A Review on Magnetorheological Fluids and its Stabilization Techniques
Abstract: AbstractMagnetorheological fluids are fluids which can alter its physical and rheological properties in response to an external magnetic field. They find many applications in shock absorbers, semi-active dampers, clutches, brakes, haptic actuators and devices. The rheological properties of these fluids can be altered using additives in the fluid composition and hence, the limitations due to settling tendency can be reduced to an extent. Hence, a detailed study on stabilization of …

Rough Terrain Robot (R-HEX)
Abstract: The RHex Robot, a power autonomous, untethered, compliant-legged hexapod robot. RHex is based on a Hexapod Robot. RHex has only six actuators one motor located at each hip achieving mechanical simplicity that promotes reliable and robust operation in real-world tasks. The legs rotate full circle, thereby preventing the common problem of toe stubbing in the protraction (swing) phase. An extensive suite of experimental results documents the robot’s significant “intrinsic mobility” …

Machine Learning Based Smart Aquaponics Farming System
Abstract: For many years, researchers have been studying nutrient management in aquaponic systems. Most have concentrated on adequate nutrition control in an aquaponic setup, but there has been relatively little study on commercial scale applications. For plant growth, it is necessary to measure the level of nutrients present in the soil mixture. In our model, the input data was sourced on some interval of time basis from three commercial aquaponic farms. …
