    Odour source localization strategy for multiple robots using swarm intelligence with odour-gated anemotaxis
    ( 2017)
    Syed Muhammad Mamduh Syed Zakaria
    Animals such as silkworm moths, dogs and blue crabs have exhibited odour localization capabilities in nature. This amazing ability is exhibited in complex airflow conditions which produces highly dynamic and unpredictable gas dispersion. Harnessing this capability will enable robots to be deployed in critical and high-value applications such as search and rescue, entry point security applications, and environmental monitoring in industrial and urban settings. This thesis documents the research in swarm intelligence for gas source localization. Using swarm intelligence to achieve this task is envisaged to be more practical and economical compared to single robot implementations. Currently, few works have been presented on multi-robot systems in gas source localization; much less using swarm intelligence. This research aims to fill in the research gaps in gas source localization using swarm intelligence. However, current mobile olfaction experimental methods tend to oversimplify the actual problems thus reducing the findings’ impact in advancing this research field. Furthermore, lack of experimental realism reduces the reproducibility of the previously presented works in real world conditions. To overcome this limitation, this research uses recorded real-time gas dispersion in robot simulations. A real-time gas dispersion monitoring system consisting 72-gas sensors was built to record the gas dispersion in the experiment area. The recorded real-time data stream was then used in simulations to accurately recreate realworld experimental conditions in a simulation environment.

    Plaque accumulation is the buildup of bacterial substances on dental surface. Plaque can be controlled using anti-bacterial chemicals such as acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) and casein phosphopeptideamorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP). The function of APF and CPP-ACP is to inhibit the growth and adhesion of bacterial plaque colonization by S. mutans on the tooth’s surface. This study aims to identify differences in the effectiveness of the topical application of APF gel and CPP-ACP paste against plaque accumulation in children. The research applied a quasi-experimental method with a time-series design. The study was conducted at the Nur Hidayah and Ihsan Sakeena orphanages in Surakarta, where 30 children aged 6-12 were involved as research subjects, divided into two treatment groups namely the APF and CPP-ACP groups. Topical application of APF was given once on the first day, while that of CPP-ACP was administered once a day from the first until the seventh day. Plaque score data were obtained by PHP-M plaque score measurement. Total plaque scores were measured on day 1 before and after application, day 7 and day 14. Results show declining average plaque scores between the first day prior to topical application of APF and CPP-ACP and the fourteenth day afterwards. Independent samples tests reveal differences in effectiveness of topical APF gel and CPP-ACP paste application on plaque accumulation in children on day 7 and day 14, but no difference in plaque score change on day 1 ahead of and following application. Topical application of CPP-ACP paste decreases plaque accumulation in children more effectively than that of APF gel.

    For decades, Metal oxide (MOX) gas sensors have been commercially available and used in various applications such as the Smart City, gas monitoring, and safety due to advantages such as high sensitivity, a high detection range, fast reaction time, and cost-effectiveness. However, several factors affect the sensing ability of MOX gas sensors. This article presents the results of a study on the cross-sensitivity of MOX gas sensors toward ambient temperature and humidity. A gas sensor array consisting of temperature and humidity sensors and four different MOX gas sensors (MiCS-5524, GM-402B, GM-502B, and MiCS-6814) was developed. The sensors were subjected to various relative gas concentrations, temperatures (from 16◦C to 30◦C), and humidity levels (from 75% to 45%), representing a typical indoor environment. The results proved that the gas sensor responses were significantly affected by the temperature and humidity. The increased temperature and humidity levels led to a decreased response for all sensors, except for MiCS-6814, which showed the opposite response. Hence, this work proposed regression models for each sensor, which can correct the gas sensor response drift caused by the ambient temperature and humidity variations. The models were validated, and the standard deviations of the corrected sensor response were found to be 1.66 kΩ, 13.17 kΩ, 29.67 kΩ, and 0.12 kΩ, respectively. These values are much smaller compared to the raw sensor response (i.e., 18.22, 24.33 kΩ, 95.18 kΩ, and 2.99 kΩ), indicating that the model provided a more stable output and minimised the drift. Overall, the results also proved that the models can be used for MOX gas sensors employed in the training process, as well as for other sets of gas sensors.

