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

Testing of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) based on IEC 61851-1 Annex A

This project focuses on developing a test device for an AC charger for electric vehicles according to the IEC 61851-1 Annex A standard by simulating the test circuit inside an electric vehicle according to the standard to test the operation of the AC charger. The test topic is related to the communication between the electric vehicle and the charger via a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control circuit system and creating an operation manual (WI) to prepare for testing in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 standards, which are general requirements for laboratory capabilities in conducting tests and/or calibrations. The overall picture of this project is to develop test equipment and create an operation manual by collecting knowledge and various devices and then comparing the data to meet the abovementioned standards to test the Type II AC charger in each state. The test equipment consists of a communication part between the test equipment and the AC charger using a PLC S7-1200 and an HMI to control the operation of the switches in the test equipment circuit, including controlling parameters and displaying results. The equipment used to measure values ​​is an oscilloscope and a multimeter that have undergone a calibration process to comply with the specified standards.

Detection of salivary biomarker  for migraine diagnosis

Detection of salivary biomarker for migraine diagnosis

Migraine, a prevalent neurological disorder, is the third most common disease globally, causing significant health and financial burdens. It has four stages: prodrome, aura, headache, and postdrome. The prodrome (also known as premonitory) stage is crucial as it precedes the headache by up to 72 hours. Taking medication during the premonitory peroid has shown to prevent the headache phase . However, the symptoms of premonitory period lack specificity, making it difficult for patients to know if they’re experiencing premonitory symptoms. Calcitonin-gene related peptide (cGRP),is a protein that plays a key role in migraine pathogenesis and studies found that salivary cGRP levels increase during the premonitory stage. This study aims to develop and evaluate a lateral flow immunoassay kit for detecting salivary cGRP levels in migraine patients during the prodrome stage. It can serve as a confirmation tool for premonitory symptoms.
