Development of depth map from stereo images using sum of absolute differences...nooriasukmaningtyas
This article proposes a framework for the depth map reconstruction using stereo images. Fundamentally, this map provides an important information which commonly used in essential applications such as autonomous vehicle navigation, drone’s navigation and 3D surface reconstruction. To develop an accurate depth map, the framework must be robust against the challenging regions of low texture, plain color and repetitive pattern on the input stereo image. The development of this map requires several stages which starts with matching cost calculation, cost aggregation, optimization and refinement stage. Hence, this work develops a framework with sum of absolute difference (SAD) and the combination of two edge preserving filters to increase the robustness against the challenging regions. The SAD convolves using block matching technique to increase the efficiency of matching process on the low texture and plain color regions. Moreover, two edge preserving filters will increase the accuracy on the repetitive pattern region. The results show that the proposed method is accurate and capable to work with the challenging regions. The results are provided by the Middlebury standard dataset. The framework is also efficiently and can be applied on the 3D surface reconstruction. Moreover, this work is greatly competitive with previously available methods.

Development of depth map from stereo images using sum of absolute differences...nooriasukmaningtyas
This article proposes a framework for the depth map reconstruction using stereo images. Fundamentally, this map provides an important information which commonly used in essential applications such as autonomous vehicle navigation, drone’s navigation and 3D surface reconstruction. To develop an accurate depth map, the framework must be robust against the challenging regions of low texture, plain color and repetitive pattern on the input stereo image. The development of this map requires several stages which starts with matching cost calculation, cost aggregation, optimization and refinement stage. Hence, this work develops a framework with sum of absolute difference (SAD) and the combination of two edge preserving filters to increase the robustness against the challenging regions. The SAD convolves using block matching technique to increase the efficiency of matching process on the low texture and plain color regions. Moreover, two edge preserving filters will increase the accuracy on the repetitive pattern region. The results show that the proposed method is accurate and capable to work with the challenging regions. The results are provided by the Middlebury standard dataset. The framework is also efficiently and can be applied on the 3D surface reconstruction. Moreover, this work is greatly competitive with previously available methods.
Model predictive controller for a retrofitted heat exchanger temperature cont...nooriasukmaningtyas
This paper aims to demonstrate the practical aspects of process control theory for undergraduate students at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Bahrain. Both, the ubiquitous proportional integral derivative (PID) as well as model predictive control (MPC) and their auxiliaries were designed and implemented in a real-time framework. The latter was realized through retrofitting an existing plate-and-frame heat exchanger unit that has been operated using an analog PID temperature controller. The upgraded control system consists of a personal computer (PC), low-cost signal conditioning circuit, national instruments USB 6008 data acquisition card, and LabVIEW software. LabVIEW control design and simulation modules were used to design and implement the PID and MPC controllers. The performance of the designed controllers was evaluated while controlling the outlet temperature of the retrofitted plate-and-frame heat exchanger. The distinguished feature of the MPC controller in handling input and output constraints was perceived in real-time. From a pedagogical point of view, realizing the theory of process control through practical implementation was substantial in enhancing the student’s learning and the instructor’s teaching experience.
Control of a servo-hydraulic system utilizing an extended wavelet functional ...nooriasukmaningtyas
