Abstract

This study analyzes the chemical diversity of essential oils from four Aquilaria species, A. beccariana, A. malaccensis, A. crassna, and A. subintegra, which are important sources of agarwood used in perfumery and traditional medicine. Despite their economic and ecological value, the chemical profiles of these species remain insufficiently characterized, hindering accurate species differentiation and resource management. This research aims to identify distinctive chemical patterns to improve species classification. Self-organizing maps (SOMs) were employed to analyze complex chemical composition data and to identify significant compounds responsible for species separation. The analysis revealed several compounds with strong discriminatory power and species-specific distribution patterns, with compounds C, D, and E identified as the most significant markers. These findings demonstrate substantial biochemical diversity among Aquilaria species and confirm the effectiveness of SOM for essential oil profiling. The results support improved species identification and have important implications for ecological conservation, sustainable agarwood management, and pharmacological development.

Abstract

This study explores the application of machine learning (ML) techniques in the classification of agarwood oil, focusing on the use of various algorithms such as k-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machines (SVM), random forest (RF), and artificial neural networks (ANN). Since 2013, ML has played a pivotal role in analyzing agarwood oil, particularly by leveraging data from a variety of chemical compounds found in the Aquilaria genus. Through a systematic review and bibliometric analysis using the SCOPUS database, this study compiles and highlights recent works that have successfully employed ML techniques for the quality assessment of agarwood oil. These studies utilize chemical data, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), for the classification and detection of different oil grades. The review reveals a broad range of ML applications, demonstrating their growing importance in the field of essential oil analysis. By systematically presenting the findings from recent research, this work emphasizes the potential for further exploration of ML in the standardization and improvement of agarwood oil classification techniques.

Abstract

Aquilaria-derived essential oils are chemically diverse and hold significant value in pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and traditional medicine. However, the complexity of their chemical composition presents challenges in statistical modelling, particularly due to multicollinearity among biosynthetically related compounds. This study investigates the extent of multicollinearity in Aquilaria essential oil data using multiple linear regression (MLR) and variance inflation factor (VIF) analysis. A regression model was constructed using three compounds, ? -guaiene, 10-epi ? -eudesmol, and ? -eudesmol, across 360 samples, with VIF and collinearity diagnostics applied to assess model validity. The model explained 93% of the variance in species classification, which is substantially higher than values typically reported in earlier chemometric studies of Aquilaria oils. This demonstrates that even a limited number of carefully selected compounds, when supported by diagnostic safeguards, can achieve strong classification accuracy. These findings emphasize the importance of applying multicollinearity diagnostics to improve the interpretability and reliability of chemometric analyses. The study contributes a robust analytical framework for future research and practical applications in species authentication, essential oil quality control, and conservation of Aquilaria resources.

Abstract

In today's world, in almost all industries, much of the work is performed by robots or robotic arms with varying degrees of freedom (DOF) as necessary. The aim of this study is to adjust the perception of remote controls for manually controlled robotic-arm operation. This paper offers a way of thinking and a way to eradicate the keys, joysticks and replace them with some of the more intuitive strategy that is to operate the full robotic arm by hand movements operators. The robotic arm is constructed in such a way that it consists of two movable fingers and other movement, which is, a spreading elbow and the up down movement. The robotic arm is designed to mimic the motions of human hands using a hand glove. The hand glove consists of 3 flex sensors for controlling the motions of the finger, the elbow, and other movements. Servo motors are the actuators used by the robotic arm. The proposed electronics device recognizes a basic hand gesture that will be made in real lifetime and will relay valued signals wirelessly through the RF module.
