A reusable immunosensor that employed surface acoustic wave (SAW) was developed for monitoring of physiological information. The SAW immunosensor was fabricated by modifying a propagation area of the SAW device with a self-assembled monolayer of pH tolerant protein, ORLA85, which allowed repeating of surface regeneration by changing pH, and thereby rapid and repetitive (semi-continuous) measurement of analyte concentration. In experiment, initially a SAW device used for the sensor was characterized using a series of solution with various viscosity, and results showed a good correlation between phase change and solution viscosity from 0.88 to 1.7 mPa-s. In addition, performance of developed SAW immunosensor was evaluated using mouse IgG and anti-mouse IgG as model capturing molecule and analyte. It revealed that dynamic range of the immunosensor was 0.16–100 μg/mL with a measurement time of 20 minutes, and semi-continuous measurement was possible with a high reproducibility represented by a coefficient of variation of 3.4% for five repetitive measurement. These demonstrated that SAW immunosensor holds a huge potential for application to monitoring of time course of biomolecules which reflect physiological conditions.

Our team has developed a novel pen-like hand held device for real time examination of oral mucosal abnormalities like pre-malignant dysplasia and early stage cancerous tumors. This device enables doctors to easily navigate and palpate the complete oral cavity region. This prevents the need for the patient to completely open their mouth and thus experience discomfort. The front end of the device consists of a disposable MEMS based miniaturized tactile sensor (f=3mm) and a CCD camera with integrated LED lighting. The unique selling point of our device is the ability to obtain tactile information that is currently lacking in conventional oral screening devices. Thus the malignancy of oral lesions can be differentiated based on their hardness/stiffness response that significantly varies between normal and cancerous tissues.

An effective way to construct high performance reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/Ag nanoparticles(AgNPs) photodetectors on silicon substrate had been developed. The reduced graphene oxide solution was spin-coated on SiO2/Si substrate and Ag electrode was then deposited on top to form the metal/semiconductor interface. To further improve the performance of photodetectors, AgNPs were mixed with rGO solution and spin coated on SiO2/Si substrate followed by Ag electrode deposition. At the bias of −5 V, the on/off ratio of rGO/AgNPs photodetector was enhanced from 1.7 to 2.2 compared with sample without AgNPs This spin-coated rGO/AgNPs composites paves the way to the future development of high-performance optoelectronic devices through simple techniques.

Vibration analysis is a key troubleshooting methodology for assessing the working condition and health of machines, and the ability to sense vibrations from a distance is an added advantage. In this regard, we have demonstrated a low-cost, unobtrusive, autonomous vibration sensing system using optical strobing [1, 2]. While functionalizing this system was an important milestone, its deployment feasibility in real world conditions was subject to numerous factors that include: sensing distance, illuminance conditions, marker size for the purpose of visual sensing, and duty cycle of the strobing unit. In this paper, we study these operational challenges and analyze the performance of this system under those constraints. Based on these empirical studies, we recommend that the system should be operated at a distance of not more than 1 m from the vibration scene, and at a strobing duty-cycle rate that does not exceed 1%.

In this study, an electromechanical concept in the dynamics of piezoelectric films is employed to manipulate the resonant frequency of a real-time sensor and adjust it to the frequency of ambient vibration. Using only one spectrum sensor we would be able to measure the vibration at a wide range of frequencies and overcome many sources of error such as hysteresis, variation in tension and geometry with time, and influence of temperature on electromechanical properties of sensors. The equation of motion of piezoelectric films is presented and it shows that the bias voltage plays a very important role in the fundamental resonant frequency of the PVDF sensors. The effect of the bias voltage on a ribbon PVDF sensor is investigated experimentally. Results show that not only is the resonant frequency changed but the amplitude of the vibration, and consequently the output voltage of the sensor, would be enhanced in a wide range of frequency resolution.

This paper presents an intelligent control strategy for a wheel type tree pruning robot tilting control during climbing procedure. There are two types of tilting scenarios needed to be considered, initial setting tilt and dynamic tilt. To compensate the initial installation tilt, a tiling fuzzy controller is specifically designed to adjust the robot platform to the horizontal position before climbing up. For robot dynamic tilt, which is mainly caused by wheel slippage during the climbing, a slippage fuzzy control system is developed through the control of stepper and DC motor via the IMU. The fuzzy controllers were implemented in MATLAB Simulink and simulated in SimMechanics. The simulations verify the feasibility of the robot tilting control algorithm and the effectiveness of the fuzzy controllers.

In Taiwan, small-scale farming is very common. Most farmers cultivate their crops based on their experience; therefore, pesticide over-spraying and over-fertilization often occur. In addition, stock farming with enterprise management strategies sometimes leads to antibiotic or other harmful chemical residuals on the carcass of animals and poultry due to improper food additives in fodders, thus causing food security problems. Recently, due to the emerging of agricultural product security problems, consumers are paying more and more attention to food safety. To achieve the goal of sustainable agriculture, the government in Taiwan has established a product traceability system. With the traceable marks, all agricultural products' information can be inquired through farmers' records on the production and sales via the Taiwan agricultural products security traceability information network. On behalf of the government, certified organizations come to the production site to confirm whether the production records are in compliance with the requirements. These certified organizations inspect agricultural products by sampling the products, and every inspected batch will be recorded and made traceable under the supervision. Currently, Taiwan has been promoting the agricultural product traceability system, and hopes that farmers will use the system voluntarily. However, since no mandatory requirements have been imposed, many farmers do not use the product traceability system. Moreover, the traceability system itself may cause inconveniences that prevent it from being accepted by all farmers. For example, farmers must prepare cultivation records and upload the records to a specified website established by the Council of Agriculture. This might run into two problems. First, most farmers are elderly citizens, and it might be difficult to teach them to use computers. Second, the product traceability records are created through manual inputs, the correctness cannot be ensured. Therefore, the study develops a farm production traceability system bases on the technology of Internet of Things that enables the system itself to create real-time production records and farmers can concentrate on their cultivation work.

Robots that perform services for humans are expected to be effective and useful. Guide robots are examples of such service robots. For a guide robot to act according to the needs of the guidance target, the guide robot must have the ability to differentiate between the guidance target and other individuals. Therefore, the guide robot requires personal identification functionality. Here, a method to acquire an individual's upper-body skeletal information using a three-dimensional range image sensor, and to perform personal identification based on these data, is proposed. Personal identification using the proposed method is performed for 13 subjects, and identification is achieved with an accuracy of 98.4%. These results indicate the feasibility of personal identification using upper-body skeletal information.
