Summary
Towards Internet of Things Enabled Automated Mushroom Cultivation. This project aims to develop novel Internet-of-Things based learning techniques to inform the design and construction of a portable, automated system for the cultivation of mushrooms. The expected outcomes are a portable smart mushroom cultivation system that provides access to new agriculture techniques and local, fresh supplies in rural and remote areas; learning algorithms that detect mushroom ripeness and set the best environ ....Towards Internet of Things Enabled Automated Mushroom Cultivation. This project aims to develop novel Internet-of-Things based learning techniques to inform the design and construction of a portable, automated system for the cultivation of mushrooms. The expected outcomes are a portable smart mushroom cultivation system that provides access to new agriculture techniques and local, fresh supplies in rural and remote areas; learning algorithms that detect mushroom ripeness and set the best environmental parameters; and a dataset of mushroom cultivation parameters. These products, and associated training opportunities through a strong focus on public and industry engagement, will benefit the industry partners and horticultural producers to improve resource efficiency, waste reduction, and overall yield.Read moreRead less

Summary
Advanced separation membrane for sustainable lithium mining and recycling . The project aims to develop and commercialise a novel membrane-based technology based on a newly invented lithium-selective ceramic-polymer membrane for low-cost and environmentally friendly lithium recovery and recycling from various sources. The project expects to generate deep knowledge in the design and scaling up of lithium ion separation membranes, and create a lithium extraction prototype for on-site lithium extr ....Advanced separation membrane for sustainable lithium mining and recycling . The project aims to develop and commercialise a novel membrane-based technology based on a newly invented lithium-selective ceramic-polymer membrane for low-cost and environmentally friendly lithium recovery and recycling from various sources. The project expects to generate deep knowledge in the design and scaling up of lithium ion separation membranes, and create a lithium extraction prototype for on-site lithium extraction testing. Expected outcomes of the project include full commercialisation of the lithium separation membrane and new intellectual property for establishing a new membrane manufacturing industry that is critically needed for transforming lithium mining and recycling industries.Read moreRead less
