This paper discusses the evaluation of the sensors used in the hand grip strength glove. The glove comprises of flex and force resisting sensors. Force resisting sensor determines the force applied by various parts of the palm, while the flex sensor determines the flexion of the fingers. These sensors are placed in a specific position on the glove to obtain correct data when the glove is used. The glove has two modes, which are pencil grip mode and object grip mode. The sensors determine which mode the glove is in depending on the gesture made. The glove is examined using a pencil and a cylindrical object to evaluate the strength of the grip. After gripping the object or pencil, the system evaluates the force applied using the sensors. This data is transferred to a computer for further analysis using a trained model. The model was able to achieve an accuracy of 90.8%.
Novel Approaches for Robotic Control Using Flex SensorIJERA Editor
The aim of the project is to develop the Prosthetic robotic hand using flex sensor for amputees. The main aim of the project is to develop the robotic hand that performs pick and place activities. Here we are using flex sensors to sense the signals from artificial hand signal is transmitted and that signal is used to drive the mechanical hand. Stroke is the third leading cause of the death. Nearly 7, 00,000 people suffered from stroke last year and 2/3 rd of them survived but were left with many number of disabilities; one such disability is upper extremity hemiplegia. If the hand and the arm do not have therapy immediately after stroke, it will lose its power and muscle control, resulting in a claw like appearance and loss of function. Activities of the patient, daily living activities will be significantly affected.Prosthetic hand must resemble human hand in size and shape and must perform like human hand.

Tactile sensors can be used to sense a diverse range of stimulus ranging from detecting the presence or absence of a grasped object to a complete tactile image. A tactile sensor consists of an array of touch sensitive sites, the sites may be capable of measuring more than one property. The contact forces measured
by a sensor are able to convey a large amount of information about the state of a grip. Texture, slip, impact and other contact conditions generate force and position signatures, that can be used to identify the state of a manipulation. This information can be determined by examination of the frequency domain, and is fully discussed in the literature.

Prosthesis is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part. In medicine,prosthesis is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost
through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. Prosthetic amputee rehabilitation
is primarily coordinated by a prosthetist and an inter-disciplinary team of health care
professionals including psychiatrists, surgeons, physical therapists, and occupational
therapists. A person's prosthetics should be designed and assembled according to the
patient's appearance and functional needs.
For instance, a patient may need transradial prosthesis, but need to choose
between an aesthetic functional device, a myoelectric device, a body-powered device,
and an activity specific device. The patient's future goals and economical capabilitiesmay help them choose between one or more devices.
SkinTrack is a wearable system that enables continuous

the body, a phase difference can be observed between pairs
of electrodes. SkinTrack measures these phase differences
to compute a 2D finger touch coordinate. Our approach can
segment touch events at 99% accuracy, and resolve the 2D
location of touches with a mean error of 7.6mm. As our
approach is compact, non-invasive, low-cost and lowpowered,
we envision the technology being integrated into

Physical activity recognition using embedded sensors has enabled by many context-aware applications in different areas. In
sequential acceleration data there is a natural dependence between observations of movement or behavior, a fact that has been largely
ignored in most analyses. In this paper, investigate the role that smart devices, including smartphones, can play in identifying activities
of daily living. Monitoring and precisely quantifying users’ physical activity with inertial measurement unit-based devices, for
instance, has also proven to be important in health management of patients affected by chronic diseases, e.g. We show that their
combination only improves the overall recognition performance when their individual performances are not very high, so that there is
room for performance improvement. We show that the system can be used accurately to monitor both feet movement and use this

