Upon first glance, the iChessOne impresses with its aesthetic appeal, bearing all the characteristics of a traditional,
We have proven that natural comfort control can maintain reasonable interior temperatures without the use of any mechanical climate control devices or sophisticated building technologies. Our first building, an aircraft hangar in Boulder Colorado, maintains 15°C (60°F), plus or minus 11°C (20°F) through the proper application of thermal mass, insulation and solar gain.
AIM: Micromouse is a wheeled robot that solves the unknown maze. The mouse must keep track of its location, find walls as it explores, map out the maze, and recognize when it has arrived at the desired destination. Micromouse can automatically memorize maze data, choose the shortest way, and then accelerate to the predetermined destination.
The environment is deteriorating with the use of fossil fuels, leading to climate change and other perils for the planet. Since the transport vehicles driven by petrol/diesel are a major source of pollution, electric vehicles are starting to be widely used.
The research focuses on configuring a simple home security framework using a PIR sensor (Passive Infra-Red) in combination with a microcontroller. The framework aims to detect and monitor the area, responding effectively to security threats.
Our project aims to revolutionize emergency medical services in rural communities by introducing a network of drone-based ambulances. The current healthcare infrastructure in these areas faces numerous challenges, including long travel distances, limited resources, and difficult terrain, which often lead to delays in accessing life-saving medical care. By leveraging drone technology,
