Abstract Mobile service robots (MSRs) in hospital environments require precise and robust trajectory tracking to ensure reliable operation under dynamic conditions, including model uncertainties and external disturbances. This study presents a cognitive control strategy that integrates a Numerical Feedforward Inverse Dynamic Controller (NFIDC) with a Feedback Radial Basis Function Neural Network (FRBFNN). The robot’s mechanical structure was designed in SolidWorks 2022 SP2.0 and validated under operational loads using finite element analysis in ANSYS 2022 R1. The NFIDC-FRBFNN framework merges proactive inverse dynamic compensation with adaptive neural learning to achieve smooth torque responses and accurate motion control.… More >

Abstract The rise in convenience packaging has led to generation of enormous waste, making efficient waste sorting crucial for sustainable waste management. To address this, we developed DWaste, a computer vision-powered platform designed for real-time waste sorting on resource-constrained smartphones and edge devices, including offline functionality. We benchmarked various image classification models (EfficientNetV2S/M, ResNet50/101, MobileNet) and object detection (YOLOv8n, YOLOv11n) including our purposed YOLOv8n-CBAM model using our annotated dataset designed for recycling. We found a clear trade-off between accuracy and resource consumption: the best classifier, EfficientNetV2S, achieved high accuracy (≈96%) but suffered from high latency More >

Abstract In scenarios where ground-based cloud computing infrastructure is unavailable, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) act as mobile edge computing (MEC) servers to provide on-demand computation services for ground terminals. To address the challenge of jointly optimizing task scheduling and UAV trajectory under limited resources and high mobility of UAVs, this paper presents PER-MATD3, a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning algorithm with prioritized experience replay (PER) into the Centralized Training with Decentralized Execution (CTDE) framework. Specifically, PER-MATD3 enables each agent to learn a decentralized policy using only local observations during execution, while leveraging a shared replay buffer with More >

Abstract Image captioning, a pivotal research area at the intersection of image understanding, artificial intelligence, and linguistics, aims to generate natural language descriptions for images. This paper proposes an efficient image captioning model named Mob-IMWTC, which integrates improved wavelet convolution (IMWTC) with an enhanced MobileNet V3 architecture. The enhanced MobileNet V3 integrates a transformer encoder as its encoding module and a transformer decoder as its decoding module. This innovative neural network significantly reduces the memory space required and model training time, while maintaining a high level of accuracy in generating image descriptions. IMWTC facilitates large receptive… More >

Abstract Mobile financial applications and payment systems face significant security challenges from reverse engineering attacks. Attackers can decompile Android Package Kit (APK) files, modify permissions, and repackage applications with malicious capabilities. This work introduces E-AAPIV (Enhanced Android Apps Permissions Integrity Verifier), an advanced framework that uses Merkle Tree technology for real-time manifest integrity verification. The proposed system constructs cryptographic Merkle Tree from AndroidManifest.xml permission structures. It establishes secure client-server connections using Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman Protocol (ECDH-P384) key exchange. Root hashes are encrypted with Advanced Encryption Standard-256-Galois/Counter Mode (AES-256-GCM), integrated with hardware-backed Android Keystore for enhanced security. More >
