Abstract: An introduction to ROS, an open source robot operating system, is given in this paper. In terms of process management and scheduling, ROS is not an operating system. This study explains how Robotic Operating System (ROS) can be used to control items (such as vehicles) remotely and cautiously without human intervention at the location. Instead, it gives heterogeneous computing clusters a structured communication layer on top of the host operating system. This document gives a quick explanation of how ROS fits into the current robot software architecture and how we may utilize it for AUVs (Automated under water vehicle). One of the media that connects the entire world to the internet is optical cable, which is typically installed underground or under water. As a result, it is challenging to inspect them thoroughly because it costs more to do so. To address this issue, we are presenting a solution that involves developing a robotic operating system that would assist in checking the underwater/underground cables. To put this into practice, we have been utilizing VMWare Workstation to virtually install Ubuntu OS, where we will be installing ROS packages, with the ROS-Gazebo toolbox serving as one of the primary tools. We are testing the implemented software with the standard inputs. We are using light radiation as the primary factor to assess the condition of the optical cable.

Abstract: This paper introduces a digital solution that leverages Microsoft PowerApps and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to transform field data collection and management in rural farms with limited internet connectivity. The purpose of this solution is to address the challenges associated with offline data capture, synchronize the data with a central database, and effectively utilize it for various purposes within the organization. The research methods employed involve the utilization of Microsoft PowerApps and RPA. The PowerApps application enables field force team members to capture and store service order data on mobile/tablet devices offline and synchronize the data with the database when they are online. Additionally, an RPA solution retrieves the data from the database and automatically creates service orders in various systems. The paper discusses the design process of the digital solution, focusing on enabling offline capabilities using PowerApps for both Model-Driven Apps and Canvas Apps. It also explains the synchronization process, where data is saved locally on the device and later synchronized with the database. Furthermore, the integration of PowerApps and RPA is explored, highlighting the advantages of seamless data synchronization and automation capabilities. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the digital solution, including offline capability, data synchronization, response time, and user experience. The results demonstrate the solution's effectiveness in maintaining data integrity, seamless synchronization, improved response time, and enhanced user experience. In conclusion, the paper summarizes the benefits of the digital solution, including improved service quality, enhanced customer experience, and reduced manual effort. It highlights the game-changing offline capability of the app and its applications in various industries.
