Summary
Towards Internet of Things Enabled Automated Mushroom Cultivation. This project aims to develop novel Internet-of-Things based learning techniques to inform the design and construction of a portable, automated system for the cultivation of mushrooms. The expected outcomes are a portable smart mushroom cultivation system that provides access to new agriculture techniques and local, fresh supplies in rural and remote areas; learning algorithms that detect mushroom ripeness and set the best environ ....Towards Internet of Things Enabled Automated Mushroom Cultivation. This project aims to develop novel Internet-of-Things based learning techniques to inform the design and construction of a portable, automated system for the cultivation of mushrooms. The expected outcomes are a portable smart mushroom cultivation system that provides access to new agriculture techniques and local, fresh supplies in rural and remote areas; learning algorithms that detect mushroom ripeness and set the best environmental parameters; and a dataset of mushroom cultivation parameters. These products, and associated training opportunities through a strong focus on public and industry engagement, will benefit the industry partners and horticultural producers to improve resource efficiency, waste reduction, and overall yield.Read moreRead less

Summary
Developing a deployment-ready robust controller for wave energy converters. This project aims to improve the economic viability of wave energy converters that convert the power of ocean waves into electricity. It will develop deployment-ready control systems which will effectively predict, model and respond to wave activity, maximising energy production and resulting in an overall reduction in the cost of renewable energy.
The fundamental knowledge gained will increase the technology readiness ....Developing a deployment-ready robust controller for wave energy converters. This project aims to improve the economic viability of wave energy converters that convert the power of ocean waves into electricity. It will develop deployment-ready control systems which will effectively predict, model and respond to wave activity, maximising energy production and resulting in an overall reduction in the cost of renewable energy.
The fundamental knowledge gained will increase the technology readiness of wave energy and drive the next generation of wave energy converters by improving their commercial viability. This project is an opportunity for Australia to become a world leader in the global transformation towards clean and affordable low-carbon technologies for domestic and global markets.
