Project Name: Smart Ecosystem to Facilitate Elderly People in Ambient Assisted Living Environment

Investigator: Dr. Jigarkumar H. Shah (PI), Dr. Rutvij H. Jhaveri (Co-PI 1), Dr. Ashish D. Patel (Co-PI 2)

Abstract: The population of older adults will be approximately 250 million around the year 2050 as per the estimation from the United Nations word prospectus in 2017 [1]. Due to the increase in medical facilities, the elderly population in the world is increasing at a rapid rate. As the number increases, the needs of the older adults are growing as well as the percentage of elderly persons living lonely is also increasing significantly due to social changes. This situation demands the solution of several problems such as loneliness, chronic conditions, social interaction, transportation, day-to-day life and many more for an independent living person. The goal of ambient assisted living (AAL) is to improve the way how older adults can live in a better way with the help of state-of-the-art assistive technologies. The European Union has identified several objectives for AAL .

Living in a preferred environment with independence
Constant health monitoring
Promoting smart systems for better living

A considerable percentage of the elderly population may not be able to interact directly with new technologies. This situation needs some substantial development towards the use of assistive intelligent systems. This proposal aims to address the answer to this problem through practical implementation of AAL ecosystem by fulfilling the objectives mentioned above.

Project Name: Development of low cost and Flexible memristor devices for high density data storage and Neuromorphic Applications.

Investigator: Dr. Ankur Solanki, Dr. Mohendra Roy, Dr. Prahlad Baruah

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our lives significantly in the last few years. Even at the earliest stages of commercialisation, we have seen the power and potential of AI to support workers, diagnose diseases, and improve national security. Conventional digital computers are not efficient for brain-like (neuromorphic) computing such as artificial neural networks, which creates a tremendous power demand. The next stage of artificial intelligence requires devices and circuits that mimic biological processes. In particular, synaptic or memristor devices must be capable of learning in hardware. They must retain distinguishable states, be suitable for parallel computing and operate at high speed and low power consumption. Previous attempts at such devices have been limited by disruption of the synapse memory during reading operations. Essentially, the act of remembering can cause the synaptic device to forget. This proposal supports fundamental research to explore a new synaptic mechanism that circumvents this issue. These devices will be based on the hybrid materials, which have a resistive polarization that can be reversed by an applied electric field. This polarization can be read nondestructively by light, fulfilling the requirement for a synaptic device. These synaptic devices will be made from perovskites, materials with organic and inorganic components that are loosely bound by van der Waals forces. This approach will enable the realization of high-performance synaptic devices by informing the selection of materials, devices, and circuits for neuromorphic computing. The results from this award will thereby benefit the Indian economy, national security, and health by enabling fundamental advances in the science and technology of artificial intelligence. The PI will also introduce and disseminate knowledge on materials and devices to enable AI by outreach to students. The research objective of this project is to explore, understand and exploit the synaptic memory property and characteristics in halide perovskites-based for the development of artificial synapses. The key idea is to exploit the non-volatile resistive switching in multifunctional perovskites. Van der Waals halide perovskites carry outstanding semiconducting property from separate functional groups so one could decouple and optimize properties. In this project, the PIs will predict and understand the intrinsic/extrinsic properties of materials proposed under external stimuli, and evaluate and understand the device characteristics and performance. The PIs will synthesize high quality flexible thin film of halide perovskite materials, fabricate two-terminal artificial synapses/circuits, study the structural-functional relationship by determining the device performance in terms of switching speed, data storage capacity, retention time, energy consumption per synaptic event, endurance, and test/optimize the synaptic device. This work will, therefore, advance knowledge of fundamental material physics, synaptic switching dynamics as well as ideal circuit architectures of novel resistive devices based on layered halide perovskite materials.

