A team of researchers under Prof. Braj Bhushan & Prof. Shatarupa Thakurta Roy @IITKanpur & Dr Alok Bajpai have developed an assistive application to help children with learning & writing disabilities commonly known as #Dyslexia & #Dysgraphia. vimeo.com/739177083
According to the data available, India has a large number of children with undiagnosed Dyslexia and Dysgraphia, which hampers the development and learning of the children. @EduMinOfIndia@dpradhanbjp@MoHFW_INDIA
The team of experts have developed this novel assistive application by acknowledging the need for additional support for such special children. @PBNS_India@DDNewslive@PTI_News@MIB_India
It provides a training module currently available in #Hindi (other Indian languages will be added soon) for school-going special children between classes 1 to 5. @PIBHRD@AkashvaniAIR
The application is a touchscreen based interface that involves auditory feedback, haptic sensation & motor movement to facilitate acquiring and reproducing Hindi letters.
My heartiest congratulations to Prof Braj Bhushan, Prof Shatarupa Thakurta Roy & Dr Alok Bajpai for this work

#GATE2023 will be a computer-based test (CBT). It will be conducted in twenty-nine subject areas with the choice of selecting two papers in some subjects.
Today, the medical robots have prohibitively high cost due to the deployment of numerous servo-motors for their operation. These motors also increase the size and weight of the robots significantly.
In order to reduce the cost, size & weight of the robots, Prof Bishakh Bhattacharya & his team has taken inspiration from human muscle structure and developed a new artificial muscle system using wires with memory which can generate at least three times more force per unit weight
The overall weight is also reduced to the one third of the original weight. This human like muscle system has the additional advantage of non-magnetic nature so that they can be used in MRI, CT Scanners and various surgical functions.
Inventors from @IITKanpur and @MIT have been granted a joint Indian patent for a unique #water purification device, “A Vessel and A Method for Purifying Water and Monitoring Quality of Water”. #cleanwater
An inexpensive, zero maintenance,easy to manufacture, dry & compact device that has applications in #waterpurification & monitoring and dry sample preservation of micro #water pollutants. This device can purify #drinkingwater & has applications in the food & beverage industry.
I congratulate the team led by Prof Indra Sekhar Sen, IITK alumnus Mr Sri Harsha, Dr Emily Barrett Hanhauser (Fellow, MIT Tata Centre), Prof Rohit N. Karnik (Dept of Mechanical Engineering; Associate Department Head for Education; Tata Professor, @MIT, USA) @KritsnamTech
Here is big news from @IITKanpur

1. ITU defined the requirements of IMT 2020- official ITU name of 5G. Rural enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) configuration focused on intersite distance of 1.7 Km & 120/500 km/hour speed of vehicles - a speed unthinkable in rural India😀. A requirement unsuitable for #India.
2. #TSDSI's Low Mobility Large Cell (LMLC) focuses on low speeds such as 3/30 Km/hour for pedestrian and vehicles and intersite distance of 6 Km to address Indian scenario. . @TSDSI_India@DoT_India@GoI_MeitY@TRAI