It has been demonstrated that early diagnosis and development of effective rehabilitation strategies will substantially improve functional recovery in children with ischemic injury and that regular assessment of function and motor abilities is critical to implementation of correct rehabilitation interventions after a stroke. However, access to specialized care is limited for patients living in rural areas, particularly for pediatric ones. Our objective is to develop a computer-aided system to accurately monitor upper extremity motor function. This system is based on the combination of a “functional” test (video-game) that we have recently developed, with a prototyped sensor glove which measures angles of movement of wrist and elbow. Such a system would allow for self-evaluation and regular home-based monitoring of treatment efficacy and drive timely modification of clinical interventions.
Pneumatic stretcher chair device for paralysed patientseSAT Journals
Abstract In this age of nuclear families, the smaller number of available caregivers for paralyzed patients is a major problem. The shifting of such patients to a wheelchair is a delicate process and in most of the instances, two or more caregivers are required. This paper presents the design and fabrication of pneumatically powered stretcher-chair convertible device with movable support segments in an attempt to help such patients and caregivers. This helps the caregiver avoid heavy lifting situations that put their back at risk of injury. The caregiver can merely shift the patient from a bed on to the device while the device is in the form of a stretcher. Then the device can be converted into a chair and the wheels of the device provide mobility like a wheelchair. Most paralyzed patients develop pressure ulcers which add to their misery causing immense pain and irritation. Support surface pressure or the reaction pressure of the surface on which the patient’s body is supported has been identified as a major cause of pressure ulcer formation. In order to address this scenario, an idea of alternating pressure support surface has been implemented. This mechanism relieves support surface pressure on the patient’s body thus preventing/ prolonging pressure ulcer formation. It also exposes the body to more air so that perspiration on the patient’s skin evaporates better. Further, this mechanism acts as a body/ muscle stimulating mechanism. The alternating pressure support surface is also actuated by pneumatic power and controlled by an electronic timing circuit.

Recognition of new gestures using myo armband for myoelectric prosthetic appl...IJECEIAES
Myoelectric prostheses are a viable solution for people with amputations. The chal- lenge in implementing a usable myoelectric prosthesis lies in accurately recognizing different hand gestures. The current myoelectric devices usually implement very few hand gestures. In order to approximate a real hand functionality, a myoelectric prosthesis should implement a large number of hand and finger gestures. However, increasing number of gestures can lead to a decrease in recognition accuracy. In this work a Myo armband device is used to recognize fourteen gestures (five build in gestures of Myo armband in addition to nine new gestures). The data in this research is collected from three body-able subjects for a period of 7 seconds per gesture. The proposed method uses a pattern recognition technique based on Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPNN). The results show an average accuracy of 90.5% in recognizing the proposed fourteen gestures.
DEVELOPMENT of PROTOTYPE LAPAROSCOPIC GRASPER with HAPTIC FEEDBACKAM Publications
The introduction of robot-assisted surgery into the operating room has revolutionized the medical field.
These systems not only have the advantages of traditional minimally invasive surgery (MIS), such as reduced patient
trauma and recovery time, lower morbidity, and lower health care costs, but they also eliminate surgeon tremor,
reduce the effects of surgeon fatigue, and incorporate the ability to perform remote surgical procedures. However,
current robotic surgical systems, such as the Da Vinci™ Surgical System, lack the capability of providing force
feedback to the surgeon that is present in conventional surgery. Therefore, this lack of force feedback presents
excellent developmental opportunities for surgeons and engineers to create novel surgical tools and methods to
incorporate force feedback capabilities into these robotic surgical systems. The goal of this research is to restore force
feedback capability to the surgeon in robot-assisted surgery through a haptic interaction experience involving force
feedback from the surgical site using our novel teleoperation platform. This project will summarize our research
including: 1)The Laparoscopic tool will be mounted over robotic arm.2)The Laparoscopic grasper can be integrated
with force feedback system and tactile system.3)Incorporation of master slave technique in prototype model.4)The
sensors will be used to transmit force data to slave controller and then transmitted wirelessly to master controller
which then controlled by servo motor(force feedback device.5)Opening and closing process of Laparoscopic grasper is controlled by servo motor.