Servo-hydraulic systems have been extensively employed in various industrial applications. However, these systems are characterized by their highly complex and nonlinear dynamics, which complicates the control design stage of such systems. In this paper, an extended wavelet functional link neural network (EWFLNN) is proposed to control the displacement response of the servo-hydraulic system. To optimize the controller's parameters, a recently developed optimization technique, which is called the modified sine cosine algorithm (M-SCA), is exploited as the training method. The proposed controller has achieved remarkable results in terms of tracking two different displacement signals and handling external disturbances. From a comparative study, the proposed EWFLNN controller has attained the best control precision compared with those of other controllers, namely, a proportional-integralderivative (PID) controller, an artificial neural network (ANN) controller, a wavelet neural network (WNN) controller, and the original wavelet functional link neural network (WFLNN) controller. Moreover, compared to the genetic algorithm (GA) and the original sine cosine algorithm (SCA), the M-SCA has shown better optimization results in finding the optimal values of the controller's parameters.
Decentralised optimal deployment of mobile underwater sensors for covering la...nooriasukmaningtyas
This paper presents the problem of sensing coverage of layers of the ocean in three dimensional underwater environments. We propose distributed control laws to drive mobile underwater sensors to optimally cover a given confined layer of the ocean. By applying this algorithm at first the mobile underwater sensors adjust their depth to the specified depth. Then, they make a triangular grid across a given area. Afterwards, they randomly move to spread across the given grid. These control laws only rely on local information also they are easily implemented and computationally effective as they use some easy consensus rules. The feature of exchanging information just among neighbouring mobile sensors keeps the information exchange minimum in the whole networks and makes this algorithm practicable option for undersea. The efficiency of the presented control laws is confirmed via mathematical proof and numerical simulations.
Evaluation quality of service for internet of things based on fuzzy logic: a ...nooriasukmaningtyas
The development of the internet of thing (IoT) technology has become a major concern in sustainability of quality of service (SQoS) in terms of efficiency, measurement, and evaluation of services, such as our smart home case study. Based on several ambiguous linguistic and standard criteria, this article deals with quality of service (QoS). We used fuzzy logic to select the most appropriate and efficient services. For this reason, we have introduced a new paradigmatic approach to assess QoS. In this regard, to measure SQoS, linguistic terms were collected for identification of ambiguous criteria. This paper collects the results of other work to compare the traditional assessment methods and techniques in IoT. It has been proven that the comparison that traditional valuation methods and techniques could not effectively deal with these metrics. Therefore, fuzzy logic is a worthy method to provide a good measure of QoS with ambiguous linguistic and criteria. The proposed model addresses with constantly being improved, all the main axes of the QoS for a smart home. The results obtained also indicate that the model with its fuzzy performance importance index (FPII) has efficiently evaluate the multiple services of SQoS.
Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
Smart monitoring system using NodeMCU for maintenance of production machinesnooriasukmaningtyas
Maintenance is an activity that helps to reduce risk, increase productivity, improve quality, and minimize production costs. The necessity for maintenance actions will increase efficiency and enhance the safety and quality of products and processes. On getting these conditions, it is necessary to implement a monitoring system used to observe machines' conditions from time to time, especially the machine parts that often experience problems. This paper presents a low-cost intelligent monitoring system using NodeMCU to continuously monitor machine conditions and provide warnings in the case of machine failure. Not only does it provide alerts, but this monitoring system also generates historical data on machine conditions to the Google Cloud (Google Sheet), includes which machines were down, downtime, issues occurred, repairs made, and technician handling. The results obtained are machine operators do not need to lose a relatively long time to call the technician. Likewise, the technicians assisted in carrying out machine maintenance activities and online reports so that errors that often occur due to human error do not happen again. The system succeeded in reducing the technician-calling time and maintenance workreporting time up to 50%. The availability of online and real-time maintenance historical data will support further maintenance strategy.

