Investigation on the hydrodynamic behavior and controllability of a novel class of underwater gliders
21- 2245/SRGP/R&D/HEC/2018
The objectives of this research are to investigate the effect of external control surfaces (wings and rudder) on the maneuverability of a glider in a spiral glide path and to derive an analytical expression for its six-degree of freedom spiral motion. To achieve these objectives, a new dynamic model of a glider will be developed based on first principles. Its hydrodynamic derivatives will be determined using analytical and semi-empirical methods and the corresponding hydrodynamic forces determined using Solidworks and Ansys workbench. The maneuverability of the glider will be assessed and a correlation between control surfaces and maneuverability established. New findings on the effect of control surfaces on the dynamics and maneuverability of a glider in a spiral glide path are expected. These findings will inform and influence the design.

An Autonomous Travelmate Robot Suitcase (ATRS)
IGNITE/NGIRI/2017-18/03
The main aim of this work is to study the development of the obstacle avoiding Robot suitcase, which can be operated through an Android App as per the operator wants to take control of the Robot itself. The robot is also autonomous in its actions while intelligently moving itself by detecting the obstacles in front of it by the help of the Ultrasonic Sensor. Robot is connected to the smartphone via Bluetooth. The Robot can be controlled by the Android App in its forward, reverse, left, right and stop mode. All these above modes of the Robot are controlled through App buttons. The Robot is in the form of a vehicle mounted with an Ultrasonic Sensor, which sends the signal to the Arduino UNO if there is an Obstacle in front of Robot. Consequently, the Arduino UNO sends the signal to the Motor Driver to stop the Robot. The motion of the Robot can also be controlled by tracking the object through Ultrasonic Sensor. Robot can track the object in its forward, reverse and stop mode..

Solar-Wind Hybrid Power Generation System
NICTRDF/NGIRI/2012-2013/CROSP/3
In parallel to developing technology, demand for more energy makes us seek new energy resources. The most important and interesting application field of this search is renewable energy resources. Wind and solar energy have been popular ones, owing to abundant, ease of availability and convertibility to the electric energy. This project covers realization of a hybrid renewable energy system, which runs under a microcontroller to utilize the solar and wind power. Power resources and loads in the system are monitored and controlled in real time. System control relies mainly on microcontroller (16F877A), 10W solar panel and 1.5W windmill. User can see the parameters of the solar and the wind resources such as the voltage, the operational conditions, the environmental conditions (temperature) and the position of the solar panels??? LDRs on an LCD. The system can also alert the user by messaging with the availability of SIM through the GSM module. It has been observed that this hybrid system works successfully and gives good performance with low cost.
