“…Developing such a robotic system is challenging, as it must function reliably in all weather conditions outdoors [29]. This project spans multiple disciplines, including electronics, mechanics, mechatronics, automation, and software [30], necessitating precise coordination and complex mathematical calculations related to the sun's position and the required motor movements [31,32].…”

In this paper, different test cases where robotic arms are tested will be presented. A robotic arm is tested for the gravity effects that can be observed on it. The other robotic arm is tested for how much precision it has by using it to learn to write. The other robotic arm is tested on how well it can function as a solar tracker and how precisely it can function as an energy harvester. On the basis of these tests, the robotic arm’s mechanical structure, electronics, and software are put to the test. The software is based on evolutionary software that implements genetic algorithms. The entire command system is also ported to FPGAs (to hardware) to increase speed and response time.

This paper deals with the energy management of a hybrid power system, which consists of a photovoltaic (PV) system, diesel generators, battery, and ultracapacitor for a mobile hospital. The proposed power system can supply energy to shelter hospitals for better treatment of patients in remote states, particularly in the event of a pandemic situation such as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). For this reason, a hybrid power system in which a diesel generator is used with a photovoltaic energy source for reliable availability of power supply. Moreover, battery and ultracapacitor are also integrated to obtain a hybrid power generation and storage system to ensure the smooth operation of mobile hospitals irrespective of weather conditions. A boost converter is used with PV panels to operate them in either maximum power tracking mode or power curtailment mode. The battery is connected to a bidirectional reversible DC-DC converter for direct-current (DC) bus voltage regulation and state of charge control. The ultracapacitor is associated with the battery to compensate for the peak power. The diesel generator is connected in parallel with the photovoltaic generator, battery, and ultracapacitor to continuously provide the power required by the load. The integrated operation of all generation sources and storage systems is complex for shelter hospitals. Therefore, an efficient energy management algorithm is developed to manage the continuous energy flow between different elements of the hybrid power system and mobile hospital load through the control of the power converters. Finally, validation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed energy management algorithm for the hybrid power system.

This article deals with the energy management of a hybrid system composed of PV, Battery,ultracapacitor and diesel synchronous generators for a mobile hospital. The proposed power system can supply energy to Shelter Hospital for better treatment of patients in remote states, particularly in the event of a pandemic situation such as COVID-19. For this reason, a hybrid power system in which a diesel generator is used with a photovoltaic energy source for reliable availability of power supply. Moreover, batteries and ultra-capacitors are also integrated to obtain a hybrid power generation and storage system to ensure the smooth operation of mobile hospital weather conditions. Photovoltaic panels are connected to a boost converter to follow maximum power tracking (MPPT) and Power curtailment modes. The battery is connected to a bidirectional reversible DC-DC converter for DC bus voltage regulation and state of charge (SOC) control. The ultra-capacitor is associated with the battery to compensate for the peak power. The diesel generator is connected in parallel with the photovoltaic generator, battery, and ultra-capacitor to continuously provide the power required by the load. The integrated operation of all the generation and storage systems is complex for shelter hospital. Hence; an efficient energy management algorithm is developed to manage the continuous energy flow between the elements of the hybrid power system and mobile hospital load through the control of the power converters. Finally, validation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed energy management of the hybrid power system.