Using sustainable energy is the future of our planet earth, this became not only economically efficient but also a necessity for the preservation of life on earth. Because of such necessity, smart grids became a very important issue to be researched. Many literatures discussed this topic and with the development of internet of things (IoT) and smart sensors, smart grids are developed even further. On the other hand, software defined networking is a technology that separates the control plane from the data plan of the network. It centralizes the management and the orchestration of the network tasks by using a network controller. The network controller is the heart of the SDN-enabled network, and it can control other networking devices using software defined networking (SDN) protocols such as OpenFlow. A smart switching mechanism called (SDN-smgrid-sw) for the smart grid will be modeled and controlled using SDN. We modeled the environment that interact with the sensors, for the sun and the wind elements. The Algorithm is modeled and programmed for smart efficient power sharing that is managed centrally and monitored using SDN controller. Also, all if the smart grid elements (power sources) are connected to the IP network using IoT protocols.

In this study, the researchers have proposed an alternative technique for designing an asymmetric 4 coil-resonance coupling module based on the series-to-parallel topology at 27 MHz industrial scientific medical (ISM) band to avoid the tissue damage, for the constant monitoring of the in-stent restenosis coronary artery. This design consisted of 2 components, i.e., the external part that included 3 planar coils that were placed outside the body and an internal helical coil (stent) that was implanted into the coronary artery in the human tissue. This technique considered the output power and the transfer efficiency of the overall system, coil geometry like the number of coils per turn, and coil size. The results indicated that this design showed an 82% efficiency in the air if the transmission distance was maintained as 20 mm, which allowed the wireless power supply system to monitor the pressure within the coronary artery when the implanted load resistance was 400 Ω.
Grid reactive voltage regulation and cost optimization for electric vehicle p...nooriasukmaningtyas
Expecting large electric vehicle (EV) usage in the future due to environmental issues, state subsidies, and incentives, the impact of EV charging on the power grid is required to be closely analyzed and studied for power quality, stability, and planning of infrastructure. When a large number of energy storage batteries are connected to the grid as a capacitive load the power factor of the power grid is inevitably reduced, causing power losses and voltage instability. In this work large-scale 18K EV charging model is implemented on IEEE 33 network. Optimization methods are described to search for the location of nodes that are affected most due to EV charging in terms of power losses and voltage instability of the network. Followed by optimized reactive power injection magnitude and time duration of reactive power at the identified nodes. It is shown that power losses are reduced and voltage stability is improved in the grid, which also complements the reduction in EV charging cost. The result will be useful for EV charging stations infrastructure planning, grid stabilization, and reducing EV charging costs.

Energy extraction takes place using several different technologies, depending on the type of energy and how it is used. The objective of this paper is to study topology influence for a smart network based on piezoelectric materials using the double synchronized switch harvesting (DSSH). In this work, has been presented network topology for circuit DSSH (DSSH Standard, Independent DSSH, DSSH in parallel, mono DSSH, and DSSH in series). Using simulation-based on a structure with embedded piezoelectric system harvesters, then compare different topology of circuit DSSH for knowledge is how to connect the circuit DSSH together and how to implement accurately this circuit strategy for maximizing the total output power.

In this article, an improvement to the positive output super-lift Luo converter (POSLC) has been proposed to get high gain at a low duty cycle. Also, reduce the stress on the switch and diodes, reduce the current through the inductors to reduce loss, and increase efficiency. Using a hybrid switch unit composed of four inductors and two capacitors it is replaced by the main inductor in the elementary circuit. It’s charged in parallel with the same input voltage and discharged in series. The output voltage is increased according to the number of components. The gain equation is modeled. The boundary condition between continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) has been derived. Passive components are designed to get high output voltage (8 times at D=0.5) and low ripple about (0.004). The circuit is simulated and analyzed using MATLAB/Simulink. Maximum power point tracker (MPPT) controls the converter to provide the most interest from solar energy.
Third harmonic current minimization using third harmonic blocking transformernooriasukmaningtyas
Zero sequence blocking transformers (ZSBTs) are used to suppress third harmonic currents in 3-phase systems. Three-phase systems where singlephase loading is present, there is every chance that the load is not balanced. If there is zero-sequence current due to unequal load current, then the ZSBT will impose high impedance and the supply voltage at the load end will be varied which is not desired. This paper presents Third harmonic blocking transformer (THBT) which suppresses only higher harmonic zero sequences. The constructional features using all windings in single-core and construction using three single-phase transformers explained. The paper discusses the constructional features, full details of circuit usage, design considerations, and simulation results for different supply and load conditions. A comparison of THBT with ZSBT is made with simulation results by considering four different cases

With an increase of non-linear load in today’s electrical power systems, the rate of power quality drops and the voltage source and frequency deteriorate if not properly compensated with an appropriate device. Filters are most common techniques that employed to overcome this problem and improving power quality. In this paper an improved optimization technique of filter applies to the power system is based on a particle swarm optimization with using artificial neural network technique applied to the unified power flow quality conditioner (PSO-ANN UPQC). Design particle swarm optimization and artificial neural network together result in a very high performance of flexible AC transmission lines (FACTs) controller and it implements to the system to compensate all types of power quality disturbances. This technique is very powerful for minimization of total harmonic distortion of source voltages and currents as a limit permitted by IEEE-519. The work creates a power system model in MATLAB/Simulink program to investigate our proposed optimization technique for improving control circuit of filters. The work also has measured all power quality disturbances of the electrical arc furnace of steel factory and suggests this technique of filter to improve the power quality.

