Publication Embargo A Comprehensive Mobile Platform for Fostering Communication, Literacy, Numeracy, and Emotion Understanding in Children with ASD(IEEE, 2024-07-25) Bandara, T.W.M.I.P.S; Deshan, M.A.D.; Prasanth, P.; Nadeera, M.S.; Krishara, JThis study presents SIPNENA, a novel mobile application designed to aid the learning and communication development of Sinhala-speaking autistic children aged six, particularly in rural areas of Sri Lanka. It offers a unique approach to teaching challenging subjects like English and Mathematics, tailored to the specific needs of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The application integrates interactive methodologies and gamification elements to facilitate better communication, understanding, and engagement. Additionally, it incorporates real-time emotion recognition features to monitor and respond to children's emotional states during learning activities. This research evaluates SIPNENA's effectiveness in improving communication abilities, academic skills, and emotion understanding among autistic children. The findings indicate promising results in catering to the unique educational needs of this target population, particularly in under-resourced rural regions, where specialized interventions are often scarce.Publication Open Access An Automated Monitoring and Alert System for a Typical Server Room(Academia.edu, 2014-06-13) Jayakody, J. A. D. C. A; Wijesundara, MIn this paper presents, the design and implementation of an Automated Monitoring and Alert System for Typical Server Room. This project is based on a microcontroller by Dallas Semiconductor known as TINI (Tiny Internet Interface) DS80C400. The system can send SMS messages, send out emails, etc to alert to appropriate personnel to maintain a high availability of services.Publication Embargo Design and fabrication of an automatic tension monitoring and regulation system for needle thread(IEEE, 2019-07-03) Randima, L. M. L; Sandaranga, D. M. B. C; Jayawardena, T. S. S; Fernando, E. A. S. KA matched needle and bobbin thread tensions is a major requirement of a seam and also to the quality of garment. This paper describes an attempt on the development of an automated needle thread tension regulating system for single needle lock stitch sewing machine. Historically, several experiments have been carried out to measure the thread tensions of both needle thread and bobbin thread of a lock stitch machine. However, no evident in favour of the development of a device to adjust the needle thread tension automatically. Despite a cyclic variation of the needle thread tension, a needle thread regulation system is developed to maintain an average needle tension during the cycle at a predetermined level. The developed system can be installed on an existing single needle lock stitch machine and capable of maintaining the required correct thread tension profile for sewing. The needle thread tension regulation system is a closed loop system and with a load cell as a sensing device and a geared DC motor adjusts the compression of the spring of the thread tensioner. A visual display of thread tension is indicated on a 16X4 LCD display and the required needle thread tension is set by 4x4 keypad. An Arduino board controls the electronic equipment in the system.Publication Embargo Smart Mirror with Virtual Twin(IEEE, 2019-12-05) Abeydeera, S. S; Bandaranayake, M; Karunarathna, H. U; Pallewatta, S; Dharmasiri, P; Gunathilake, B; Saparamadu, S; Senanayake, B; Jayawardena, CSmart Mirror with a virtual twin who helps the user as a close companion. The virtual twin monitors the user's physical appearance and tracks the data gathered from given inputs. Since this is an intelligent virtual twin it uses machine learning techniques. It helps to improve the user's mental and physical health by detecting medical conditions and providing suitable suggestions in a more personalized way. This virtual twin not only focuses on physical or mental health conditions but also gives friendly suggestions about suitable styles which helps to improve the person's life quality.Publication Embargo Design, implementation and field tests of a socially assistive robot for the elderly: Healthbot version 2(IEEE, 2012-06-24) Jayawardena, C; Kuo, I; Datta, C; Stafford, R.Q; Broadbent, E; MacDonald, B. AThis paper presents the second version of a mobile service robot (HealthBot) designed for older people. The lessons learned from studies of the first version of the robot at a retirement village, and design decisions for the second version, are discussed. Technical requirements of field trials, a focus on cognitive human-robot interactions, the importance of working together in a multidisciplinary team, and the necessity for rapid iterative development suggested a new software framework. The features of new framework are discussed and implementation details are presented. Details of field trials and user acceptance results are presented. Results are promising for older-user acceptance of the robot.
