Undergraduate Project Work Supervising, 2021-2022:

IoT Based BOT for Military Applications: It is a B.Tech. 4th year students (Aditya, Avinash) project that is now in initial phase of conceptualization. The incorporation of various technologies in this project under one roof has given the path to achieve goals which have never been realized in such an efficient manner in the past. These technologies bring about a self relying and able machine to tackle situations on its own and ease a human’s job in the present day scenarios.

 

Open Projects:

1. Title: Multi-utiliy ECE department app:

Brief Desription:

A multi-utiliy ECE department mobile app with the following features:
• Students can connect with each other and faculty members
• All the information of students is linked to their account
• All department related common announcements will be made on the app
• Every student’s webkiosk data is available on the app (registered courses, attendance for each course)

 

2. Title: Multi-Robot Coordination

Brief Desription:

Using Robot Operating System (ROS), create a simulation where a drone recognises particular objects from its bird’s eye view and sends the location of those objects to a mobile robot (UGV). The mobile robot should be able to reach that object’s location autonomously.

 

3. Title: detection for autonomous driving

Brief Desription:

Create a simulation of a non-holonomic (2 wheeled or 4 wheeled) robot that can detect lanes visually and plan its path accordingly
