Item Learning by creating: Interactive programming for Indian high schools(2012) Gupta, N.; Tejovanth, N.; Murthy, P.In this paper we discuss results and observations based on empirical studies of introducing programming using Scratch-Arduino to high school students. We analyse the programming experience of students across diverse educational and economic backgrounds, culture and region. Learning of key programming and electronics concepts was measured during the exercise. Results indicate that these fundamentals can be imparted at high schools in the Indian educational context. We find that the introduction of logic programming and computer-hardware interfacing at the high school level is advantageous in terms of creating an interactive environment fostering learning and creativity. © 2012 IEEE.Item User centered inclusive design for assistive technology(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Nayak, S.K.; Chavan, N.S.; Srinath, N.An user-centered inclusive design approach has been presented for the design and development of assistive technology for the disable and aged with an emphasis on the visually impaired.

Hence it is important to irrigate the plants in an astute way to get good production by maximizing the yield per unit space. Irrigation is the supply of an appropriate amount of water to the plants at a precise time. The objective of this endeavour is to irrigate the plants using the smart drip irrigation system within National Institute of Technology Karnataka campus. To achieve this, open source platform is used as a central controller of the system. Various sensors have been employed which continuously provide the existing parameters of factors governing healthiness of plants. Based on the information obtained from the RTC module water is supplied to the plants at regular interval of time by controlling a solenoid valve. The entire irrigation system can be monitored and managed by the webpage. This web page has a facility for controlling the irrigation of plants, both in manual and automatic fashion. The health of the plants is monitored by a raspberry pi camera which gives live streaming to the webpage. Water flow sensor accords information about water flow to the controller by the means of wireless communication. This information is analyzed by the controller to find out leakages in the pipe. Further, weather prediction is carried out, so as to regulate the quantity of water being administered thus making it more reliable and efficient. © 2018 IEEE.Item Smart Cane for Assisting Visually Impaired People(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Nandini, A.V.; Dwivedi, A.; Kumar, N.A.; Ashwin, T.S.; Vishnuvardhan, V.; Guddeti, R.M.R.Blindness disables a person from self-navigating outside well-known environments. It affects their ability to perform several jobs, duties, and activities. They are dependent on external assistance which can be provided by humans, dogs or special electronic devices for better decision making. This motivated us to create a prototype called 'Smart cane for assisting visually impaired people' to overcome the problems they face in their daily life. Our device is a low cost and lightweight system that processes signals and alerts the visually impaired over any obstacle, potholes or water puddles through different beeping patterns. It senses the light intensity of the environment and illuminates the LED accordingly. These are accomplished by incorporating two ultrasonic sensors, a moisture sensor and a LDR sensor along with an Arduino Nano micro-controller. These are placed at specific positions of the cane for efficient guidance. Moreover, a GSM module is also added to the system so that the visually impaired person can send a message to the emergency contact number in case of distress. The developed model showed 89 percent accuracy and 80 percent of the users were satisfied with the developed prototype. © 2019 IEEE.Item Fully Automated Waste Management System Using Line Follower Robot(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Geetha, V.; Salvi, S.; Ghosh, S.K.; Ahmed, S.S.; Meshram, R.S.With a population of over seven billion which generates waste of more than two billion metric tons a year, waste management is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. All this waste needs to be managed so that there will not be an overflow at the waste disposal bins in a locality as that might lead to deadly diseases and pollution. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we propose a way to collect the waste automatically using a line follower robot and dump it in the dumping ground. The proposed system uses an Arduino Yun which is installed on top of the line follower and a NodeMCU, which is installed at the garbage disposal sites for communication and collection of garbage. Both these components communicate over the “ThingSpeak†Cloud. These bins continuously send the percentage of waste that is in the bin. When the percentage reaches a certain threshold, the line follower goes to the site and collects the garbage and dumps it at a nearby dumping yard. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Item Wireless Monitoring of Environmental Parameters for Underground Mining using Internet of Things with LoRa Transceiver Module(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Kumar Reddy, S.; Naik, A.S.; Raj Mandela, G.The mining industry is known for valuable minerals all over the world and the way to get minerals is by mining below the surface. The production, productivity, and safety of underground mine environments are affected by the environmental factors of the mines. Mining in underground areas is at high risk with high accident rates due to environmental conditions such as dust, flammable gasses, and toxic gases exposed to workers. The other environmental factors that affect underground mines are temperature, humidity, air pressure, and fire. The proposed system makes use of the Internet of Things (IoT) with Long Range (LoRa) wireless communication technology in the underground mining environment to build an effective mine safety system. In this paper 433 MHz, Long Range (LoRa) transceiver module integrated with DHT 22 temperature sensor is used to monitor temperature and humidity implemented at a specific location to collect real-time environmental parameters. The results demonstrate that sensed environmental parameters data is acquired in real-time to monitor data with a certain distance from the transmitter in a wireless environment. The system can extend to raise an early warning of any hazardous events with the integration of gas sensors and also can connect the LoRa module gateway to a cloud database to monitor data from anywhere and at any time. The developed LoRa-based system can deploy in an underground mining area to monitor the real-time environmental parameters from the surface of the mine site by supervisors to avoid any hazards. © 2022 IEEE.Item Development of Fault Detection Method in Cable Using Arduino UNO(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Bairwa, B.; Rathod, S.; Yaragatti, U.R.; Manohar, K.A.This study provides the investigation of underground cable fault. Fault are classified into two type such as symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault. For this fault detection range of about 1m to 2.6 km of the underground cable have been investigated. In underground cable, fault is validating through live tests as per the research knowledge. The underground cable fault are largely caused due to improper insulation, interweave, mesh and other accessories. symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault are present to detect and classify incipient fault in underground cable at the distribution voltage level. The wavelet transformer approach has been used to detect the fault location of the underground fault. This project deal with number of high voltage cable fault location technique with modeling and simulation. © 2022 IEEE.Item Empowering Women's Safety with smart IoT Technology: A Robust Protection System(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Ramesh, N.V.K.; Alaparthi, A.; Sai Charan, G.; Settipalli, R.; Velga, P.; Vani, B.V.Nowadays, women's safety has emerged as one of the world's most pressing issues, and crime against women has significantly increased nationwide. The frequency of auto theft and accidents has increased significantly as compared to the previous decade. The value of a human life exceeds all other values, and it is more crucial to seek assistance when you do so than to provide a helping hand. Every day, women from all walks of life struggle to maintain their safety and defend themselves. In the presence of insensitive guys who regularly harass, assault, and violate the dignity of women, and in front of their wandering eyes. Public transport, especially public places, has become hunter territory. For these atrocities that women undergo current scenario A clever wearable safety tool for girls primarily based totally at the Internet of Things is being implemented. It consists of a Arduino, Camera and a buzzer, and a button to activate the service. This unit is very remote and with the click of a button, it is activated by the victim when attacked, retrieves their current location and captures images of the victim Attacker via Esp32 Cam Module. A predetermined contact number will receive both the taken image and the location link. It monitors through the victim's smartphone and avoids the usage of additional hardware or modules, keeping the device compact. Live video streaming is via webcam and live Position is obtained by GPS module. This paper makes a collision avoidance and detection systems. There are numerous initiatives being taken with the goal of saving lives. The proposed study intends to develop an IoT-based security system that prioritises protecting women. © 2023 IEEE.
