The issue of developing a prototype for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and creating a control system based on a computer-aided design (CAD) model as part of a project for inspecting construction sites is under consideration. Special attention has been paid to constructing a computer model of a quadcopter. Based on existing methods, energy calculations have been performed and a process for synthesizing controllers in orientation and positioning control circuits has been proposed, considering the sampling rate of the sensors utilized. The outcomes obtained through modeling confirm the suggested algorithm for adjusting controllers. The solution can be utilized by students and professionals in the development of autonomous UAVs or their computer models.

Deviation of forestry equipment from the designated route leads to environmental, legal, and economic issues, such as soil damage, tree destruction, and fines. Autonomous route correction systems are essential to address these problems. The aim of this study is to develop a system for deviation detection and trajectory calculation to return to the designated route. The system determines the current position of the equipment using global positioning sensors and an inertial measurement unit. The Kalman filter ensures positioning accuracy, while the A* algorithm and trajectory smoothing methods are used to compute efficient routes considering obstacles and turning radii. The proposed solution effectively detects deviations and calculates a trajectory for returning to the route.

The annual growth of the load on data centers increases many times over, which is due to the growing growth of users of the information and telecommunications network Internet. Users access various resources and sources, using search engines and services for this. Installing equipment that processes telecommunications traffic faster requires significant financial costs, and can also significantly increase the downtime of the data center due to possible problems during routine maintenance. It is more expedient to focus resources on improving the software, rather than the hardware of the equipment. The article provides an algorithm that can reduce the load on telecommunications equipment by searching for information within a specific subject area, as well as by using the features of natural language and the process of forming words, sentences and texts in it. It is proposed to analyze the request based on the formation of a prefix tree and clustering, as well as by calculating the probability of the occurrence of the desired word based on the three sigma rule and Zipf's Law.

Software has been developed to evaluate the surface characteristics of liquids, solutions and suspensions in the Microsoft Visual Studio environment. The module with a user-friendly interface does not require special skills from the user and allows for a numerical calculation of the energy characteristics of the liquid in a time of ~ 1 second: adhesion, cohesion, wetting energy, spreading coefficient and adhesion of the liquid composition to the contact surface. Using the example of a test liquid - distilled water and an initial liquid separation lubricant of the Penta-100 series, an example of calculating the wetting of a steel surface with liquid media is demonstrated. Optical microscopy methods have shown that good lubrication of the steel surface ensures the formation of a homogeneous, defect-free coating. The use of the proposed module allows for an express assessment of the compatibility of liquid formulations with the protected surface and is of interest to manufacturers of paint and varnish materials in product quality control.

The article is devoted to the development of automated information systems (AIS) for electronic document management in the educational field. Using the example of the process of accreditation monitoring of basic professional educational programs implemented in university departments, functional requirements, user algorithms and a prototype AIS (web system) for generating documents have been developed.

This study is devoted to the development of methods for the automatic assessment of the granulometric composition of ore after blasting based on data obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Determining the size of ore fragments is an important step, since the effectiveness of subsequent crushing processes depends on its accuracy. Traditional methods of analysis use manual work, which requires considerable labor and is subject to subjective factors. The study examines modern machine learning methods and neural network architectures, such as Feature Pyramid Network (FPN), EfficientNet and SE ResNet, which can automatically and accurately segment images. As a result of the experiments, it was found that the VPN network with a pre-trained EfficientNet B2 base showed the highest IoU accuracy among the models.

The study is devoted to the development of models, algorithms and software for computer training complexes (CTC) for training developers of automated information systems (AIS). The process of automated control of students' knowledge and skills using CTC in studying the mathematical support of AIS (using fuzzy modeling as an example) is formalized based on IDEF0 diagrams, and the process of assessing exercise performance as one of the control components. The advantage of CTC is that the teacher does not need to develop individual exercise options, since CTC configures the structure and complexity of the exercise and then automatically generates a unique version of the exercise for each student undergoing knowledge testing on the topic being studied. The student's performance is checked automatically by comparing the mathematical models of the student's solution to the task and the reference solution generated in CTC based on the problem statement. Algorithms for assessing task performance in fuzzy modeling exercises have been developed. A prototype of CTC has been created in the form of a web system with personal accounts for the teacher and the student. The developed concept and algorithms for monitoring knowledge and skills in fuzzy modeling using the CTC can be adapted for various disciplines in the field of mathematical, software, information and other types of support for AIS.
