  A Low-Cost Multi-Sensor IoT System for Real-Time Segregation of Polymer Waste

  By Pankaj Mudholkar, Megha Mudholkar

  Abstract: Segregation of solid waste is a critical aspect of waste management, especially in settings where technical and financial constraints limit the adoption of sophisticated technologies. The proposed low cost, sensor-driven smart waste sorting system combines a variety of sensing technologies with an integrated decision-making system. The system employs an inductive sensor, moisture sensor and capacitive sensor to measure the physical properties of waste items, allowing segregation into metal, wet and …

  IoT-Enabled Flexible Polymer Sensors for On-Body Health Monitoring and Real-Time Data Transmission

  By Pankaj Mudholkar, Megha Mudholkar, Janardhan G, N. Linga Reddy, Guguloth Ravi, V. Akilandeswari

  Abstract: Wearable health monitoring systems have grown increasingly vital in shifting care beyond clinical settings, yet many existing technologies remain hamstrung by rigid substrates and unreliable data streaming, impeding continuous and comfortable physiological assessment. Despite advances in flexible materials, most current sensor platforms suffer from limited mechanical endurance, signal instability under dynamic conditions, or an inability to sustain real-time wireless transmission. This work addresses those deficiencies by introducing a fully integrated, …
