Illuminating for Physical and Sensory Safety on Streets at Nocturnal Time
Abstract: Security is not something that is a new word in the vocabulary, but the increasing crime rates make it important to take the safety measures more seriously, whereas the lack of sense of designing the spaces considering safety makes it a topic of discussion. The buildings are the islands we make to cut off from the crimes around and feel safe but what about the streets that have no walls …

Generative Lightweighting of Actuator-Integrated Robotic Structures Under Decentralized Additive Manufacturing Constraints
Abstract: This study presents the implementation and structural validation of a constraint-driven generative design methodology for the development of lightweight actuator-integrated robotic components fabricated using decentralized additive manufacturing. Building upon a previously formalized constraint-driven framework, the method was applied to the synthesis of a modular robotic link representative of actuator-integrated structural elements commonly used in legged robotic systems. The baseline component was defined to preserve critical functional interfaces, including actuator mounting …

Solar Based Electric Fence for Smart Farming
Abstract: Animals create problems for farmers in their fields. By using electric fences farmers can protect their fields, farmhouses, farmlands from animals. These control the animals by giving them a short, sharp but safe shock that teaches them to stay away from the fence. Thus electric fences are economical and practical solutions to maximize field production through controlled grazing. Electric fencing is safe, as its output is discrete. There is certain …
