics. Their absolute precision can range from several mms (±5–10 mm, ±0.5–1.8 mm) due to mechanical tolerances, elasticities, temperature, and other factors. Historically, their position can be altered frequently with a modest repeatability error …

Machine Learning Based Smart Aquaponics Farming System
Abstract: For many years, researchers have been studying nutrient management in aquaponic systems. Most have concentrated on adequate nutrition control in an aquaponic setup, but there has been relatively little study on commercial scale applications. For plant growth, it is necessary to measure the level of nutrients present in the soil mixture. In our model, the input data was sourced on some interval of time basis from three commercial aquaponic farms. …

Improving Highway Surface Course Properties of Asphalt Concrete for Heavy Traffic Loading using Mineral Fillers
Abstract: Failure signs seen on both rigid and flexible pavement as distresses is most often instigated by mix properties of the surface due to many factors. Traffic loading, Stripping or raveling is another possible cause of such effects. Stripping occurs when poor adhesion between asphalt cement and aggregate allows the aggregate at the surface to dislodge. As a result, mineral fillers in hot-mix asphalt concrete to obtain certain desirable properties has …
