IR sensor for line following robot

Generally, in a line following robot as shown in Figure 1.1, IR sensor is used for the robot to detect the line either white or black. The line can either be black on a white surface and white on a black surface. The sensors are installed at the bottom of a front part of the robot. Multiple IR sensors are needed in order to get a more accurate output. The IR sensors come with pair that is a receiver and also a transmitter, we called it Tx and Rexford this application, the transmitter and the receiver is placed near to each other to make it easier to detect the line. When the IR sensor is supplied with certain voltage, the transmitter will transmit the infrared ray. Receiver will receive it. It is usually use to detect an object and also to detect a line on a surface

A review of using the force/torque sensor in robotics application

Nowadays, force/torque sensors ubiquitous in the robotics field. Most of the robots on the assembly line use a force/torque sensor in a complex assembly process. A force/torque (F/T) sensor is an electronic device designed to track, detect, record, and manage the rotational and linear forces exerted on it. This force/torque sensor, sometimes known as a multi-axis force/torque transducer, six-axis load cell, or F/T sensor. This sensor plays a vital role in the robotic application as it provides force information to make the system more reliable and precise.

Corporate governance and insider trading: evidence from Malaysia

The collapse of prominent companies coupled with the increasing number of lawsuits against the directors of the companies for wrongdoing has raised concerns with insider trading activities. Insider trading does cause significant market reaction, whereby the insiders are able to earn significant cumulative abnormal returns for both purchases and sales. However, studies on the factors influencing insider trading are relatively scarce. This study aims to examine the factors that influence insider trading activities. Specifically, this study examines the relationship between four corporate governance factors, namely, board independence, board size, executive compensation and ownership concentration and insider trading activities in public listed companies in Malaysia. This study evinces that board size and executive compensation significantly influence insider purchases. On the other hand, significant market reaction caused by insider sales may be explained by other factors. Therefore, future studies could be carried out on other factors that may influence opportunistic insider sales. This study also found evidence against the semistrong form Efficient Market Hypothesis theory that suggests insiders cannot earn abnormal returns in a semi-strong efficient market using public informatio

Nondestructive testing using ultrasonic sensor

Nondestructive testing (NDT) is the process of inspection or evaluating materials or component without destroying the functionality, serviceability and the structure of the testing product. Therefore, after the inspection is done the testing product can still be used as usual compared to the destructive testing that can cause the damage to the testing product. In the other word destructive testing has limitation because of the technique need a sampling product rather than on the materials is already put into the service. NDT are often used to determine the properties of the materials such as strengthen ductility, porosity and toughness. Todays, NDT are widely used in industries, manufacturing, and fabrication and in service inspection to ensure the quality of the product. Besides that, NDT also can reduce production cost by minimize the damage onto the product and also can reduce the production time by without damaging the testing product. Also in construction field, there are many benefits from NDT process toward this area such as to evaluate the strength of concrete. There are many method of NDT today such as Magnetic Particle Testing, Ultrasonic Testing, and Vibration Analysis. For testing of the building basically people are used the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) and Rebound Hammer. This paper is specifically discussed about the Nondestructive Testing (NDT) by using Ultrasonic
