Prof. Rupesh Kumar from the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering and his research cohort, Mr Venkata Naga Sai Kiran Damarla, Mr Prasannakumar Seelam, Ms V L S Tanmay P, and Mr Venkata Ramana Murthy Pondala (BTech ECE students), has published a patent titled “An Integrated Iot System for Sensing, Monitoring, and Geo-Information Storage of Sensor Data” with Application No: 202441065318 for their breakthrough research on developing an intelligent IoT system that can detect environmental changes.
Abstract
This research presents an integrated IoT system designed to monitor environmental conditions and store the corresponding data along with geo-information. The system autonomously collects data from its surroundings, processes it, and stores the information for future retrieval. The system is designed for use in remote monitoring applications where consistent tracking of environmental variables and location data is essential.
Explanation of the Research in Layperson’s Terms
The project aims to create a smart system that can sense changes in its environment—like temperature or humidity—and record those changes alongside its current location and time stamp. The collected data is stored so that it can be retrieved later for analysis, making the system useful in situations like monitoring climate conditions in farming or tracking environmental changes in various locations.
Practical Implementation/Social Implications of Research
The practical implementation of this system spans various fields such as agriculture, environmental management, and logistics. For example, in agriculture, the system can help farmers track environmental changes, allowing them to optimize crop management. Similarly, it can monitor environmental conditions in remote areas, ensuring timely interventions when necessary. The system could also aid in asset tracking, providing both environmental data and the location of critical resources. Its broader social impact lies in its ability to automate data collection, improve accuracy, and reduce human intervention in critical monitoring tasks.
Collaboration
This project was completed with the support and guidance of the Wireless Sensing & Imaging (WSI) Lab. The research team worked closely within the lab to develop the system, utilising the lab’s resources and expertise to achieve the research goals. There were no external collaborations involved in this project.
Prof. Rupesh and his team plan to explore radar design and focus on working with radar technology in their future research. By developing and integrating radar systems, the team aims to enhance IoT applications with advanced sensing capabilities, such as distance measurement, object detection, and environmental monitoring. Their goal is to contribute to more accurate and reliable solutions through the implementation of IoT Integrated Radar technology.
