58 84. Human-Machine Interaction: Glove Interface System This mechatronic project uses a glove interface systemwith sensors, combined with an ArduinoMega, to recognise a series of hand gestures. Additionally, it uses this to control the movement of a 3D-printed 5-axis robotic arm. The more intuitive control of machines provides operators with an easier learning curve to control mechanical systems. The systemdemonstrates recognition of five different gestures to control five separate corresponding joints, bringing together electronic andmechanical systems. It has the scope to be adapted to a range of applications due to the flexibility of the project’s modular system. Moreover, it surpasses conventional control methods such as joysticks and touch pads, presenting a superior solution for completing tasks efficiently.

Following this foundational step, the lightweight PRESENT-80 cypher is implemented using the RISC-V instructions, showcasing the architecture’s capability to handle cryptographic algorithms. The analysis involves a detailed comparison of the efficiency of the PRESENT-80 cypher implementation on the RISC-V processor with its performance when implemented directly in SystemVerilog and C++ code. This comparison provides critical insights into the relative performance, including execution speed, resource consumption, and potential trade-offs, highlighting the practicality and effectiveness of utilising RISC-V architecture for cryptographic applications.
