Assessing the Visual SLAM Performance in Autonomous Mobile Robots Using Adaptive GMapping and Cartography

Journal of Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) plays a vital role in the operation of autonomous robots. In a dynamic environment, the results of some commonly used SLAM algorithms may not be optimal. Therefore, Visual SLAM is used. This study presents a comparative study of SLAM algorithms for autonomous mobile robots in structured indoor environments ...

Real‐Time Recognition of Dynamic Gestures in Pakistan Sign Language Using YOLO and LSTM Networks

Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Sign language is a primary communication modality for many deaf and hard‐of‐hearing individuals, yet many recognition systems remain limited by static‐gesture assumptions and weak generalization to realistic acquisition variability. This paper presents a real‐time dynamic Pakistan Sign Language (PSL) gesture recognition framework that combines YOLOv8 ...
