    Robot Face and Its Integration to the Mobile Robot for Wireless Signal Collection in the Fingerprinting-Based Indoor Positioning System
    The wireless data collection for instance the Received Signal Strength (RSS) of the Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) remained unfavourable in the Indoor Positioning System utilizing the signal fingerprinting approach. This is because the enormous sampling time and routines works making it tedious human labour. To alleviate this issue, we propose to use a robot for wireless data collection. The robot, named 'ICSiBOT' is a service robot with multiple purpose such as assisting human in daily lives, guest or hospitality robot and man others. This paper mainly describes the ICSiBOT robot face with speech recognition technology and the integration of the robot face to the motion controller. The experimental was conducted to see the correlation between the synthesized instructions from the speech in terms of distance need to be travelled i.e., the location for wireless signal collection and translate them into actual distance travelled. The results showed that the robot is able to travel to the specific distance as instructed to the robot face.

    Plasmodium knowlesi (PK) is the fifth most prevalent malarial parasite species that causes serious health problems. Generally, PK present in a thin blood smear is observed using a microscope to differentiate between trophozoites (PKT), schizonts (PKS), gametocytes (PKG), and white blood cells (WBCs). This process is time-consuming and strenuous for the human eye. This study developed an intelligent classification procedure for PK using image processing and classification methods. The processes involved starting from image acquisition, and contrast enhancement based on Combination Local and Global Statistical Data (CLGSD), and local contrast stretching (LCS). Subsequently, a segmentation procedure was developed to segment the malaria images into two regions, namely malarial parasites and background regions. The proposed 16 feature sets were extracted, which consisted of the size of the object, size ratio of the object per infected RBC, and seven moments for each object shape based on size and perimeter. Finally, to validate the procedure performance, the proposed procedure was tested using 800 malarial parasites and WBC images. The results showed that the proposed procedure can classify three stages of PK, namely PKT, PKS, and PKG, as well as WBCs with an accuracy of 99.56% for training and 98.84% for validation, using a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) trained using the Levernberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm.

    Integrating Vision System to a Pick and Place Cartesian Robot
    Vision aided pick and place cartesian robot is a combination of machine vision system and robotic system. They communicate with each other simultaneously to perform object sorting. In this project, machine vision algorithm for object sorting to solve the problem in failure sorting due to imperfection of images edges and different types of colours is proposed. The image is acquired by a camera and followed by image calibration. Pre-processing of image is performed through these methods, which are HSI colour space transformation, Gaussian filter for image filtering, Otsu's method for image binarization, and Canny edge detection. LabVIEW edge-based geometric matching is selected for template matching. After the vision application analysed the image, electrical signal will send to robotic arm for object sorting if the acquired image is matched with template image. The proposed machine vision algorithm has yielded an accurate template matching score from 800 to 1000 under different disturbances and conditions. This machine vision algorithm provides more customizable parameters for each methods yet improves the accuracy of template matching.
