TALK: An Assistive Device to convert Breath into Speech

An Assistive Device to convert breath into speech.[9][10][11] It is a patent-pending innovative technology which uses the variations in person's breath help him either dictate letters which are further combined and synthesised as sentences or speak-out specific commands/phrases depending on the mode selected.[12][13]

CLUMSY

A quadruped robot with 16 Servo Motors and an IMU Unit.[14][15] It is a research project with an aim to develop an Artificially Intelligent Neural Network to induce self-learning of walking in a quadruped robot. CLUMSY is installed at the Science and Innovation Museum - ‘Navachara’ at President's Estate, New Delhi, India.[7][12][16]

Bitruder

A Non-Motorized Dual Extruder for Rep-Rap 3D Printers to enable such printers to simultaneously print with two cartridges.[17] It uses only the basic components of a Prusa i3 Rep-Rap 3D Printer without the need of any additional hardware.[12][18]

VIKI

Offline voice controlled home automation system. VIKI stands for Virtual Interactive Kinect Intelligence.[19] It understands speech commands and control the appliances connected to it.[12][20]

WP-Thumbnail

Realtime screenshot generating plugin for WordPress. It is a simple WordPress Plugin that allows the user to use a short-code to generate dynamic screenshot of webpages and save a link of the same in posts as well as take a real-time snapshot of the served webpage.[11][12]

Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV)

A working prototype of a semi-autonomous heavy duty robotic vehicle capable of operating over a wide variety of terrains.[21] The cognitive process for maneuvering the vehicle was managed through sensory inputs such as wireless web-camera. It could be loaded with an array of sensors capable of performing need based tasks.[12][22]

BIPED

Static locomotion bipedal robot with an aim of developing a walking platform capable of locomotion with 6 independent servos.[12][23]
