Enhancing the preparation of industrial training report through Report Repository System and Industrial Training Kit

Industrial Training Course (IMC690) is a mandatory course to be taken by seventh (7th) semester students of Information Systems Management programme (IM245). This course carries a high credit hour which weigh 12 credit hours. There are four (4) parts evaluated and the largest contributor is the industrial training report which consists of 40% marks. The problem occurs when students do not complete the report according to the date specified by the Faculty. Hence, late submission and marking of reports as well as low report scores have affected the students and lecturers. This study aims to reduce the percentage of industrial training report  late submission by introducing two (2) creative innovation projects namely the Industrial Training Report Repository (ITR2) System and Industrial Training Kit (IT Kit) as the solution. Based on research findings, the percentage of late submission in the preparation of the industrial training report has successfully reduced from 60% to 0% and indirectly led to an increase in percentage of final report scores; which exceeded 30%. The results from both innovations have proven to be a comprehensive reference sources that have helped the students in producing a high quality report that complies with standards.
Research and Development of a Technology Inheritance System using AR

Currently, the shortage of the working population is regarded as a problem with a declining birthrate and aging population in Japan. The estimated demand for labor in 2030 is about 70.73 million, while the supply is thought to be about 64.69 million. In the current situation, it is estimated that there will be a shortage of about 6.44 million. The four proposed ideas to fill the shortage are to increase the number of working women, seniors, foreigners, and increase productivity. It is presumed that increasing the productivity could reduce the shortage by about 2.98 million people. One of the solutions to increase the productivity is using succession management with young employees. However, the cost of technology transfer is high and it takes a lot of time, which is a serious problem Therefore, the development of an efficient technology transfer system is required. Machine tools require hands-free technology as an explanation of the operation method. Due to operation using hands. The purpose of this study is to develop a general-purpose lathe technique inheritance system using Augmented Reality (AR).

Flight Experiment for Seamless 90-Degree Attitude Transition Flight of a Quad Tilt-rotor UAV

With the addition of actuators, the quad tilt-rotor UAV allows independent control of position and attitude and can also hover with tilting attitude. However, to change the attitude from 0 degree to 90 degrees, the conventional control methods switched two control methods depending on the attitude. Therefore, a large overshoot and difficulty of hovering in certain tilting attitudes were observed. To solve the above issues, a seamless attitude transition control method has been developed and verified by numerical simulation. This paper describes the verification of the developed seamless attitude transition control method by flight experiment.
Goal-Conditioned Reinforcement Learning with Extended Floyd-Warshall method

Goal-conditioned reinforcement learning (GCRL) and graph search often have the same purpose. In other words, both aim to find a policy or a route to achieve a given goal. The former can accomplish complex tasks under uncertain environments, but tends to fail long-horizon binary reward tasks. On the other hand, the latter can calculate even a long-term route if environmental information such as a short-distance travel cost is given in advance. In this paper, we expand the Floyd-Warshall method, a graph search algorithm, for GCRL framework. We call it Extended Floyd-Warshall method. Moreover, we propose a new GCRL method that alternates between the conventional GCRL and the extended Floyd-Warshall method to handle long-distance binary reward tasks. We demonstrate that our method has outperformed the conventional GCRL methods by experiments in a grid maze environment.
Combating Sentence Construction Problems with 3D Tetrominoes

