Sailing to the Moon in Search of Water is a game changer for manned and unmanned missions to moon and beyond. Water is a critical substance for life and propellant. Currently we do not understand the sub-surface of the moon.
Future in-space operations — across LEO (Low Earth Orbit), lunar missions, and out to Mars — will heavily leverage robotics and autonomy to improve systems performance, reduce risk to human crews, and contribute to novel mission capabilities. Robots have long been used for remote operations,
Crest Robotics' Robotic Puller is a new product for the energy sector designed to assist linemen and riggers with maintaining and upgrading our energy infrastructure. As an evolution on an existing product known as a 'traction motor,' our puller is lighter, stronger, more efficient, and more intelligent,
It is a family of machines based on a 2012 patent that was developed for the elimination of 99.9% of viruses and bacteria found in supermarket trolleys.
My idea is for a new military service sidearm. The US Army will be converting over to the more powerful XM7 rifle for combat use. This gun has higher bullet energy to deal with body armor. For support troops, the current M16 rifle and 9mm handgun will be retained.
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
The reliability and efficiency of power distribution networks can be increased in a unique way by employing the Internet of Things (IoT) to identify defects in subterranean cables. This system's sensors are arranged so they can continuously monitor important parameters like temperature, voltage, current, and insulating resistance.
Integrated sensors: Monitors soil moisture, nutrients, light, temperature, and pH.
Real-time data processing: Microcontroller analyzes sensor information.
User interface: Smartphone app for detailed data and LED indicators on pot for quick checks.
AI-powered learning: Adapts care recommendations based on plant responses.
In response to the increasing demand for integrated and precise medical diagnostic tools, we introduce an innovative mobile application for the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis, pancreatitis, and ischemic heart disease. Despite existing applications that focus on a single disease,
The RFID and SIM800L GSM-based attendance system using Arduino and DS3231 RTC module is an advanced solution for efficient and reliable attendance management. This innovative system utilizes RFID technology for user identification, providing a quick and contactless method for logging attendance. The system incorporates the Arduino Nano microcontroller,