Maintaining network synchronization is important to customer service. Low fluctuations cause voltage instability, non-synchronization in the power system or the problems in the electrical system disturbances, harmonics current and voltages inflation and contraction voltage. Proper tunning of the parameters of stabilizer is prime for validation of stabilizer. To overcome instability issues and get reinforcement found a lot of the techniques are developed to overcome instability problems and improve performance of power system. Genetic algorithm was applied to optimize parameters and suppress oscillation. The simulation of the robust composite capacitance system of an infinite single-machine bus was studied using MATLAB was used for optimization purpose.

The effectiveness improvement has been shown in the system
Renewable energy based dynamic tariff system for domestic load managementnooriasukmaningtyas
To deal with the present power-scenario, this paper proposes a model of an advanced energy management system, which tries to achieve peak clipping, peak to average ratio reduction and cost reduction based on effective utilization of distributed generations. This helps to manage conventional loads based on flexible tariff system. The main contribution of this work is the development of three-part dynamic tariff system on the basis of time of utilizing power, available renewable energy sources (RES) and consumers’ load profile. This incorporates consumers’ choice to suitably select for either consuming power from conventional energy sources and/or renewable energy sources during peak or off-peak hours. To validate the efficiency of the proposed model we have comparatively evaluated the model performance with existing optimization techniques using genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. A new optimization technique, hybrid greedy particle swarm optimization has been proposed which is based on the two aforementioned techniques. It is found that the proposed model is superior with the improved tariff scheme when subjected to load management and consumers’ financial benefit. This work leads to maintain a healthy relationship between the utility sectors and the consumers, thereby making the existing grid more reliable, robust, flexible yet cost effective.

The purpose of distributed generation systems (DGS) is to enhance the distribution system (DS) performance to be better known with its benefits in the power sector as installing distributed generation (DG) units into the DS can introduce economic, environmental and technical benefits. Those benefits can be obtained if the DG units' site and size is properly determined. The aim of this paper is studying and reviewing the effect of connecting DG units in the DS on transmission efficiency, reactive power loss and voltage deviation in addition to the economical point of view and considering the interest and inflation rate. Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is introduced to find the best solution to the distributed generation penetration problem in the DS. The result of WOA is compared with the genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and grey wolf optimizer (GWO). The proposed solutions methodologies have been tested using MATLAB software on IEEE 33 standard bus system
Intelligent fault diagnosis for power distribution systemcomparative studiesnooriasukmaningtyas
Short circuit is one of the most popular types of permanent fault in power distribution system. Thus, fast and accuracy diagnosis of short circuit failure is very important so that the power system works more effectively. In this paper, a newly enhanced support vector machine (SVM) classifier has been investigated to identify ten short-circuit fault types, including single line-toground faults (XG, YG, ZG), line-to-line faults (XY, XZ, YZ), double lineto-ground faults (XYG, XZG, YZG) and three-line faults (XYZ). The performance of this enhanced SVM model has been improved by using three different versions of particle swarm optimization (PSO), namely: classical PSO (C-PSO), time varying acceleration coefficients PSO (T-PSO) and constriction factor PSO (K-PSO). Further, utilizing pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS)-based time domain reflectometry (TDR) method allows to obtain a reliable dataset for SVM classifier. The experimental results performed on a two-branch distribution line show the most optimal variant of PSO for short fault diagnosis.

