The Voronoi diagram arises if a group of bodies expand from a point of origin and compete for space on an equal footing. This is the case of cells in the epithelium. These have the shape of a scutoid, a recently described geometric solid. Using a free CAD design program and additive manufacturing, scutoids can be generated, applying the Voronoi …
Software for validation of mathematical scripts using artificial intelligence
This project focused on creating software to verify the accuracy of handwritten mathematical notations using Artificial Intelligence and Computer Algebra System. Utilizing Optical Character Recognition technology and Computer Algebra System, the software can recognize, digitize, and check mathematical expressions for errors. It was implemented using Python and multiple technologies, such as Sympy and Tesseract Optical Character Recognition, offering broad applications …
DiaMiR: A MicroRNA (miR-23) Microneedle Patch for Type-2 Diabetes Control
422 million adults worldwide have diabetes and 48% of all juvenile deaths are due to diabetes or diabetes-inflicted diseases; diabetes in low-income families has risen rapidly — 21% since 2010. By combining recent advances in microRNA (miR) technology, applying a novel miR-based LNP loading and microneedle hyaluronic chain-linked drug-infusion method, DiaMiR (Diabetes MicroRNA-injected Reparation) aims to mitigate the adverse effects …
A Fully Automatic Self-Assembling Modular Robot System
Self-assembling modular robotic systems are swarm robotics that allows for the assembly of different complex robotics configurations from individual modules. Creating an adaptable and capable robotics system. Such systems are applicable to unpredictable environments such as search and rescue and can further improve efficiency in the logistics industry. This project presents the design and manufacturing of such a system. Each …
A Multi-Robot Kit for Detecting Earthquake Victims in Debris
People trapped in the debris after the earthquake could not be detected in time. Rescue teams commonly use acoustic listening devices and under-debris imaging cameras, but they don’t meet the needs to detect earthquake victims, and they are difficult to reach due to their high cost. This project aims to detect earthquake victims that are stuck in debris with a …
Synthesising Classical Guitar Pieces Using Transformer
After a literature review, no specific AI model for classical guitar in symbolic music production was found. Therefore, a new AI model was developed to generate new pieces while preserving the melodic and harmonic structure based on input notes. To do this, a dataset containing solo classical guitar pieces was tokenized using REMI and augmented. The Music Transformer deep learning …
Finding The Final Location and Instantaneous Speed Based On Zero Reference Without Using GPS Data: Sound Wave Navigation
There are methods such as GPS, INS, and RRNS available to determine our position on Earth. INS is used for vehicles that cannot receive data from satellites. Our goal in this study is to develop a new method to provide an alternative to INS, which is quite costly. The speed of sound waves depends on the field they are in. …
3D printing of an object moving by hygroscopic stimulation
In this project, a complete product development process was carried out; the result is a functioning, energy-autonomous, biodegradable small robot. For this purpose, the latest results from cutting-edge research were taken into account, material behaviour was characterised, physical processes were modelled analytically and numerically, prototypes were built, and functionality was tested experimentally. The developed product, called “Hygrobot”, draws its energy …
Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of a Generalised Brachistochrone Problem for Mechanical Systems Including Coulomb Friction and Rotational Motion
The work provides a definition of a generalised form of the Brachistochrone problem for arbitrary mechanical systems. The problem then is solved for mechanical systems including Coulomb friction and/or rotational motion. By studying the solution curves, an interesting relation between the solution curve for systems with Coulomb friction and the cycloid has been shown. To estimate influences of simplifications made …
The influence of Roman rites on key events of ancient Rome
The influence of Roman rites on key events in Ancient Rome. At the battle of Marathon, the Spartans, celebrating Apollo, did not immediately come to Athenians’ rescue: religion took precedence over military strategy. Was this also the case with the Romans? What role did rituals play in Roman life? In this research, I looked at the influence of different rites …
