Autonomous robot navigation in obstacles based environment
This article presents an on-line path planning algorithm for autonomous robot’s navigation system. Path planning is one of the most important topics in artificial intelligence and robotics navigation field. It can be used in many applications such as autonomous mobile robot navigation, network routing, video game artificial intelligence and gene sequencing. I propose an algorithm that enables the robot to plan an optimal path from an initial position to a specific goal with the free collision with obstacles and other moving robots. based on artificial intelligence techniques like A* to find an optimal path for each robot while cooperating with other robots. The optimality of the path can be measured using an objective function that considers the shortest distance, and/or the least time required. The information about the environment is known previously and obstacles are static.

Implementation of solar tracker using Arduino with servo motor
With the approaching scarcity of nonrenewable resources, people are considering using substitute sources of energy. From all other available resources, solar energy is the amplest and it’s comparatively easy to convert it to electrical energy. Use of solar panel to convert sun’s energy to electrical is very popular, but due to alteration of the Sun from east to west the fixed solar panel may not be able to generate ideal energy. The projected system resolves the problem by providing an arrangement for the solar panel to track the movement of the Sun. This paper is based on the use of stepper motor coupled with a solar panel track the Sun so that maximum sunlight is absorbed by the panel at a given instance of the day. This is an enhanced model as compared to fixed panel method that may not be so ecologically aware. Additionally, the code is written in C++ programming language and targeted to the Arduino UNO controller. The effectiveness of the system has been tested and compared with the stationary solar panel on several time intervals, and it shows the system respond the best at the 10-minutes intervals with the reliable voltage generated. Hence, the system has been known for catching the maximum sunlight source for high-efficiency solar street light applications.

To study the impact of innovations in education
The education system is witnessing a change from traditional talk and chalk method to newly invented concepts and culture. There are forces which shape the educational innovation; competition and options necessarily leading to innovations in the education system. This paper tries to outline the different types of innovations that could be made to education sector to make it more competitive and the challenges or hurdles that exist restrict to innovations. To make the education system a sustainable entity it needs to focus on areas which can add value to society. Innovation in the educational field represents the ideas changing the traditional culture into new and creative ones. This step has been taken in order to offer a large platform for academic and experts discussions to create knowledge and exchange of ideas.

A research on to detect theft in power system by the microcontroller
We know that electricity is need of life. Today electricity theft is one of the major problem faced by the government and electrical utilities. Because of some of the dishonest consumer's electricity theft is growing day by day. It causes a huge amount of money lost to the electrical utilities. To overcome this loss utilities increase the rate of electricity. This paper introduces a system which is able to detect electricity theft in power system and inform to the monitoring system. The operator is also able to cut off the region or consumer from the distribution system without getting to the region or consumer.

A study on the influence of socio-economic factors on knowledge and technology adoption of sericulture farmers of Aizawl district of Mizoram
Sericulture has been playing a vital role in developing the economic condition of the poor farmers of Mizoram. It has been a sustainable livelihood for last three decades. The recent new and improved sericulture technologies and their adoption at farmers’ level has increased the quantity and quality of raw silk production to a new height. However, the productivity of raw silk in Kg per hectare of the State and productivity of raw silk at national levels still very wide. There is also a wide gap between present production and potential production. Hence, the present study is aimed to know the influence of socio-economic factors such as farmers’ education, experience, age, extension participation, extension contact on knowledge and adoption of improved sericultural technologies among three sericultural villages of Aizawl District of Mizoram. The study revealed that education, experience, farm size and extension contact have a positive relationship with knowledge and adoption level, leading to significant increase in cocoon yield and productivity. Hence, the findings of the study concluded that for the dissemination of new technologies, farmers’ socio-economic conditions and factors must also be considered for successful and effective adoption.

Manual analysis of VILLA and Comparison of result with STADD-PRO analysis
Structural designing is the primary aspect of civil engineering. The foremost basic in Structural designing is the design of simple basic components and members of building Like beams, columns, and footings in order to design them it is important to first obtain The plan of a particular building.There by depending on the suitability plan layout of beams and columns are fixed. Once the loads are obtained the component takes the load first is slab so the first slab is designed. designing of slabs depends upon whether it is a one way or a two-way slab the end conditions and loading .from the slab the load gets transferred to beam.The loads coming from the slabs onto the beam may be trapezoidal or triangular. Depending on this the beam may be designed. Thereafter loads (mainly shear) from the beams are taken by the columns. for designing columns it is necessary to know the moments they are subjected to. For this purpose frame analysis is done by Kane’s method. After this, the designing of columns is taken up depending on end conditions moments, eccentricity. Finally, footings are designed based on the loading from the column and also soil bearing capacity value for that particular area.