Stroke is a disease that currently attracts more attention in Indonesia according to the statistics provided by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. This research was motivated by the shortage of physiotherapists which can not catch the increasing number of stroke patients. The therapy becomes less effective and less efficient since each therapist must handle too many patients during his/her work hours. This research has developed a device prototype that can help the therapy to measure and monitor patient exercise, especially at the final stage of rehabilitation when the patient gets therapy to move actively. The angle of the moving body parts that can represent the ability of patient motion was measured using accelerometers. The developed prototype was in the form of a glove, equipped with an Arduino Nano and two accelerometer modules, that measures the motion of the thumb and index finger. The device was calibrated and tested to determine the characteristics of the sensors. This test showed that the gloves prototype had an accuracy of 95,8% and precision of 99,6%. The application of the prototype was carried out on four types of finger movements, namely thumb abduction-adduction, thumb flexion-extension, finger flexion-hyperextension, and finger abductionadduction. The prototype was also tested for its ability to work in variations of direction and position of the hand.
Important Parameters for Hand Function Assessment of Stroke PatientsTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Clinical scales such as Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Motor Assessment Scale are widely used to evaluate stroke patient's motor performance. However, the scoring systems of these assessments provide only rough estimation, making it difficult to objectively quantify impairment and disability or even rehabilitation progress throughout their rehabilitation period. In contrast, robot-based assessments are objective, repeatable, and could potentially reduce the assessment time. However, robot-based assessment scales are not as well established as conventional assessment scale and the correlation to conventional assessment scale is unclear. This paper discusses the important parameters in order to assess the hand function of stroke patients. This knowledge will provide a contribution to the development of a new robot-based assessment device effectively by including the important parameters in the device. The important parameters were included in development of iRest and yielded promising results that illustrate the potential of the important parameters in assessing the hand function of stroke patients.

the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate
change, point out areas of research deficiency and recommendations on how
to increase role of the women in addressing the climate change and
achieving sustainability. To achieve more successful results, this initiative
aims to highlight the significance of gender equality and encourage

The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Precisely characterizing Li-ion batteries is essential for optimizing their
performance, enhancing safety, and prolonging their lifespan across various
applications, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. This
article introduces an innovative nonlinear methodology for system
identification of a Li-ion battery, employing a nonlinear autoregressive with
exogenous inputs (NARX) model. The proposed approach integrates the
benefits of nonlinear modeling with the adaptability of the NARX structure,
facilitating a more comprehensive representation of the intricate
electrochemical processes within the battery. Experimental data collected
from a Li-ion battery operating under diverse scenarios are employed to
validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The identified
NARX model exhibits superior accuracy in predicting the battery's behavior
compared to traditional linear models. This study underscores the
importance of accounting for nonlinearities in battery modeling, providing
insights into the intricate relationships between state-of-charge, voltage, and
current under dynamic conditions.
Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future
research.
Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.

The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.
Enhancing photovoltaic system maximum power point tracking with fuzzy logic-b...IJECEIAES
Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.
An efficient security framework for intrusion detection and prevention in int...IJECEIAES
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

This research is developing an incubator system that integrates the internet of things and artificial intelligence to improve care for premature babies. The system workflow starts with sensors that collect data from the incubator. Then, the data is sent in real-time to the internet of things (IoT) broker eclipse mosquito using the message queue telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol version 5.0. After that, the data is stored in a database for analysis using the long short-term memory network (LSTM) method and displayed in a web application using an application programming interface (API) service. Furthermore, the experimental results produce as many as 2,880 rows of data stored in the database. The correlation coefficient between the target attribute and other attributes ranges from 0.23 to 0.48. Next, several experiments were conducted to evaluate the model-predicted value on the test data. The best results are obtained using a two-layer LSTM configuration model, each with 60 neurons and a lookback setting 6. This model produces an R 2 value of 0.934, with a root mean square error (RMSE) value of 0.015 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.008. In addition, the R 2 value was also evaluated for each attribute used as input, with a result of values between 0.590 and 0.845.

The internet of things (IoT) is a revolutionary innovation in many aspects of our society including interactions, financial activity, and global security such as the military and battlefield internet. Due to the limited energy and processing capacity of network devices, security, energy consumption, compatibility, and device heterogeneity are the long-term IoT problems. As a result, energy and security are critical for data transmission across edge and IoT networks. Existing IoT interoperability techniques need more computation time, have unreliable authentication mechanisms that break easily, lose data easily, and have low confidentiality. In this paper, a key agreement protocol-based authentication mechanism for IoT devices is offered as a solution to this issue. This system makes use of information exchange, which must be secured to prevent access by unauthorized users. Using a compact contiki/cooja simulator, the performance and design of the suggested framework are validated. The simulation findings are evaluated based on detection of malicious nodes after 60 minutes of simulation. The suggested trust method, which is based on privacy access control, reduced packet loss ratio to 0.32%, consumed 0.39% power, and had the greatest average residual energy of 0.99 mJoules at 10 nodes.
Fuzzy linear programming with the intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy numbersIJECEIAES
In real world applications, data are subject to ambiguity due to several factors; fuzzy sets and fuzzy numbers propose a great tool to model such ambiguity. In case of hesitation, the complement of a membership value in fuzzy numbers can be different from the non-membership value, in which case we can model using intuitionistic fuzzy numbers as they provide flexibility by defining both a membership and a non-membership functions. In this article, we consider the intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem with intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy numbers, which is a generalization of the previous polygonal fuzzy numbers found in the literature. We present a modification of the simplex method that can be used to solve any general intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem after approximating the problem by an intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy number with n edges. This method is given in a simple tableau formulation, and then applied on numerical examples for clarity.

