Research Project
Smart Environmental Control through Data-Driven Precision Farming on Edge Devices for Mushroom Production
Industrial Grant: RM50,000
Project duration: 2025-2027
Project info:
This project aims to monitor environmental parameters within the mushroom house—such as temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide levels—to control fans and humidifiers that accelerate mushroom growth. Multiple sensor units are installed inside the mushroom house, and the collected data is transmitted to a server for storage. An edge computing device processes these readings and controls electrical equipment such as fans, humidifiers, cooling pads, and exhaust fans. An LCD display allows for the viewing of readings and manual control, while the system can also be accessed via a smartphone
IoT-Driven Sensory Network and Real-Time Dashboard for Sustainable Hydroponics
KPT Grant: RM10,000
Project Duration: 2026-2028
Project Info:
This project aims to monitor the readings of the nutrient solution in a hydroponic tank. The concentration level of the nutrient solution is crucial for optimizing plant growth. Key parameters—such as EC, pH, and water temperature—are essential to ensure the vegetables thrive. Additionally, a water flow sensor is used to verify that the water pump is functioning correctly. All data regarding these parameters is stored in a database on the edge computing device used for the project. Users can view these readings on an LCD screen or via a smartphone
Remote-controlled Agriculture Sprayer Robot
KPT Grant: RM 130,000
Project duration: 2024-2026
Project info:
Spraying pesticides and fertilizers on vegetable crops is crucial for disease prevention and promoting healthy plant growth. A remote-controlled sprayer innovation offers an alternative to manual methods, which expose farmers to chemicals and pose health risks. This device delivers an effective mist spray and is capable of prolonged operation thanks to its integrated battery-charging engine. Its compact and lightweight design allows it to navigate uneven planting plots and traverse narrow pathways
Remote-Controlled Lawn Mower
KPT Grant: RM 130,000
Project duration: 2024-2026
Project info:
This innovative remote-controlled lawn mower is designed to help growers manage their fields more efficiently. A remote control is used to operate the mower, with a maximum range of up to 200 meters. The machine is equipped with two high-torque motors capable of navigating uneven terrain within the cultivation area. Its battery charging system, powered by a 2-stroke engine, charges the battery during field operations, enabling extended periods of use
AgriBlast X1
UniMAP Grant: RM 10,000
Project info:
This innovation aims to deter crop pests—such as monkeys, wild boars, and birds—that frequently damage harvests. The system generates loud booming sounds at set intervals. System operations are monitored via an IoT-based setup, and the unit is powered by either the mains grid or a solar-charged battery. This project helps farmers increase crop yields and reduces the risk of financial loss caused by pests.
