  1. IIT KanpurCampus ActivityMay 2009-2011 Nakul Gupta, Dr. Navid Hussain – Boeing India (2009-2010) Abhishek Mitra, Dr. Omprakash- Boeing India (2010-2011) Prof. Shantanu Bhattacharya – IIT Kanpur

  2. The Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) Organization • IITs are the premier group of 7 engineering and technology institutes established as Institutes of National Importance by the Government of India • 8 new IITs have recently been established • Each IIT is an autonomous university, linked to the others through a common IIT Council, which oversees their administration. • About 15,500 bachelors and 12,000 masters students study in the 7 IITs, in addition to research scholars VISITOR The President of India • Minister-in-charge • IIT Chairmen & Directors • UGC Chairman • DG CSIR • IISc Chairman & Director • 3 Members of Parliament • Ministry of Human Resources • Other Appointees IIT Council Board of Governors Director for each of the IITs Dept of Aerospace Engineering

  3. IIT Kanpur – key programs Note: In all disciplines mentioned, bachelors, masters and Ph D programs are offered

  4. IIT Kanpur Mission and Strategy Mission The Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur has a mission to achieve a high level of excellence in research as well as post-graduate education without sacrificing the leading position established by the institute in the field of undergraduate education. Strategy The institute commits to transform the complexion of the postgraduate education by enhancing research and presentation events by continuous funding through increased assistantships or research funding. The institute commits to improve the undergraduate education by making the curriculum for the students more flexible and research oriented so that they are able to feel motivated to acquire skills, learn principles and imbibe a spirit of innovation. The institute recognizes the sponsored research activity as an important and integral part of the academic activity. The focus areas for this program are classified as energy, materials, sensors, manufacturing, communication, computing and disaster mitigation. IIT-Kanpur during its evolution process from a UG-centric vision to a broader vision of research and education, it is necessary to consider the reorganization of different departments and clubbing departments into schools. IIT-Kanpur wishes to make its students N-dimensional. This includes bringing in new activities which would bring diversity in the already existing curriculum and extra curricular activities.

  5. 2009-2011 Goals / Actions Incentivize students and provide hands on exposure / awareness to choose Aerospace Engineering as a career goal through: • Scholarships based on Student design project/ Autonomous Vehicle Project initiated. • Technical event / information session sponsorship (Techkriti Funding done for 2009-10 and 2010-11) • Boeing Externship program (2009-10: 6 positions; 3 at Infotech Hyderabad and 3 at TCS Chennai) (2010-11: 6 Positions; All 6 at Infotech Hyderabad) • Post Graduate Research Funding (2010-2011: Peristaltic Micropumps)

  6. Student Design Program Boeing Autonomous Vehicle Project

  7. Body Engineering Phase 1 Structure Evolution 3 Stage packaging Good stability Turn in minimum space Basic Tracked structure Space problem Improved Light Tracks and structure Compact and light weight Front flippers ensured better performance in rough terrains Aesthetics improved

  8. Body Engineering Phase 2 6 wheeled drive with 2 DOF in each wheel Advantages Robust Suspension system capable of very rough terrains Problem Incapable of handling Abhyast weight requirements Reasons for structure change 1)Power consumption 2)Vibration 3)Speed Current Status 1) Simple 4 wheeled layered structure 2) Vibration and Power problems solved 3) Aesthetics to be improved Off the shelf Wild Thumper chassis

  9. ELECTRONICS • Hand Soldered Circuit Boards were replaced by much durable and reliable Printed Circuit Boards (PCBS) • No hanging wires • Aesthetically good • No loose connections New PCB Top View

  10. A Basic Architecture OBC (On Board Computer) USB Hub Microcontroller Unit (to drive motors) Compass Unit (direction sensing) GPS Unit (Global Positioning) Laser Scanner (obstacle avoidance and path planning) Motor Controllers

  11. Abhyast Navigation Phase 1 Obstacle avoidance with the help of Laser scanner GPS Navigation-GPS navigation tested independently IMU GPS integration tried to achieve self localization Major Problem-Compass unreliable due to high vibration Low cost IMU suffering with high noise Phase 2 Navigation Improvements Obstacle avoidance with directional navigation Improved time-complexity Major algorithm improvements to achieve reliable real time navigation

  12. SWARM Robots and Intercommunication Aim-To develop simple robots(Slave Robots) which can interact with Abhyast(Master) and carry out gas detection Based on the philosophy that desired collectively behaviour emerges from the interactions between the robots and interaction of robots with the environment 3 Robots-1 master 2 Slave Intercommunication, Slave localization and Gas detection achieved Components Slave architecture Gas sensors [Hanwei Electronics CO.,LTD] Wireless communication module Proximity sensors Optical Encoders

  13. Achievements from the Post Graduate Program A novel micro-pump design based on peristalsis with chambers in the shape of streamlines At frequency 3 hertz At P=10 psi 1. Experimental set up: 3.Simulation result: Showing moving particles in form of stream lines Fig 1: Schematic of the experimental set up Figure 3: Showing height difference (a) at t=0 (b) at t=15 sec. Figure 6: Showing Path lines with different velocity (performed on FLUENT 5) Figure 2: Schematic showing the (a) layer containing the micro-fluidic channel (30mm ×200µm ×100 µm ) (b) layer containing the air blister ‘s dimension (2 mm × 200µm ×100µm) (c) complete assembly of micropump Figure 4:Flow rate vs. frequency Figure 7: Optimized profile of microfluidic channel’s dimension (30mm length ×100 µm depth) 2. Flow rate calculation : Flow calculation is done based on height difference of fluid in polymer tubing in a certain time interval. 4. Actual Working set up 5. Movie: showing fluid movement in capillary(Hype link) Figure 5: Flow rate vs pressure
