    Sustainable Air Conditioning Technologies: Innovations and Future Prospects

    By Prashant Roy

    Abstract: The increasing demand for air conditioning across the globe, especially in emerging economies, has placed a significant strain on energy resources and contributed to rising greenhouse gas emissions. Conventional air conditioning systems, which largely rely on vapor compression cycles and high-GWP (global warming potential) refrigerants, are energy-intensive and environmentally unsustainable. In response to these challenges, there has been a growing focus on developing sustainable air conditioning technologies that are energy-efficient, …

    Evolution of Kinematic and Dynamic Design in Robotic Mechanisms: A Systematic Overview

    By Prashant Roy

    Abstract: The field of robotics has experienced significant advancements in both kinematic and dynamic design, driven by the growing need for precision, adaptability, and autonomy in mechanical systems. Early robotic mechanisms were predominantly rigid and operated based on simple serial architectures, offering limited degrees of freedom and relying heavily on analytical formulations for motion planning and control. Over time, the demand for greater dexterity and operational versatility led to the development …

    Conductive Polymers for Electro-Mechanical Systems: Structure–Property Relationships and Mechanical Behavior Under Stress

    By Prashant Roy

    Abstract: Conductive polymers represent a unique class of functional materials that combine the electrical characteristics of metals with the mechanical flexibility of polymers. These dual properties are critical for the next generation of electro-mechanical systems, including wearable sensors, soft robotics, structural health monitoring (SHM), and biomedical actuators. However, the mechanical performance of conductive polymers under diverse stress conditions—such as elongation, cyclic loading, bending, and impact—remains a key challenge, limiting their long-term …
