Determining the optimal trajectory of a manipulator is a mathematically complex part of control due to the time-consuming determination of inverse kinematics, the complexity of which increases as the manipulator's degrees of freedom increase. The control of manipulator actuators is based on algorithms focusing on the shortest possible control time and zero position deviation. Values such as power consumption, which affect the growth of the carbon footprint, are not taken into account. For this reason, alternative ...

The growing number of wind farms is creating an increased demand for their trouble-free operation. Damage to their components can be catastrophic. A particular component that can be subject to damage during long-term operation and is difficult to diagnose is the mechanical gearbox located in the turbine. Traditional approaches to the subject of damage detection require, in the final stage, the involvement of an expert. Therefore, the article proposes a method based on the Deep Learning solution. A transfer learnin...

A severe problem affecting urban areas is a large number of stray animals, either r eject- ed by their owners or born in the wild. These animals face the problem of malnutrition, as it is difficult for them to obtain food without human help in urban conditions. The fact that shelters are overcrowded is not suitable for these animals as well well. In o rder to protect them from the tragic death of starvation, the authors decided to de- velop an intelligent system for feeding stray animals. The system makes it possi...