As Malaysia combats issues of literacy, geographical gaps and inadequacy of teachers, Malaysian ESL learners weak grasp of the writing skill is also proving to be a hurdle for Malaysia’s education ministry. Weak mastery of this skill results in plummeting achievement rates in national examinations. Through this research, the researcher hopes to combat the issues faced by ESL learners in the field of sentence construction. Without a solid foundation of sentence construction skills, accuracy of content in terms of meaning will not be evident. Therefore, the researcher aimed to identify the effectiveness of the 3D Tetrominoes technique in improving the ESL learners’ sentence construction skills as well as to elicit their perceptions on the application of the 3D Tetrominoes technique. This qualitative action research was conducted with eight intermediate Year 5 participants from a sub-urban school in Hulu Selangor. Data collection methods included document analysis, interviews and observations which were analysed descriptively. The findings showed improvement in the ESL learners’ sentence construction skills and elicited positive perceptions on the use of the 3D Tetrominoes technique in creating fun and effective learning sessions to increase sentence construction skills. It is evident that ESL learners struggle with mastering writing skills, particularly in the area of sentence construction. It is hoped through this research that teachers would diversify their teaching and learning techniques to facilitate ESL learners’ learning.
Gripping Target Detection in Terrain Based on Geometrical Configuration of a Gripper for Free-Climbing Robots

In recent years, lunar skylights, thought to be entrances to lava tubes, have been discovered, and their future exploration is hoped to be conducted by robots. However, conventional wheeled mobile robots are unable to traverse rough, steep and rocky terrain. In our laboratory we have developed a four-limbed robot with spine-type grippers that is able to hold such terrain, and demonstrated climbing capabilities of the robot experimentally under manual operation. In order to achieve autonomous operation, the robot is required to undertake 3D terrain sensing. In this paper, we present a method for detecting grippable targets within the terrain based on the geometrical configuration of the gripper, and show experimentally that the developed method is able to effectively distinguish between convex, grippable shapes.
Improving the effectiveness of learning military concepts through interactive methods

The information and knowledge accumulated by mankind over the centuries should be assimilated and enriched by each new generation and serve the development of society. The acquisition of accumulated information and knowledge is a very complex process and should be organized only on a scientific basis. But every process is a social phenomenon. Therefore, it has its own rules and characteristics. The didactic department of pedagogy deals with the study, analysis of the rules of the educational process and the search for new areas of knowledge, the development of effective methods of their acquisition. Philosophy, psychology, and physiology also study the educational process, human cognition, and the phenomena of thinking. However, didactics approaches these issues as a specialized science and conducts research. Didactics deals with all aspects of education, its organization, acquisition of knowledge, definition of the content of education, methods and rules of teaching.
Development of Operation System Using Gaze and Face Information for Electric Wheelchair and Feature Extraction of Users

In this research, we examined an operation support method by gaze input using gaze amount histogram. In order to accurately identify the direction the user wishes to move and the direction which the attention is directed, in the gaze driving, estimation system based on the gaze amount histogram was constructed and a running experiment was performed. As a result, showed no significant difference in the traveling route compared to the conventional method, but the subjects’ questionnaire resulted in a higher score than the conventional method in terms of safety. Therefore, it was possible to confirm the effectiveness of the operation support method using the gaze amount histogram.
End effector for opening a door with a door closer using a robotic arm mounted on a powered wheelchair

Doors are one of the barriers for powered wheelchairs in daily life. It is hard for elderly people and people who have hemiplegic upper limb to open a door by themselves. A robotic arm mounted on a powered wheelchair can help opening a door. However, opening a door using a robotic arm requires difficult operations. Particularly, opening a door with a door closer needs difficult operations. Accident that a powered wheelchairs and a robotic arm collide with a door may happen. In this report, we propose a methodology of opening a door with a door closer. And we propose an end effector that can reduce the number of procedures for opening a door more easily.
Hidden QR Code in Arbitrary Image Using Convolutional Neural Network

In this paper, the author aims to embed arbitrary information in arbitrary images and restore them using convolutional neural networks. To achieve this goal, we propose two sets of CNN models for embedding and restoring information in images.Thanks to the error correction nature of QR code, embedded information is expected to be restored without errors. However, in the previous model, the proposed method could only be applied to blurred images. This time, the model has been improved so that the QR code can be embedded in a high-resolution image and restored.
Object grasping robot instruction method using laser light drag method based on grouping of object shapes

We have been studying a support robot teaching method to grasp a various shape object in our living space by clicking with a TOF laser pointer. But because the selection of gripping object used for the experiment was ad hoc, the criterion of the grasp-ability for any shape object was unclear. As a result, types of grippable objects had significant limitations. In this paper, as a first step to clarify the criteria, we focused on cuboid as gripping shape, performed comprehensive grouping with respect to three side length ratio, proposed grasp teaching method applicable to each group, and demonstrated its effectiveness.

