Empowering Innovation for Inclusivity !!! CBIT Student Develops Low-Cost Bionic Hand for the Differently-Abled !!! As the Principal of CBIT, I take great pride in commending our talented students for this impactful innovation that exemplifies the spirit of purpose-driven engineering and inclusive technology. Mr. Omair Maroof Ahmed, a third-year student from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, along with Mr. Mohammed Kaif Ur Rahman and Haroon Fazl Vajrala from Mechanical Engineering, has developed a low-cost bionic hand—a game-changing prosthetic arm designed to assist individuals with upper limb disabilities, especially those from underprivileged and rural backgrounds. Developed under the banner of Team Purple Ion, this prosthetic device utilizes Electromyographic (EMG) signals from muscle movements to control mechanical fingers—enabling essential hand functions with ease and independence. The innovation was awarded First Prize at the Pitchathon competition hosted by Presidency University, along with a ₹10,000 cash prize and R&D and incubation support from the Karnataka Startup Cell. Their vision doesn’t stop here. The team is already working on: 1.     Integrating machine learning for gesture-based control 2.     Enhancing personalization for users 3.     Exploring mass production for greater accessibility This initiative is a shining example of student-driven, socially relevant innovation—aligned with CBIT’s mission to empower society through transformative education and technology. Special appreciation to our dedicated faculty: 1.     Dr. M. Balasubba Reddy – Head, EEE. 2.     Dr. R. P. Chowdary – Head, Mech. Engg. 3.     Prof. P. Venkata Prasad – Controller of Examinations 4.     Dr. T. Sudhakar Babu – Associate Director-R&D 5.     Dr. T. Murali Krishna - Associate Director-IQAC

I am happy to share that Dr. Simran (joint degree student between IITD and NYCU) has published her research work in “Energy Storage Materials”. Here, we demonstrated long battery life of sodium-ion half-cells up to 2000 charge/discharge cycles (approximately 5.5 years considering 1 cycle per day) and that at 10 times faster rate (10 C) as compared to our usual mobile charger speed (1 C)…….. Also, performed in-depth analysis using operando/in-situ diffraction/microscopy measurements in Taiwan…….. the PDF file can be downloaded free next 50 days using the link below: https://lnkd.in/dJN925B4 Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of IndiaANRF-Mission for Advancement in High-impact Areas (MAHA) - EV-MissionAnusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF)Indian Institute of Technology, DelhiDepartment of Science & Technology, Government of India

𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞: Excited to share that I started working on my research project at ISAE-SUPAERO in association with Airbus OPERABILITY DIVISION, under the guidance of Prof. Joël Jézégou, DCAS and Sagar Shenoy MANIKAR, Airbus. I am also looking forward to collaborating with my teammate, Pratik Anand Badawadagi. The ambitious goal is to explore the link between sustainability and operability in aircraft design and operations. Calling Aviation Experts: I am open to any #thoughts and #advices, How Do We Truly Balance Sustainability & Operability? What are the parameters that connect both of them? Feel free to share or discuss these topics with me. Aircraft manufacturers have always prioritized operability, making aircraft efficient, reliable, and cost-effective for airlines. But with the growing push for sustainability, we now need to consider: Can we integrate both without compromising one for the other? 𝐀 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. 🔹 Integration: Designing systems that serve both operability and sustainability, such as advanced materials that reduce weight (improving fuel efficiency) while maintaining durability. 🔹 Energy Saving: Improving propulsion efficiency, optimizing flight operations, and reducing auxiliary power usage to enhance both operational costs and environmental impact. 🔹 Pollution Reduction: Exploring lower-emission fuels, electrification, and maintenance strategies that extend aircraft lifespan while minimizing waste and emissions. While these elements can help align operability and sustainability, there are also trade-offs. A more sustainable fuel, for example, might require operational adjustments or increased costs. Similarly, an energy-saving technology might improve efficiency but introduce maintenance complexities. This research aims to map out these relationships, find where sustainability and operability complement each other, and potentially develop a metric or framework to quantify the trade-offs. Would love to hear from those working in aircraft operations, sustainability, or aviation design, any insights or challenges you’ve seen in this space? Let’s discuss! #Aviation #Sustainability #AircraftDesign #Operability #EnergyEfficiency #Airbus #ISAE_Supaero
