According to the last UN report about Global Warming, we reached the “Code red for humanity”. Thus, we all should show serious steps toward solving such an enormous global issue starting from yesterday and not even from the current moment. The delay in solving this major global threat would cause many drastic circumstances that we might not be able to undo if we kept this “stand-still” manner of reducing CO2 emissions. The damaging effects of greenhouse gases are now clearer and tangible for every human nowadays.

Unfortunately, the main cause of such drastic consequences of global warming is due to the emerging of the technological era that we are both blessed and cursed by using it.
The usage of high-tech devices and their applications is extremely essential for every one of us nowadays. However, the number of emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases for producing these products is recording remarkable negative records to the point that oriented many scientists to think about how many years left for our existence on our lovely planet, The Earth.

Subsequently, the next generations will be in great danger as they will have to face many dramatic challenges that have been initiated by us, unfortunately.
Without a doubt, we believe that the rise of the technological era caused such a massive issue. However, we also have faith that the technology itself could play the “Hero role” to save our planet through positive and transparent initiatives.
Subsequently, we will shed the light on a special houseplant, the Prayer Plant, as it has a unique capability to remove the CO2 emission in an efficient manner in comparison with many similar indoor plants. Our initiative in this project is to convince everyone to plant such indoor plants at home, workplaces, etc.

The main goal of this project is to conserve the maximum lifetime of such plants without any human intervention. So, we will depend on INTEL’s DE10-Nano FPGA board to process many vital sensory readings and have all these records stored in the Microsoft Azure cloud for further processing.

Maji Safi Mazingira Safi - Clean water Clean environment

AS003 »

Nairobi city ; as was formally known as a place of cool waters gets its freshwater from 3 main rivers and dam ; Ngong river ,Nairobi river and Ndakaini dam.
These rivers pass through the industrialized and informal(slum areas) where polution is very rampard . One notorius area is the dandora dumbsite in the poorest slum area in the east .
The rivers are full of industrial chemicals , human wastes,used oil plastics etc .
Maji Safi Mazingira safi is a collaborative project between the Focuslense (intelligent imaging and mapping company) ,the local government environment agancy NEMA; National Environment Management Agency and local community to help reduce pollution ,identify the water pollutants ,chemicals ,plastics etc . The solution involves installation of water ph , chemical level and image (video ) monitoring systems along the river, especially where pollution is rampant.
an FPGA kit is used with remote sensors and cloud connectivity to record chemical and pollution levels in the water and transmit to Azure cloud IoT . Azure AI image and video analytics is also used to analyze sources of pollution.

Focuslense electronics is an engineering company established in 2016 to help tackle challanges affecting poor and marginalized communities around Nairobi ,using computer vision ,AI ,IoT and 3D printing technology .It consists of a team of 5 software,hardware engineers,data scientists and a consultaing city planner.

Robotic era is approaching.
In order to rapidly control the robot, we hope to use the FPGA fast and easily reformat feature as the control platform to make the robot control more convenient.
We provide user friendly mobile phone operation interface for remote control by using the blue tooth. The robot has the function of image recognition and transformation, which is the prototype of future robots in human life.

Design of Heterogeneous Accelerator for Traffic Sign Classification Algorithm Based on FPGA

PR007 »

This project intends to achieve heterogeneous acceleration of traffic sign classifier algorithms. The recognition of traffic signs is an important part of automatic driving. For traffic sign recognition algorithms, the accuracy of convolutional neural networks is in the forefront, but Existing neural networks and deep neural networks both rely on high-speed parallel computing equipment with high cost and high power consumption. Therefore, it is of practical significance to find a low-cost and alternative to high-cost GPU acceleration solution. FPGA acceleration is one of the choices.

High-Performance Bioinspired Binary Adder

AS004 »

Most of the innovations that use bioinspiration are capable of achieving high-performance in contrast with standard proposals. In this context, we propose a novel bioinspired binary adder to accelerate the latency of the binary addition at reduced cost. With this in mind, we designed a generic n-bit binary adder using VHDL hardware description language and terasic FPGAs. The simulation results have depicted that the proposed adder is faster than the LPM_ADD_SUB megafunction as n goes to infinity. Also, the simulations have demonstrated that the adder consumes less area resources than the megafunction. Since the binary addition is one of the most important operations carried out in the ALUs, this adder proposal will accelerate the digital processing of many digital applications.
