Uncalibrated Visual Servoing For Spatial Under-Constrained Cable-Driven Parallel Robots, Jarrett-Scott K. Jenny, Matt Marshall

Faculty Articles

Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) offer large workspaces with minimal infrastructure, but their control becomes difficult when the platform is under-constrained and sensing is limited. This paper investigates uncalibrated visual servoing (UVS) with a single monocular camera, asking whether simple global static Jacobians (GSJ) can be sufficient and how an adaptive Jacobian estimator behaves. Two platforms are evaluated: a three-cable (3C) platform and a redundant six-cable du-al-plane platform (RC). Motion-capture (MoCap) validation shows that redundancy improves stability and tracking by reducing platform tilt and making image errors correspond more directly to Cartesian motions. Across static and low-speed tracking tasks, GSJ proved …

Detecting Electrical Submersible Pump (Esp) Failures And Estimating Run Life Using Artificial Neural Networks, Mostafa Ahmed Sobhy

Theses and Dissertations

Electric Submersible Pumps (ESPs) are one of the important artificial lift methods for sustaining production in mature and high-water-cut wells; but may suffer frequent failures due to mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, chemical, and operational failures. These failures can yield substantial deferred production and intervention costs. Plenty of ESP installations are fitted with downhole sensors. Yet, it is observed that the current industry practice underutilizes the wealth of available sensor and operational data and lacks standardized, explainable failure-type identification and classification.

Iraqi Journal for Computer Science and Mathematics

Fruit tree lease contracts are a prevalent economic practice in Indonesia, especially within rural communities. This study addresses the challenge of establishing equitable contract prices for both lessees and tree owners, specifically by integrating the inherent uncertainties associated with crop yield and fruit price fluctuations. To achieve this, we develop and employ two distinct models: Fixed-Time Discount Model (FTD) and the Dynamic-Time Discount Model (DTD). Each model is mathematically formulated, leveraging a Poisson distribution to capture yield uncertainty and a Uniform distribution to represent fruit price variability. Through computations, we evaluate the impact of key parameters - average yield ( …

Iraqi Journal for Computer Science and Mathematics

Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSNs) have emerged as a promising technology for a wide range of ocean monitoring applications. The UWSNs suffer from unique challenges of the underwater environment, such as dynamic and sparse network topology, which can easily lead to a partitioned network. This results in hotspot formation and the absence of the routing path from the source to the destination. Therefore, to optimize the network lifetime and limit the possibility of hotspot formation along the data transmission path, the need to plan a traffic-aware protocol is raised. In this research, we propose a traffic-aware routing protocol called PG-RES, …

Publications

As enterprises increasingly aim to incorporate artificial intelligence into their workflows to tackle complex, multimodal tasks, the demand for intelligent, robust, and trustworthy systems is paramount. While multimodal large language models offer initial capabilities for processing diverse data streams, their dependence on embedding-based representations limit their effectiveness in delivering semantically grounded explanations and reasoning, as well as qualities essential for enterprise-grade applications. Neurosymbolic approaches provide a promising alternative by enabling traceable, context-aware decision making. However, constructing enterprise-level multimodal knowledge graphs (MMKGs) that enable neurosymbolic approaches remains largely impractical. Although prior efforts have explored MMKG construction, they fall short in addressing …
