Gesture Controlled Robotic Gripper Arm through Kinect Sensor
AP073 »
There are many hazardous tasks that human needs to perform and they are dangerous to do by oneself. our product allows the user to control a robotic gripper arm through kinect sensor, which provides better control and more freedom to the user in a real time environment. This allow us humans to complete these risky operations without endangering ourselves. We designed this project to be helpful in both industrial and medical fields. The idea of the project is to design a robotic gripper arm which is controlled through gestures. The robotic arm will be controlled through a Kinect sensor connected to a PC. The robotic structure will mirror the hand and elbow movements of an actual arm as captured by the Kinect sensor.The goal of the project is to create a robot arm that fully replicates the movement of another hand and arm, and can help one remotely grip and lift an object. In this project, real-time interaction among environment, man, and machine is developed through the machine vision system and the robotic arm.

Sign Language Interpreter
AP074 »
It has two robotic hands along with arms which will work as a sign language interpreter. Sign language interpreter helps people to communicate with the people who are born deaf or have hearing loss. Over 5% of the world's population or 430 million people are facing hearing loss (432 million adults and 34 million children). It is estimated that by 2050 over 700 million people (one in every ten people) will have disabling hearing loss. So, it will be necessary to find ways to communicate with such people. Our sign language interpreter will be able to perform maximum 40-50 signs which includes words and greetings (i.e. hello, goodbye) on the basis of input given by mobile application. By this we can make communication between a normal person and a deaf person easier. For instance, a person wants to communicate with a person who can’t hear. And the person also don’t know the sign language. In that case, he/she can simply give its input to the mobile application and the robotic arm will communicate his/her message to the deaf by performing the sign language.

Advanced Automatic Number Plate Recognition System
AP075 »
Recognizing the vehicle number plates is a much needed system. This system is already applicable in so many countries but we want to make some advancements in it. So here we are proposing a vehicle number plate recognition system that automatically recognizes vehicle number plates using image processing. We will set a zone or the area, when the vehicle is entered in the parking area the camera automatically detect its number plate. The camera will also detect the type of vehicle, make and model. This will serve as a new benchmark in security systems as well as automatic toll deduction mechanism.

IOT based agriculture monitoring systems
AP076 »
Agriculture has been one of the primary occupations of man since early civilizations and even today manual interventions in farming are inevitable. There are many plants that are very sensitive to water levels and required specific level of water supply for proper growth, if this not they may die or results in improper growth. It’s hardly possible that every farmer must possess the perfect knowledge about growing specifications of plants in case of water supply. So, to have a help, an attempt is made by introducing the proposed project named Smart Sensors Based Monitoring System for Agriculture Using FPGA. Water saving, improvement in agricultural yield and automation in agriculture are the objectives of this project. By the use of sensors in project, awareness about changing conditions of moisture, temperature and humidity level will be made available for the farmers so that according to changing conditions of moisture, temperature and humidity farmers will be able to schedule the proper timing for water supply and all the necessary things that required for proper growth of plants. This system can also be used in greenhouses to control important parameters like temperature, soil moisture, humidity etc as per the requirement of proper growth of plants.

Digital Twin System Applied to Mobile Robots
PR038 »
This project proposes a digital twin system design method applied to mobile robots.
This method enables synchronized actions between real and digital mobile robots. The
real robot system designed in this thesis uses DE10-Nano board as the main hardware controller, which has the advantages of low cost and low power consumption. The digital robot is built in the Gazebo simulator, allowing the robot simulation can have high-quality rendering effects and high-performance motion performance.
In this project, both real and digital robots use Robot Operation System (ROS) as the main operating system. At the same time, the digital twin robots will also transmit data and communicate through ROS. By collecting the motor voltage and current signals of the real robot and the encoder speed, the fuzzy clustering (FC) method is used to establish a fuzzy identification system of the motor. Then applies this motor fuzzy identification system to a digital robot, so that the digital robot can simulate the state of a real motor.

AUTONOMOUS CAR - A SELF DRIVING CAR INTEGRATED WITH DETECTIONS
AP078 »
World Health Organization (WHO) reports 1.35 million people deaths in car accidents every year, and hence this is an issue of serious concern. Deaths/Serious injuries in car accidents effects the families of the individuals completely for their life time. As per the observations, the primary causes of these accidents are cellphone usage while driving, over speed, violation of traffic rules, alcoholic consumptions, bad weather conditions etc., most of these causes of accidents may be reduced, if manual operation of vehicle is reduced to the maximum possible extent.
It is already known that, a lot of research work is going on across the globe on design of autonomous vehicles/self-driving cars/driverless cars and few of them may become a reality soon on the roads. But, this technology will be appreciated when it will work with maximum efficiency and simultaneously when it is made available to the general public even.
In our proposal, we would like to design a prototype of self-driving car which uses machine learning algorithms and will fulfill the following objectives:
1) Collision warning system
2) Movement of vehicle not only during day-time but also during night time and during bad weather conditions
3) GPS based routing of vehicle
4) Lane detection
5) Object/obstacle detection
We, would like to use the features present in the FPGA platform for efficient working of the prototype. In our proposed design, we will be using DE-10 Nano FPGA board, Adasky viper(for input), 2 motor shields (cryton)(for controlling car speed), 12V battery(to energize car) and Arduino UNOcomponents.

Forest Environment Analysis to Detect and Predict Forest Fires
EM021 »
Recently, forest fires are on the agenda of a lot of countries. A significant portion of forests in tropical zones is facing a risk of burning down. To help to respond quickly to fires, a cloud-based IoT solution could be used. Current fires will be sensed with a camera and CO2 sensor which will use either NDIR or electrochemical technology. System alerts authorized personnel about risky and emergencies over Cloud. Additionally, notable environmental factors are oxygen, combustible gases, humidity, and temperature, so sensors for these factors will be used to collect environmental data to predict potential forest fires beforehand. This collected data will also be available in the Cloud. System alerts authorized personnel about risky and emergencies over Cloud.

Mini Electric Vehicle Reducing Waste In Agriculture
EM022 »
With the development of technology in agriculture, clean water and fertilizer etc. There has been a reduction in wastage of products. However, a large amount of waste is still experienced today. In order to prevent this even a little bit, we designed a mini electric vehicle project that works with solar energy and does not harm the nature.
The designed tool takes a piece of soil sample and determines its humidity, pH ratio, mineral ratio etc. in it. By making the analysis, it transfers it to the user and automatically starts the irrigation system as much as the water needed by the soil. In line with the deficiencies, if the fertilization process is done manually, the farmer will only apply the necessary pesticides.

AUTONOMOUS RAG PICKING BOT FOR GARBAGE MANAGEMENT IN SMART CITIES.
AP080 »
Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues, as rapidly increasing production of disposable plastic products overwhelms the world’s ability to deal with them. Plastic pollution is most visible in developing Asian and African nations, where garbage collection systems are often inefficient or nonexistent. But the developed world, especially in countries with low recycling rates, also has trouble properly collecting discarded plastics. Plastic trash has become so ubiquitous it has prompted efforts to write a global treaty negotiated by the United Nations.
Did you know that every plastic that is being produced in the world still exists today? Half of all plastics ever manufactured have been made in the last 15 years.Millions of animals are killed by plastics every year, from birds to fish to other marine organisms. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by plastics. Nearly every species of seabird eats plastics.There is no natural process to degrade plastic but we can recycle them.so, we wanted to design our bot to collect and dump them into the trash.