Prostate cancer is the predominant form of cancer observed in men worldwide. The application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a guidance tool for conducting biopsies has been established as a reliable and well-established approach in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The diagnostic performance of MRI-guided prostate cancer diagnosis exhibits significant heterogeneity due to the intricate and multi-step nature of the diagnostic pathway. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) models, specifically through the utilization of machine learning techniques such as deep learning, is assuming an increasingly significant role in the field of radiology. In the realm of prostate MRI, a considerable body of literature has been dedicated to the development of various AI algorithms. These algorithms have been specifically designed for tasks such as prostate segmentation, lesion identification, and classification. The overarching objective of these endeavors is to enhance diagnostic performance and foster greater agreement among different observers within MRI scans for the prostate. This review article aims to provide a concise overview of the application of AI in the field of radiology, with a specific focus on its utilization in prostate MRI.
Seizure stage detection of epileptic seizure using convolutional neural networksIJECEIAES
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), seventy million individuals worldwide suffer from epilepsy, a neurological disorder. While electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial for diagnosing epilepsy and monitoring the brain activity of epilepsy patients, it requires a specialist to examine all EEG recordings to find epileptic behavior. This procedure needs an experienced doctor, and a precise epilepsy diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment. To identify epileptic seizures, this study employed a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on raw scalp EEG signals to discriminate between preictal, ictal, postictal, and interictal segments. The possibility of these characteristics is explored by examining how well timedomain signals work in the detection of epileptic signals using intracranial Freiburg Hospital (FH), scalp Children's Hospital Boston-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (CHB-MIT) databases, and Temple University Hospital (TUH) EEG. To test the viability of this approach, two types of experiments were carried out. Firstly, binary class classification (preictal, ictal, postictal each versus interictal) and four-class classification (interictal versus preictal versus ictal versus postictal). The average accuracy for stage detection using CHB-MIT database was 84.4%, while the Freiburg database's time-domain signals had an accuracy of 79.7% and the highest accuracy of 94.02% for classification in the TUH EEG database when comparing interictal stage to preictal stage.
Analysis of driving style using self-organizing maps to analyze driver behaviorIJECEIAES
Modern life is strongly associated with the use of cars, but the increase in acceleration speeds and their maneuverability leads to a dangerous driving style for some drivers. In these conditions, the development of a method that allows you to track the behavior of the driver is relevant. The article provides an overview of existing methods and models for assessing the functioning of motor vehicles and driver behavior. Based on this, a combined algorithm for recognizing driving style is proposed. To do this, a set of input data was formed, including 20 descriptive features: About the environment, the driver's behavior and the characteristics of the functioning of the car, collected using OBD II. The generated data set is sent to the Kohonen network, where clustering is performed according to driving style and degree of danger. Getting the driving characteristics into a particular cluster allows you to switch to the private indicators of an individual driver and considering individual driving characteristics. The application of the method allows you to identify potentially dangerous driving styles that can prevent accidents.
Hyperspectral object classification using hybrid spectral-spatial fusion and ...IJECEIAES
Because of its spectral-spatial and temporal resolution of greater areas, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has found widespread application in the field of object classification. The HSI is typically used to accurately determine an object's physical characteristics as well as to locate related objects with appropriate spectral fingerprints. As a result, the HSI has been extensively applied to object identification in several fields, including surveillance, agricultural monitoring, environmental research, and precision agriculture. However, because of their enormous size, objects require a lot of time to classify; for this reason, both spectral and spatial feature fusion have been completed. The existing classification strategy leads to increased misclassification, and the feature fusion method is unable to preserve semantic object inherent features; This study addresses the research difficulties by introducing a hybrid spectral-spatial fusion (HSSF) technique to minimize feature size while maintaining object intrinsic qualities; Lastly, a soft-margins kernel is proposed for multi-layer deep support vector machine (MLDSVM) to reduce misclassification. The standard Indian pines dataset is used for the experiment, and the outcome demonstrates that the HSSF-MLDSVM model performs substantially better in terms of accuracy and Kappa coefficient.

