Publication Embargo Group Formation and Communication of Multitasking Multi-Robots for Smart City Cleaning Process(IEEE, 2022-12-09) Dahanaka, D.M.S.J; Wijesooriya, A.I.E; Wickramasinghage, D.S.S; Bhaggya, G.V.C; Harshanath, S.M.B; Rajapaksha, U. U. SIn this research paper, we focus on how multitasking robots team up to clean a city. In particular, we consider how they build their team, how they position themselves in their positions, how they work with teams, how they face obstacles along the way, and how to move groups out of control in an emergency. We use a leader-follower strategy here, and we are also tasked with selecting a leader for each group. The leader finds the shortest route to avoid the obstacle by considering the obstacle details such as obstacle location, obstacle width, and destination. The leader decides the best way for the team to go. If the leader wants to change the group, it gives the message to the relevant member. In the event of meeting an obstacle, it changes its shape and moves. A Robot Operating System (ROS) framework was created to perform real-time experiments with ROS-capable mobile robotic TURTLEBOTs to evaluate this control strategy. Simulations performed on a mobile robot team demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.Publication Embargo The Impact Of Social Media On The Academic Development Of School Students(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-09-18) Perera, U,D,H,L; Harshanath, S.M.BWhile social media has reached the peak of its popularity, the addiction to social media become a major issue. With the present pandemic the authorities are forced to close the schools and to shift to virtual classrooms. The students must therefore use a connected devise to participate to the classes which has contributed to the increased addiction to social media among the youth. Inappropriate or excessive usage social media may affect the studies as well as mental and physical health of the user. Spread of fake news through social media has also been a big problem. Mainly, due to its convenience of usage, social media, has become a daily necessity, especially among the youth. So, the primary goal of this study project is to determine the impact of social media on school students' academic performance and to suggest a separate social media platform which will meet their needs.
