Projects :

  • Tellio – Telepresence Robot

    Tellio is a basic telepresence robot designed around an android smartphone that can be controlled over a Wi-Fi area remotely from a distance. An open source hardware Arduino is used with a Wi-Fi module for ad-hoc deployment.

  • SAMULE – The exploration rover

    SAMULE (Semi Automated Multi Utility Logistics Equipment) project is a robotic rover designed as a UGV multi-purpose platform for medical, military and exploration purpose. A prototype of the rover is able to drive through a rough terrain and is controlled by laptop over RF transceivers.

  • ODUV – Omni-directional Utility vehicle

    ODUV is a project inspired by industrial grade Omni directional carts, designed with a purpose to provide high mobility in confined spaces in industries and other areas. The prototype robot is designed over a micro-controller with special set of castor wheels.

  • “ComputerDevils.in” – Student Community Website

    “Computerdevils.in” is a student community website where students from different computer and IT departments of various college’s share their best knowledge with one other not only by sharing their academic knowledge but also by using social media as a platform to express their knowledge to fullest.

  • “Brain Computer Interface” – Seminar presentation

    Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is a new trend in computational field, where a special device is used to capture brain signals, which are interpreted as computer signals via use of certain type of hardware. This was a seminar topic presented during the last year of Diploma.

  • “Modular Robotics” –Seminar presentation

    Modular robotics is a new field of study in robotics, which is based on the Darwin’s theory of evolution. This was a seminar topic presented during the 3 rd year Degree seminar/presentation subject.
