Applications of the Open-Source Hardware Arduino Platform in the Mining Industry: A Review

Abstract: In this study, applications of the Arduino platform in the mining industry were reviewed. Arduino, a representative and popular open-source hardware, can acquire information from various sensors, transmit data using communication technology, and control devices through actuators. The review was conducted by classifying previous studies into three types of Arduino applications: field monitoring systems, wearable systems, and autonomous systems. With regard to field monitoring systems, most studies in mines were classified as atmospheric or geotechnical monitoring. In wearable systems, the health status of the miner was an important consideration, in addition to the environmental conditions of the mine. Arduino can be a useful tool as an initial prototype for autonomous mine systems. Arduino has advantages in that it can be combined with various electronic products and is cost-effective. Therefore, although many studies have been conducted in the laboratory (as opposed to field tests), Arduino applications can be further expanded in the mining field in the future.

Fuzzy control of self‐balancing robots: A control laboratory project

Abstract: This paper presents a novel control laboratory project that provides hands‐on experience in feedback control concepts (embedded control systems) through dedicated assignments, with a particular focus on the design and implementation of fuzzy control. The project is structured around an inexpensive, portable self‐balancing robot (SBR), whose embedded system is realized using commercially available breakout boards as the first assignment. For the stabilization of the plant, students are guided to execute the essential stages of control system design, from system modeling and parameter optimization, over basic or advanced control strategy design in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, to both implementation and validation of the closed loop on the real robot. To demonstrate and foster the application of fuzzy logic, the second part of the paper introduces a simple control strategy based on fuzzy logic controllers. Then, a lookup table‐based implementation technique is described for the demonstration of manual interfacing and embedded coding of fuzzy control strategies. The proposed methods are clear and straightforward; they highly foster the understanding of feedback control techniques and allow students to gain vast knowledge in the practical implementations of control systems.

Greenhouse Monitoring and Automation Using Arduino: a Review on Precision Farming and Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract: The 21st century became the beginning of the development of information technology, where one of the revolutions was the presence of the Internet of Things. Internet of Things or abbreviated as IoT is a technology that combines electronic devices, sensors, and the internet to manage data and applications. The Internet of Things can be adopted in agriculture for crop management as a media for monitoring and controlling, especially in greenhouses and is called Precision Farming. The application of precision farming will be more effective in a greenhouse because it is easier to engineer similar environmental conditions. IoT development in greenhouses is using Arduino Microcontroller or Raspberry Pi Microcomputer. These devices are used because the price is low and easy to get on the market and can be designed so that technicians who have limited information technology knowledge can run it. To be able to manage greenhouses with IoT requires sensors as five senses that can detect changes that occur in the greenhouse. By using sensors, the hardware can detect what is happening in the greenhouse and make decisions based on the data acquired. Some sensors that are often used in Precision Farming are temperature and humidity sensors, soil moisture sensors, and light sensors. In the Internet of Things, the data that has been acquired by the hardware will then be transmitted wirelessly. The wireless connections used are Bluetooth, ZigBee Protocol, and Wi-Fi, where Bluetooth and Zigbee connections have a short distance between 10 - 100 meters, while Wi-Fi has a longer distance especially when connected to the Internet. The purpose of this paper is to understand the advantages and challenges of adopting IoT-based Precision Farming for monitoring and automation.

A Wireless-controlled 3D printed Robotic Hand Motion System with Flex Force Sensors

Abstract: Hand gesture recognition is an emerging field of technology in robotics and human-computer interaction. It has tremendous applications in daily life activities and intelligent workplaces. In this study, a system which could help people to work and operate without directly using hands or contacting by hands, is proposed and demonstrated. This system composed of a glove with flexible force sensors and a 3D printed robotic forearm. The user wearing the glove could control the action of the 3D printed robotic forearm. The 3D printed forearm simultaneously acted following the motion of the glove. The 3D printed forearm was composed of 46 individual parts that were printed with white biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA). Electronic components in the system are five flex sensors, a master Arduino Nano, a slave Arduino Nano, a wireless NRF24L01 transmitter module banding on the glove, a second wireless NRF24L01 receiver module in the forearm and five motors. The five flex sensors on the fingers of the glove detected and collected the signals reflecting the movements of the hands. The Arduino Nano processed the signals from the flex sensors and sent them through the wireless transmitter module to the slave Arduino Nano. In order to control the action of the robotic forearm, it was embedded with a slave Arduino Nano as a control kernel, a wireless NRF24L01 receiver module and five actuators. The slave Arduino Nano received and processed the signals through the wireless receiver module. After that, the signals were sent to the actuators- servo motors. The fingers’ action in the robotics arm was executed with the actuators. After carefully testing the system, the robotic arm followed the action correctly with a maximum 0.133 ms time delay all the time. This system could be really useful for the users who work in dangerous conditions, hazardous environment or require remote operation for safety reasons.

An Approach to Industrial Automation Based on Low-Cost Embedded Platforms and Open Software

Abstract: This paper presents a performance evaluation of the development of the instrumentation, communications and control systems of a two-tank process by using low-cost hardware and open source software. The hardware used for automating this process consists of embedded platforms (Arduino and Raspberry Pi) integrated into programmable logic controllers (PLCs), which are connected to a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system implemented with an open source Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform. The main purpose of the proposed approach is to evaluate low-cost automation solutions (hardware and software) within the framework of modern industry requirements in order to determine whether these technologies could be enabling factors of IIoT. The proposed control strategy for regulating tank levels combines the classic PID algorithm and the fuzzy gain scheduling PID (FGS-PID) approach. Fault detection capabilities are also enabled for the system through a fault detection and diagnosis module (FDD) implemented with an extended Kalman filter (EKF). The distributed controller’s (DC) algorithms are embedded into the PLC’s processors in order to demonstrate the flexibility of the proposed system. Additionally, a remote human to machine interface (HMI) is deployed through a web client of the IIoT application. Experimental results show the proper operation of the overall system.

3D Printed Low-Cost Force-Torque Sensors

Abstract: Force sensing is essential for many manipulation tasks and, more generally, for all robots physically interacting with their environment. While multi-axis force/torque sensors are readily available commercially, their cost and complex integration have so far limited a wide deployment. In this paper, we introduce a modular approach to design and to integrate low-cost force sensors directly into 3D printed robot parts. Based on off-the-shelf optical sensors embedded into deformable structures, sensitivity and load capacity can be selected from a wide range. A working six-axis sensor, including electronics, can be built for less than 20 dollars, plus a few hours of 3D printing. We present tested example designs for sensors of different complexity, from a basic one-dimensional deflecting beam to six-axis sensors with custom shapes. We summarize the basic sensor layout geometries, explain key 3D printing and integration aspects, discuss sensor calibration, and describe our Arduino firmware and ROS-based drivers.
