Human-Machine Collaboration (HUMAC) Won Collaborative Grant Funded by Japan Worth US$59,900!

The project is to predict plant health mapping in Mangrove/Nipah protected area in Belawai, Sarawak, Malaysia. The technology will also be used to conduct artisanal-fishing mapping and create hotspots of where such fishing is conducted at the community level.

The joint proposal is a collaborative work of Sunway’s Research Centre for Human-Machine Collaboration (HUMAC), Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC), AeroSense Inc. (Japan), Funlead Inc. (Japan), and the University of Technology Sarawak. The work is dedicated to the importance of the best local solutions for pressing environmental issues. Using Sensory Technology, Artificial Intelligent, and imaging, the project will contribute to Planetary Health and Sustainable Development Goals 15 - Life on Land.
