Abstract

This report presents the development of a robotic arm for the efficient packaging of chocolates in a small-scale process. The robotic arm has a PRR (prismatic–rotational–rotational) configuration and uses a universal vacuum grip (UVG) to manipulate the chocolates with precision. Various materials and components were used, such as 3D-printed PLA parts for the mechanical elements and flexible TPU bands for optimal movement control. In terms of electronics, NEMA motors, an Arduino board, and a CNC interface were used for the precise control of the motors. The programming was conducted in Python and a graphical user interface (GUI) was created to manage the sequence of movements of the robotic arm. Key parameters, such as the accuracy in the placement of the chocolates, the grip strength, and the shape recovery ability were evaluated. The results demonstrate the successful integration of the robotic arm in the packaging process, achieving an efficient and consistent placement of the chocolates in the plastic trays. This project highlights the importance and potential of automation in the food packaging industry, by improving productivity, reducing human error, and ensuring packaging quality. The knowledge and results obtained in this project contribute to the field of robotics. Full article

Abstract

The proposed work offers a concise review of the application of machine learning (ML) to cellular network handovers (HO) via the Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) methodology, emphasizing the problem areas and requirements. The key points include the paramount role of high-quality data, with meticulous data acquisition and preprocessing as vital steps in ML dataset construction. The article identifies prevalent parameters for HO enhancement and underscores the diversity of ML algorithms, aligning them with specific data input and tasks. This study establishes a robust basis for forthcoming research in applying machine learning to cellular network HOs. Full article