1. INTRODUCTION
Sensors are widely used in many applications. One such use of this is in gloves. These gloves take
data from the sensors and forwards it to the system. The system would then determine what it should do with
this data. Prior to the beginning of 21st
century, the estimation of power applied by the hand were limited
because of technological limitations. The present situation has changed with the headway of the ultrathin
sensors.
Tarchanidis and Lygouras [1] proposed a glove that consists of flex sensors and strain gauge force
sensor to evaluate the power applied. To check the glove, a ball was pressed to assess the power applied. This
framework lacks in estimating the power applied by tip of the fingers and the force applied by the palm. To
make the glove more accurate the glove had a non-stretchable support around the fingers. Flex sensors
utilized in this test have serious degree of error, which makes the force calculated inaccurate. Du et al. [2]
proposed a mechanical methodology to compute the power applied by the hand. Voltage is generated using
the angle sensor when they are rotated. Furthermore, displacement sensors create voltage when the cylinder
is dislodged, the cylinder has a magnetic ring around it. The outcomes showed that a limit of 47 N could be
registered by the framework. This framework has serious level of error because of the contribution of friction
in the glove. Also, the glove is quite heavy, which makes it harder to assess the power. As a portion of the
power is needed to hold the glove [3].
Lee et al. [4] recommended a way to deal with the tip force applied by fingers called grip force
glove measurement system. It was intended to quantify the power applied on muscles and joints. To evaluate
the results of the grip framework, members were given long round and hollow handles with various distances
across. The outcomes showed that thumb applied the most power, while ring and middle finger applied high
power. Additionally, this paper needs more information to assess the implementation of the grip force glove.

