Kenneth Tetteh AkitiDrones, sensors, assistive devices, and the battery work that is the PhD.
Cloud-based drone control with millimetre-level GPS positioning using NAV RTK, real-time data analysis, and swarm coordination.
Outcome: Delivered autonomous flight, RTK positioning, cloud analysis, and MATLAB control workflows over MAVLink.
Patented scalar magnetic-field measuring device with pulse pumping for very precise measurements.
Outcome: Contributed to a patented magnetic-field measurement method and related optical-control research.
Home automation with voice control, lighting, climate, and security.
Outcome: Built an integrated home-control prototype across sensing, actuation, voice interaction, and PCB design.
A self-driving car with obstacle detection, path planning, and an accident alert, using computer vision.
Outcome: Competed in the Zhejiang Smart Car competition and placed third at provincial level in 2019.
An Arduino trolley for disabled, aged, and nursing care, with automated navigation.
Outcome: Published through IEEE DELCON with a working assistive-navigation prototype.
Undergraduate thesis. A weather station that collects readings, analyses them, and stores them.
Outcome: Completed as an undergraduate thesis project combining sensors, storage, and local analysis.
Climate, irrigation, and lighting controlled for plant growth.
Outcome: Automated environmental control for plant-growth conditions using embedded sensing and actuation.
Detection and control using infrared motion sensors.
Outcome: Published as an embedded sensing project for automatic mosquito detection and response.
Real-time attendance with RFID, a database, and reporting.
Outcome: Published a real-time attendance workflow that connects RFID capture with database-backed reports.
Obstacle-detection glasses with voice guidance, using ultrasonic sensors.
Outcome: Built a voice-guided assistive prototype for obstacle awareness and mobility support.
A short-range transmitter designed to draw very little power.
Outcome: Designed for short-range communication where power draw and board-level RF choices mattered.
PhD research on retired mining-vehicle batteries: how to reuse and recycle them, and how to recover the materials.
Outcome: Awarded the MRIWA Odwyn Jones PhD Scholarship and presented the research at EECON 2025.
