To design and develop and robust automated medical system for fluorescence-based early detection of cancer using an ultrasound imaging technique.
Project | 02
Project | 02 | IoT-driven Automated & Integrated Microfluidic device for DNA Amplification using PCR technique
To develop a protocol after identifying challenges involved in developing an affordable point-of-care module for on-the-spot detection of virulence like MDR-TB, especially in developing countries like India, which have poor laboratory settings and resources. Different approaches can be initiated by using 3D Printing, Soft Lithography, and Laser engravers for fabrication. To control the heating module for three different temperatures, i.e., Denaturation (94C), Annealing (60C), and Extension (72C), respectively, heaters can be interfaced with the controlling and monitoring devices such as Arduino, and DIP chipsets. Finally, the result can be viewed on the liquid crystal display (LCD), parameters such as the number of cycles, Total Time required, and Temperature range. Even more, the focus can be correlated for biomedical applications such as Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) with Big Data and Internet-of-things (IoT), which is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network using cloud computing without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

Project | 03 | BRAIN TUMOR DETECTION USING RANDOM WALK SOLVER BASED SEGMENTATION FROM MRI
A mass of tissue that does originate from the gradual growth of abnormal cells is called a tumor. Usually, in our body, the cells get aged, dies, and then they are replaced by newly born cells. Tumor cells are those cells that grow, even though when the body does not require them, and moreover, as normal old cells, they do not expire. In Digital Image Processing, the detection of brain tumors from Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become one of the most challenging and emerging research fields nowadays. Detection of the brain tumor is the main objective of this proposed system. Detection plays a critical role in biomedical imaging processing. Here, MRI brain image is the source that is used as a database for the tumor detection process. The proposed system incorporates some noise removal function named as a median filter, followed by contrast enhancement and segmentation which are the basic concepts of image processing techniques. In the proposed system, a random walk solver-based segmentation technique is used to detect the tumor portion more accurately. The proposed method extracts the tumor region from the MRI brain image. The experimental results on various images containing brain tumors indicate that the proposed method is more accurate in the scanning of the tumor size in pixels and less time consumption for the detection of a tumor portion. Hence, the performance characteristic of the proposed system is several times better than the existing system in terms of both tumor size in pixels and reduced execution time.

Project | 04 | GSM Based Intruder Detection
Home security has been a major issue where crime is increasing, and everybody wants to take proper measures to prevent intrusion. In addition, there was a need to automate the home so that users can take advantage of the technological advancement so that a person getting off the office does not get melted in the hot climate. Considering the fact of privacy and also storing valuable belongings, it is very important to protect them from trespassers. With the level of state-of-the-art technologies available these days, we have plenty of hi-tech options for protection and security. And one such option is “GSM Based Intruder Detection”.

Project | 05 | Amphibot Surveillance Robot
An Amphibious robot is a robot that can move on both land and water and perform various tasks that are either difficult or impossible for human beings. This can be done in various ways like taking inspiration from movements of amphibians such as snake, eel, salamander, fish, and centipede and building robots similar to them or build a robotic vehicle and provide an additional mechanism for movement in the water. The amphibious surveillance robot is aerodynamically designed to move in both water as well as land. The movement in-land is by two wheels powered by 100rpm motors and an idle wheel for balancing at the rear end. The water movement is by a set of fan-like paddles which is directly mounted on the wheels. This robot moves in different terrains and conditions and also in water. The robot is controlled by the wireless control system using a microcontroller circuit. The surveillance is done by the wireless camera which transmits the live video to the output device i.e. laptop or TV. This system uses RF waves for transmission.

Project | 06 | Intelligent Essential manager for Kitchen
A smart home is an efficient way to monitor what is going on at house when the owner is away from home. This project provides a way to program household appliances and track unwanted intruders from hampering the security of home from remote distances. A home Automation System (HASY) automates the owner’s house, triggers the events, and keeps the watch on various routines involving light fixtures, security components, and the heating or cooling of the air-conditioning system. Due to the high initial cost, the HASY is out of reach of many who really need it. The use of a recent microcontroller can reduce the cost drastically while increasing its functionality manifolds. The end-user can lower utility bills by automatically turning the devices off when these devices are not intended to be used.

Project | 07 | Disaster Responding Robot
Disaster responding robot used to when a natural disaster like an earthquake hits a populated area or an accident like gas leakage takes place in a building, rescue teams have to get a quick overview of the situation in order to identify possible locations of victims, which need to be rescued, and dangerous locations, which need to be secured. In order to provide the rescue facility, advanced robots embedded with lots of sensors and functions are the centre of attraction of people and researchers all around the world. This project is Wireless Sensor Network for disaster management. The module made for wireless sensor network consists of a fixed node with the rescue team and a moving node with the robot. The robot module works as, searching for living human beings, and collects data from the air quality control module, localizes it with respect to the fixed nodes, and sends the data. Thus Robot-supported systems accelerate search operations. The team of rescue members can wirelessly receive the data in real-time.

Project | 08 | R-wave Detection and Monitoring Heart Abnormalities in ECG
An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a biological signal and non-invasive method to record the electrical activity of the heart by electrodes placed on the surface of the human body. Acquiring and analysis of R-wave can be done traditionally using different software. To be in advance this work focuses not only on acquiring and analyzing of ECG signals but also on the identification of cardiac abnormalities. This would bridge the gap between medical physicians and engineers. Our project is carried out with the help of LabVIEW software. This model works for identifying particular abnormality. The signal is then fed to PC through NI ELVIS DAQ. Here the waveform in analog form is being converted to digital form and is analyzed for detecting the R peak of the ECG signal acquired, based on which the identification of cardiac disorders is done by sending them to the loops containing the conditions for cardiac disorders. Based on the results obtained from the analysis of the ECG signal and comparison with the loop conditions, the cardiac disorders were identified and displayed instantly.
