Towards an automated AI-based framework for floor plan compliance checks for residential buildings

To improve residents' well-being in Australia's urban areas, governments have introduced policy reforms such as SEPP65, BADS, and SPP7.3 to enhance apartment design quality. These regulations require precise geometric and spatial analysis to evaluate health-related features, including daylight access, natural ventilation, privacy, and space efficiency. However, compliance checking remains challenging due to its manual, time-intensive nature. Additionally, evolving policies limit scalability for large-scale assessments across thousands of apartments. Existing automated floor plan analysis methods are fragmented and typically focus on single apartments, lacking a unified framework for multi-unit compliance checking. This article explores current advancements in automated floor plan analysis, particularly AI-driven approaches, and highlights key challenges in their practical adoption. To address these gaps, a conceptual framework is proposed for automated compliance checking in multi-apartment buildings. A Large Language Model (LLM) is used within a Rule Engine to convert textual building codes into executable, explainable rules. A Data Extraction Engine segments floor plan images into elements such as walls, rooms, fixtures, text, and symbols, and transforms them into a structured building graph with topological relationships. This structured representation is then evaluated by a Compliance Check Engine, which leverages LLM-generated rules for assessment. The proposed framework offers a scalable, consistent, and transparent approach to automated compliance checking across jurisdictions, supporting efficient enforcement of apartment design standards and promoting healthier, higher-density urban development.

In-process 3D Deviation Mapping and Defect Monitoring (3D-DM2) in High Production-rate Robotic Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) is an emerging digital manufacturing technology to produce complex and freeform objects through a layer-wise deposition. High deposition rate robotic AM (HDRRAM) processes, such as cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM), offer significantly increased build speeds by delivering large volumes of material per unit time. However, maintaining shape accuracy remains a critical challenge, particularly due to process instabilities in current open-loop systems. Detecting these deviations as they occur is essential to prevent error propagation, ensure part quality, and minimize post-processing requirements. This study presents a real-time monitoring system to acquire and reconstruct the growing part and directly compares it with a near-net reference model to detect the shape deviation during the manufacturing process. The early identification of shape inconsistencies, followed by segmenting and tracking each deviation region, paves the way for timely intervention and compensation to achieve consistent part quality.

Screening Autism Spectrum Disorder in children using Deep Learning Approach : Evaluating the classification model of YOLOv26s by comparing with other models

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition that presents significant challenges in social interac- tion, communication, and behavior. Early intervention plays a pivotal role in enhancing cognitive abilities and reducing autistic symptoms in children with ASD. Numerous clinical studies have highlighted distinctive facial characteristics that distinguish ASD children from typically developing (TD) children. In this study, we propose a practical solution for ASD screening using facial images using YOLOv26s model. By employing YOLOv26s, a deep learning technique, we achieved exceptional results. Our model achieved a remarkable 92.86% accuracy in classification and an F1-score of 0.9291. Our findings provide support for the clini- cal observations regarding facial feature discrepancies between children with ASD. The high F1-score obtained demonstrates the potential of deep learning models in screening children with ASD. We conclude that the newest version of YOLOv26s which is usually used for object detection can be used for classification problem of Austistic and Non-autistic images.

Student Engagement Detection Using Emotion Analysis, Eye Tracking and Head Movement with Machine Learning

With the increase of distance learning, in general, and e-learning, in particular, having a system capable of determining the engagement of students is of primordial importance, and one of the biggest challenges, both for teachers, researchers and policy makers. Here, we present a system to detect the engagement level of the students. It uses only information provided by the typical built-in web-camera present in a laptop computer, and was designed to work in real time. We combine information about the movements of the eyes and head, and facial emotions to produce a concentration index with three classes of engagement: "very engaged", "nominally engaged" and "not engaged at all". The system was tested in a typical e-learning scenario, and the results show that it correctly identifies each period of time where students were "very engaged", "nominally engaged" and "not engaged at all". Additionally, the results also show that the students with best scores also have higher concentration indexes.
