McGowan, Abigail. "Convict Carpets: Jails and the Revival of Historic Carpet Design in Colonial India." Journal of Asian Studies 72, no. 2 (May 2013): 391–416. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0021911813000028.

Abstract:
One promising traditional industry slated for revival in late colonial India was carpet weaving. Characterized by low technology, high product value, and strong demand, carpets appealed for obvious economic reasons, while simultaneously evoking India's luxurious artisanal past. In western India, carpet weaving was centered in jails where convicts produced high-quality rugs using historic designs in prison factories that served as laboratories for redefining penal labor and traditional design under the eyes of the colonial state. For, even as they were poised at the center of new exchange networks of design ideas, jail factories also claimed practical economic goals: to earn money for jails, train convicts in new skills and habits, and build India's productive potential in a time of economic malaise. As such, they provide an ideal site for examining the economic context for the emerging design industry, and for limitations of colonial visions of the Indian economy.

Abstract:
This paper is directed first at identifying where and by whom military influences or topics manifested themselves in the periodical pressʼns coverage of India in the period up to the Indian Rebellion. How such manifestations changed over time, as well as the convergence of Anglo-Indian and British newspapers and magazines on Indian topics, will form an important component of this study. Stemming from these initial enquiries, I will further suggest that the model often employed to comprehend such representations —namely ‘orientalism’ —is, as it is often configured, too simplistic and reductionist to account for all the forces at work in the production of images of India. Instead, the mid-Victorian image of India was produced by a very fractured discourse. Racial stereotypes and affirmations of British superiority were certainly to the forefront, but these were frequently inflected by quite separate agendaʼns, such as the military's pursuit of political and professional status and influence, publishers’ search for profits, and the quest for suitable middle-class role models. Moreover, it was a discourse constrained by the dominant contemporary literary conventions and tropes, notably the historical romance in fiction and didacticism in history and biography. Yet there is one strand that runs through these various agendas and literary strategies and that is the one provided by the Indian army. India was by the third decade of the nineteenth-century as much a military as it was a commercial site. In 1850, the then reigning governor-general, Lord Dalhousie, was reminded by John Lawrence of this fact when the latter insisted that ‘public opinion is essentially military in India. Military views, feelings and interests are therefore paramount’.

Abstract:
The development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), as part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), is one of the causes of worsening Sino-Indian relations in recent years. The Economic Corridor runs through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, which India has claimed as its territory for decades. India sees thie Project as a violation of its sovereignty, but China defends the Project, saying that it is purely an economic connectivity project without strategic purposes. Seeing the possible worsening relations, India initiated to invite Xi Jinping for an Informal Summit with Narendra Modi. With a longstanding historical relationship with China, and his personal style diplomacy, Modi manages to fix some misconception with Xi Jinping on several issues. While trying to fix Sino-Indian relations, Narendra Modi is at the same time still firm on its opposition towards the Project. The authors observe that Narendra Modi’s personality plays a big role in India’s response towards China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Modi’s strong and assertive personality, coupled with his Hindu-nationalist belief, explained the Indian decision to firmly opposing the CPEC. On the other hand, the footprints of Modi’s charisma, personal-style diplomacy, and his longstanding relationship with China, are visible in the Wuhan Summit, in which Modi became the spearhead of diplomacy.

Abstract:
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the concept of defining the responsibilities of the business and engaging them to perform their social duties. CSR is a not an Indian concept but a global one. World’s Richest man, Bill Gates, is also a great philanthropist who and his wife jointly run, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Richest family of India, Reliance, runs Reliance Foundation whose chairperson is Mrs. Neeta M Ambani. This spirit is to be ignited in all the business houses and companies of India and for this in 2014 Government of India passed the law to include CSR as a compulsory contribution made by the eligible companies, as defined in section 135 of Companies Act 2013. The paper studies the evolution and development of CSR in India in its present form.