A puck trajectory is predicted from the previous trajectory captured by a high-speed camera attached over an air hockey table, and it is displayed on the table by a DLP projector. Experiments show that the display of a predicted trajectory has a positive effect on the ability of hitting a puck.
INCREASING THE COMPETENCY REQUIREMENTS OF UNIVERSITY GRADUATES IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY

In the context of globalization of business, the requirements for the integration of information systems are increasing, and as a result, the level of competence of university graduates both for areas related to IT and for areas that have no relation to IT, including management and economics.In the transition to the information society, i.e. in the context of the digitalization of the economy, as is commonly believed, the process of the release of labor resources, consider these processes. When replacing manual labor, new progressive equipment appears, specialists should be involved both for the development of this equipment, and for its maintenance. Software must be written for the equipment. The requirements for specialists who work with the use of this equipment are changing, and their training may not include special requirements for IT knowledge. The introduction of IT reduces the routine work, but at the same time, business processes change by introducing digital technologies into production processes, management processes and supporting business processes. The level of requirements for the information culture of specialists, including the competencies of university graduates, is increasing.New requirements for IT competencies of specialists who work in conditions of widespread use of digital technologies and must create and use software products in their work, maintain hardware and communications, are increasing. Training in these conditions should be aimed at advancing, which is expressed in the practical application of IT in the framework of the educational process. The use of project training as part of the implementation of E-learning and M-learning allows us to make the process of applying IT basic, used not only for solving basic problems, but also for implementing the communication process.The use of game mechanics when introducing electronic educational resources into the educational process also allows mastering and fixing the basic requirements for specialists at the level of universal competencies as part of the development of the digital economy. The widespread use of mobile applications, when switching to M-learning technologies, also enhances the development of IT competencies at a basic level and consolidates them in carrying out practical tasks.

A Study on Generating Fake Images of Podocyte Cells Based on Acgans with Restriction of Learning

In general, we need a lot of data for improving the accuracy of machine learning. However, the number of biological samples what we can obtain are not enough for machine learning. This problem exists in the classification of glomerular epithelial cells with the progress of disease, and its accuracy is contrary to our intuitive impression. Therefore, we would like to improve the accuracy by generating a lot of fake images using Generative Adversarial Nets (GANs). About podocyte cells, it was difficult to obtain an arbitrary disease by previous method. In this paper, we propose the model with restriction of learning by shapes information based on ACGANs, and we investigate how much fake images generated by our method are similar to real images. According to the results, the passage number of fake images by our method is 17% higher than conventional method.
Development and Evaluation of a Quadrotor UAV Equipped with Dual-axis Tilting Mechanisms

A quad tilt rotor UAV is known as one of advanced systems of the conventional multirotor UAV. The quad tilt rotor UAV enables independent control of position and attitude, and flight in a 90-degree attitude state. However, the quad tilt rotor UAV has the drawbacks of thrust loss and difficult flight at certain attitude. As a solution to these issues, this paper proposes a quadrotor UAV with dual-axis tilting mechanisms which rotate thrust direction in two axes. This paper describes the developed airframe and its control law, and verifies the performance of the developed UAV by numerical simulation and flight experiments.
Force and Impedance Control for Automatic Violin Performance