Project Name: Hybrid perovskite based Flexible memristor on paper subtract for data storage and Neuromorphic Computing

Investigator: Dr. Ankur Solanki, Dr. Rohit Srivastava, Dr. Mohendra Roy

Abstract: In this project, the investigators propose the growth of hybrid flexible memristor devices on cellulose-based paper substrates to predict the intrinsic/extrinsic properties of synaptic/memory devices under external stimuli (electrical/optical/mechanical) to evaluate and understand the device characteristics and performance. Cellulose papers are typically biodegradable and more environmentally friendly, which makes them a promising alternative to petroleum-based non-biodegradable plastic substrates. Moreover, the paper is compatible with roll-to-roll printing, which makes low cost paper substrate-based electronically viable. This approach can potentially lead to low-cost mass-production of circuits where memory and processors can be integrated together for high-density data storage and high speed data transfer applications such as cloud storage, internet of things, artificial intelligence, high-speed computation, etc. This work will, therefore, led advance knowledge of fundamental materials physics/engineering, synaptic switching dynamics, memristor storage, as well as ideal circuit architectures of novel resistive devices based on layered halide perovskite materials.

Project Name: Design of high cost low dielectric microstrip antenna using low cost high dielectric antenna

Investigator: Dr Ganga Prasad Pandey

Abstract: Thanks to the speedy development of wireless communication systems to generate the competition amongst the researchers for developing the advanced antennas that meet the demands of the latest applications with attributes such as broadband, symmetrical radiation pattern, high gain and compact in size. Patch antenna is the suitable candidate to satisfy all above attributes with easy fabrication. The different antenna properties depend upon height of antenna and dielectric constant of the antenna. As height increases, bandwidth increases but at the same time mismatching also happens. High dielectric constant materials have low cost while low dielectric constant materials have high cost. The effective dielectric constant may be reduced by inserting air gap between ground and patch.

Project Name: Indoor Navigation System - InNavi

Investigator: Dr. Paawan Sharma

Abstract: According to recent statistics people spend 80–90% of their time in indoors environments, including shopping malls, libraries, airports or university campuses, while 70% of cellular calls and 80% of data connections originate from indoors. This has triggered an increasing interest in indoor Navigation System and location-aware applications, e.g., in-building guidance and navigation, asset tracking, elderly support. This study deals with indoor position using Zigbee and IEEE 802.11(Wi-Fi) standard that has a distinct advantage like low cost over other Indoor Navigation System. The aim of this project is identity the accurate position of user and navigates them. Main focus is to achieve better accuracy in position by studying various aspects of location fingerprinting based Indoor Navigation System. Apart from the navigation proposed system also helps user to find the best parking space through android application. System will collect the data about Receiving Signal Strength Intensity(RSSI) at any position which will lead to better position accuracy than other existing system at low cost.

Project Name: Spectral Discrimination and Separability Analysis of Crops and Weeds Using Deep Learning Techniques

Investigator :Dr. Samir B. Patel (Co-PI)

Abstract: Classification of hyperspectral data is very challenging and mapping of land cover is one of its applications. The state of art implementation includes various land cover classification techniques, but still, uncertainty exists in labeling various clusters to their own classes without using any a priori information. Hence, we propose the development of Hyperspectral image/data classification techniques which can serve as a valuable tool in agriculture and urban development. The application of herbicide to weeds at an early stage plays a vital role in the management of field crops, both monetarily and ecologically. We propose the use of hierarchical inference over deep learning models to encode multiple levels of abstraction for classification of AVIRIS hyperspectral data for discrimination of crops and weeds in the field. The goal is to improve the classification accuracy to guide in the process of selective application of herbicide to weeds.

Abstract: Thematic mapping and more specifically PolSAR image/data classification are one of the most common applications of remote sensing. Precise classification of the PolSAR images/data is a challenging task. This has been an active research area for the last three decades. Land cover maps obtained from the classification of remote sensing data are frequently used to express economic, demographic and environmental issues at different levels. Mapping land-cover of the agriculture-urban fringe in a timely and accurate manner is thus of great importance. Hence, we propose the development of SAR image/data classification techniques which can serve as a valuable tool in agriculture and urban development.
