Optimal Design of Super Twisting Control with PSO Algorithm for Robotic Manip...CSCJournals
Robotic manipulators are nonlinear and coupling systems exposing to external disturbance. They are used in wide industrial applications; the suitable selection of a nonlinear robust controller is required. Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) was designed to achieve these requirements, but unfortunately the chattering phenomenon was the main drawback of the conventional SMC. It leads to destructive of some components of a real system and subsequent loss in its accuracy. Hence, the design of Super-Twisting Controller (STC) is suggested for chattering elimination. In previous literatures, the accomplishment of the manual adjustment for the parameters of STC was a large burden and time consuming process. Therefore, a new combination of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm with STC is proposed for optimal tuning of STC parameters. The simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the super twisting technique for chattering mitigation comparing to the conventional SMC. Also, STC tuned via PSO proves its effectiveness and robustness to different types of external disturbances without the needs for the knowledge of their upper boundary values. Besides, the performance of the controlled system is faster and more accurate in the criteria of overshoot, settling time and rise time compared to the manual adjusting of super twisting controllers.

Adaptive MIMO Fuzzy Compensate Fuzzy Sliding Mode Algorithm: Applied to Secon...CSCJournals
This research is focused on proposed adaptive fuzzy sliding mode algorithms with the adaptation laws derived in the Lyapunov sense. The stability of the closed-loop system is proved mathematically based on the Lyapunov method. Adaptive MIMO fuzzy compensate fuzzy sliding mode method design a MIMO fuzzy system to compensate for the model uncertainties of the system, and chattering also solved by linear saturation method. Since there is no tuning method to adjust the premise part of fuzzy rules so we presented a scheme to online tune consequence part of fuzzy rules. Classical sliding mode control is robust to control model uncertainties and external disturbances. A sliding mode method with a switching control low guarantees the stability of the certain and/or uncertain system, but the addition of the switching control low introduces chattering into the system. One way to reduce or eliminate chattering is to insert a boundary layer method inside of a boundary layer around the sliding surface. Classical sliding mode control method has difficulty in handling unstructured model uncertainties. One can overcome this problem by combining a sliding mode controller and artificial intelligence (e.g. fuzzy logic). To approximate a time-varying nonlinear dynamic system, a fuzzy system requires a large amount of fuzzy rule base. This large number of fuzzy rules will cause a high computation load. The addition of an adaptive law to a fuzzy sliding mode controller to online tune the parameters of the fuzzy rules in use will ensure a moderate computational load. The adaptive laws in this algorithm are designed based on the Lyapunov stability theorem. Asymptotic stability of the closed loop system is also proved in the sense of Lyapunov.

MULTIOBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION AND QUANTITATIVE TRADE-OFF ANALYSIS IN XEROGRAPHI...Sudhendu Rai
A complex engineering system such as a xerographic marking engine is an aggregate of interacting subsystems that are coupled through a large number of constraints and design variables. The traditional way of designing these systems is to decouple the overall design into smaller subsystems and assign teams to work on these subsystems. This approach is critical to making the project manageable and enabling concurrent development. However, if the goal is to design systems that can deliver best possible performance, i.e. if the performance limits are being pushed to the extreme, characterizing the interactions becomes critical.
Multiobjective optimization is a design methodology that addresses the issue of designing large systems where the goal is to simultaneously optimize a finite number of performance criteria that come from one or more disciplines and are coupled through a set of design variables and constraints. This approach to design makes explicit and quantitative the inherent trade-offs that need to be made in doing coupled system design. It also enables the determination of the attainable limits of performance from a given system.
This paper will discuss the multiobjective optimization methodology and optimal methods of performing quantitative trade-off analysis. These design methods will be applied to problems from the xerographic design domain and results will be presented.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

