Robotic Arm Manipulator Integration with Commanded Mode Rover for Industrial Automation M. Rakesh, T. Venkata Naresh, Syed Arshad, K. C.T. Swamy, S. Fowzia Sultana 2nd International Conference on Machine Learning and Autonomous Systems Icmlas 2025 Proceedings, 2025 This paper presents the development and implementation of a Robotic arm manipulator integration with commanded mode rover to perform efficient pick-and-place operations in dynamic and uneven terrains. The rover executes three primary tasks such as picking objects using the manipulator, autonomously detecting and avoiding obstacles, and placing objects at designated location with high precision. The rover is controlled via a command-based interface which offers user-friendly operation and adaptability to various environments. The integration of obstacle detection and avoidance, along with robotic arm manipulator control allows the rover to perform tasks remotely from a base station and reliably in challenging conditions. Experimental results validate the rover's performance, highlighting its ability to tackle diverse scenarios with high accuracy and efficiency. This designed rover finds the potential applications in industrial automation, disaster response, and extraterrestrial exploration.
Cross Connected Source Multilevel Inverter (CCSMLI) for Renewable Energy Source Integration in a Single Phase Standalone System Rakesh M N 2024 IEEE 4th International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Future Electric Transportation Sefet 2024, 2024 Integration of non-conventional energy sources either with utility grid or as standalone system (SAS) is gaining importance in the energy scenario. This paper proposes integration of photovoltaic (PV) system into a single-phase standalone system, through 9 level cross connected source multilevel inverter (CCSMLI). The main advantage of CCSMLI topology is its fewer component count, which further results in less complexity in circuit, reduction in cost and size of system [1]. Two identical PV modules are connected across inverter nearest level control (NLC) technique is adopted for the control of inverter switches. Unlike high switching frequency modulation schemes, NLC provides low switching frequency which do not require redundancy of switching states which further results in less processing time at implementation stage [5]. The entire simulation is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink environment.
Advancing Power Quality in Smart Grids Through Tailored UPQC Modifications Kandakatla Vishnu, V. Srikanth, M. Rakesh, G. Nishanth, P. Vinay 2024 IEEE International Conference on Information Technology Electronics and Intelligent Communication Systems Iciteics 2024, 2024 In the realm of fortifying security measures and enhancing Power Quality (PQ) within the intricate landscape of the Smart Grid (SG) infrastructure, this investigation delves into the intricate harmonic's conundrum induced by the pervasive utilization of power electronic devices. While (UPQC) Unified Power Quality Conditioners are conventionally employed to ameliorate voltage-related challenges in distribution systems, paradoxically, they introduce harmonics that impinge on system stability, especially concerning delicate loads. This research introduces an inventive methodology that fuses bio- geography-based optimization and harmonics elimination techniques into a tailored UPQC integrated within the SG framework. Lower-order harmonics are assuaged through judiciously calculated switching angles, whereas higher order harmonics are quelled by infusing harmonics of identical order, yet possessing equal magnitude and opposing phase, emanating from the alternate converter. The induction of Photo-Voltaic (PV) panels to energize the adapted UPQC converters ensures a sustainable power source, and real-time firing angles are extrapolated from pre-archived values stored in the microcontroller memory. This comprehensive approach not only confronts the intricacies of UPQC-associated harmonics but also seamlessly integrates renewable energy sources, ushering in a new era of efficiency and sustainability in Smart Grid operations.
Optimized Parallel Architecture for a Constant-Time Synchronous Binary Counter with Minimal Clock Period K. Manisha, Guniputi Dheeraj, Kaminahal Matam Manasa Veena, Mandava Rakesh, MakamVamshikrishna Peerayya 2024 IEEE International Conference on Information Technology Electronics and Intelligent Communication Systems Iciteics 2024, 2024 An ideal parallel design for a clock-period-minimal constant-time synchronous binary counter is presented in this paper. The architecture makes use of two types of 8-bit synchronous binary counters: one that uses a ripple carry chain and the other that uses backward carry propagation. In addition, it presents an altered 64-bit prescaled counter that generates prescaled enable signals by means of ring counters. Our proposed design shows considerable benefits over current approaches. Compared to the conventional technique, which has 131 area registers, 68 LUTs, and 66 IOBs, the suggested method uses 99 area registers, 65 LUTs, and 66 IOBs, reducing the area footprint in terms of hardware resources. Furthermore, the suggested architecture reduces latency; the current method's latency is 1.172 ns, but the new architecture's latency is 0.978 ns. Additionally, the suggested approach shows improved power efficiency, using only 0.00107 W as opposed to 0.0162 W for the current method. These findings demonstrate how well the suggested architecture performs in terms of improving performance metrics, which makes it a viable option for applications that call for synchronous binary counters that operate constantly with short clock periods.
