Item Human posture rectification using accelerometer(UMT Lahore, 2020) Shaheer Abdullah; Muhammad ZeeshanAccelerometers can be used for acceleration measurements (dynamic as well as static), tilt sensing, angle measurements etc. So, we can use an accelerometer to recognize human posture and give feedback to improve the posture. We collected data from multiple subjects in different environments to understand variations in the accelerometer readings. Using the collected data, we used statistical approaches to identify correct postures. Our prototype consisted of an accelerometer, a micro-controller, a SD card module, a real-time clock and a power bank. This device can be held inside a belt, which holds the prototype to identify the variations in posture and then the information from the data can be used to provide feedback accordingly.Item Automated mini conveyor belt using PLC(UMT Lahore, 2020) Omar Shahid; Abdur Rehman; Umar YounasIn most industrial systems, there is a need for filtration. Sorting can be done using a variety of methods depending on size, color, weight, use of machine vision (image processing), material and more. For example, in a thermal power station, an electromagnetic filtering process is used to filter ferromagnetic materials into coal. This project contains materials such as PLC, conveyors, color sensors, electronic system and motors. The aim of this project is to introduce the Programmable Logic Control (PLC) and the Ladder logic programming based control system used in the color filter. Items are sorted by color. The main transmission is supported by two branches to load the key to that as it is separated electronically and accepted by proximity sensors. In this project HMI [1] provides a convenient place to build easy communication between people and equipment.Item IOT based smart grid(UMT Lahore, 2020-09-05) Fawad Akbar; Wasif Ahsan; Ahmed BilalSmart grid is a better management system which monitors load in real time to keep balance between supply and demand. Now IOT plays an important role in smart grids for better management and tracking of consumption in real time, and it also provides better communication between smart devices like AMI (advance metering infrastructure) and smart appliances etc. Smart grid also provides two-way communication between user and provider end to avoid any kind of theft of electricity and provides integrity billing system etc. So, this paper shows IOT based smart grid which have multiple subunits: Theft detection, real time billing, net metering technique and wireless communication between Distributer and consumer for better tracking of load, consumption and any kind of electricity theft and line losses. This paper shows theft detection which resolves the line tapping issues, which is a major issue in theft of electricity. In addition to theft detection, it also provides real time billing system for integrity of billing system.

Brain electric charge travels among neurons to transfer information. Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electrode which can be placed over the body skull to measure the electrical activity of the brain. These transmit electrical signals which trigger activity in cells. So, we are aiming to control bionic arm by fetching these electric signals. Interpretation of signals detected from human brain could allow us for many interesting applications including movement of prosthetic limb and more man-machine interactions. The signals generated from the brain changes with the thought, we can collect the signals, classify them and implements these waves to control the objects. To obtain EEG waves we used an EEG headset that gets the inputs of the brain waves through different channels. These signals will pass through different filters and give digital signals. The reason we choose this project is to help the paralyze people by giving them a bionic arm which can be control easily through brain signals.Item Industrial heavy duty carrier robot(UMT Lahore, 2020-09) Fareed Ullah; Faisal RahimOver the last 50 years, modern robotic technology has established itself deeply within every industry, from manufacturing to healthcare, to transport and security, with robots carrying out many human tasks with unrivalled precision.

Still there has been no development on small scale wind power generation. Our project is a self-adjusting micro wind turbine. We powered a real wind turbine with artificially generated wind. Our generator generates 24V AC at rated speed of 600 rpm. That output is converted to DC using a rectifier. This DC voltage is dependent on the wind speed. As the wind speed increases our voltages increase and if wind speed decreases our voltages also decrease. This DC output is connected to battery and the battery requires a stable DC voltage. The wind speed is also a variable value since this is a natural phenomenon and we have no control over it. To stabilize this DC voltage, we used a boost converter which boost our voltages to 26V DC and give out a stable voltage. Our input voltages are between 6-30V. Now using this 26V DC we charge our batteries. After that we use an inverter and a transformer to get 220VAC on which we run our load.Item Weed detection in crops using aerial vehicle and machine learning technique(UMT Lahore, 2020-09) Muhammad Bilal Hassan; Ehtisham Ahmed; Yahya ImranAgricultural technologies could increase crop yields. Agriculture is the largest sector, covering 47.03 percent of land area of Pakistan and almost 45 percent of workforce engaged with this sector. Improper management, use of old techniques and technology leads to decrease in yield. Weeds are unwanted plants that grow among the crops and fights for the same light, soil that is available for crops. Weeds growth among crops has great impact on yield. Proper monitoring and management of crops will help in improving crop productivity and efficient use of resources. The AI weed detecting drone is designed to be used for proper monitoring of weeds growth among the sesame crops, which will help in improving sesame crops health.
