Lately, the idea of indoor vertical farming has caught a wide attention throughout the world either for domestic or commercial purposes. This is one of the ideal decisions in modern agriculture technique when the land area for the plantation activities has become the major concern especially in the urban area. However, certain factors must be considered to mimic the actual condition of the outdoor...
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of human casualty in the world as reported by World Health Organization (WHO). To facilitate in minimizing this cause, constant monitoring of the heart's rhythm appears to be essential in observing the condition of the heart by checking or recording the Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. This paper presents a prototype design of Single Wireless Electrocardiogram...
One of the unique features in the structured and well-organized agriculture field is the arrangement of the plants and crops in such long rows that leaves a small pathway in between them. This pathway is really important to facilitate the movement of the farmers or tractors in providing a maximum plant scouting and monitoring throughout the entire farm. Therefore, in this work, an embedded and automated...
In autonomous quadrocopter navigation, wind disturbances commonly pose a problem for the vehicle to navigate precisely on the planned path. The vehicle easily deviates off from the path and obviously affects the navigation accuracy. Trajectory correction is one possible solution proposed by few researchers to avert the problem. The approaches are proven to increase the efficiency for the vehicle to...
Precise tree diameter estimation for a lightweight and intelligent vehicle such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a commercial farm is still an unresolved problem. A lot of UAVs and the ground vehicles (UGV) are navigated across the farm by relying on the aided of the vision sensor as well as laser scanner. All of these methods require an extremely massive image computation, bulky package dimension...
Deviation from a planned path due to dynamic wind disturbances clearly will defect the quadrocopter navigation accuracy thus result to poor execution of a task. Few researchers proposed correction algorithms to be integrated in the autonomous quadrocopter system for the problem arises. However, the algorithms are not applicable to enable quadrocopter to navigate precisely on a planned trajectory around...
This paper presents a new approach in determining the diameter of cylindrical object based on the available two triangles formation technique. The proposed hardware-software system is useful to be implemented on an unmanned aerial vehicle platform in the agriculture field for row detection and navigation techniques based on simultaneous localization and mapping technique as it offers a lightweight...
One of the important aspects in building an autonomous vehicle with the cognitive capability in agriculture field is the potentiality of it to recognize the trees or significant landmarks and map it for future navigation process. Therefore, it is crucial for a machine to detect the trees and keep tracking between them in order to perform the plantation activities autonomously. One of the challenges...
In agriculture field, one of the important task for an automated machine is to detect the trees and keep tracking between them in order to perform the plantation activities. One of the challenges face by this implementation is when the trees are planted at a wider distance to one another. Therefore, individual tree detection is very crucial in facilitating the navigation of the automated machine between...
Autonomous quadrocopter recently has shown a significant usages and potentials to be used widely in the commercial market. This caused the aircraft to become a well-liked subject among the researchers and research organizations. With good controllability and stability on its motions will make the usability of the quadrocopter to perform a task reliably. For this to happen, clean signals from accelerometer...
The aim of this paper is to evaluate real-time accurateness of low-altitude height measurement using a single sonar sensor via Kalman filter algorithm in embedded controller. The function of the one dimension embedded Kalman filter of sonar sensor is to reduce and resolve the error of low altitude height measurement that produced from the sensor for mapping application. Series data of varied height...
This paper presents a review of previous work in the field of the unmanned autonomic vehicles in the agricultural field, particularly in the real-time inter-row tracking and localization techniques. A new method in row detection techniques based on simultaneous localization and mapping is proposed. The inter-row tracking technique differs from other available approaches done in terms of detection...
Manual wheelchair used to help the elderly and the handicapped for their mobility with assisted from other person. This paper presents a model of electrical powered wheelchair (EPW) which moves according to the motion mode of a joystick operated by a person. The signal from joystick is converted to digital signal by Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC). This digital signal will enable the microcontroller...
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is widely used in manufacturing industries for automation and became one of the essential subjects in the university. Learning theory in class alone is not enough to acquire the knowledge of PLC. Therefore in this paper a PLC Integrated Development Environment (IDE) tool suit is developed to assist students' learning in the class. It consists of ladder diagram editor,...
In Telemedicine, confidential information is transferred through an unsecure channel from one party to another. In this paper, a field programmable gate array (FPGA) based approach to protect the data in the Telemedicine system, the mySECURE II is developed. There are two security schemes on a crypto System-on-Chip (SoC) proposed in this paper namely hybrid encryption scheme and Rivest-Shamir-Adleman...
