Project Planning Survey
In your team, answer the following questions.
1. What existing challenges do you observe in the world that could benefit from
using emerging technologies?
We are planning to develop a security door lock with a camera. There are
various domains of a security door lock with an infrared sensor component can
address several existing challenges including home security, access control,
elderly care, prison security, wildlife conservation and public places etc. For
instance, in terms of home security, traditional locks can be vulnerable to lock
picking or bumping. An infrared sensor can enhance security by either passive
or active to detect unauthorized attempts to breach the lock and activate
actuator to ring. Also, elderly people are more vulnerable and have less ability
to protect themselves when they are encountering invaders, so it is crucial for
set up of a security system to protect them.

2. Which area of focus will best improve this challenge – AI, Expert System,
Robotics, Automated System?
Automated systems and AI. An automated system can significantly improve the
challenges associated with traditional door lock security through several key
advantages including sensors, microprocessors and actuators to monitor/control
the system/environment. Infrared sensors, biometric scanners and motion
detectors can improve the security of the system. Automated system can also
reduce human error (to replace the security guard), for instance, forgetting to
lock the door or losing keys is eliminated where automated systems can execute
continuously to perform action, and each decision is based on rigorous
algorithms. Automated system’s quick response to emergencies is also crucial
for improving the challenges, it can be programmed to unlock/lock all doors,
facilitating quick evacuation or access for emergency services. Artificial
intelligence stands to improve the challenges associated with door lock based
on its ability to collect data, consist of a set of programmed rules(stored) to
make decisions and ability to learn and adapt. Its functionality of image
recognition, natural language and speech recognition will be frequently used in
this system. For instance, in domestic area, when the infrared sensor detects
that there is a person, the camera would be open and AI will use image
recognition to identify the image and match these to its database to generate
the most likely visitor and send message to the owner or identify which word is
captured and organize it into sentence then match using natural language. AI
can support advanced user authentication such as biometrics (fingerprint, facial
recognition, voice recognition), behavioral patterns increase the accuracy and
security of user verification. AI can also integrate seamlessly with other internet
of things(devices), creating a smart home or building environment.

3. What two things (functionalities) do we want our system to do?
1. The system is expected to be able to continuously filming and monitoring the
area in front of the door by a camera and an infra-red sensor.
2. It is expected to send alarm information or signal to the owner or connected
whole house defending system (if there is one).
4. Would we be able to meet the project deadlines?

Yes, in our group we made plans regularly and everything is reported
immediately. The distribution of work is suitable and fair, we start the project at
the beginning of the week and the process of the project is under control, we
are confident that we are able to meet the deadline.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………
5. What knowledge or skills do we have to complete the project.

To understand how automated system and AI works, ability to explain and
purchasing suitable sensors and other hardware component to build up the
system. Also, programming skills is important.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………
6. What kind of collaborative platform or tools will you use to collaborate with
different team members?
Usually, we use teams for informal/thoughts and every important decision will
be backup/recorded on teams also we send e-mails for very important articles
and worthy in formation.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………
7. How often will we meet physically?

Approximately once in one or two days but will continuously have discussions no
matter online or physically, however, according to the experiences of meetings,
physical ones work better, and that's the reason why will still maintain meeting
in physically at least once in the week.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

8. What software/hardware resources do we need?

Hardware: infrared sensors, biometric readers, microprocessor, lock actuator,
power supply(circuit), networking hardware (WIFI), memory storage, security
cameras, audio components, physical lock housing.
Software: operating system, machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow,
PyTorch, or OpenCV for developing and implementing AI algorithms, Database
management systems: to sore and manage user data, access logs and system
settings, Firmware, user interface (Mobil app or web interface for users to
manage access remotely),
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS: integrated development environments, compilers and
debuggers for software development and testing.

9. Can we afford this project? Each team will need to cover the cost their projects.
Note: The CS department will ONLY lend students an Arduino Microcontroller
if available, only
under certain circumstances.
Yes, according to our calculation of the cost of the whole system the cost will be
controlled under an acceptable range which is affordable for the team.