It requires an interface to show the power being applied which is simpler to understand. Another paper
suggested a hand restoration framework in [5] which comprises of force sensitive resistor (FSR) sensors and
flex sensors to decide the flexion of the fingers and power applied by the tips of the fingers. To decide the
effectiveness of the glove, an elastic ball was pressed while wearing the glove. The flexion of fingers and
power applied by the fingers, will be determined with the help of the glove. Bustamante et al. [6] offered a
sensor glove which comprises of FSR sensors to support in finding Parkinson illness and amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis (ALS) in patients. To decide the proficiency of the gloves, finger tapping, and hand grip tests were
performed on it [7], [8]. A reasonable smart glove was proposed by Akpa et al. [9]. To assess the function of
the glove, the client needs to wear it and use it during workouts. The glove was able to evaluate which
exercise is being played using by the power applied from the FSR sensors. The framework accomplished a
precision of 87%.
Another research by Nabilah et al. [10] made a wired glove framework called GloveMAP. To
evaluate the glove, the glove was tested using bottles with different weights. Information was extracted from
the glove by connecting it to the personal computer (PC). The information was exhibited on diagrams to
show how much power each finger is applying. Nevertheless, this plan needs legitimate assessment of the
power applied by the hand. It just measures the power applied from thumb, first and second fingers. This
glove requires more sensors to get more exact information. Particularly around the palm and other fingers to
know their commitment in grasping of the object. Similar framework was utilized in [11], [12] to evaluate the
tripod grip intensity. The framework had the option to arrive at precision of 90% in assessing the grip
strength. Yap et al. [13] suggested a smart glove that utilizes flex sensors and FSR sensors for post stroke
hand treatment. To assess the glove, an elastic ball was pressed with various measure of powers.
Nageshwar et al. [14] aligned a FSR sensor. To align the FSR, recognized loads were put on the
FSR and readings of current were captured. This information is utilized to make an alignment bend using the
current and real power applied by the loads because of gravity. The outcomes showed the level of error made
by the sensor. Machine learning is developing the precision and swiftness of the framework in [15]. Pushpa
et al. [16] machine learning was utilized to inspect the execution of a class. They made examples from past
outcomes to gauge the following outcome random forest classifier was the most exact model in estimating.
Krishnamurthy et al. [17] proposed a framework MALADY. It utilized the information from sensor to grasp
and settle on decisions continuously. Henceforth, this made the framework self-sufficient. The prototype was
made by utilizing an support vector machine (SVM) based classifier [18]–[21]. Machine learning was
additionally used to help fall identification in [22]. It utilized information from wearable device to anticipate
the fall and its heading with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI). The outcomes were very precise and had
the option to perceive fall. Additionally, hand signals were perceived by utilizing AI in [23], [24]. Neural
networks were utilized to help in deciding a specific motion, six signals were utilized to test the framework.
The glove discussed in this paper uses force resistive sensors and flex sensors. The glove has two
different modes to determine the grip, which are pencil grip strength and object grip strength. This glove
would tell the user in real-time the grip strength of the user, if its weak or strong. Most of the papers mention
in this literature review had FSR sensors to measure the force applied by the user. However, there were some
papers which used flex and FSR sensors together. For example, in studies [5], [25] same sensors are used, but
the placement and the methodology are quite different. The machine learning applied on the glove sets it
apart from any other research. Moreover, the ability to switch between the two modes automatically is icing
on the cake [26]. The pencil grip mode is not discussed in these papers, which makes this glove unique.
The rest of the paper is arranged as following. An in-depth method section, which discusses the
methods that were used. A section for findings is also included to evaluate the outcome of these procedure.
Finally, a conclusion to review the outcomes in this paper.
2. METHOD
2.1. Selection of sensors
2.1.1. Flexion of fingers
For the flexion of fingers, they are variety of sensors that can be used. One method that could be
used is a potentiometer with a cable, the potentiometer will tell the user how much cable has been pulled. The
pull of the cable will be converted into resistance, this would be used to determine the flexion of the fingers.
However, this method is too bulky and inefficient. Another method could be to use a flex sensor that could
measure the bending of the fingers. This method is quite light when compared to the potentiometer one.
Hence, flex sensor seems to be the better option here.
2.1.2. Force applied by hand
For the fingertips, a sensor is required that can measure the force applied by the fingertips. There are
many sensors that could such as load sensor, FSR sensor and two sheets of copper separated by foam. Load

sensor is quite heavy and impractical for this system. This will make the glove heavy and might constrict
movement. FSR sensor are light weight and can work in this scenario, since lot of these sensors would be
used. Two sheets of copper separated by foam is a novel method to form a force sensing sensor. However,
this could have large inconsistencies. Moreover, this sensor has a larger surface area when compared with
FSR sensors. Hence, FSR sensor seems to be the better option here.
The force sensitive resistor (FSR) was connected with the Arduino and resistor to determine its raw
value. One pin of the sensor was connected to a resistor with resistance of 10 kΩ which was also connected
to an analog pin, while the other pin of the sensor was connected to 5 V. The other end of the resistor was
connected to ground. Force resistive sensor connections are shown in Figure 1.
The flex sensor was connected with the Arduino and resistor to determine its raw value. One pin of
the sensor was connected to a resistor with resistance of 10 kΩ which was also connected to an analog pin.
While the other pin of the sensor was connected to 5 V. The other end of the resistor was connected to

Figure 1. Connections for FSR sensor
Figure 2. Connections for flex sensor
2.2. Calibration of sensors
2.2.1. Force resisting sensor
To calibrate the sensors, the Arduino was programmed. The Arduino code was modified so that it
can get the correct weight in Newtons. To verify the calibration, multiple weights were used. The weights
consist of 0.5 kg, 0.7 kg and 0.9 kg. However, the base area of these weights was bigger than the surface area
of the FSR sensor. To overcome this, a small weight of 20 g was used. This weight was able to fit on the
surface area of the FSR sensor. The other weights were placed on this, so the pressure was transmitted to the
FSR surface area. The readings were noted down and the code was tweaked until the microcontroller showed
the same weights as the weights were used.
2.2.1. Flex sensor
To calibrate the flex sensors, the Arduino was programmed. The Arduino code was modified so that
it can get the twist in degree that was mapped from resistance. To verify the calibration, two points were
used. These two points were 0 degree and 90 degrees. To map these resistances, we used these two points.
And then the other values are computed using this map function.

