Portable Hydrogen Generator and Low Cost Hydrogen Fuel Cell System Development
In this project, we focus on development and fabrication of low cost hydrogen fuel cells for portable applications. In order to produce energy by using hydrogen, we need a hydrogen generator and a hydrogen fuel cell.
A unique portable hydrogen generator and low cost hydrogen fuel cell system will be fabricated, as shown below:
The main objectives:-
To develop the technologies for a portable hydrogen generator and low cost fuel
cell system;
-
To fabricate a hydrogen generator and low cost fuel cell system for portable
clean energy application;
-
To characterize the efficiency of the hydrogen fuel cell system;
-
To explore new catalysts for hydrogen fuel cell;
-
To reduce the fabrication cost of the hydrogen fuel cell by decreasing the
catalyst loading;
-
To enhance the durability with conducting oxide materials or coatings as baking layers;
RP is collaborating with the Institute of Chemical and Electrical Sciences (ICES) on this project and it is fully funded by the Ministry of Education Innovation Fund.

Intelligent Wheelchair
This project deals with the design and implementation of a control system for a wheelchair which will allow it to manoeuvre on various terrains safely. The use of gyro sensors along with ultrasonic and photo sensors give the wheelchair the ability to avoid obstacles and travel at a safe speed. It is funded by the Centre for Enabled Learning (CEL) under the SEED Fund. RP is collaborating with the Society for the Physically Disabled (SPD) on this project.

Integrated
Wireless Video Acquisition and Display Solution for Practical Training
In this project, we aim to develop an integrated wireless video acquisition and display solution for practical training. As part of this development, a flexible video acquisition solution that is able to support ease of video capture with vision perspective of the instructor will be developed. In addition, a wireless platform will also be developed to support streaming of live video to an advanced video display system capable of delivering personalized video with high clarity. This project is funded by the TOTE Board.

Wireless Interactive
3D Advertisement Panel
This project aims to create a multisensory platform that allows consumers to interact with the 3D advertisement. The 3D experience is a real one, meaning that it is 3D content rendered on 3D display. The electronic sensors to be used in this project are also not based on image processing, hence a wider range of sensors like accelerometers, strain gauges, photoelectric sensors may be explored. This is an industry collaboration project with EON Reality and it is funded by TOTE Board.

Self-Sustainable Wireless Sensor Network for Datacentres
This project aims to design and develop a self-sufficient wireless sensor system for monitoring and control processes of the various critical parameters such as temperature, humidity, air-flow pattern and hot spots for a data centre. In this system, wireless sensors with integrated RF transceiver will be deployed in a data centre and the system is targeted to be deploying by means of a plug-and-play concept by anyone who follows a set of simple instructions.
To realise the above scenario four components will be designed and developed in this project:
-
Energy harvesting system this is a unique property of this project which differentiates it from other monitoring systems used in data centres as it attempts to reutilize the heat energy escaping from the computer servers. The use of Thermoelectric Generators (TEG) in combination with sophisticated low power electronics allows temperature, humidity and air flow sensors to be powered by the escaping heat energy. At the same time this reduces the heat load from the servers and ensure that the air conditioning system operates at a lower power consumption, a truly green approach.
-
Data Acquisition Sensor module comprises of the sensors with energy harvesting
components that interface directly with sensor probes to monitor temperature
humidity and airflows;
-
Location and Mobilizer Module comprises of router system to form
the infrastructure of the sensor network for data-mining and inter-node
connections;
-
Alert and GUI Module delivering connectivity with the sensors through user gateway to provide reports and analytical tools. These modules will web-based application.
This project is an industry collaboration project with Datasphere Singapore Pte Ltd which is one of the largest datacentre solutions providers in Singapore. It is fully funded by The Ministry of Education Innovation Fund.
