Communication protocols in cloud robotics
(IGI Global, 2024) Savidhan Shetty, C.S.; Badiger, M.
The advent of cloud robotics has transformed traditional robotic systems by integrating them with the vast computational power of cloud infrastructure. This chapter explores the pivotal role of communica¬tion protocols in facilitating seamless interactions between physical robots and the cloud. The founda¬tion of cloud robotics lies in addressing specific challenges such as low-latency, reliability, scalability, and security. Various communication protocols, including MQTT, RESTful APIs, and WebSocket, are examined for their suitability in different applications, ranging from data offloading to real-time moni¬toring. Security considerations are paramount in the transmission of sensitive data between robots and cloud servers, necessitating encryption, authentication, and authorization mechanisms. The chapter also delves into the importance of standardization and interoperability to foster collaboration among diverse robotic systems. © 2024, IGI Global. All rights reserved.
Controlled release of nutrients to mammalian cells cultured in shake flasks
(2012) Hegde, S.; Pant, T.; Pradhan, K.; Badiger, M.; Gadgil, M.
Though cell culture-based protein production processes are rarely carried out under batch mode of operation, cell line and initial process development operations are usually carried out in batch mode due to simplicity of operation in widely used scale down platforms like shake flasks. Nutrient feeding, if performed, is achieved by bolus addition of concentrated feed solution at different intervals, which leads to large transient increases in nutrient concentrations. One negative consequence is increased waste metabolite production. We have developed a hydrogel-based nutrient delivery system for continuous feeding of nutrients in scale down models like shake flasks without the need for manual feed additions or any additional infrastructure. Continuous delivery also enables maintaining nutrient concentrations at low levels, if desired. The authors demonstrate the use of these systems for continuous feeding of glucose and protein hydrolysate to a suspension Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) culture in a shake flask. Glucose feeding achieved using the glucose-loaded hydrogel resulted in a 23% higher integral viable cell density and an 89% lower lactate concentration at the end of the culture when compared with a bolus-feed of glucose. 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).

Microplastic menace: Ecological ramifications and solutions for a sustainable future
(IGI Global, 2024) Badiger, M.; Mathew, J.A.; Savidhan Shetty, C.S.; Kumara, V.; Shetty, G.S.; Pratheksha Rai, N.; Mehnaz Fathima, C.
Microplastics and nanoplastics, particles smaller than 5 millimeters, have induced profound ecological imbalances in aquatic environments, posing threats to habitats, food chains, and organisms through pollution and bioaccumulation. Their capacity to adsorb harmful chemicals raises concerns for aquatic life and human health via contaminated seafood consumption. Furthermore, terrestrial ecosystems are not spared, with soil quality and nutrient cycling impacted by these pollutants. Given their global dispersion through wind and water currents, even remote areas are affected. Addressing these challenges mandates significant actions, including reducing plastic production, improving waste management, and implementing strategies for environmental remediation. Public awareness and education are pivotal for fostering sustainable practices and mitigating the pervasive impact of plastic contamination on ecosystems worldwide. © 2025, IGI Global.

Outage probability analysis of vertical underwater wireless optical links under varying turbulence with pointing errors and attenuation losses
(Optica Publishing Group (formerly OSA), 2025) Savidhan Shetty, C.S.; Badiger, M.; Prasad, D.
In this paper, we investigate the outage probability performance of underwater wireless optical communication for a vertical link. Due to temperature and salinity variations, turbulence in the vertical link ranges from strong to weak. The vertical link turbulence is modeled using a cascade of the gamma–gamma and hyperbolic tangent log-normal distributions. In addition to turbulence, we consider the impact of attenuation losses in the underwater medium and pointing errors at the receiver for outage probability analysis. A closed-form expression for the outage probability of the vertical link is derived. Outage probability results are presented for different water types, signal-to-noise ratio thresholds, degrees of pointing errors, and data rates. Additionally, an asymptotic analysis is provided to offer insights at high transmitted power. The accuracy of the derived closed-form expression is validated using Monte Carlo simulations. © 2025 Optica Publishing Group.

The Future of Work Human Life and Labor in a 6G World
(IGI Global, 2025) Savidhan Shetty, S.; Badiger, M.
With the advent of 6G, human life and labor will undergo a major transformation. Ultra-high-speed data, ultra-low latency, and seamless integration with AI, VR, and AR will redefine how we work and interact. Automation, virtual workplaces, and evolving job structures will shape a 6G-driven society. While some repetitive, manual jobs will disappear, new roles in technology development, cybersecurity, and immersive technologies will emerge. Continuous reskilling and upskilling will be essential to staying relevant in this fast-changing landscape. Implementing 6G presents challenges, including data privacy, cybersecurity, and the digital divide, which must be addressed to ensure equitable access. Additionally, deploying 6G infrastructure may introduce new ecological concerns, requiring sustainable solutions. This chapter explores 6G's impact on the future of work, associated challenges, and emerging opportunities. It examines labor markets, technological innovation, and ethical considerations, focusing on human life, labor, and the role of 6G in shaping society. © 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
