PROJECTS

IoT 4.0

 

Goal: The principal objective of this project is to compile and store complex secure applications in the Internet of Things devices with limited computational resources. This process is carried out by integrating encryption, machine learning, and real-time operative system algorithms. Therefore, IoT devices will have the ability to make their own decisions and handle the data to improve their performance.

Smart-Embedded Agriculture

 

Goal: In the traditional food transaction, there are many problems, such as lack of trust between customers and businesses, and the information of food trade is easy to tamper. Also, the food industry has realized the great potential of the IoT. In this sector, limited food resources must be managed responsibly to feed as many people as possible. IoT techniques can be used to monitor the entire food supply chain and improve environmental monitoring and control, enabling to monitor crops via sensors, e. g.,  to detect diseases at an early stage \cite{stach2020}. Smart farming depends on IoT devices to acquire data from environmental conditions from crops and take decisions by machine learning techniques. Typical applications use a few sensors and send data to the cloud repositories. It is a very know-process; however, in an industrial application, when crops are in large fields and different types, it is necessary to develop multiple IoT devices such as wireless sensor networks and mobile robots that send information by sensors and cameras can be implemented.

Intelligence for Embedded Systems

 

Goal: The principal project goal is to implement machine learning techniques inside an embedded system (ES) with limited resources. Therefore is necessary to do data cleansing and dimensionality reduction algorithms inside of ES to reduce the computational load and memory ram used for the microprocessor.

 

The embedded systems acquire data for different sensors applied in areas such: bio-signals, agriculture, education, among others.

Interactive Data Visualization by Means of Controllable Dimensionality Reduction

 

Goal:  Goal: The objective of this project is to link the field of dimensionality reduction (DR) with that of information visualization (IV), in order to harness the special properties of the latter within DR frameworks. In particular, the properties of controllability and interactivity are of interest, which should make the DR outcomes significantly more understandable and tractable for the (no-necessarily-expert) user. These two properties allow the user to have the freedom to select the best way for representing data. Then, in other words, it can be said that the goal of this project is to develop a DR framework that facilitates an interactive and quick visualization of data representation to make more intelligible the DR outcomes, as well as to allow users modifying the views of data according to their needs in an affordable way.
