[br]Steve Jobs once said if you put faith in people and give them the right tools, they do wonderful things![br][br]Now, this is exactly what IITians are doing with their technical know-how and expertise.[br][br]They have developed products/technologies that are not just solving current problems of society but also building a better future for India.[br][br]Here are some of their amazing innovations.[br][br]SmartCane for the blind[br][br]A number of Indians suffer from visual impairment and use canes to avoid obstacles like potholes.[br][br]However, a regular cane cannot help with the detection of aerial/overhanging obstacles like a branch or open window.[br][br]This is why IIT-D researchers developed a cane enhancement that uses ultrasonic range to detect objects from knee to head height and delivers distinct vibratory patterns to alert a person.[br][br][br]AI-powered system to catch bikers without helmet[br][br]Helmets are clunky but there's no denying they are critical for the safety of both bikers and pillions.[br][br]Keeping this need in mind, researchers from IIT-Hyderabad have developed an AI-powered system that helps with the detection of people riding without helmets.[br][br]The fully automated system works in real-time with CCTV cameras and allows police officers to connect offenders with RTO database to generate challans.[br][br][br]Tech to convert agro-waste into paper, plates, cups[br][br]The burning of agro-waste is the major reason behind air pollution in the National Capital Region.[br][br]Most farmers resort to this as they are few affordable options to manage crop residue.[br][br]However, to solve this problem, IIT-D researchers have built an eco-friendly processing system that works on a small scale and converts agro waste into pulp which can be used to make plates/cups.[br][br][br]Ecofrost: Solar-powered storage facility for farmers[br][br]Farmers' seasonal harvest is often affected by the lack of proper storage facilities.[br][br]However, with Ecofrost, IIT Kharagpur alumni have given an automatically adjusting, portable facility for preserving the produce for up to 21 days.[br][br]The facility works with a smartphone app, which farmers can use to select the product they want to store, therefore allowing the app to adjust temperatures accordingly.[br][br]Dirt detector to keep your surroundings clean[br][br]Keeping up with the Swachh Bharat initiative, IIT Kharagpur engineers have built a dirt detector, a low-cost system that can send alerts if public places are not clean.[br][br]The smart hygiene monitor uses sensors to record levels of ammonia, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and CO2 at a specific place.[br][br]Then, if the levels go beyond a particular threshold, it sends instant 'cleaning-alerts' to stakeholders.[br][br][br]Intelligent street lights from IIT-Madras[br][br]As Chennai wastes over 300 megawatts of energy on street lighting every year (spending over Rs. 50 crore), students from IIT Madras have built a smart lighting system which delivers peak brightness on the road on detecting vehicle movement, else stays dim by about 30%.[br][br][br][br][br]#Infinix_Indi....[br]
