In raising crickets for meat consumption, the growth rate and growth period of crickets are important data used to identify the number of crickets per breeding area at each age. Therefore, the researcher has an idea to create a system for monitoring the growth rate of crickets in a closed system using an infrared camera combined with computer image processing to study the growth and identify the growth period of crickets at each age in order to obtain knowledge that can be disseminated to farmers to improve the breeding process for maximum efficiency.
ปัจจุบันจิ้งหรีดถือได้ว่าเป็นสัตว์เศรษฐกิจชนิดใหม่ของประเทศไทยซึ่งทางภาครัฐโดยเฉพาะกรมปศุสัตว์ได้เริ่มมีการส่งเสริมให้ภาคการเกษตรได้เพาะเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดเพื่อการบริโภคสำหรับการส่งออก และเป็นการตอบรับกับเทรนด์อุตสาหกรรมอาหารใหม่ (Novel food) ตามแนวทางขององค์การอาหาร และเกษตรแห่งสหประชาชาติ (FAO : Food and Agriculture Organization) ซึ่งคาดการณ์เอาไว้ว่าจำนวนประชากรโลกจะเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่องทำให้ความต้องการแหล่งโปรตีนมีมากขึ้นตามไปด้วย คณะผู้วิจัยจึงมีแนวความคิดที่จะหาสร้างระบบเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดที่มีประสิทธิภาพ

Facial Expression Recognition (FER) has attracted considerable attention in fields such as healthcare, customer service, and behavior analysis. However, challenges remain in developing a robust system capable of adapting to various environments and dynamic situations. In this study, the researchers introduced an Ensemble Learning approach to merge outputs from multiple models trained in specific conditions, allowing the system to retain old information while efficiently learning new data. This technique is advantageous in terms of training time and resource usage, as it reduces the need to retrain a new model entirely when faced with new conditions. Instead, new specialized models can be added to the Ensemble system with minimal resource requirements. The study explores two main approaches to Ensemble Learning: averaging outputs from dedicated models trained under specific scenarios and using Mixture of Experts (MoE), a technique that combines multiple models each specialized in different situations. Experimental results showed that Mixture of Experts (MoE) performs more effectively than the Averaging Ensemble method for emotion classification in all scenarios. The MoE system achieved an average accuracy of 84.41% on the CK+ dataset, 54.20% on Oulu-CASIA, and 61.66% on RAVDESS, surpassing the 71.64%, 44.99%, and 57.60% achieved by Averaging Ensemble in these datasets, respectively. These results demonstrate MoE’s ability to accurately select the model specialized for each specific scenario, enhancing the system’s capacity to handle more complex environments.

The objective of this research is to utilize waste slag in industrial applications and help mitigate flooding, water accumulation, and ponding issues. Currently, slag from the steel smelting or refining process is commonly used as a component in construction materials, such as road surfaces. However, slag has properties that make it difficult for water to permeate, leading to poor drainage and increased flooding problems. This study focuses on improving the properties of pavement materials to enhance their strength and water permeability. This can be achieved through physical structural modifications or the addition of chemical agents such as HPMC, which increases void spaces to facilitate water absorption and drainage according to required standards. The utilization of waste slag not only helps reduce production costs and improve material performance but also minimizes environmental impacts and promotes the sustainable use of resources.

This project involves the development of a plant care system for dormitories using IoT (Internet of Things). The system is implemented through programming on an ESP-32 board and controlled via sensors for automated watering. The commands are operated through smartphones, supporting both iOS and Android. It is expected that this project will make plant care in dormitories easier and more convenient.
