Preface


  • In this paper, we present a parity space-based fault diagnosability analysis scheme for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with linear discrete time-varying (LDTV) dynamics. Robust residual generato ... Read More

  • In virtual reality, virtual weight perception allows users to perform tasks more precisely and enhances immersion. In this paper, we propose a variable offset (VO) method based on a five-finger p ... Read More

  • A deep neural network (DNN) is a machine learning tool that mimics the functioning of the neurons in the human brain. DNN can detect smoke and thus provide early warnings regarding wildfires befo ... Read More

  • As buildings become increasingly complex and aging infrastructures persist in modern cities, the risk of diverse disaster scenarios has grown significantly. To address the safety challenges assoc ... Read More

  • Wind turbine blades endure persistent operational stresses, including aerodynamic loads, cyclic fatigue, and environmental corrosion, leading to structural defects such as cracks, perforations, a ... Read More

  • Various efforts have been made to automate irrigation systems, however, there still exists a problem of an impending water crisis that was reported by the World Bank wherein the Philippines was o ... Read More

  • In this study, we address key limitations in RGB–depth (D) sensing systems, including depth noise, sensor misalignment, missing depth values, and performance degradation under low illumination. ... Read More

  • The surge in multiperson sports videos has increased the demand for automated behavior recognition systems capable of understanding group-level activities. Recognizing collective behaviors such a ... Read More

  • In intelligent healthcare monitoring, vision-based sensing offers a practical route for non-contact medical diagnostics, yet tongue-coating assessment in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-relate ... Read More

  • Reliable emotion recognition from acoustic sensor signals is a pivotal yet challenging component for achieving natural and empathetic human–robot interaction. We propose a dedicated, deployable ... Read More

  • Sensor noise significantly degrades the trajectory tracking accuracy of robotic manipulators. In this paper, we propose a closed-loop control strategy based on multisensor fusion and an extended ... Read More

  • As machine learning (ML) models are increasingly used in high-stakes domains, improving both predictive performance and fairness has become an important research problem. Existing explanation-bas ... Read More