    Respiratory is one of the vital signs used to monitor the progression of the illness that are important for clinical and health care fields. From home rehabilitation to intensive care monitoring, the rate of respiration must be constantly monitored as it offers a proactive approach for early detection of patient deterioration that can be used to trigger therapeutic procedures alarms. The use of invasive procedures based on contact transducers is typically necessary to measure the quantity. Nevertheless, these procedures might be troublesome due to the inconvenience and sensitivity of physical contact. Therefore, non-contact human breathing monitoring as a non-invasive procedure is important in long term intensive-care and home healthcare applications. In this paper, respiratory signals from two type of resting activities had been acquired and proposed a Deep Neural Network (DNN) model that can classify the respiratory signal into inhalation and exhalation signal. Several pre-processing techniques has been done onto the signal before it is implemented into the proposed model. The average recognition rate of the respiratory signal using the proposed method was 84.1% when the subject was sleeping and 83.8% when awake.

    Seasonal crops require reliable storage conditions to protect the yield once harvested. For long term storage, controlling the moisture content level in grains is challenging because existing moisture measuring techniques are time-consuming and laborious as measurements are carried out manually. The measurements are carried out using a sample and moisture may be unevenly distributed inside the silo/bin. Numerous studies have been conducted to measure the moisture content in grains utilising dielectric properties. To the best of authors’ knowledge, the utilisation of low-cost wireless technology operating in the 2.4 GHz and 915 MHz ISM bands such as Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) have not been widely investigated. This study focuses on the characterisation of 2.4 GHz Radio Frequency (RF) transceivers using ZigBee Standard and 868 to 915 MHz UHF RFID transceiver for moisture content classification and prediction using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models. The Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) from the wireless transceivers is used for moisture content prediction in rice. Four samples (2 kg of rice each) were conditioned to 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% moisture contents. The RSSI from both systems were obtained and processed. The processed data is used as input to different ANNs models such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), Random Forest, and Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP). The results show that the Random Forest method with one input feature (RSSI_WSN) provides the highest accuracy of 87% compared to the other four models. All models show more than 98% accuracy when two input features (RSSI_WSN and RSSI_TAG2) are used. Hence, Random Forest is a reliable model that can be used to predict the moisture content level in rice as it gives a high accuracy even when only one input feature is used.

    With the growth of artificial intelligence compute technology, the gas source localization problem would be solved by mobile robots equipped with gas sensing system and artificial intelligence compute units. This work presented a feasibility study of deep learning approach towards gas source localization by mobile robots. A deep neural network strategy was developed and incorporated with the Kernel DM+V gas distribution mapping method. The gas source localization work in this paper was performed on a controlled indoor testbed. From this work, it is shown that by incorporating the developed deep neural network model, it may help improved the gas source location prediction accuracy. A comparison of accuracy between Kernel DM+V and the neural network model is also presented to better visualize the improvement.

    In-vehicle air quality monitoring systems have been seen as promising paradigms for monitoring drivers’ conditions while they are driving. This is because some in-vehicle cabins contain pollutants that can cause drowsiness and fatigue to drivers. However, designing an efficient system that can predict in-vehicle air quality has challenges, due to the continuous variation in parameters in cabin environments. This paper presents a new approach, using deep learning techniques that can deal with the varying parameters inside the vehicle environment. In this case, two deep learning models, namely Long-short Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) are applied to classify and predict the air quality using time-series data collected from the built-in sensor hardware. Both are compared with conventional methods of machine learning models, including Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP). The results show that GRU has an excellent prediction performance with the highest coefficient of determination value (R2) of 0.97.
