Publications

  • An Improved Gas Leakage Detection system

    ICEIEE

  • Baggage Tracker in Airports

    Institute of Research and Journals, India

    This project is concerned to minimise the mishandling of baggages in airports. Our system uses RFID technology to detect and track the baggages and also notifies to respective passengers or owners.

Projects

  • Survey and Rescue Drone using ROS

    -

    This project had learning modules that include concepts in Aerial Robotics, ROS, control systems, Image Processing and Algorithm Development. We were controlling and performing tasks in Drone over Robotic Operating System. The task was to stabilize the drone and detect the task using the Image Processing technique and perform analysis to complete the task.
    The aim of the project does not include making drones, so we used Drone Aviation's Pilot 3 drone for this project.

  • Augmented Reality with IoT

    -

    This system is much similar to Home Automation, not conventional but new technology. Enabling or Switching Home appliances through the camera by tapping the object appearing on the screen. This UI will be easy, fast, convenient for users. With Augmented tools, we can operate appliances.
    This project is a building step towards Industrial Power Management, i.e aiding with a complete vision of operating machines from remote place.

  • Developed Algorithm for Self Driving Car using GTA Sandreas

    -

    Driving an Autonomous car straight on road is risky and dangerous. So I planned to make autonomous driving in similar real-world GTA San Andrea's. Using ImageProcessing technique, mathematical calculations along with Artificial Intelligence, a car in game drives itself with precautions.

  • Study of 4 quadrant DC Motor w/o controller

    -

    Scrutiny of motor operation simplifies the electrical load and proper construction of vehicles according to purpose. This project makes the operation of a Motor in an Electric or hybrid vehicle easy to understand.

  • Improvised Gas Leakage Detection System

    -

    Gas Leakage became a major concern, before modern times there were no cutting edge electronic sensors. This system integrates with a Gas Sensor and temperature sensor to avoid accidents while cooking.
    This project aims to be the first step for early detection of gas leaking in pipes with its location.

  • VR Headset to Visualize Aerodynamics Flow with Gesture control

    -

    We worked and designed a finished product for the company by participating in SmartIndia Hackathon 2019. We were supposed to make an interactive Virtual Reality Headset visualise the aerodynamics of the company's product. We made a complete customisation VR Headset with gesture-controlled commands to operate certain tools at a very cheap cost.
    We have designed the system the same as MicrosoftHoloLens in a very cost-effective way, cancelling costs from 2,00,000 INR to 25,000 INR.

  • Gesture Controlled Gaming System

    -

    A System integrated on a Glove attach with Gyro, Arduino Due Microprocessor which connected to your PC using a USB cable. Glove captures the motion of the palm and respectively gives the command to a game object.

  • 3 DOF Hexapod

    -

    Usually making a hexapod requires 12/18 servo motors. But we simplified the mechanism and made a Bluetooth controlled Hexapod which can walk and turn by just using 3 servo motors hence
    making it cost efficient.

  • Baggage Tracker for Airports

    -

    This prototype system was made to protect and track your luggage throughout your flight journey. A Text SMS is sent to users regarding their luggage arrival as well. RFID technology was used to track the most accurate and precise results.
