This project presents the development of a "Smart Cat House" using Internet of Things (IoT) and image processing technology to facilitate and enhance the safety of cat care for owners. The infrastructure of the smart cat house consists of an ESP8266 board connected to an ESP32 CAM camera for cat monitoring, and an Arduino board that controls various sensors such as a motion sensor in the litter box, a DHT22 temperature and humidity sensor, an ultrasonic water and food level sensor, including a water supply system for cats, an automatic feeding system, and a ventilation system controlled by a DC FAN that adjusts its operation according to the measured temperature to maintain a suitable environment. There is also an IR sensor to detect the cat's entry into the litter box and an automatic sand changing system with a SERVO MOTOR. All systems are connected and controlled through the Blynk application, which can be used on mobile phones, allowing owners to monitor and care for their pets remotely. Cat detection and identification uses image processing technology from the ESP32 CAM camera in conjunction with YOLO (You Only Look Once), a high-performance object detection algorithm, to detect and distinguish between cats and people. Data from various sensors are sent to the Arduino board to control the operation of various devices in the smart cat house, such as turning lights on and off, automatically changing sand, adjusting temperature and humidity, feeding food and water at scheduled times, or ventilation. The use of a connection system via ESP8266 and the Blynk application makes it easy and convenient to control various devices. Owners can monitor and control the operation of the entire system from anywhere with internet access.
ในปัจจุบัน ผู้คนจำนวนมากเลือกเลี้ยงแมวเป็นเพื่อนคลายเหงา แต่ด้วยภาระหน้าที่การงาน การเรียน หรือธุระส่วนตัว ทำให้หลายครั้งเจ้าของไม่สามารถดูแลแมวได้อย่างใกล้ชิดตลอดเวลา ก่อให้เกิดความกังวลใจและเป็นห่วงสัตว์เลี้ยงที่บ้าน ปัญหาเหล่านี้เป็นแรงบันดาลใจให้เกิดแนวคิดในการพัฒนาบ้านแมวอัจฉริยะ (Smart Cat House) เพื่ออำนวยความสะดวกและตอบโจทย์ความต้องการของผู้เลี้ยงแมวในยุคปัจจุบัน บ้านแมวอัจฉริยะเป็นระบบที่ถูกออกแบบมาเพื่อช่วยให้เจ้าของสามารถติดตามและดูแลแมวได้จากระยะไกลผ่านแอปพลิเคชันบนมือถือ โดยภายในบ้านแมวอัจฉริยะจะมีระบบต่างๆ ที่ช่วยอำนวยความสะดวกสบายให้กับทั้งเจ้าของและแมว อาทิ ระบบควบคุมการให้อาหารและน้ำ ระบบจัดการกระบะทราย ระบบควบคุมอุณหภูมิ และระบบกล้องวงจรปิด เป็นต้น ทำให้บ้านแมวอัจฉริยะเป็นทางออกที่ตอบโจทย์สำหรับผู้เลี้ยงแมวที่ไม่ค่อยมีเวลา แต่ยังคงต้องการดูแลสัตว์เลี้ยงของตนให้มีความสุขและมีสุขภาพแข็งแรง

The Thai Sign Language Generation System aims to create a comprehensive 3D modeling and animation platform that translates Thai sentences into dynamic and accurate representations of Thai Sign Language (TSL) gestures. This project enhances communication for the Thai deaf community by leveraging a landmark-based approach using a Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder (VQVAE) and a Large Language Model (LLM) for sign language generation. The system first trains a VQVAE encoder using landmark data extracted from sign videos, allowing it to learn compact latent representations of TSL gestures. These encoded representations are then used to generate additional landmark-based sign sequences, effectively expanding the training dataset using the BigSign ThaiPBS dataset. Once the dataset is augmented, an LLM is trained to output accurate landmark sequences from Thai text inputs, which are then used to animate a 3D model in Blender, ensuring fluid and natural TSL gestures. The project is implemented using Python, incorporating MediaPipe for landmark extraction, OpenCV for real-time image processing, and Blender’s Python API for 3D animation. By integrating AI, VQVAE-based encoding, and LLM-driven landmark generation, this system aspires to bridge the communication gap between written Thai text and expressive TSL gestures, providing the Thai deaf community with an interactive, real-time sign language animation platform.

KinderForest : Puzzle Building Game with VR Technology is designed to utilize Virtual Reality (VR) technology with the primary aim of promoting creative problem-solving skills and basic practical application abilities among players. This project presents the game in an Augmented Virtual Reality (AR VR) format, emphasizing physical engagement of players during gameplay while fostering creativity and fundamental application skills. The project team has chosen to utilize Unreal Engine 5.1 and Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality glasses to develop the game in the form of augmented virtual reality technology. Within the game, there will be various levels that require creative thinking and different approaches to pass. Time constraints will be a crucial element in completing missions and progressing through these levels. Players will physically move their bodies in response to in-game movements. Each level will present unique challenges that will necessitate both physical movement and problem-solving skills. The game will provide different rewards based on the outcomes of mission completion, and players will be informed of their results once they have successfully passed a level.

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.
