ASSET: Adaptive Sensor Actuator System for Elephant Tracking
Jan 2016 - Jan 2018
Adaptive sensor-actuator system for elephant detection and early warning using low-cost flying robotics and wireless sensor networks.
Problem Statement
- Human-elephant conflict scenarios require early detection and reliable alerts in remote environments.
- Existing monitoring approaches were costly and difficult to scale across large areas.
- Wildlife tracking needed a practical integration of sensing, analysis, and response mechanisms.
What I Led
- Contributed to architecture and implementation of an adaptive sensing pipeline for elephant detection and warning workflows.
- Supported integration concepts combining wireless sensor networks with quadcopter-assisted monitoring.
- Applied signal processing and machine-learning components to improve detection quality.
Deliverables
- Adaptive sensor-actuator prototype workflows
- Early-warning detection pipeline design
- Low-cost environmental monitoring approach