After the mapping was done, certain things were observed. To hold an object, angle of 13 degrees or
more is required. This was also used to determine the mode the user is in. For pencil mode, the user had to
use first two fingers and the thumb. If these sensors showed a value greater than 13 that means it is in pencil
mode. For the object mode, four fingers and thumb are required to register a reading of 13 degree or more.
This was also used to evaluate the flexion of the fingers. This can show if the fingers can bend properly or
not. To test this condition, the person has to make a fist. When the person makes a fist, the sensors register a
reading of 60 degrees or more.
2.2.3. Placement of the sensors
The position of the sensors is a very crucial part of this experiment. Flex sensors can only be placed
where there is bending. So, the most obvious place would be to place them on the top of the fingers and
thumb, however it could also be placed inside. But since we need to place FSR sensors as well, it is better to
place them above the fingers to avoid any inaccuracies in the readings. For the FSR sensors, it can be placed
on the fingertips to get the force exerted by these points. This could be very useful for pencil mode.
Moreover, FSR sensors need to be placed on the palm too. This would be crucial in holding an object or
being in object mode. To get the points on the palm, various test needs to be performed. Like holding the
object while the FSR is placed in different places. And then register the highest readings and location of these
readings.
2.2.4. Generating and classifying data
The data from the sensor is printed on the serial node using Arduino microcontroller. The data is
separated by a comma and prints all the FSR sensors first, followed by the flex sensors. Using the flex sensor
values the program determines which mode the user is in. If the first two fingers and thumb are gripped the
system determines the mode as P which is pencil grip. If all the fingers and thumb are gripped the system
determines the mode as O which is object grip. The program also classifies the data based on the average
force applied by the fingers. The data is classified first into categories that are L (weak) and H (strong). The
mode and the class are also printed on the node. The Arduino code is attached in the appendix.
2.2.5. Machine learning program
The csv file is processed by an SVM based machine learning program to classify the data. The data
is classified first into categories that are L (weak) and H (strong). And then the program is trained using this
manually classified data. The data was divided into training data and test data. The test data was 25% of the
whole data.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Force resisting sensor
Figure 3 shows the weight that was applied on the FSR along with 10 g weight to exert all the
weight on the force sensing region. The reading on the serial monitor was 0.51 kg. Weight of 700 g was
placed on the FSR along with 10 g weight to exert all the weight on the force sensing region as shown in
Figure 3. The reading on the serial monitor was 0.71 kg. And then weight of 900 g was placed on the FSR
along with 10 g weight to exert all the weight on the force sensing region as shown in Figure 3. The reading
on the serial monitor was 0.91 kg.

3.2. Flex sensor
Figure 4 shows the angle of the bending and resistance of the flex sensor at stationary value or
0 degrees. The reading on the serial monitor was 1 degree. The flex sensor was then bent at 70 similar to
Figure 4. The reading on the serial monitor was 72°. The flex sensor had a maximum of 82° when the fingers
were close to the palm. This test was used to determine the flexibility of the fingers.
However, for testing the two modes the sensor needs to show a change in angle by 60°. The mode is
decided based on the angles generated from each finger. If the first two fingers and the thumb produce an
angle of 60° or more, the mode is pencil grip. If more fingers create an angle of more than 60° the system is
in object mode.

3.3. Placement of the sensors
Figure 5 shows the placement of the force resisting sensors on the hand. They are placed at the tip of
the hand to get the force exerted by the finger. The rest four are placed on the palm. This design is made in
consideration of the application that are holding an object or a pencil. Figure 6 shoes the placement of the
flex sensors, they are placed on top of each finger and thumb. They are going to be used to determine the
bending of the fingers using the change in resistance from the flex sensors. This design was made in this way
to avoid conflicts between the FSR and flex sensors.

