InfoBite: Enhancing Food Awareness and
Nutritional Monitoring for Vulnerable Individuals

Climate change poses significant challenges to vulnerable individuals, including those with diabetes, pregnant women, people with chronic illnesses, and cardiovascular risk factors. These individuals face increased risks associated with the foods they consume. Accessing comprehensive information about the potential health effects of certain foods is complex and often controversial. Additionally, vulnerable individuals have unique dietary needs, restrictions, and preferences, making it challenging to find suitable foods.

Thus, we are developing an AI-powered solution that leverages technology to empower vulnerable individuals by providing them with comprehensive information about their food intake and alerting them to potential risks based on their specific vulnerabilities. This solution aligns with the theme of "AI-empowered Solutions for Climate Change Challenges" and contributes to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

Prediction of Natural Catastrophe using Artificial Intelligence

Natural catastrophes can cause loss of life and damage property. With the increasing severity of climate change, the frequency of disasters has significantly risen.

Consequently, having accurate predictions of these disasters would be immensely beneficial for addressing the problems of lack of preparation for people living there when they are facing the catastrophe, especially in less developed countries.

In our project, we predict the occurrence of a weather-related catastrophe using weather data as input and catastrophe data as labels, including heat waves, and typhoons. After feeding the data to our model, the project can forecast some catastrophes in the near future based on the weather data and able to inform people to be prepared in advance.

AI-Assisted Smart Space Cooling Approach with Ultra-High Cooling Power

The increasing worldwide demand for cooling and electricity exacerbates the problem of global warming. Recent studies indicate that the increasing global adoption of air conditioners will triple the energy demand for space cooling without any action to address energy efficiency by 2050. Therefore, developing cooling technologies that operate with lower energy consumption is the research we investigate. Inspired by how camels adapt in the desert, we design a camel-fur-inspired sorbent that can periodically absorb the moisture from the air at night and release its stored water during the daytime for building cooling. The novel sorbent would circulate in response to the environment and exhibit outstanding cooling performance, which is almost 4 times the classical radiative-cooling approach. Concurrently, we propose an Artificial Intelligence (AI) integrated with ultra-high cooling power sorbent to achieve smart cooling in buildings. Highly effective cooling control can be managed by analysing user behaviour through AI.

EcoFlight: Enhancing Aircraft Ground Operations for Reduced Carbon Emissions

We will develop an innovative AI solution to reduce carbon emissions from aircraft ground operations. Aviation accounts for a large share of transport sector pollution, and engines emit substantial greenhouse gases during taxi, takeoff, and landing. Using sensors to capture real-time engine usage and flight schedules, our system trains a predictive model on how operational factors like pushback timing, taxi routes, and takeoff weight affect emissions output. This model then identifies strategic recommendations tailored for each airport and airline to minimize pollution through optimized engine start windows, efficient runway sequencing, and congestion-alleviating gate assignments that shorten taxi distances. Our automated solution assigns boarding gates and designs taxi routes leveraging its emission predictions. By facilitating intelligent, emissions-conscious ground movement planning through our data-driven approach, we aim to help the aviation industry significantly lower its environmental impact through airport resource utilization.

FarmGPT: Securing Food Production in the face of
Climate Change with Approachable AI

Climate change has a significant impact on global food production and farmers, jeopardising their livelihoods with unpredictable weather, temperature variations, poor soils, pest infestations, and droughts.

To address these issues, we propose FarmGPT, an AI-based solution for farmers. Our project involves fine-tuning a chatbot with two types of information. Firstly, we utilize farming-related data, such as AFCD reports, to ensure the model provides accurate information. Secondly, we input farm-specific information obtained through sensors and cameras to generate tailored recommendations that minimize the impact of these challenges.

FarmGPT has a twofold impact.
Firstly, it empowers farmers by providing dynamic AI analysis of their farmland, bridging the technology gap through conversational and digestible information.
Secondly, it enables precision agriculture, allowing farmers to scale their operations while adapting to specific land needs. This approach reduces the reliance on destructive practices like tilling and nitrogen fertilizers, which contribute to climate change. By embracing precision agriculture, farmers can better adapt to the changing environment caused by climate change and mitigate its effects.

HawkEye

An effective way to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 is through citizens’ efforts. Related government departments have sent personnel to carry out different measures. However, the cost of human resources is relatively high, and the efficiency and effectiveness may not be satisfactory. Considering this, we have used the techniques learned in electronic engineering and computer science to design an automated supervision, education and promotion system. It is used to prevent an outbreak and get society out of the haze in a short time by promptly creating a more rigorous atmosphere for pandemic prevention.

Drink2Eat

Food is fundamental to not only our survival but also our health. Humanity has made leaps and bounds in improving the quantity, quality, longevity and accessibility of food through food engineering and standardized global shipping distribution networks.

However, these improvements have also generated a lot of waste from the packaging of food and drinks. Furthermore, restrictions of Hong Kong’s restaurant dine-in times have massively popularized the concept of ordering takeout. This has exasperated the food packaging waste issue by 15%. This food packaging issue contributes to Hong Kong's landfills that would fill up in less than 12 years.

Drink2Eat would like to combat this issue of food packaging waste by reusing common carton boxes typically used for drinks to make lunch boxes so that restaurants can decrease their reliance on disposable lunchboxes for takeout orders.

From RFM to SGS Concrete

Due to the aggravating situation of the pandemic, the use of surgical masks has increased. It has led to many problems due to the over disposal of face masks. With the current pandemic trend, a large number of masks will still be in use for epidemic prevention purposes for a long time. On the other hand, the demand for green building materials is rising. Our solution will aid in solving both issues by incorporating the polypropylene fibers compromised in surgical masks into forming sustainable green structural concrete. Before adding it to the concrete mix, they will be appropriately collected, sterilized, and extracted. InNews_20210911_037.jpg addition to being used to form green concrete, it will also reduce the potential landfill space uptake by many disposed of masks after the pandemic and hence provide a head start to future waste management incentives programs.

PERfECT Viral Sewage Monitoring System

Epidemics cause historical global panic in public health, urgently requiring sensitive and cost-effective biosensors that screen diseases efficiently, over time-consuming testing kits that are mailed to research labs. We have developed the world’s smallest platform, PERfECT (“personalized electronic reader for electrochemical transistors”). PERfECT has been modified to make a wireless, compact Virus Detector that can detect viruses at the earliest possible time. PERfECT acts as a supplement to LeaveHomeSafe, which notifies viral exposure a few days too late as viruses keep spreading before the notification is received. Instead, PERfECT could be placed in MTRs, restaurants, personal belongings, etc., alerting the public to viral exposure in seconds. This would greatly reduce viral transmission and aid in curbing the epidemic. PERfECT is the epitome of engineering in health innovation, fighting the epidemic through fast virus detection, enabling speedy restoration of normal life, and offering fast response technologies for future crises.
