    COMPARISON OF COMPUTER-BASED PROPAGATION MODELS WITH EXPERIMENTAL DATA COLLECTED IN AN URBAN AREA AT 1800 MHz
    (Ieee, 2015) Acar, Tarik; Caliskan, Fatma; Aydin, Elif
    Nowadays a lot of models are set for the efficient and economic usage of frequency band since the band is a limited source. Therefore, the propagation models created for this purpose were studied in the literature. These models are Free Space Path Loss (Fspl) + Reflection plus Multiple Diffraction (RMD), COST-Hata and COST-WI models. In order to compare the success of the models, electric field strength measurements were taken in a chosen district (Mustafa Kemal Mahallesi Ankara, Turkey) where an irregular structure style can be observed. First set of measurements were recorded at random coordinates and second set of measurements were collected by the following coordinates tracking on a single line. As a conclusion, measured values were compared with the results which were taken from the mentioned models with graphical presentations. The most appropriate model was tried to be found and as another aim of the study, a correction factor was generated as a modification for COST-Hata propagation model.

    Pilot remote experiment in the ERRL
    (Ieee, 2007) Oezen, Mustafa; Aydin, Elif Uray; Kara, Ali
    A remote laboratory platform enables the learners to access physical instruments at distant location and to perform experiments remotely via the Internet. This paper focuses on a pilot remote laboratory experiment on measurement of scattering parameters (s parameters) by using vector network analyzer (VNA) in the ERRL (European Remote Radio Laboratory) platform. The results of the pilot experiment are presented, and discussed shortly.

    An Undergraduate Curriculum for Deep Learning
    (Ieee, 2018) Tirkes, Guzin; Ekin, Cansu Cigdem; Sengul, Gokhan; Bostan, Atila; Karakaya, Murat
    Deep Learning (DL) is an interesting and rapidly developing field of research which has been currently utilized as a part of industry and in many disciplines to address a wide range of problems, from image classification, computer vision, video games, bioinformatics, and handwriting recognition to machine translation. The starting point of this study is the recognition of a big gap between the sector need of specialists in DL technology and the lack of sufficient education provided by the universities. Higher education institutions are the best environment to provide this expertise to the students. However, currently most universities do not provide specifically designed DL courses to their students. Thus, the main objective of this study is to design a novel curriculum including two courses to facilitate teaching and learning of DL topic. The proposed curriculum will enable students to solve real-world problems by applying DL approaches and gain necessary background to adapt their knowledge to more advanced, industry-specific fields.

    Lyapunov-Based Controller Design for Precise Monitoring, Speed Control and Trajectory Planning in Autonomous Tractors With Trailers
    (Ieee, 2024) Aydin, Gulsah Demirhan; Dogan, Deren; Turken, Yusuf Tugberk
    Nowadays, modern technology-based agriculture operations are replacing traditional farming practices. Smart agricultural systems have gained popularity as a result of the demand for more productive and environmentally friendly farming methods. Consequently, the agricultural sector continues to be one of the driving forces behind automation, viewing technological advancements as a means of increasing productivity while lowering costs. Automation in agriculture ranges from tractors built with apparatus that can carry out complicated tasks on their own to cultivation surveillance. This study aims to optimize the speed of an autonomous tractor through a dynamic code based on Lyapunov control method as an innovative approach in smart agriculture. Beyond speed optimization, the research also addresses practical challenges encountered in real-world scenarios, including obstacles such as living entities. By evaluating the potential of Lyapunov control methodology in the effective management of agricultural machinery, this work offers an innovative perspective on smart agricultural technologies.

    A New Approach for Addressing Slip Ratio Optimization and Trajectory Tracking Challenges in Autonomous Tractor Operations
    (Ieee, 2024) Aydin, Gulsah Demirhan; Aydemir, Ali Bahadir; Kansou, Mohamad Thaer; Altinuc, Kemal Orcun; Mechatronics Engineering; Mechatronics Engineering
    The usage of autonomous agricultural machines is increasing. In this study, two controllers have been designed for trajectory following and longitudinal tire slip ratio control of a rear-wheel independent traction electric autonomous tractor. The first controller is model predictive control (MPC) and the second controller is proportional integral derivative (PID) based. To evaluate the performance of the controllers in the simulation environment, a mathematical tractor model is prepared. Simulations have been made and performances of the designed controllers are shared.

    Biomechanical Design and Control of Lower Limb Exoskeleton for Sit-to-Stand and Stand-to-Sit Movements
    (Ieee, 2018) Qureshi, Muhammad Hamza; Masood, Zeeshan; Rehman, Linta; Owais, Muhammad; Khan, Muhammad Umer
    In this paper, we present design and development phase of lower limb robotic exoskeleton that can assist paralyzed individuals. Motion of the human wearing exoskeleton is introduced by actuators. Both exoskeleton legs are attached to the supporting frame by passive universal joints. The exoskeleton provides 3 DOFs per limb of which two joints are active and one passive. The control actions i.e., sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit movements are triggered using Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) toggle switch. The control scheme is implement using Switch control method and the feedback is provided by means of current measurement. This assistive device can be utilized for the disabled persons. The simulation results are provided that evaluates the performance of the control actions on exoskeleton.

    In this study, voiced-unvoiced classification performance of Turkish sounds using skewness and kurtosis is examined. The analyses show that higher order cumulants can be employed as a feature in voiced-unvoiced classification that is vital in speech processing applications. Furthermore, it has been shown that cumulants are also useful for identifying voiced and unvoiced segments in noisy speech signals.