Abstract:
India has experienced significant economic growth since the 1990s. Young middle-class Indian nationals have embraced international tertiary and vocational education as a part of this trend. Many of these students have come to Australia to study. In 2009, claims that Indian students in Australia were being targeted for racial violence received worldwide media attention. This article presents the results of a qualitative study of public documents surrounding the ‘violence against Indian students’ issue over a 12-month period. It contends that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that some of the victimisation had a racial or anti-Indian element to it. Drawing upon literature on racism, it reveals a discourse of denial that runs through the responses of Australia’s political leaders to this claim. In the current global environment, however, exposure of Australia’s denial by the Indian media may operate as a form of counter-discourse from an emerging superpower whose citizens refuse to tolerate the failure of western nations to take responsibility for the injustice of racial violence.

Abstract:
Bourdieu says that the individual’s education and skills are the cultural capital and believe it as the modality for the individuals in the upper classes to dominate and alienate the individuals of the lower rungs in the class hierarchy. His concept is important here to understand how beauty power discourse as cultural capital is used for oppressing Indian women though he thought that this particular power discourse cannot be applied to countries like India. And, this article analyses the limitations in the application of his definition of the concept ‘cultural capital’ to the Indian state and the established connection of body image and skin tone to the ideology of power and status, and how it has become a need for Indian women to achieve those desirable attributes of beauty to enable them to be celebrated and to wield cultural and economic power in their field.

Abstract:
This article is an analysis of the political thought of Bhimrao Ambedkar, anti-caste activist, author of the Indian constitution and first law minister of independent India. His personal writings are analyzed, and the origins of his ideas are situated within larger contexts- both national and international. He was representative of the increased radicalism of the Indian nationalist movement in the 1920s and 30s, but he stood apart from the mainstream of the movement on key issues. Above all, the most formative influence on his political philosophy was the fact that his experience of interwar India was mediated through his position at the lower rungs of the caste hierarchy. He brought his unique perspective to bear on some of the most pressing topics that radical nationalists were debating in the interwar period: communism and political economy, defining nationhood, and the caste system. A discussion of Ambedkar’s views on these three key subjects forms the analytical basis of this article, with an eye towards the continued relevance of his thought.

Full text
Abstract:
The article investigates the relationship between economic growth and defence expenditure in India from 1970–1971 to 2015–2016. By using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag and Toda-Yamamoto Granger Causality approach, the empirical results find that defence expenditure has a positive and significant impact on economic growth in India. The study also finds that capital defence expenditure has a positive and significant effect on economic growth, while revenue defence expenditure does not have any substantial influence on it. The causality test confirms a bidirectional causality between defence expenditure and economic growth, while it finds a unidirectional causality that runs from capital defence expenditure to economic growth. The study suggests that defence spending, especially capital defence spending, should be encouraged to enhance economic growth in the Indian economy. JEL Classification: H56, O40, C32

Abstract:
Can strikes by resident doctors training to become consultants in Indian public-sector teaching hospitals be ethical? These hospitals were established for the medical care of the very poor in a country where health insurance and a national health service are nonexistent. In such a situation, the paralysis of tertiary healthcare centers by striking doctors runs contrary to the raison d'être of the profession. It also violates the first dictum of medicine: Primum, non nocere. And although there is some discussion in the Western literature on strikes by doctors, authorities in India are silent on the subject.

Abstract:
AbstractSince 6 BC, when the first university of the world was established in Takshila in India, higher education in India has been integrating advanced knowledge and skills with larger social concerns. Apart from teaching and research, a prime concern of universities is to engage with the community and to contribute towards the development of society. Much emphasis is placed on the values of education by complementing curricular instruction for shaping future generations and enabling active engagement with society. The emphasis has been on holistic development of the student leading to complete realization and liberalization of oneself. To quote Swami Vivekananda, a well-known Indian scholar, “Education is not the amount of information that we put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested, all your life. We must have life-building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas. If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library. If education is identical with information, the libraries are the greatest sages of the world and encyclopaedia are the greatest Rishis”.

