Iit Madras is one of the most active research centers, while being an excellent education center in India if not the world. The Institute still collaborates with other institutions, companies, government or other organizations to make new developments in AI. With the creation of the Robert Bosch Center for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (RBC-DSAI) on February 6, 2019, it accelerated and opened the scope of research even more and extended the range of projects that are undertaken.
Below, highlight some of the latest projects undertaken by the well-known institution in India:
Drones to counter the thugs
A team supervised by Dr Ranjith Mohan, Ass. Prof, aerospace engineering department Designed a drone To counter the thugs. The drone can visually follow other drones, hack their GPS navigation system, force it to change its flight trajectory and make a safe landing. The Dr. Ranjith Mohan mentorship team designed a visual -based monitoring system using deep neural networks to secure air spaces and land stretches using a group of drones. Movement detection can also detect movement in the dark.
Fairkm
About three weeks ago, the Iit Madras team was part of an international research project led by Queen’s University Belfast Research in the United Kingdom. This project aims to do the AI faster And take into account the problem less discrimination in clustering algorithms. The equitable grouping techniques developed in the past have been able to prevent biases in a single attribute – the genre. However, the new efforts of this research team led them to achieve equity in many attributes. The fair clustering algorithm is appointed Fairkm, which guarantees equity in HR preselection, described Dr. Padmanabhan, researcher at Queen’s Belfast University and member of the Auxiliary Functional Party of Iit Madras.
Eye in the sky
A CFI team, Iit Madras, built a drone that is equipped with computer vision and technologies to identify precise and critical information on people trapped in affected areas in the event of a disaster and communicate the situation to the working group on statements. This project Makes itself unique because its analytical modules are based on the latest technology available with the team creating their own databases for some of the modules.
SWARM people and intelligence detection modules are entirely peak and are based on the management of past data disasters. This project won the University Challenge final of the Indian innovation growth program (IIGP 2.0) held at Iit Bombay.
Aisoft
A team of researchers from the Institute led by Vishal Nandigana, deputy professor, Fluid Systems Laboratory, Mechanical Engineering Department, Iit Madras has developed AisoftAn algorithm to solve engineering problems in various fields such as thermal management, semiconductors, automobiles, electronic cooling applications and aerospace. According to the researchers, this algorithm had been tested to solve thermal management problems.
The researchers used CNN or C-GAN to solve engineering problems, which opens the field for new research. The team believes that their AI stands out from the software available in trade, and they plan to establish an AI startup with this algorithm, which addresses the engineering problems that others are not.
Conversion of brain signals in English
Iit Madras researchers have developed AI technology to convert the Brain signals of the word of altered humans in understandable language. A team of researchers led by Dr Vishal Nandigana, Asst Prof, Fluid Systems Laboratory, a mechanical engineering department, said: “The result of production is the ionic current, which represents the flow of ions which are charged particles. The electrophysiological data of neurologists to obtain brain signals of humans against speech to find out what they are trying to communicate. »»
The team of researchers works on how these signals can be converted into human language. The research team has tested this concept by obtaining experimental electrical signals thanks to laboratory experiences. They had tried to obtain electrical signals from nanofluidic transport inside nanopores, these nanopores were filled with saline and mediated solution using an electric field.
Predicate the risks for pregnant women
The Iit Madras researchers’ team led by Balaram Ravindran and the NGO Armman uses AI to predict the risk that pregnant women abandon health care programs. The system will also improve targeted interventions and increase the positive results of health care for mothers and their babies. Google recently undertook this project.
Vernacular
The Iit Madras team led by Mitesh Khapra, Pratyush Kumar and AI4Bharat build open source entry tools for some of the not so known languages so well known to accelerate the publication of openly under license. This project, as well as risk prediction for pregnant women Six projects undertaken by Google recently.