• In Engineering, Compliant Mechanisms are
flexible mechanisms that transfer an input force
and displacement at one port to an output force
and displacement at another port through elastic
body deformation.
So basically, Compliant Mechanisms don’t depend on
different parts as in Rigid Mechanisms, comprising of
parts which need an intermediate to transfer force.
It has great number of applications in space missions,
medical field, engineering, robotics, nuclear weapons
etc.
5. Zapscience.com
1) Reduced Part Count
Compliant Mechanisms have the potential to
dramatically reduce the total number of parts required
to accomplish a particular task.
It is generally done by having flexible parts instead of
springs, pins, and traditional rigid hinges.
Therefore, the no. of components required for
Compliant Mechanism < Rigid Mechanism
7. Zapscience.com
2) Easy to Manufacture
Compliant Mechanisms are easy to manufacture
because they can be produced using various
manufacturing processes.
Many Compliant Mechanisms can be fabricated flat
from planar sheets of material.
Manufacturing methods including machining,
stamping, laser cutting, water-jet cutting, 3D printing
and EDM can be used to manufacture these
mechanisms.
8. Zapscience.com
3) Lower Price
Because of the reduced part count and simple
manufacturing processes involved in compliant
mechanisms they are inexpensive.
The optimisation of fewer parts and simple
manufacturing techniques reduce the assembly time
and cost.
9. Zapscience.com
4) Precise Motion
Compliant Mechanisms allow precise motion by
reducing or eliminating backlash and wear.
(Backlash is caused by the tolerances of
interconnecting pieces)
Mechanical wear that happens in rigid body
mechanism is not seen in compliant mechanism as
there are no interconnecting parts such as hinges as in
rigid body and thus minimises the wear even further.
10. Zapscience.com
5) Performance and Maintenance
Compliant Mechanisms have smaller no. Of movable
joints(such as pin) which results in reduced friction.
This also reduces the need for lubrication.
This valuable characteristic can help in applications
where the mechanism is not easily accessible as in
harsh environments.
As in space where lubricants tend to “outgas” in a low-
gravity environment.
12. Zapscience.com
6) Micro Applications
Another advantage of Compliant Mechanism is that
they can be easily miniaturized.
Simple micro structures, actuators, and sensors are
seeing wide use and also the micro electromechanical
system shows great promise with the help of compliant
mechanism.
Here too, the reduced parts is a significant advantage
of the compliant mechanism.
14. Zapscience.com
7) Portability
A significant reduction in weight can be observed by
using compliant mechanism over their rigid-body
counterparts.
This has a lot of scope in the aerospace industry as a
major concern in payloads and weight is seen in
rockets and aircrafts.
It has also benefitted companies by reducing the
weight and shipping costs of customer products.
17. Zapscience.com
1) Designing Complex System
There is a relative difficulty in analyzing and designing
of compliant mechanisms.
Knowledge of mechanism analysis methods and
deflection of flexible members is required.
You need to understand the interactions in a complex
system before combining any two bodies comprising
of compliant mechanism.
18. Zapscience.com
2) Analysis of Compliant
Mechanism
Linearized beam equations are not valid in case of
Compliant mechanisms as many of the flexible
members undergo large deflections.
Many Compliant Mechanisms in the past were
designed by trial and error approaches.
Theories have been developed to simplify this but still
considering these advances, analysis and design of
compliant mechanism is lot harder than rigid-body
mechanism.
19. Zapscience.com
3) Energy Storage and Fatigue
Compliant Mechanisms are used to store energy but in
some cases though some energy gets stored in the
mechanism and does not reach till the output end thus
decreasing its efficiency.
As compliant members are often loaded cyclically it is
important to design those members that they will have
sufficient fatigue life to perform their functions.
20. Zapscience.com
4) Limited Motion
Motion from deflection of the compliant links are
limited by the strength of deflecting members.
Compliant link cannot produce a rotational motion
such as that possible with a pin point.
23. Zapscience.com
Pseudo-Rigid Body Model
This method was introduced by Larry. L. Howell in
1994.
It is an approximation technique for modelling a
compliant mechanism rather for those where
compliant joints experience large deflection and leads
to non-linear behaviour.
It enables the simulation of complicated non linear
elastic behaviours using well established and
comparatively simple methods.

Topology Optimization
Topology optimization refers to software that takes
advantage of the design freedoms offered by additive
manufacturing.
In general, topology optimization programs enable
designers to create a design that is strong.
One of the key benefits of topology optimization is its
ability to cut excess weight out of the design.
General Electric once removed 84% of weight from an
engine bracket using topology optimization.
26. Zapscience.com
Bistable Compliant Mechanisms
These Mechanisms have two stable equilibrium
positions within their range of motions.
Its main advantage is-
Ability to stay in two positions without power input
and despite small external disturbances.
Designing these mechanisms require solving non-
linear differential eqn and consideration of energy
storage and motion requirements.
It has proved of a great advantage in many micro-
electromechanical systems(MEMS).
