Research on game development frameworks has been extensively conducted; however, most frameworks are still too general. Conventional game frameworks are challenging for students who are new to game development, especially with their limited information and skills. Beginner game developers should ideally be guided by a practical and specific framework to help them better understand the structure of game development in a more directed manner. This paper proposes platformer modular and agile framework (Platforma) that specifically designed for platformer game development. The framework is built based on the atomic design model, breaking down each minor feature of a platformer game element and grouping these features into more specific modules. The framework was tested on three teams of students. Each team was tasked with developing a platformer game with a minimum of 15 levels of the reach game goals typology. Testing results involving 100 respondents using the game experience questionnaire (GEQ) indicated that the games developed had a positive aspect score of 3.48 and a negative aspect score of 2.65. Overall, these results suggest that the Platforma can serve as an effective guide for beginners in developing platformer games.

This study proposes an Aquila optimization–based tilt acceleration derivative filter (AO-TADF) controller for robust regulation of blood glucose (BG) levels in patients with type-I diabetes mellitus (TIDM) using an artificial pancreas (AP). The primary objective is to develop a controller that ensures normo-glycemia (70–120 mg/dl) while enhancing stability, accuracy, and robustness under physiological uncertainties and external disturbances. The AO algorithm tunes the control gains of the TADF controller to minimize the integral time absolute error (ITAE), ensuring optimal insulin infusion in real time. The AO-TADF controller introduces a filtered structure to improve the dynamic response and noise rejection capability, effectively handling the nonlinear nature of glucose-insulin dynamics. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves a faster settling time (230 minutes), lower peak overshoot (3.9 mg/dl), and reduced noise (1%) compared to conventional proportional integral derivative (PID), fuzzy, sliding mode (SM), linear quadratic gaussian (LQG), and H∞ controllers. The closed-loop system achieves a stable glucose level of 81 mg/dl under varying meal and exercise disturbances, validating the superior performance and robustness of the AO-TADF approach.

Previous ankle physiotherapy robots, called picobot rely on predefined trajectories continuous passive movement without considering patient intent, limiting the encouragement of user-intent motion. This study then integrates electromyography (EMG) signals as triggers into picobot with an ankle velocity-based control system. The upgraded robot activates movement in specific gait phases based on muscle activity, synchronizing therapy with the patient’s intent. Functionality test on 7 young male healthy subjects investigates leg muscles, such as Tibialis Anterior, Soleus, and Gastrocnemius muscles for the most significantly contribute to ankle movements. Then, the muscle is tested to trigger picobot movements. Functionality tests revealed the Tibialis muscle significantly contributes to gait phases 2, the Soleus is prominent in phases 3 and 4, and gastrocnemius is active on phase 1. The robot successfully performs plantarflexion when EMG signals exceed a 1.58 V threshold, reaching a target position of -0.11 rad at a constant velocity of -0.62 rad/s. These findings establish a foundation for future trials since patient testing has not yet been conducted. By promoting active participation, this innovation has the potential to enhance rehabilitation outcomes. Incorporating user-intent triggers may accelerate recovery and improve healthcare accessibility in Indonesia, offering a significant advancement in physiotherapy technologies.

Deep learning models increasing computational requirements have increased the demand for specialized hardware architectures that can provide high performance while using less energy. Because of their high-power consumption, low throughput, and incapacity to handle real-time processing demands, general-purpose processors frequently fall short. In order to overcome these obstacles, this work introduces a hardware-efficient multiplier design for deep learning processing unit (DPU). To improve performance and energy efficiency, the suggested architecture combines low-power arithmetic circuits, parallel processing units, and optimized dataflow mechanisms. Neural network core operations, such as matrix computations and activation functions, are performed by dedicated hardware blocks. By minimizing data movement, an effective on-chip memory hierarchy lowers latency and power consumption. According to simulation results using industry-standard very large-scale integration (VLSI) tools, compared to traditional processors, there is a 25% decrease in latency, a 40% increase in computational throughput, and a 30% reduction in power consumption. Architecture’s scalability and modularity guarantee compatibility with a variety of deep learning applications, such as edge computing, autonomous systems, and internet of things devices.

Convolutional neural network-based hybrid beamforming design based on energy efficiency for mmWave M-MIMO systems

10.11591/ijece.v15i6.pp5443-5452

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (M- MIMO) technology brings significant improvements in data transmission rates for communication systems. A key to the design of mmWave M-MIMO systems is beamforming techniques, which focus signals toward specific directions but rely on expensive, energy-intensive radio frequency (RF) chains. To address this issue, hybrid beamformers (HB) have been introduced as a partial solution, and deep learning (DL) has proven effective for HB design. However, previous works utilizing machine learning (ML) networks have primarily focused on the spectral efficiency (SE) metric for constructing HB. In this paper, we present a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture whose loss function is defined to maximize energy efficiency (EE) directly. The network jointly learns analog and digital beamformers by evaluating EE (throughput per total power, including phase shifters, switches, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), and RF chains) and selecting the configuration that yields the highest EE. The CNN takes a channel matrix as input and outputs RF and baseband beamformer matrices. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed M-MIMO EE scheme, achieving significant EE improvements by optimizing hybrid precoding and reducing RF chain usage.

This research investigates and compares two nonlinear current-control strategies, backstepping control (BSC) and finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) for machine-side and grid-side converters in grid-connected direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generator (DD-PMSG) wind turbines. Addressing the control challenges in wind energy systems with varying speeds, the study aims to determine which strategy offers superior performance under identical operating conditions. The nonlinear BSC regulates stator and grid currents using Lyapunov-based techniques, while FCS-MPC leverages model predictions to select optimal switching states based on a cost function. A comprehensive simulation using MATLAB/Simulink is conducted, analyzing each controller’s transient behavior, steady-state response, torque ripple, and power quality total harmonic distortion (THD). Results show that FCS-MPC achieves faster convergence, lower overshoot, and superior power quality compared to BSC, though it requires higher computational resources. Statistical validation supports the robustness of FCS-MPC under parameter uncertainties. This work contributes a structured comparison of advanced nonlinear strategies for PMSG-based wind turbines and provides a foundation for future implementations in real-time embedded control systems. Future directions include experimental validation and hybrid model predictive controller- artificial intelligence (MPC-AI) control frameworks.

Hanafy M. Ali , Adel F. El-Kabbany , Yahia B. Hassan
The quality of service (QoS) in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) plays a crucial role in optimizing overall network resource utilization. MANET routing protocols, fundamental to QoS, demand adaptive and swift solutions for efficient path searching. In this context, our paper introduces a novel algorithm based on MANETs, employing a hybrid approach that combines ant colony optimization (ACO) with hybrid multipath quality of service ant (HMQAnt) routing protocols. Our algorithm emphasizes bandwidth optimization as a pivotal factor for providing effective paths. By incorporating bandwidth as a significant parameter in the MANETs algorithm, we aim to enhance its overall properties. The proposed routing protocol, focusing on bandwidth optimization, is anticipated to improve the delivery of total network traffic. Evaluation of the algorithm's performance is conducted through QoS metrics, which are overhead, end-to-end delay, and jitter, throughputs, utilizing a MATLAB simulator. Simulation results indicate that our proposed routing protocol holds a distinct advantage compared to ad hoc on-demand distance vector (AODV), destination- sequenced distance (DSDV), dynamic source routing (DSR), and hybrid ant colony optimization-based (ACO) routing protocol called (ANTMANET) algorithms.
