FUTURE PROJECTS
Solid Modelling of Bat Flapping Wing Kinematics
Recently, a technology-based bio-inspired has shown a gradually impact on human life. This project aims to study a flying behavior of bat as a preliminary study on the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for video aerial monitoring in Brunei. The ultimate goal for this long-term research study e.g. for monitoring bush fire in Brunei. The objective of this project is to model the kinematics of sophisticated bat flapping behavior using SolidWorks. The bat flapping-wing design project starts by investigating bat flying behavior in an indoor tunnel designed by internship Virginia Tech University students. The bat flying behavior will be captured by high-speed cameras installed inside the tunnel. According to this video camera recording, a detail of a bat flapping wing mechanism will be sketched. A four-bar-linkage mechanism will be used to model the bat flapping-wing movement. Once all parts are designed, the part will be printed using a 3D printer and will be building a prototype.

Development of real-time in vivo corrosion monitoring for absorable medical implant materials
Over 2.2 million people per year require surgery to repair critical bone defects resulting from accidents, diseases, and trauma. The people with a bone fracture are usually undergoing with two times surgery, one for bone repair to attach the metal implant and another one is for removing the metal implant from the body after the bone has been recovered. This second surgery may psychologically inconvenient for the patient because of pain or required an additional cost. Due to this reason, an absorbable metal implant is necessary. The implant has certain desired structural/mechanical properties and a desire to minimize the toxicity effect against the human body. With the development of material science engineering, absorbable metal implants are currently being developed in decades. The objective is one the metal implant attached to the body, it is not necessary to remove the metal implant from the body because it can absorb to the body by a chemical reaction and biological process. The research mainly focuses on the measurement of biomedical materials corrosion inside the body. Where this will affect directly for the health for the human. The present invention related to the field of bio-medical implants made of biodegradable material could be advantageous for a temporary application, such as mechanical support during bone healing. After completion of the healing process, the implant should be removed to avoid long-term side effects.

Real-time surface quality monitoring for adaptive manufacturing process parameters with embedded deep learning method
In recent years, the development of advanced manufacturing technology has been continuously pushed towards a higher demand for specification due to a need for better and more consistent product quality, reduced product cost and shorter manufacturing process. The advancement of the manufacturing process equipped with an intelligent method opens possibilities to answer the existing challenges. To date, the surface quality monitoring of abrasive processes such as grinding and polishing relies on a visual inspection and is typically conducted in offline mode once the entire process completed. The surface quality measurements such as thickness, surface roughness, and material removal rate require a considerable amount of time and skilled operators, because of the repetitive process (de-mounting and mounting) of the component/work coupon to the fixture. This research will develop a real-time monitoring method for the abrasive process by connecting sensor, robot and DAQ device in the hardware setup; and embed a deep learning method into the system integration. A convolutional neural network (CNN) will be used in this research to predict the surface quality parameter. The prediction result of CNN will be connected to the robot to provide a decision on whether the current process is operating in normal mode. If the process is running abnormally, the process parameters will adaptively be altered based on the decision input from the CNN method. This real-time monitoring and the adaptive mechanism will maintain the quality of the component with reduced overall manufacturing time.
