The development of mobile robot for air pollution data capture (POPOBOT)
In the Modern era, the environmental issues have given significant impact to the
human live. The air pollution indoor and outdoor environment sometimes dangerous
to the human health and it needs to be justified. To fulfill this purpose, telemeasurement
process
and
technique
should
be
used.
Therefore,
in
this
research,
the
mobile
robot
with
equipped
by
several
air
quality
parameters sensors is developed.
The robot is controlled using remote control and using wireless connection system.
The air quality in target area will be monitored by using sensors which will capture
data and send it to the Central Control (laptop) for analyzing. And then to be able
monitor certain area investigation, the mobile robot is guided by using wireless
camera. Result from this project can make user to monitor and navigate the target
area by using mobile robot and this can make user know the situation on that area.
PIC16F887A has been chosen in this project as the main device which is controlling
all activities of the mobile robot. Data capture and robot movement has been done in
wireless to make user easy to do the monitoring activities. From result, knowing that
the error percentage of the data capture is small compare to the digital meter. So
from that knowing this project is effective because it make user easy to do air
pollution monitoring process also can prevent the gas poisoning cases from happen
Smart Computing and Sensing Technologies for Animal Welfare: A Systematic Review
Animals play a profoundly important and intricate role in our lives today.
Dogs have been human companions for thousands of years, but they now work
closely with us to assist the disabled, and in combat and search and rescue
situations. Farm animals are a critical part of the global food supply chain,
and there is increasing consumer interest in organically fed and humanely
raised livestock, and how it impacts our health and environmental footprint.
Wild animals are threatened with extinction by human induced factors, and
shrinking and compromised habitat. This review sets the goal to systematically
survey the existing literature in smart computing and sensing technologies for
domestic, farm and wild animal welfare. We use the notion of \emph{animal
welfare} in broad terms, to review the technologies for assessing whether
animals are healthy, free of pain and suffering, and also positively stimulated
in their environment. Also the notion of \emph{smart computing and sensing} is
used in broad terms, to refer to computing and sensing systems that are not
isolated but interconnected with communication networks, and capable of remote
data collection, processing, exchange and analysis. We review smart
technologies for domestic animals, indoor and outdoor animal farming, as well
as animals in the wild and zoos. The findings of this review are expected to
motivate future research and contribute to data, information and communication
management as well as policy for animal welfare
Design of a WSN Platform for Long-Term Environmental Monitoring for IoT Applications
The Internet of Things (IoT) provides a virtual view, via the Internet Protocol, to a huge variety of real life objects, ranging from a car, to a teacup, to a building, to trees in a forest. Its appeal is the ubiquitous generalized access to the status and location of any "thing" we may be interested in. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are well suited for long-term environmental data acquisition for IoT representation. This paper presents the functional design and implementation of a complete WSN platform that can be used for a range of long-term environmental monitoring IoT applications. The application requirements for low cost, high number of sensors, fast deployment, long lifetime, low maintenance, and high quality of service are considered in the specification and design of the platform and of all its components. Low-effort platform reuse is also considered starting from the specifications and at all design levels for a wide array of related monitoring application
