Robotic Machine to Detect Slippery Flooring Amongst Tech Displayed at IIT Open House

A robotic gadget to detect slippery floorings, a wearable stress sensor to research gait patterns and postural deformities, an engineered microbiome and a digital microscope, are among the many key applied sciences showcased on the annual Open House at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. 

The sixteenth version of the Open House, its flagship occasion for varsity college students, was performed on Saturday whereby a number of the cutting-edge analysis works had been displayed for them by the institute school and college students.

“The objective of the Open House is to show school students what IIT Delhi is doing in science and technology and showcase our work in the areas that impact the real world. The whole idea of the Open House, where interactive sessions and lectures were also organised, is to encourage school students to make informed decisions about their future,” IIT Delhi Director Rangan Banerjee stated.

Around 2,000 college college students from greater than 40 faculties within the Delhi-NCR visited the Open House which exhibited an in depth assortment of revolutionary analysis and product growth initiatives.

The researchers showcased round 50 purposeful demos and 100 analysis posters highlighting cutting-edge applied sciences.

Kusum Saini, a PhD Scholar Vasant Matsagar (Dogra Chair and Professor) from the Department of Civil Engineering, displayed a brand new method developed by them for utilising strong waste like agro-residues for making sustainable and inexpensive properties to contribute in direction of the answer of issues above, and to fulfil the imaginative and prescient of India towards a inexperienced future, whereas successfully addressing the air air pollution points, making the development practices atmosphere pleasant, and at-large guaranteeing sustainability and local weather actions.

The Injury Mechanics Lab (DIML) has developed a novel cost-effective, moveable and biofidelic ground friction tester to precisely consider the effectiveness of the slip resistance means of floorings.

“This robotic device mimics the actual human slipping motion and calculates the available friction during its motion. The device’s structure is highly modular and is fully programmable for its slipping speeds, normal loads, and slipping angles to take into account different slipping scenarios,” stated Arnab Chanda, Professor on the Centre for Biomedical Engineering.
