In recent years, there have been significant advances in the application of technology in professional kitchens. This evolution of “smart kitchens” has transformed the food processing sector, ensuring higher standards of food safety throu...

The kitchen environment is one of the scenarios in the home where users can benefit from Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) applications. Moreover, it is the place where old people suffer from most domestic injuries. This paper presents a novel design, i...

With the rapid advancement of the Internet and big data, data sharing has become pivotal for enhancing operational efficiency and user experience across industries. In the restaurant sector, the emergence of smart kitchens has accelerated digital tra...

Automation can now be found in nearly every industry. However, home automation has yet to reach Pakistan. This paper presents an Internet of Things smart kitchen project that includes automation and monitoring. In this project, a system was developed...

This paper presents a wireless kitchen fire prevention system that can detect and notify the fire risk caused by gas stoves. The proposed system consists of two modules. The sensor module detects the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO${}_2$) near the gas...

Cooking at home is a critical survival skill. We propose a new cooking assistance system in which a user only needs to wear an all-in-one augmented reality (AR) headset without having to install any external sensors or devices in the kitchen. Utilizi...

Deep Learning (DL) has provided a significant breakthrough in many areas of research and industry. The development of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) has enabled the improvement of computer vision-based techniques, making the information gathere...

When using a gas stove to cook, the food or oil in the pot or pan may catch fire because of an excessively high temperature. In addition, people may be uncertain as to whether they have turned off the gas stove before leaving home and therefore feel...

Smart objects and home automation tools are becoming increasingly popular, and the number of smart devices that each dedicated application has to manage is increasing accordingly. The emergence of technologies such as serverless computing and dedicat...

Food image recognition is a key enabler for many smart home applications such as smart kitchen and smart personal nutrition log. In order to improve living experience and life quality, smart home systems collect valuable insights of users’ preference...

In producing custom-made systems, using a robotic welding line that can fine-tune welding parameters is not economical, and laser welding is usually done manually. The most common operator error in manual welding operations is the angular positioning...

In the current scenario in many cities, huge quantities of biowaste solid matter are generated, making it a big challenge to keep our cities smart/clean without creating health issues. The second challenge is to mitigate solid biowastes from municipa...

By 2050, most adults aged 65 and older in the United States will want to age independently at home, a goal that will strain healthcare resources. Adults aged 50 and older (N = 112) were recruited for study participation between 2018 and 2022. They co...

In this paper, we design algorithms for indoor activity recognition and 3D thermal model generation using thermal images, RGB images, captured from external sensors, and the internet of things setup. Indoor activity recognition deals with two sub-pro...

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of the separation of solid waste at the source on three different sustainable solid waste management scenarios using the analytic hierarchy process. In this context, the type of source separation metho...

Nearly three billion people use solid fuels for cooking and heating, which leads to extremely high levels of household air pollution and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Many stove manufacturers have developed alternative cookstoves (ACSs...

Goal recognition is an important component of many context-aware and smart environment services; however, a person’s goal often cannot be determined until their plan nears completion. Therefore, by modifying the state of the environment, our wo...

The desire to remain living in one’s own home rather than a care home by those in need of 24/7 care is one that requires a level of understanding for the actions of an environment’s inhabitants. This can potentially be accomplished with t...

In today’s society, where people spend over 90% of their time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) is crucial for sustaining human life. However, as various indoor activities such as cooking generate diverse types of pollutants in indoor spaces, I...

Understanding the characteristics of residential hot-water consumption can be useful for developing effective water-conservation strategies in response to increasing pressure on natural resources. This study systematically investigates residential ho...

To improve glycemic health, a high-amylose bread wheat flour fresh pasta characterized by a low in vitro glycemic index (GI) and improved post-prandial glucose metabolism was previously developed. In this study, well-known life cycle analysis softwar...

Food waste is a stream with multiple social, economic, and environmental implications, generated throughout all the life cycle stages of food. Among these stages, in developed and top touristic destination countries such as Greece, the role of the ho...

Automated food item recognition and recipe recommendation systems have gained increasing importance in dietary management and culinary applications. Recent advancements in Computer Vision, particularly in object detection, classification, and image s...

Production efficiency is used to determine the best conditions for manufacturing goods at the lowest possible unit cost. When achieved, production efficiency leads to increased revenues for the manufacturer, enhanced employee safety, and a satisfied...
