Nishant Kaushik and Rahul Gupta of Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurugram visited Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi to witness the happenings of “Open House 2023” on 4th November, 2023. It was a one day event dedicated to provide an insight into path-breaking research work, student projects and the numerous advanced facilities and laboratories available in IIT Delhi,”
The registration for the event began from 8 AM to 9 AM at IIT Delhi. The event included sessions on ‘Experience and journey with Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’ by Srijan Pal Singh, ‘The twin space missions of India - Chandrayaan and Aditya L1’ by Professor Suprit Singh, and Robotics to Rural Technologies by Professor S K Saha.
Later, students got the opportunity to visit the demonstrations that were depicted from 10 AM to 2:30 PM. Following tech projects were displayed at the Open House 2023:
- Autoscope-Made-in India Automated Microscopy: A digital microscope and its utility for class room teaching.
- Sustainable and Affordable Homes Using Agro-Residues like Stubble: A Step towards Green Future.
- Multi-user video transmission over LiFi Network.
- Scalable wearable pressure sensor that can help doctors and specialists analyze gait patterns and postural deformities.
- A way towards optical nanoscopy- At the Photonics Research Lab of IIT Delhi, researchers have developed a novel structured illumination microscope to get nanoscopic resolution over a large field of view.
- THz Handheld Remote Detector (THRED)- In the lab exhibit, the T-ray based THRED platform will be demonstrated to detect and image chemicals. It is faster, lighter, can see around the corners and even materials hidden behind paper, plastic, cloth, and rubber.
- Engineered Microbiome: Simple, Scientific, and Self-Sustainable Engine to Improve Rural Environment.
- Novel light-weight soft body armour and Hybrid flexible armour.
- Portable Robotic Device to Detect Slippery Floorings.
- The CoRE stack - a community-based digital public good for climate resilience.
The visit to the event helped the students to understand the insights of the research work and also got the opportunity to understand the technologies used behind the creation of projects which were depicted at the event.
