Viral and fungal diseases of greenhouse strawberries lead to significant crop losses, while traditional uniform spraying schemes do not account for the actual distribution of infection foci or changes in the microclimate. This paper proposes an integrated system for greenhouse farms that combines a stochastic SIRS model of the epidemic process with a microclimate-dependent infection coefficient βeff(t), a computer vision module based on a lightweight YOLOv10n detector, and a mobile sprayer robot. For three sets of parameters corresponding to moderate infection, outbreak, and suppression scenarios, ensemble simulations are performed (100 realizations per scenario). The results show that the maximum number of infected plants reaches approximately 690 out of 1000 in the outbreak scenario and only about 28 out of 1000 in the suppression scenario, reflecting the effect of timely microclimate correction and local spraying. The YOLOv10n detector is used as a sensor to determine the proportion of affected plants I(0)/N and provides automatic formation of the initial conditions of the population model. The resulting forecasts then serve as the basis for selecting one of three operating modes for the spraying robot (observation, microclimate correction, local treatment). Unlike existing works that consider disease detection, epidemiological models, or robotic spraying separately, this paper proposes a unified closed-loop scheme of “computer vision—stochastic model—mobile robot,” linking detection quality with epidemic process forecasting and treatment strategy. In this study, the feasibility of the proposed system was examined through numerical simulations, detector-level performance evaluation, and offline image-based integrated validation of the detector-to-decision workflow. Full closed-loop experiments in a real greenhouse environment are planned for future work.
This research addresses the problem of the initial synthesis of kinematic chains with spherical kinematic pairs, which are essential in the design of spatial mechanisms used in robotics, aerospace, and mechanical systems. The goal is to establish the existence of solutions for defining the geometric and motion constraints of these kinematic chains, ensuring that the synthesized mechanism achieves the desired motion with precision. By formulating the synthesis problem in terms of nonlinear algebraic equations derived from the spatial positions and orientations of the links, we analyze the conditions under which a valid solution exists. We explore both analytical and numerical methods to solve these equations, highlighting the significance of parameter selection in determining feasible solutions. Specifically, our approach demonstrates the visualization of fixed points, such as A, B, and C, alongside their spatial differences with respect to reference points and transformation matrices. We detail methods for plotting transformation components, including rotation matrix elements (e, m, and n) and derived products from these matrices, as well as the representation of angular parameters (θi, ψi, and i) in a three-dimensional context. The proposed techniques not only facilitate the debugging and analysis of complex kinematic behaviors but also provide a flexible tool for researchers in robotics, computer graphics, and mechanical design. By offering a clear and interactive visualization strategy, this framework enhances the understanding of spatial relationships and transformation dynamics inherent in multi-body systems.
This study investigates the functional capabilities and accessibility limitations of current knee prostheses while developing and evaluating a three-stage prosthetic system (V1–V3). The primary objective is to design a cost-effective knee prosthesis featuring anatomically compatible motion, high kinematic accuracy, and a modular architecture. The methodology integrates a technical review of commercial prostheses, CAD modeling in SolidWorks, kinematic evaluation through Motion Simulation, and experimental testing of the V2 prototype. The results demonstrate the structural limitations of the initial V1 design, the complete assembly and improved functional performance of the V2 prototype, and the advanced mechanical behavior achieved in the final V3 concept. The V3 model provides an extended range of motion, reduced mass and lowered center of gravity, smoother dynamic response, and compatibility with a fully modular foot–ankle–knee configuration. Overall, the findings indicate that the V3 design represents a promising engineering solution that brings the system closer to clinical applicability and establishes a foundation for the development of a fully modular lower-limb prosthetic platform.
