In the literature, many applications of Digital Twin methodologies in manufacturing, construction and oil gas sectors have been proposed, but there is still no reference model specifically developed for risk control prevention. this context, work develops a order to define conceptual guidelines support implementation prediction The proposed paper made up four main layers (Process industry physical space, Communication system, User space), while steps divided into five phases (Development...
Condition-based monitoring of rotating machines requires robust features for accurate fault diagnosis, which is indeed directly linked to the quality extracted from signals. This especially true vibration data, whose quasi-stationary nature implies that frequency domain depends on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) condition, operating condition variations, and data segmentation. paper presents a novel statistical spectral analysis, leads highly diagnosis with poor SNR conditions, different...
This paper proposes a free dataset, available at the following link,1named KIMORE, regarding different rehabilitation exercises collected by RGB-D sensor. Three data inputs including RGB, depth videos, and skeleton joint positions were recorded during five physical exercises, specific for low back pain accurately selected physicians. For each exercise, dataset also provides set of features, specifically defined physicians, relevant to describe its scope. These validated with respect...
This paper proposes an actuator fault-tolerant control scheme, composed of the usual modules performing detection, isolation, accommodation, designed for a class nonlinear systems, and then applied to underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) used inspection purposes. Detection is in charge residual generation module, while sliding-mode-based approach has been both ROV fault after application input decoupling state transformation model. Finally, reconfiguration performed exploiting inherent...

These data used compared three reference indices survey:...
Detecting stress in computer users, while technically challenging, is of the utmost importance workplace, especially now that remote working scenarios are becoming ubiquitous. In this context, cost-effective, subject-independent systems needed can be embedded consumer devices and classify users' a reliable unobtrusive fashion. Leveraging keyboard mouse dynamics particularly appealing context as it exploits readily available sensors. However, studies mostly performed laboratory conditions,...
This article presents a Fault Detection (FD) method to deal with propeller faults on multirotor drones in real-time. Several solutions have been proposed the literature, however, they depend additional sensors and/or dedicated hardware heavy computational complexity. So, cannot be implemented off-the-shelf commercial devices, i.e., without aid of on-board extra power. The method, instead, requires Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data only: by combining Finite Impulse Response (FIR), together...
