Speech Title: On the Application of Inference Statistics in Robotic
Abstract: Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a tool for comparing various inference statistical methods in robotics, including Bayesian inference, frequentist inference, and bootstrap methods. These methods are evaluated in terms of time efficiency, accuracy, and performance across tasks such as sensor fusion, autonomous navigation, and robotic manipulation. ANOVA highlights statistically significant differences, revealing each method's strengths and limitations. The findings guide the selection of optimal statistical techniques to enhance robotic system capabilities in dynamic environments.

Speech Title: Microwave Sensor Approach to Real Time Online Monitoring the Current Environmental Challenges.
Abstract: Water pollution is a significant hindrance to agricultural progress, as using wastewater for irrigation can diminish crop yields and quality. Furthermore, soil contamination by heavy metals and organic substances can impede agricultural crop growth. Additionally, the depletion of accessible water resources due to pollution poses a barrier to agricultural advancements. Research indicates that water pollution leads to a decrease in oxygen levels in water bodies, prompting anaerobic decomposition of organic matter and the release of noxious gases like hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans, thereby deteriorating water quality further. So that smart microwave sensor methods could assist to remotely monitoring the current environmental challenges. Which we could integrate with IoT-enabled service robots to handle the current soil and water challenges. The key consideration of this work to proposed various microwave sensor approaches to monitoring the current environmental challenges. That we could integrate with IoT-robots to designing the real time online monitoring system. This will forge a new direction for environmental expert and policy maker to take necessary action to mitigate the current environmental Challenges.
