Development of c-means Clustering Based Adaptive Fuzzy Controller for A Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle

Advanced and accurate modelling of a Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicle (FW MAV) and its control is one of the recent research topics related to the field of autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In this work, a four wing Natureinspired (NI) FW MAV is modeled and controlled inspiring by its advanced features like quick flight, vertical take-off and landing, hovering, and fast turn, and enhanced manoeuvrability when contrasted with comparable-sized fixed and rotary wing UAVs. The Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm is utilized to demonstrate the NIFW MAV model, which has points of interest over first principle based modelling since it does not depend on the system dynamics, rather based on data and can incorporate various uncertainties like sensor error. The same clustering strategy is used to develop an adaptive fuzzy controller. The controller is then utilized to control the altitude of the NIFW MAV, that can adapt with environmental disturbances by tuning the antecedent and consequent parameters of the fuzzy system.Comment: this paper is currently under review in Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing Researc

Tanggung Jawab Negen Sanan Tua Sebagai Kewajiban Sosial Masyarakat Adat Menurut Awig-awig Desa Pakraman (Studi Desa Pakraman Tegalcangkring Kabupaten Jembrana Provinsi Bali)

The duties that followed with responsibility for negen sanan tua in Pakraman Tegalcangkring Village are usually incurred by every son of the family. The duties include (1) the duty for ancestor and (2) the social duty as indigenous community at Pakraman Village. In pursuance of the philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, the duties that followed with responsibility are the duty of negen sanan tua to the deceased father (passed away) and the duty for being customary citizen to represent the social duty of indigenous community. The objective of research is to describe, to analyze and to discover duties which are followed by responsibility for negen sanan tua as the social duty of indigenous community. This legal research is empirical law research. The approach is sociolinguistic to describe the behavior of indigenous community which signifies their life and the obedience of this community to the prevailed custom sanction subjected to the deviant indigenous citizen. Result of research indicates that custom rules (awig-awig) that prevails in Pakraman Tegalcangkring Village, as stated in Sarga III Pawos 7, has required every indigenous citizen (krama adat) to implement their social duties. These duties involve physical duty (ayah-ayahan) and pecuniary duty (uron-uron / peson-peson). Such duties represent a precondition for a status as indigenous citizen (krama adat). The rite of pengabenan (cremation) is conducted based on philosophical values that the deceased will return to the Creator (God All Mighty). This ceremony also manifests the reciprocal relationship across indigenous citizens (krama adat). The gathering can also help to produce a balancing life or a harmony. The deviator against these duties being as indigenous citizen (krama adat) will be subjected to the custom sanctions, either fine (pecuniary) or moral condemn, to enforce the curative effect for all indigenous citizens (krama adat) in Pakraman Tegalcangkring Village

Perancangan Film Dokumenter Selonding; Nyanyianmu Semangat Kami sebagai Kebudayaan Khas Desa Tenganan Pegringsingan Bali

Gamelan Selonding merupakan salah satu bentuk warisan budaya yang berasal dari Desa Tenganan Pegringsingan. Gamelan ini memiliki keunikan bentuk, suara dan terutama fungsinya yang sakral pada kehidupan warga di Desa Tenganan Pegringsingan. Namun keberadan dari Gamelan Selonding kurang diketahui oleh masyarakat Bali. Informasi mengenai Gamelan Selonding hanya bisa didapatkan di Desa Tengaan Pegringsingan. Jadi meurut survei hal tersebut menyebabkan hanya 26.8% remaja Bali yang mengetahui Gamelan Selonding. Maka dari itu diperlukan sebuah media komunikasi untuk mengenalkan Gamelan selonding secara komprehensif mulai dari bentuk, suara serta fungsi gamelan tersebut bagi masyarakat Bali. Dilakukan pembuatan film dokumenter untuk memberikan informasi yang yang komperhensif mengenai bentuk, suara dan fungsi dari Gamelan Selonding. Proses perancangan film dokumenter ini terbagi menjadi 3 tahap yakni tahap Pra Produksi, Produksi serta Pasca Produksi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yakni observasi langsung ke lapangan, In-depth interview dengan narasumber yang berkompeten serta menyebarkan kuisioner untuk mendapatkan saran mengenai informasi yang diperlukan oleh remaja di Bali. Hasil dari perancangan ini adalah film dokumenter Selonding; Nyanyianmu Semangat Kami yang merepresentasikan kegiatan upacara warga desa Tenganan Pegringsingan selama upacara Usaba Sambah 2014. Melalui film dokumenter ini para audiens dapat melihat serta mendengar bentuk dan suara dari gamelan Selonding, juga merasakan semangat dan kegigihan warga desa Tenganan Pegringsingan dalam menjaga dan melestarikan warisan budayanya

PAC: A Novel Self-Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Controller for Micro Aerial Vehicles

There exists an increasing demand for a flexible and computationally efficient controller for micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) due to a high degree of environmental perturbations. In this work, an evolving neuro-fuzzy controller, namely Parsimonious Controller (PAC) is proposed. It features fewer network parameters than conventional approaches due to the absence of rule premise parameters. PAC is built upon a recently developed evolving neuro-fuzzy system known as parsimonious learning machine (PALM) and adopts new rule growing and pruning modules derived from the approximation of bias and variance. These rule adaptation methods have no reliance on user-defined thresholds, thereby increasing the PAC's autonomy for real-time deployment. PAC adapts the consequent parameters with the sliding mode control (SMC) theory in the single-pass fashion. The boundedness and convergence of the closed-loop control system's tracking error and the controller's consequent parameters are confirmed by utilizing the LaSalle-Yoshizawa theorem. Lastly, the controller's efficacy is evaluated by observing various trajectory tracking performance from a bio-inspired flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle (BI-FWMAV) and a rotary wing micro aerial vehicle called hexacopter. Furthermore, it is compared to three distinctive controllers. Our PAC outperforms the linear PID controller and feed-forward neural network (FFNN) based nonlinear adaptive controller. Compared to its predecessor, G-controller, the tracking accuracy is comparable, but the PAC incurs significantly fewer parameters to attain similar or better performance than the G-controller.Comment: This paper has been accepted for publication in Information Science Journal 201