More than eighty-five to ninety percentage of the diabetic patients are affected with diabetic retinopathy (DR) which is an eye disorder that leads to blindness. The computational techniques can support to detect the DR by using the retinal images. However, it is hard to measure the DR with the raw retinal image. This paper proposes an effective method for identification of DR from the retinal images. In this research work, initially the Weiner filter is used for preprocessing the raw retinal image. Then the preprocessed image is segmented using fuzzy c-mean technique. Then from the segmented image, the features are extracted using grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). After extracting the fundus image, the feature selection is performed stochastic gradient descent, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) for accurate identification during the classification process. Then the inception v3-convolutional neural network (IV3-CNN) model is used in the classification process to classify the image as DR image or non-DR image. By applying the proposed method, the classification performance of IV3-CNN model in identifying DR is studied. Using the proposed method, the DR is identified with the accuracy of about 95%, and the processed retinal image is identified as mild DR.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Accepted Nov 30, 2021
In today's competitive world, robot designs are developed to simplify and
improve quality wherever necessary. The rise in technology and
modernization has led people from the unskilled sector to shift to the skilled
sector. The agricultural sector's solution for harvesting fruits and vegetables
is manual labor and a few other agro bots that are expensive and have
various limitations when it comes to harvesting. Although robots present
may achieve harvesting, the affordability of such designs may not be
possible by small and medium-scale producers. The integrated robot system
is designed to solve this problem, and when compared with the existing
manual methods, this seems to be the most cost-effective, efficient, and
viable solution. The robot uses deep learning for image detection, and the
object is acquired using robotic manipulators. The robot uses a Cartesian and
articulated configuration to perform the picking action. In the end, the robot
is operated where carrots and cantaloupes were harvested. The data of the
harvested crops are used to arrive at the conclusion of the robot's accuracy.

1. INTRODUCTION
The diverse climate and soil of India ensure the obtainability of all different types of fresh fruits and
vegetables. India ranks in the production of fruits and vegetables second behind China. During 2015-2016 the
National Horticulture database issued that India produced 169.1 million metric tonnes of vegetables and 90.2
million metric tonnes of fruits. The fruits were cultivated at 6.3 million hectares, while the cultivation of
fruits stood at 10.1 million hectares. When it comes to ginger and okra, India is the largest producer of
vegetables and ranks second in the production of potatoes, brinjal, cabbage, cauliflowers, onions, and other
vegetables. In fruits, India ranks first in the production of bananas (25.7%), mangoes (40.4%), and papayas
(43.6%). Export has tremendous opportunities when it comes to the production of fruits and vegetables [1].
During 2019-20, India exported fruits and vegetables which is worth Rs.9,182.88 crores/1,277.38 USD
Millions which consisted of and vegetables worth Rs.4,350.13 crores/608.48 USD Millions and fruits worth
Rs.4,832.81 crores/668.75 USD Millions. Bangladesh, Oman, Qatar, Nepal, Malaysia, UAE, Netherland, the
UK, and Sri Lanka, are the major areas where Indian fruits and vegetables are exported. The production rate
of horticulture is increasing at an exponential rate. The input cost and land used are less in horticulture, and
this factor is of great benefit. The fruits and vegetables provide a high nutritional value, and usage is higher
among the urban population than rural population. The process involved in horticulture, such as harvesting, is
a slow, unskilled, tedious, and repetitive job that can be automated. If this process is automated, farmers can
work on improving their production yields which will further help the entire society.

2. RESEARCH METHOD
2.1. Literature review
Robotics in agriculture was first developed in the 1920s. The first step towards agricultural robotics
was the mechanical harvesters. These use a simple and onerous mechanism to gather the harvest. The first
mechanical harvest was used to gather tomatoes, which was patented in 1960. Further on, various harvesting
systems came into play that has revolutionized this world. In terms of ground-level harvesting, the SW 6010
is the first autonomous robot which is available that can collect strawberries. The other system is called soft
harvesting, where delicate suction cups are used to collect the fruits such as pineapples, apples [2], [3]. These
robotic arms can also be combined hand to hand to provide better accuracy while gathering. MetoMotion's
robotic system is described as 'a multipurpose robotic intensive system for labor-intensive tasks in
greenhouses which is to harvest tomatoes [4]. Vinken built is a robot that can see underground. It emits an
electric signal which identifies the vegetables [5]. A tomato harvesting system in the form of a mobile robot
is capable of harvesting with manual navigation [6]. Various systems exist that harvest strawberries on a
semi-automation basis and chili pepper harvesting using the robotic arm [7]-[9]. All these systems are some
of the ideas that are present in the market.
The solutions in the market are extravagantly expensive and cannot be afforded by small-medium
scale farmers. The labor assigned to take care of the farm must be skilled highly. The consumption of
electricity increases as the robots run through electricity. The present harvesting robot requires manual
control, but that is not a viable option as the task is to automate the harvesting task. If any technical error
occurs, the entire harvesting comes to a halt until the system is fixed. This creates a delayed harvest. A
completely automated farm is not a practical possibility as of now.
2.2. Proposed solution
The current solutions in the market either involve a mobile harvesting system or robotic arm
harvesting, not a combination of both. No model has been executed with the concept of a Cartesian and an
articulated robot. The design developed aims to make this system affordable at all levels of farming, and this
can be operated at great ease [10]. No manual intervention is necessary for this system as this harvesting
robot scans the entire area and yields the output. The accuracy of the yield is of the standard level. The
products that can be harvested by this robot design includes cantaloupe, carrot, radish, saffron, pineapple,
chili paprika, and all underground vegetable. The first step, as shown in Figure 1, involves the user starting
the process through the display unit. As soon as the command is given, it sends the instruction to the cloud
server, which communicates to the robot station to begin the process [11]. The robots then, from the docked
station, travels to the initial point in the farm to start the harvesting. Once the harvesting is completed, the
collected harvest is then delivered to the packing station by the robot. Then the robot travels to the charging
point near the robot station and goes to the initial position, and awaits further instruction. A detailed outline
of the system is shown in Figure 2.

