This work is motivated by the need for a suitable authentication mechanism for our proposed decentralized File-based Internet of Things (IoT) System. In this work, we are developing authentication mechanism for decentralized Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) by integrating block-chain technology including the Non-Fungible Token (NFT).

In this work, we adapt the Multi-Trial Vector-based Differential Evolution (MTDE) in clustering algorithm.

In this research, we aim to develop an ability in intelligent systems to be able to distinguish one object from another object, or to discover different objects in its environment without being trained in supervised manner, i.e. without the labels. The ultimate goal is to enable an autonomous agent such as a personal robot to autonomously discover different objects in its environment from continuous observation of its surrounding through vision sensors.

In this research, we explore the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL), especially the Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) in robot navigation ion crowded environment. The ultimate goal is to improve the local and global planning of the navigation system through RL targeting the performance in crowded or complex environment where existing local and global planning techniques are not efficient.

This is our initial attempt to learn about autonomous driving. We did a few final year projects in trying to convert a toy car to a self-driving car.

In this project, we are developing an AR-based indoor navigator mobile app to guide a user to navigate from any location to a desired destination inside a building. The ultimate goal is to apply the indoor positioning technique in mobile robots. The project started with developing an AR-based outdoor navigator application for UBD campus and we have extended the application with indoor navigator capability.

In this work, we are developing a new form of IoT implementation where the connectivity is achieved by leverage non-IoT cloud services that are widely used by general public such as OneDrive, DropBox and Google Drive. For the moment, we have called this a file-based IoT system (FIoT).

In this project, we implemented the ROS navigation stack on the Eddie robot platform. We replaced the controller with a Raspberry Pi and a laptop. We learned to setup the Robot Operating System (ROS), implement the navigation stack, configure and write the necessary transformation, odometry and motor control nodes specific to the Eddie robot.

One of the key abilities for effective human-robot interaction is the understanding of human intention by the robots. In this project, we focus on recognition of human facial and body expressions from multimodal input signals, i.e. visual and audio.

In this project, we implemented the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) on an iRobot Create robot, the Wanderer-v1. The implementation uses Python. The SLAM was implemented from scratch involving implementation of the sensor model, motion model and the localization using particle filter. The implementation is a FastSLAM. In addition, A-star search has been implemented for path planning. The robot is able to navigate to a given location while performing SLAM and avoiding obstacles.

We are developing a framework for autonomous HAR suitable in our natural living environment, i.e. the sensor-less homes. The framework uses unsupervised learning approach to enable a robot, acting as a mobile sensor hub, to autonomously collect data and learn the different human activities without requiring manual (human) labeling of the data.

In this project, we constructed a robotic gripper to solve a 3×3 Rubik’s cube. The robot uses a webcam to detect the faces of the Rubik’s cube and a Basic Stamp microcontroller to control the movement of the gripper. A* search algorithm is implemented on a laptop that connects to the Basic Stamp microcontroller.
