The design and implementation of an electronic system that involves head movements to operate a prototype that can simulate future movements of a wheelchair was developed here. The controller design collects head-movements data through a MEMS sensor-based motion capture system. The research was divided into four stages: First, the instrumentation of the system using hardware and software; second, the mathematical modeling using the theory of dynamic systems; third, the automatic control of position, speed, and orientation with constant and variable speed; finally, system verification using both an electronic controller test protocol and user experience. The system involved a graphical interface for the user to interact with it by executing all the controllers in real time. Through the System Usability Scale (SUS), a score of 78 out of 100 points was obtained from the qualification of 10 users who validated the system, giving a connotation of “very good”. Users accepted the system with the recommendation to improve safety by using laser sensors instead of ultrasonic range modules to enhance obstacle detection.

The problem of colony is theft becoming more serious and is not only happening in the east coast, but has also been reported in other farms. In the past, theft only applied to logs/sticks. But lately, this has been the case with the colonies in the hive box. As demand for such goods is high and resold at high prices, it is not surprising that these cases of theft have become more severe lately. To counteract this bad activity, a new idea and method was introduced with the use of specially designed IoT technology known as Mus-Tracker. This Beehives design comes with one GPS/GSM module slot. Beehives being stolen or taken or relocated will allow it to be tracked by the owner by simply sending a message to the GPS/GSM tracker module. Once the location has been identified, the tracking process will be able to perform it quickly and easily detect the beehives. Hopefully with this new system, it will solve the problem of theft based on the new method even though the cost is relatively high at first.

Stingless bee is one of the bees that produce expensive honey because stingless bee only produces less than 1kg honey per year. Due to improper management and security been imposed, stingless beehive is continuously been targeted by thief for its valuable honey production. The bee farmer also is facing difficulty in tracking and monitoring the number of their beehives that are scattered in certain area in their farm. Taking serious consideration on a good quality of honey production, temperature is the major issues to concern. Honey production can be affected by extreme temperature. When the temperature is too high, the stingless bees become irritable or contradictory, when temperature is too low, the stingless bees become motionless. Therefore, the need for continuously tracking and monitoring of the beehive is crucial to conserve the quality honey production. The objective of the research is to analyze the suitable temperature for bee productivity. Next is to design a system that gives ability for the bee farmer in monitoring of their bee hive from anywhere and anytime via web based. This paper presents the development of an IOT technology in our targeted stingless beehive system at Nature n Trigona Garden, a stingless bees company in Kemaman, Terengganu, Malaysia. We develop a device which is coded using Arduino IDE 1.8.9 underlying with a sensor and microcontroller with a low battery powered, and installed at each particular beehive. The results shows that our design and implementation of the IOT devices in each beehive has achieved a success. The main contribution of this research is such that the bee farmer is able to monitor their beehive in real time as well as the system can trigger notification to user when any abnormal incidents happens to their hive.