2.3. Vision system
The vision system software for the detection of the fruits and vegetables for harvesting uses the
YOLO-V3 (you only look once) object detection technique to identify and acquire the location of the fruits.
YOLO-V3 uses a Darknet-53 feature extractor which has 53 convolutional neural network layers and skips

connections inspired by ResNet [12]. It also has a feature pyramid network that allows the YOLO-V3 to learn
and detect objects of different sizes. The output of the feature pyramid network is known as a grid, and it has
three scales of grids. In each of these grids, three anchor boxes with the same centroid of different sizes are
placed on them. These anchor boxes predict the class id and the location of the object. Thus, the bounding boxes
are applied to the image [13]. The YOLO-V3 object detection was chosen among many techniques from Figure
3, which is plotted between common objects in context (COCO) average precision and inference time. It is clear
that the YOLO-V3 has the average precision and speed when compared with other methods [14]. The
main advantage of using a convolution neural network is that it can even detect a crop if it is covered with
leaves [15], [16].
The YOLO-V3 network was trained using Google Colab [17], as it has a powerful graphics
processing unit and more compute unified device architecture (CUDA) cores to reduce the overall training
time [18]. It took around 5 to 6 hours for 2,000 iterations using 1,000 images of the required crop, which is to
be detected 19], [20]. The iterations were performed for carrots and cantaloupe. The camera is 5-megapixel
and is equipped with infrared lights. This is useful for the operation of the robot even during night time which
leads to greater efficiency in the output. The graph plotted between loss and the no of iterations. After 2,000
iterations, the loss came down almost near to zero. The basic principle is that more loss leads to less detection
and less loss leads to an accurate detection.
Figure 2. Outline of the system Figure 3. Performance comparison graph
2.4. Cartesian axis movement
After locating the crop, the open source computer vision library (OpenCV) software sends the
Cartesian coordinates to the universal G Code sender software. Now, this software converts these coordinates
into G Codes. Then it is sent to the ATmega microcontroller through serial data transfer. The microcontroller
acquires these G Codes and converts them to pulses for driving the stepper motor and to move the Cartesian
robot to the specified location. After this process, the articulated robotic arm which is attached to the
Cartesian robot harvests the crop.
2.5. Navigation
The localization of the robot is done through global positioning system (GPS) and navigation
through waypoints. As it is an outdoor application, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) won't be suitable for
this robot [21]. In this case, the QGroundControl software is for creating waypoints and navigating the
automated guided vehicle. The concept of precision farming is used to improve accuracy [22], [23]. First, the
boundaries of the farm are marked through the QGroundControl software, and then the waypoints are
generated for path planning, as shown in Figure 4 [24], [25]. Once the path is planned, the entire area is
covered by the robot to obtain all the grown harvest. The software ensures that only fully grown fruits and
vegetables are harvested.
2.6. Modules
The design of the harvesting bot mainly involves four modules: 1) Automated guided vehicle
(AGV), 2) Cartesian axis, 3) Articulated axis, and 4) Sensors and navigation. The computer-aided design of
the harvesting robot is shown in Figure 5.
The AGV consists of four 150 mm rubber gripped castor wheels for better friction and traction to
the ground. The AGV linear movements are actuated by two 300 mm wheels with the 24-voltage brushless

