The mobile robot navigation is the next huge topic after positioning utilizing fingerprinting-based Wireless Positioning System (WPS). Many of recent works does not discuss this topic yet since many open problems in positioning topic are not yet solved, for instance the issues on multi-devices heterogeneity, instability of WiFi signals, granularity problems in grid-based indoor environment and many others. However, we anticipate that both positioning and navigation works must run in parallel so that the succession are guaranteed. This paper describes the analysis of spatio-temporal data of the signal obtained from the WiFi Access Point. Initial results suggest that the difference between transmitter heights have an effect on the spatio-temporal data while the handover of maximum signal strengths is inherent when three WiFi APs are used.

Fracture is the separation of an object into two or more pieces caused by crack growth under the action of applied stress. There are many different methods for fracture evaluation has been made but still lacks information on properties of Aluminium 6026-T9. Aluminium 6026 is non-toxic since it does not contain Tin (Sn) and features a great corrosion resistance. This study focuses on the mechanical properties and fracture toughness of Aluminium 6026-T9. The material is cut and shaped into dog-bone specimens by referring the ASTM E8 and was eventually undergoing a tensile test to evaluate the mechanical properties. A linear elastic analysis of three different crack characteristics which are single edge crack, double edge crack and center crack were performed in Mode I analysis to evaluate its fracture toughness. The stress intensity factor (SIF) value near the crack tip obtained from the simulation process were then compared with analytical value and had been discussed. The percentage of error found that the numerical and analytical values are closed to each other.

The wireless data collection for instance the Received Signal Strength (RSS) of the Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) remained unfavourable in the Indoor Positioning System utilizing the signal fingerprinting approach. This is because the enormous sampling time and routines works making it tedious human labour. To alleviate this issue, we propose to use a robot for wireless data collection. The robot, named 'ICSiBOT' is a service robot with multiple purpose such as assisting human in daily lives, guest or hospitality robot and man others. This paper mainly describes the ICSiBOT robot face with speech recognition technology and the integration of the robot face to the motion controller. The experimental was conducted to see the correlation between the synthesized instructions from the speech in terms of distance need to be travelled i.e., the location for wireless signal collection and translate them into actual distance travelled. The results showed that the robot is able to travel to the specific distance as instructed to the robot face.

We have designed a service robot that can be used for Wi-Fi RSSI Fingerprint database construction for indoor positioning system. This work aims to aid and ease the signal fingerprint database construction process which currently conducted manually by carrying the data acquisition tools around the experimental field. The robot architecture design considered the values and constraint in performance, aesthetic, cost, and expandability. Analysis of the robot's mobile specification was made in order to choose the optimum hardware components. The robot has three main sections which are mobile platform, storage compartment, and user interactive screen that is capable to display facial expression and other useful information.

Waterjet Technology has been used vastly in our world nowadays due to its advantages and it can be implemented in many industrial sectors or even in the medical sector and food industry sector. Nozzle is a component that has been utilized in waterjet which is employed in a wide range of engineering applications to control the rate of flow, velocity, and the jet pressure of the water. This paper discusses the CFD analysis on a pure waterjet nozzle to obtain the output of the water that jets out from three different diameters of nozzle and select the effective nozzle diameter to be used for the fruit peeling and cutting process. The pressure used for the analysis are 200MPa, 300MPa and 400MPa, which was analysed for three different nozzle diameter 0.76mm, 1.02mm and 1.27mm. From CFD analysis, it is established that as the pressure loss of the water jet increases, the outlet velocity of the jet increases. Furthermore, for fruit peeling and cutting process the impact angle of the nozzle should be prioritised as the peeling of the fruit should be smooth and even before cutting the fruit. Thus, the most suitable parameters were found to be 400MPa and 1.02mm of pressure and nozzle diameter respectively. This will allow for the intended fruit cutting process with a stand-off distance that can be ranged from 1mm to 9mm.

Indoor positioning system has been an essential work to substitute the Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS utilizing Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) cannot provide an accurate positioning in the indoor due to the multipath effect and shadow fading. Fingerprinting method with Wi-Fi technology is a promising system to solve this issue. However, there are several problems with the fingerprinting method. The fingerprinting database collected has different sample sizes where the previous researcher does not indicate any standard for the sample size to be used. In this paper, the effect of the sample sizes in fingerprinting database for Wi-Fi technology has been discussed deeply. The statistical analyzation for different sample sizes has been analyzed. Furthermore, two methods which are K- Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Deep Neural Network (DNN) are being used to examine the effect of the sample sizes in term of accuracy and distance error. The discussion in this paper will contribute to the better sample size selection depending on the method taken by the user. The result shows that sample sizes are an important metrics in developing the indoor positioning system as it effects the result of the location estimation.

Mobile robots must have the ability to guarantee safety for operation in a dynamic environment and close to other moving objects. There are many research had been conducted to make the robot safer by utilizing sensors and big data technology to make the mobile robot able to navigate autonomously and intelligently. One of the key elements in autonomous robots is communication between robots. In this paper, device-to-device (D2D) technology has been used to develop communication between robots. To establish the algorithm for D2D communications, radio frequency (RF) used as communication protocols that can perform D2D communication in real-time applications. The performance of D2D communication was then be assessed in terms of distance and latency. RF transceiver module has been mounted on the robot with Arduino to allow communication between mobile robot to other mobile robots in order to transfer data from robot's sensors to the other mobile robots. By utilizing the gathered information and data, the robot can assess its surroundings and predict the movement of other robots to avoid collisions between robots. The results show that the RF transceiver module is capable to send and receive data between two robots with latency up to 4.865s. It is envisaged that the proposed module can be very useful for developing D2D communication between robots to operate in dynamic environments.
