	The abstract should provide a concise, structured summary of the thesis, typically within four pages, and must outline the research problem, the methodology adopted, and the significant findings. It should be written in a formal, essay-style narrative and be self-contained-understandable without reference to the rest of the document.

	\noindent
	This placeholder demonstrates the layout and tone expected for an abstract section. A well-written abstract typically addresses four key questions: What was the research problem? Why was it important? How was it approached? And what were the outcomes?

	\noindent
	For illustration, this sample abstract summarizes a fictional study where a hybrid deep learning model integrating Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Transformer-based architectures was developed to classify banana ripeness in agricultural robotics. The dataset, curated under diverse lighting conditions and labeled through crowdsourcing, was used to train the model in a two-stage process. The resulting model demonstrated high classification accuracy and reduced inference time, making it viable for deployment on edge devices such as Raspberry Pi.

	This example is intended purely to showcase formatting and should be replaced with your actual research summary, including the central research problem, methodology, results, and significance of findings.
