Our innovative SoC design for precision agriculture revolutionizes field management by deploying a robust mesh network of sensor-based devices, capable of detailed monitoring and swift response to variations in soil health, erosion, drought, and pest activities. This system not only ensures reliability through its mesh architecture—eliminating single points of failure—but also incorporates diverse sensors for comprehensive data acquisition. It's engineered for energy efficiency to sustain operation throughout an entire crop season, significantly optimizing resource use and reducing waste.

The aim of this project is to define a mixed signal subsystem for the nanosoc reference design. 

In order to interface with real-world signals in a digital SoC, an analog to digital conversion is needed. The mixed signal subsystem should be able to sample analog signals at a regular sampling rate, and transmit a digital representation of this signal to the rest of the nanosoc system. 

This project focuses on developing a plant growth monitoring system for space exploration missions using the ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller core. The projects aim to develop a SOC based on ARM M0 core for interactive plant monitoring by interfacing AHB lite, GPIO, timers, and communication protocols such as UART, I2C, SPI, and co-processors.  This project also proposes two co-processors for interactive plant monitoring and control. One AI co-processor for classification and prediction of plant and environmental data.

Nowadays, rotating machine is the power source for most production equipment and is widely used in manufacturing factories. Common rotating machinery mainly includes bearings, gears, shafts, and the others. However, rotating machines suffer from frequent collisions and vibrations which lead to wearing and aging, which increases the chance of failure in the overall system operation. This make the cost of factories increase and the quality of production deteriorate. Therefore, the industries gradually value the usage of accurate and efficiency predictive maintenance system.

This Project is to develop traffic light system that can reduce traffic congestion with the aid of counters for each lane and acts wisely with the intersection in real time based with a fixed time constrain, include both hardware and software requirements using SOC FPGA technology with fundamental specification for the Register Transfer Level (RTL).

Conventional healthcare is expensive and reliant on the physical presence of the patients. Continuous health monitoring tracks vital health parameters like heart rate, blood pressure, etc. While these work well in measuring the parameters, modern-day devices rely on the cloud to compute and interpret data. This results in an increase in data transfer between the device and the cloud, and if this connection breaks, there can be no interpretation of data. Hence, there is a need to shift the computation to the hardware, referred to as "Edge Computing".

The development of a Low-Cost and Low-Power Data Acquisition System(DAQs). The DAQs will be made up of end-terminal and a gateway. The end-terminal will be micro-controller-driven device built on a SoC FPGA technology with built-in capability for machine learning. The end-terminal will be able to transmit and receive data using the Low Power Wide Area Networking (LPWAN) communication protocol that functions on LoRA.LoRa is a wireless radio frequency technology that operates in a license-free radio frequency spectrum.

Advancements in electronics, wireless communications, and sensing technologies have made possible a multitude of smart sensing features in automotives. Integrating high-frequency sensors, digital signal processors and hardware accelerator engines on a single system on a chip (SoC) enhances sensing computation potential of radar sensors utilized in automotives.
