Bio-Virus Spread Simulation in Real 3D Space using Augmented Reality
Engineered Science Publisher (Q1) (Dec 8, 2021)
Abstract: Due to the emergence of the novel human coronavirus disease (COVID-19), human life is jeopardized. Normal livelihood and economy have been disrupted due to safety concerns associated with the viral dissemination. The pandemic has instilled fear in people due to the lack of understanding and the impact an infection could have. In addition, laboratory experiments focused on coronavirus infection dynamics are labor intensive, costly and time consuming. A viable alternative to wet-lab experimentation is the in silico simulations, which enable difficult tasks to be efficiently and accurately performed by both professionals and citizens alike. This would enable people to gain a simpler understanding of the coronavirus dissemination and be informed timely, to take the preventive measures required. The application described herein was designed to simulate the spread of Covid-19 on different surfaces and showcase its longevity. A case study was also conducted by using this application.
Automated Door System Using Arduino For Crowd Management
Conference Article - ICRITO 2021 (Nov 16, 2021)
Abstract: According to the COVID-19 Weekly Epidemiological Update released by WHO on 4th May 2021, India accounted for 46% of the new global Covid-19 cases, with over 29.4 million Indians contracted with the deadly virus in totality. Additionally, India accounted for 26% of global death in that week, with over 0.37 million citizens having succumbed to Covid-19 since the pandemic has begun. Furthermore, a data suggested that around 20% of people who contract coronavirus show no symptoms and being around them could be a great risk. Ignorance towards the government guidelines about social gathering has resulted in a huge spike of cases. Thus, taking all of this into consideration the objective of the project “Automated Door System Using Arduino for Crowd Management” is to reduce or to an extent totally eliminate the manual work that goes into opening and closing doors using a PIR sensor to detect people and an Arduino Uno as the microcontroller. Furthermore, we intend to only allow a certain number of restricted people in the room, in accordance with the government's social distancing guidelines, in order to help stop or reduce the spread of the deadly virus.
Medbuddy : The Medicine Delivery Robot
Conference Article - ICRITO 2021 (Nov 16, 2021)
Abstract: According to CNN-Health and as of June 2021, authorities have claimed over 174.4 million coronavirus cases and 3.8 million deaths since China reported the first case in December 2019. The objective of the project “MedBuddy” is to reduce the number of coronavirus cases among the medical staff and doctors when they must tend to the patients and administering the medications who are isolated in the general ward. This objective is achieved by designing and developing a Bluetooth controlled robot car built using the Arduino Uno microcontroller and equipped with a spare smartphone whose camera will be used to provide live feed to the application developed using MIT App Inventor. The robot is equipped with tray that allows the medicines to be delivered with an ease to the patients from a safe distance. This will result in making the timely delivery of medicines for the patients and will also reduce the unnecessary contact with the patients, minimizing the risk for medical personnel.
NurseBot : Automating the Health Care Industry
Conference Article - TOTAL 2021 (Sept 3, 2021)
Abstract: The robotic distribution of medications in hospital wards utilising artificial intelligence techniques is investigated in this study, which takes into account the safety and medical concerns of patients as well as those who provide drugs on time. The robot uses an intelligence-based system based on sensors and indications placed throughout the wards to traverse the shortest feasible course through the wards before departing. The programme would ensure that the robot did not collide with other robots or humans along the way, and it would also search for signs that the medicine needed to be administered immediately. Rather of utilising a time-consuming manual technique, we can ensure that infectious illnesses are not transmitted when the drug is administered this way. The functionality and algorithm of this suggested technique were tested on a prototype arena and proven to be effective in the laboratory using a NurseBot robot. The proposed approach saves time and resources, and it's easy to execute with outside monitoring from the hospital reception.
Internet of Things (IoT) System Security Vulnerabilities & its Mitigation
Springer Security and Privacy in Cyberspace (August 29, 2022)
Abstract: The Internet is the most important technology created, like a fabric woven into each of our lives. Over the years the internet has evolved into the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling the inter-connecting of things and the exchange of data between them. The recent boom in the field of IoT has resulted in ample amounts of data being generated and exchanged between layers of the IoT architecture. This has exposed a few Gray areas which need to be seriously addressed, security is the most important and challenging one among them, as it plays a central role and cannot be compromised. Vulnerabilities within an IoT infrastructure are found to be rising in number and continue to get exploited, thus designing a secure IoT architecture is the need of the hour. Our work mainly focuses on analyzing the most widely used network communication protocols for IoT and the vulnerabilities these protocols possess. Furthermore, including the common mitigation techniques to overcome these vulnerabilities and make these protocols safer. Lastly, a few points regarding the essentials of IoT security have been incorporated within the chapter, in addition to a real-time example of how to overcome the vulnerabilities within a home surveillance system and make it completely secure.
Role of Internet of Things (IoT) in Electronic Waste Management
Book Chapter - CRC Press, A Taylor & Francis Group (April 5, 2021)
Abstract: The chapter summarizes the ill effects of electronic waste, which is increasing at an uncontrollable rate with rapid advancement in technology. It has been projected that while IoT devices contribute toward a major volume of electronic waste products, the same can be utilized to manage the problem. Various techniques at the organizational level have been described to manage electronic wastes. The use of big data analysis along with cloud architecture and IoT devices can create a sustainable infrastructure to manage electronic wastes. In addition to these, three DIY techniques have been elaborated on to encourage reuse among consumers