3.4. Generating and classifying data
The serial node is read by another application and then stored in a CSV file. The program starts
saving the data when the port is selected and saves the file when the save button is clicked. The first nine
readings are from FSR sensors, the next five readings are from flex sensors. The mode is determined using
the flex sensor and then the data is classified using the values from FSR sensors. Figure 7 shows the outcome
of the program.
3.5. Machine learning program
After training the classifier using 75% of the data, the classifier was tested using the test data. The
Figure 8 shows the outcome of the trained program. The value of the accuracy also varies depending on
which mode the glove is in. the pencil grip mode has more accuracy as compared to object mode.

Figure 7. Serial node output
Figure 8. SVM program output
The confusion matrix in Table 1 shows the outcomes of the SVM program, it shows that the system
has an accuracy of 90.8%. L means that the grip is weak while H means that its strong. As the table show that
the glove can detect strong grip effectively. There is only some issue in weak grip which can be fixed with
more data.
The box plot in Figure 9 shows the difference of force applied by the hand while holding a pencil.
The force applied is the average force applied by the first finger, second finger and thumb. The weak grip
was mostly in the range of 1.1 and 1.45. The strong grip was in the range of 5.95 to 8.0, which shows the
strong grip had more range difference than the weak. More data can aid in providing better results, especially
for weak grip.
The box plot in Figure 10 shows the difference of force applied by the hand while holding an object.
The force applied is the average force applied by all the fingers and thumb. The weak grip was mostly in the
range of 0.03 and 0.06. The strong grip was in the range of 1.2 to 1.95, which shows the strong grip had more
range difference than the weak. More data can help in providing improved results, especially for weak grip.

Figure 10. Boxplot for object grip
To see the comparison between the two modes a scatterplot was obtained, that is shown in
Figure 11. The two areas on the hand that are covered are the palm and the fingertips. In pencil mode most of
the force was applied by the fingertips, while in object grip most of the force was applied by the palm. The
interesting outcome from these two modes is that the fingertips had a significant difference in forces when
compared to force applied by palm. This could be due to the surface area of the palm is more than the surface
area of fingertips.

3.6. Discussion
The proposed solution in this paper is quite accurate due to the machine learning that is applied on
the data. However, there are other reasons for this accuracy too. The sensor selection in this research is key
variable. The two sensors used are flex and FSR. FSR sensors are used to measure the force applied by the
part of the hand, while the flex sensors are used to determine the flexion of the fingers and the mode the user
is in.
Other important factor is the placement of the sensors. The FSR sensors are placed on the hand in
such a way that it exhibits force applied by the hand on the object. These points are important to know, as
wrong placement can cause errors in the evaluation of the glove.
Data classification for preparing the model is also a factor, as this helps to shape the prototype. This
data needs to be classified properly as it is the benchmark used by the model to determine the grip strength.
To make sure the classification is accurate, the flex sensors were mapped on to angles while the force applied
by the FSR sensors were converted to force in newtons.
Machine learning is responsible for using the data and determining the strength of the user. This
uses various factors like the grip mode and sensor data to determine if the user has a strong grip or not. The

major drawback in this glove are the wires used, the wires make the glove too heavy for use. Moreover, the
wires can cause difficulty when the fingers are moved. The other drawback could be that there is not
sufficient data to generalize the model for everyone.
A lot of work can be done on this glove to optimize its performance. The major upgrade would be to
add wireless feature, which can make the glove easier to use. Moreover, unsupervised learning model can
make the glove more accurate. More options can be added to the glove that can help in data classification.
Features like age and gender can have a major impact in the detection of hand grip strength. However, this
solution is very tough to implement practically.
4. CONCLUSION
This paper discusses the sensors used for a hand grip strength experiment. The aim of the
experiment is to decide the strength of the grip by using flex and FSR sensors. Sensor placement was also
another key variable of this experiment. After the sensor gets the data, it is analyzed by the machine learning
model. The model is created by manually classifying the data. This protype will then identify the grip
strength and the mode the user is in. This model achieved an accuracy of 90.8%.
The major obstacle from this experiment is to detect the weak grip. The weak grip range is quite
small which creates a problem in determining the weak grip. However, this can be resolved by adding more
data from people with weak grip strength. Additional features like wireless feature, unsupervised model, age,
and gender can be added to the glove to make it more robust. However, this would require more testing and
data to verify the effectiveness of the system. It would be harder to implement, as it is harder to get more
people to experiment and to differentiate the data extracted from the people.
