An FPGA based snake robot

Snake robots are designed to safely perform the tasks that aren't easily done by Humans. There are many applications of Snake robots like Laser cutting from performing surgery to inspection. And also in rescue operations. During the last decade to now, the published literature of Snake robots has been increased vastly. However, no review has done on the locomotion of a Snake Robot using FPGA. The purpose of this paper is to give such review has been widely studied in the past several decades by lots of researchers. In this paper, we survey and discuss the state of the art, challenges, and possibilities of perception-driven obstacle-aided locomotion for snake robots. According to that obstacle, the action is taken on that obstacle by snake robot and how it destroys it. The project is developed by choosing software which we have chosen is Xilinx ISE10.4 environment using verilog and synthesized on FPGA part Spartan3AN board. Xilinx is a powerful software tool that is used to design, synthesize, simulate, test and verify digital circuit designs.

Obstacle and range detection for cane using ultrasonic and gyroscopic sensor

At least once in our life, almost all of us have experienced the suffocation of not able to navigate due to the power cut at night time even in the places which is well known to us. Visually challenged people have to face the suffocation on daily basis. The most useful tool for navigation in these circumstances seems to be a cane but even with the help of a normal cane is a difficult task for a visually challenged person as the cane can only detect obstacles within a range of about a meter. Obstacle and range detection for Cane Using ultrasonic & gyroscopic sensor can liberate the visually challenged a better walking experience. This paper reports on a research and study that helps visually-impaired people to walk more confidently. The aim of the paper is to address the design and work of a cane that could communicate with the users through vibration and yet be budget friendly. The work involves coding and instrumental installation. A number of tests and surveys have been carried out on this cane and the results are discussed. This survey found that the obstacle and range detection for Cane Using ultrasonic & gyroscopic sensor functions well as observed, in alerting users about the obstacles in front and range detection.

A comparative study of the ductile design of column based on new is 13920-2016 and old is 13920-1993

This paper presents a comparative study of the ductile design of column based on New IS 13920-2016 & Old IS 13920-1993. The past earthquake experiences in India clearly demonstrated that the typical structural design and construction methods lack the basic seismic resistance criteria. The implementation of ductile design and detailing practices in an ordinary building is one of the major areas need to be focused. The overall ductility in the reinforced concrete structure is a tough issue. But in some strategic locations of the building structure certain design factor and reinforcement detailing can be adopted to minimize the seismic damage and life-threatening collapse. The techniques are simple, inexpensive and elaborately discussed in the Bureau of Indian standard code of practice (IS13920).

Size miniaturization of microstrip patch antenna

In this paper, we discuss size miniaturization of microstrip patch antenna using the miniaturization techniques because the compact wireless devices have been in uses and there a need to reduce the size of microstrip patch antenna. This micro strip patch antenna has been designed and simulated using HFSS (High-frequency structure simulation software) tool and getting the good frequency and VSWR results within the UWB frequency range 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. Modified MPA by etching step slot in the ground plane and etching the polygon slot in patch plane.

Social media and its impacts on politics

In recent years, social media are said to have an impact on the public discourse and communication in the society. The Internet has become an increasingly important tool for citizens to not only gain political knowledge but to engage in the political process itself. In particular, social media are increasingly used in political context. More recently, micro-blogging services (e.g., Twitter) and social network sites (e.g., Facebook) are believed to have the potential for increasing political participation. While Twitter is an ideal platform for users to spread not only information in general but also political opinions publicly through their networks, political institutions have also begun to use Facebook pages or groups for the purpose of entering into direct dialogs with citizens and encouraging more political discussions. In this paper, our main focus is to discuss the influence of social media on politics. We explained the importance of social media from the perspective of voters and politicians. We also focused on positive and negative effects of social media on politics. Finally, we conducted an online survey through questionnaires to know the impact of social media on politics.

Experimental study on concrete by replacing cement and aggregate with ground granulated blast furnace slag and crump rubber

Concrete is most widely used building material in the world, as well as the largest user of natural resources with annual consumption of 12.6 billion tons. Concrete is a mixture of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water. Concrete plays a vital role in the development of infrastructure which is, buildings, industrial structures, bridges, and highways etc. Recycled rubber tyre waste is a promising material in the construction industry and the sole reason for this is the lightweight of the resulting concrete when the rubber tyre is incorporated in it as an aggregate replacement.One another such material is Ground Granulated Blast Slag (GGBS). Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) is a by-product of the blast furnaces used to make iron. GGBS is used to make durable concrete structures in combination with ordinary Portland cement and/or other pozzolanic materials. GGBS has been widely used in Europe, and increasingly in the United States and in Asia for its superiority in concrete durability, extending the lifespan of buildings from fifty years to a hundred years