direct current hub motor, and the shaft of the wheels is supported through ball bearings. Two lithium-ion
batteries, which have a 24-voltage and current capacity of 10 Ah, are connected in parallel so that they can be
used as the main power supply. The base frame is crafted through wood as the robot is a prototype and the
wooden planks are easily affordable [26].
Figure 4. Path planning
The Cartesian axis consists of 4 aluminium V-Slot channels of size 40 mm length, 20 mm width,
and 1100 mm height are used as guideways for the V-Wheels [27]. The V-Wheels are attached to the 3D
printed components, which act as an end support carrier for the V-Slot channels. The Cartesian axis also
includes three lead screws for each X, Y, and Z-axis, which act as linear actuators and are coupled with the
Nema 17 stepper motor using a flexible coupler. The flexible couple gives an advantage as a vibration
damper. The ends of the lead screws are supported through 8mm bore diameter ball bearings. However, as
the Z-axis carrier uses linear rods, neglecting the need for V-Slot channels so that linear bearings are used
here to support the linear rods. The Articulated robot is a 3D printed six servo motors controlled robotic arm
that uses Adafruit servo motor drivers for controlling the servo motors simultaneously. The filament used in
3D printing is polylactic acid plastic (PLA) [28]. The robotic arm is designed through Solid works 3D modeling
software, and Inverse kinematics is done through Denavit and Hartenberg parameters [29], [30]. The gripper
designed is by considering the object size and by testing in various simulation platforms [31]-[33]. Motor sizing
is the crucial part while designing the robotic arm as it determines the torque requirements, and it is done
through oriental motor software. Ultrasonic sensors of 3 numbers are used here to avoid any obstacles while
the automated guided vehicle is in motion. A stereoscopic image sensor is used here as an input to the image
detection and classification software and also to find the depth of the image so that the robotic arm can reach
the exact height of the crop and acquire it. For outdoor applications, as the robot is not bounded by any walls,
the GPS waypoint navigation is used. The GPS waypoints navigations require inputs such as latitude,
longitude, and the direction of the robot so that the global positioning system and compass modules are used
here to localize the robot. All these modules are combined in order to give the end result of the final
harvesting robot, as shown in Figure 6, which is the working model of the concept.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The harvesting robot was tested in carrot and cantaloupe farming fields and gave us the following
outputs, as shown in Table 1. The vision system was performed using the YOLOV3 algorithm. The robot was
able to detect 232 out of 300 carrots with an average accuracy of 93% in 4 seconds. Similarly, 245 out of 300
cantaloupes were detected, leading to an average accuracy of 95% in 2 seconds. It was also able to
differentiate between the fully grown crops and the growing ones by feeding the neural network dataset with
more images.

As the YOLOV3 algorithm also enables us to detect multiple classes, it can be used in multiple
fields which contain different crops. The proposed robotic manipulator was able to acquire the crop in
approximately 18 seconds. It is too high when compared to the time taken by a manual process, but still, as
humans grow tiresome, this result can be acceptable due to the deviations in the robot navigation paths
caused by the farming field's obstacles such as dirt and stones. The waypoint navigation by using a global
position system gave an accuracy of around 87%.
4. CONCLUSION
An integrated robot system was designed, and the system was tested against several products using
software in order to check its validity. A prototype of the designed system was implemented and verified in
the form of hardware. In this development, automatic crop harvesting was performed through the method of
position detection and harvesting using a robotic manipulator with a harvesting hand that does not damage
the crop. The accuracy of the detection of crops such as carrots and cantaloupe was found, and the time taken
for the detection of crops was verified. This robot may not replace a human but can work collaboratively as
its performance doesn't exceed the levels of a human. This collaborative robot can be used in small-medium
scale farms, which do not involve complete automation, yet the production rate increases. In the distant
future, as unskilled labor gets eradicated, this harvesting bot will play a crucial role in fixing that problem.
The current agricultural industry is going through hardship, and this product is set to make a breakthrough
when it reaches the market as it is affordable and simple to use, which the farmers expect.