Bowing a string requires not only the control of the position and velocity of the bow but also the control of impedance. Once the string starts vibrating, the vibration propagates through the bow to the arm holding the bow. The impedance must be controlled in order to suppress this vibration.Therefore, this paper proposes the use of force and impedance control for reproducing the task of violin performance.The first experiment aims to identify the range of force and velocity necessary for the string to follow a periodic motion.Within the range, the second experiment examines the relationship between impedance gains and the timbre of the violin. In the last experiment, the performance of the robot is compared with the performance of an experienced violin player. Through the experiments, this paper verifies the effectiveness of force and impedance control in reproducing violin performance.
CbR Hand: Cardboard Robot Hand

CbR Hand is a tendon-driven robot hand that incorporates an origami structure and can be manufactured from a single piece of cardboard, so it can be used widely from primary education to higher education. In this paper, we describe the method of manufacturing it, the mechanical properties of its fingers, and the evaluation of gripping performance. The evaluation experiment showed that CbR Hand can be gripped daily necessities with a mass of less than 200g and the same size as the hand.
Self-Monitoring Obfuscated IoT Network

Internet of Things (IoT) has made automation cheaper and widespread, and future cities will be heavily dependent on it. Although IoT has made our life easier by providing hassle-free services and requiring negligible maintenance, it is vulnerable to hacking and physical abuse. In this paper, various protocols for secure communication between IoT and servers have been proposed. The communication takes place by using dual layers; one uses conventional communication techniques whereas the other uses a steganography channel for covert communication. These devices share their current status among each other, building a large AI network that can sense hacking and suspicious behaviour, and take necessary actions to keep the integrity of the system. The obfuscated behaviour of the network was demonstrated using various machine learning classifiers whose job was to correctly identify images that have a signature embedded within it.
Competitive physical interaction by reinforcement learning agents using predictive models

Though there are a lot of researches about Physical Human-robot Interaction (pHRI) using prediction, few researches work on inducing the opponent’s action or outwitting the opponent. We made the push-hand game environment in order to focus on generating strategic actions and tried to make reinforcement learning agents to learn these actions by adding rewards which are directly proportional to the degree of inducement (induction reward) or the degree of outwitting (outwitting reward), defined in this research. As a result, we demonstrated that the induction reward decreases the agent’s predictive error and the outwitting reward increases the opponent’s predictive error, and both of them didn’t contribute to the winning percentage.
Design and development of inspection robot for monorail track and girder

Natural disasters such as typhoons or earthquakes cause serious damage to many social infrastructures. In the case that transportation networks such as highways or railways are stricken with natural disasters, it is important to confirm safety of road or track. The monorail which is one of the important transportation infrastructures in urban areas also should be checked carefully for the safety of its track. In this case, it is desired that the check of track is remote to ensure the safety of workers. The objective of our research is to develop an unmanned self-propelled robot that can check the condition of track and girder. In our research, we have produced a reduced model of the robot in order to test operation methods, devices or systems which will be implied to the full-scale robot. In this paper, the basic design of the robot and developed reduced model are presented.
Jan Terje Faarlund: <i>The Syntax of Mainland Scandinavian</i>

With the publication of this book, Jan Terje Faarlund, professor emeritus of Scandinavian Linguistics at the University of Oslo, makes a comparative overview of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish available to linguists who are unable to read these languages. I believe this is the first book of its kind. To find a similar attempt we have to go back to the 1940s when Lage Hulthen published his comprehensive comparison of the syntax of Nordic languages, see Hulthen (1944, 1947). Hulthen’s study is however written in Swedish and is based on written sources mainly from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. The main sources for Faarlund’s book are the three reference grammars published in Norwegian, Swedish and Danish between 1997 and 2011: Norsk referansegrammatikk (Faarlund, Lie & Vannebo, 1997, abbreviated NRG), Svenska Akademiens grammatik (Teleman, Hellberg & Andersson 1999, abbreviated SAG) and Grammatik over det Danske Sprog (Hansen & Heltoft 2011, abbreviated GDS). These grammars are accessible to linguists who speak any one of the described languages, whereas the primary intended readership for Faarlund’s new book is presumably the linguistic community outside Scandinavia. This is also the reason why this review is written in English.
