Here are the list of research projects of our lab

Description: Power Transmission Line (PTL) systems require routine inspections for early damage detection and maintenance to transmit high-voltage electric power efficiently and continuously. Previously, these inspections have been performed using line crawling, inspection robots, and a helicopter. However, these conventional solutions are sluggish, expensive, and risky. The recent development of drones, high-resolution cameras, single board computers (SBC), and deep learning technology enables PTL inspection using drones. In this research, we develop a power transmission line inspection system using autonomous drone and deep learning.

Description: The rising cost and demand for energy have prompted numerous organizations to seek innovative methods of monitoring, controlling, and conserving energy. An intelligent Energy Management System (EMS) may assist in reducing costs while still meeting energy demand. Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data are emerging technologies that can be utilized to better manage energy consumption in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. In this research, we explore the utilization of IoT, Big Data, and Deep Learning to create smart home energy management systems. 

Description: Big data and Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems can be incredibly valuable in health monitoring, as they can help to gather, store, analyze, and visualize large amounts of health-related data in real time. A big data system for health monitoring should be able to scale up to handle large volumes of data, ensure data security and privacy, and provide real-time processing and analytics. In this research, we develop the edge computing device for real-time analysis and early diagnosis of diseases and health problem using machine/deep learning
