Smart Agricultural Rail Robotics System

Abstract

Smart Agriculture has rapidly developed in recent years, particularly with the integration of robotics and automation technologies to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, thereby enhancing the quality of current agricultural practices. A key innovation in this area is the rail-based robotic arm, designed to enhance work efficiency using a rail system with high precision and effectiveness. The application of this robotic arm covers various processes, such as planting, sorting, maintenance, harvesting, and resource management, allowing continuous operation and reducing human labor in repetitive and high-risk tasks. Studies have shown that the use of rail-based robotic arms in agriculture can significantly improve work efficiency, reduce production costs, and effectively mitigate environmental impact. By using robots in agricultural processes, it is possible to reduce contamination, lower the risk of crop damage, and make agriculture more sustainable. Additionally, it can increase accuracy in operations on limited spaces or farms with diverse crops. From these findings, it can be concluded that adopting rail-based robotic arm technology in agriculture not only enhances long-term production efficiency but also promotes sustainable agriculture and maximizes resource use, meeting future agricultural demands

Nanocellulose innovation for the beauty industry

Agricultural products and by-products are important raw materials in various industries including cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Agro-based fibers have the composition, properties and structure that make them suitable for uses as composite-cosmetic industry. Upon microwave digestion, cellulose have been successfully synthesized into nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) with lengths from 50-1000 nm, widths between 5-70 nm. Nanocrystalline cellulose was grafted with cosmetic active ingredients such as glycerin), sodium hyaluronate), glycolic acid, and nicotinamide. The beauty active ingredients attached nanocelluloses can penetrate through the skin to enhance beauty and youth.

Design Electric Tuk-Tuk for the Development of New Automotive Technology

This project aims to design and develop an electric tuk-tuk by converting the traditional combustion engine system to an electric system, supporting the reduction of air pollution and promoting sustainable automotive technology. The electric tuk-tuk is designed using a BLDC electric motor and a control system specifically adapted for the unique driving style of three-wheeled vehicles in Thailand. The study considers suitable energy systems and includes interviews with traditional tuk-tuk drivers to ensure the vehicle meets everyday usability needs. The findings suggest that adopting electric tuk-tuks not only reduces emissions and PM2.5 particulate matter but also enhances an eco-friendly image for Thailand’s tourism sector while supporting domestic innovation and economic growth.
