Paper Title : Automating Tomorrow: The Convergence of AI and Robotics

GAYATHRI DILI

ADI SHANKARA INSTUTUTE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
Abstract:

The distinction between AI—the capacity of machines to simulate human thought—and robots—traditionally programmed devices—is becoming increasingly hazy. This study examines this fascinating convergence, in which artificial intelligence (AI) gives robots more freedom and flexibility. We explore how artificial intelligence subfields—such as computer vision for object detection, machine learning for navigation, and natural language processing for communication—are reshaping robots. This gives rise to a new class of intelligent robots: autonomous mobility robots navigating warehouses, collaborative robots working alongside humans, service robots helping in healthcare and customer service, and industrial robots completing complex tasks with greater precision. These developments in a range of businesses will be demonstrated through case studies. Intelligent robots have enormous potential to change our future, from manufacturing to healthcare and agriculture.

Paper Title : Results-based Monitoring of a Localized Project Intervention using Agile: Indicators for Short and Long-term Development Program Goals Phase 1

Analiza Acuña-Villacorte

Bulacan State University Main Campus
Abstract:

The study aims to describe the performance of the research-based extension project of the BulSU CAL Department of English as a basis for the university's short and long-term development goals in research and extension. The proposed extension program focuses on capacitating teachers to write classroom-based research. Four indicators have been established to assess project impact: measurability, management, interactivity, and needs analysis. To ensure meaningful participation in the program, the study also sought to reveal gender and age variation across the indicators. Data were obtained from the 27 target recipients from a public national high school in Bulakan, Bulacan. This paper highlights that the proposed capacity program must be needs- based and participatory and promote a joint learning process. Significant gender differences were revealed in the following areas: management, interactivity, and needs analysis, while no age differences were found in all indicators.

Paper Title : Feeding the Future: AI’s Transformative Impact on Livestock Farming and Global Food Security

Bima Bagaskara S.Pt

Andalas University
Abstract:

Food security in developing countries is a multifaceted challenge intensified by climate change, population growth, and resource depletion. Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the livestock sector presents a promising avenue to enhance food security. AI technologies can optimize various aspects of livestock management, including health monitoring, breeding practices, and feed optimization. This paper reviews the current state of AI applications in livestock management, examining recent advancements and the barriers to AI adoption in the livestock sector. Key opportunities include optimizing livestock management, improving disease detection, optimizing breeding, and enhancing feed and nutrition management. Conversely, challenges encompass the high cost of AI technologies, limited technical expertise, and infrastructural deficits. This paper explores AI's potential to mitigate climate change and resource depletion impacts on livestock farming, enhancing food security in developing countries. By improving productivity, reducing disease and mortality, and optimizing resource use, AI technologies contribute to a stable and reliable food supply. Future research should develop scalable AI solutions tailored to the diverse conditions of developing countries, ensuring benefits for all farmers and contributing to global food security.

The purposed study shows the development of an artificial intelligence-based desktop assistant designed to increase accessibility for the visually impaired. This study aims to solve the problems visually impaired users encounter while accessing and navigating platforms. It focuses on providing a comfortable and efficient experience, inspired by successful applications such as desktop assistant, email and personal voice assistant. Similar to the voice assistant concept, our desktop assistant is designed to perform tasks and provide various services based on the user's voice commands. Synchronization techniques include speech recognition used to translate commands and responses through voice communication, allowing visually impaired users to work, manage tasks, and interact with content. The goal is to make computer communication easier, especially for people who have trouble using traditional input such as the keyboard. Combining features such as document creation, web browsing and computer tasks, our artificial intelligence-powered desktop assistant aims to revolutionize digital access and production for visually impaired users. The goal is to take an important step towards empowering the visually impaired in the digital age by creating a more inclusive and user-friendly environment.