Abstract:
This chapter assesses whether and how India is developing into a rising power in the Persian Gulf. Dionysis Markakis approaches India’s reconnection with the region in terms of ‘middle power theory’ and disaggregates the dominant economic, sociocultural, and military drivers of Indian policies in the Persian Gulf. Markakis suggests that India is still attempting to carve out its niche in the international system and that multiple factors lie behind its reticence to engage proactively in regional and world affairs. These include the strong element of multilateral alignment that runs through Indian foreign policy as well as domestic institutional weaknesses within the structure of Indian government itself. For Markakis, a primary challenge for Indian policymakers is how to outline a more proactive, rather than reactive, approach to foreign policy and the conception and exercise of power.

Abstract:
The complexity of the causes of mutinies are captured in this chapter that focuses upon the role of ethnicity. Starting with the British West India Regiment in 1801, we examine the importance of the slave trade in supporting the recruitment to the British Army in the West Indies and consider how the ‘alternatives’ of slavery or forced recruitment are not regarded as alternatives by many ex-slaves. The chapter then moves on to the largest event to rock the early British Empire, the ‘mutiny’ or ‘1st War of Independence’ in India between 1857 and 1858. The nomenclature is a signal of the meaning of the events for different actors involved, and this ambiguity runs into the Curragh ‘Incident’ that has all the hallmarks of a mutiny, except it is staged by the military establishment not by the military subordinates. And if the British thought 1858 was the last time they would see Indian soldiers or sailors mutinying against them, they were wrong: in Singapore in 1915 and then in the Royal India Navy in 1946, the British Empire is forced to look at itself—but chooses not to. Finally, we consider the way British Foreign Labour Battalions were treated in France, compared to the treatment meted out to domestic units, and then consider the role of racism in the Port Chicago mutiny of 1944 which has echoes of the contemporary situation in the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020.

Abstract:
The Indian practice of the caste system creates a repressive stratification in the subcontinent. Hinduism refers to a variety of theologies, mythologies, cultic practices and philosophies spread across India. The exclusion of outcastes is ordained, pursued and perpetuated by dominant religio-political and socio-cultural forces, often with violent consequences. While the constitution prohibits any discrimination on grounds of caste, the social practice of caste identity continues to be relevant across the country. Because the caste system is the product of a religious worldview, it is through religious rituals that caste discrimination and prejudices are manifested. Mission organisations agreed to work within specific caste communities in order to avoid conflict. The caste-based segregation masquerading as denominationalism runs so deep within the churches in India that there are congregations who do not share the Eucharist. Only 12 out of 241 bishops are from a Dalit background, whereas Dalits make up more than 65% of the membership of Catholic congregations. Dalit groups have had to mobilise to counter the unfair advantages enjoyed by higher-caste groups. The caste system has become a potent political tool within Indian society and its relevance in shaping socio-cultural moorings have not diminished.

Abstract:
Deposit insurance is intended for providing security to depositors from the standpoint of averting bank runs. It is crucial for nations to examine their institutional environment, banking structure, and regulatory framework before insuring deposits in the interest of maintaining market discipline. In the case of India, while Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) has been contributing appreciably to the stability of Indian banking system by safeguarding depositors against possible loss of their entitled deposits with insured banks, the system is based on “paybox” mandate and affords limited conditional protection to depositors. Guided by the need for a stronger resolution mechanism, the Indian government introduced the Financial Resolution and Deposit Insurance (FRDI) Bill in August 2017, which had its own share of controversies, conceivably the most confounded provisions being the bail-in clause and omission of explicit declaration of maximum coverage. The economic and political pressures, however, led to the dropping of the Bill in July 2018, thus creating further vacuum in an already underprovided deposit protection.

Abstract:
Independent filmmakers have crafted non-standard methods and artistic vocabularies to realise a form of “independence” that frequently runs counter to commodity relations which position cultural production in terms of consumption and cultural producers as industry professionals. I argue that as a practice, independent Indian documentary has developed an artisanal mode of production that is deprofessionalised in contrast to the focus on professional specialisation and standardisation of creative processes in industrial modes of media production. This is a critical feature as it permits a radical re-imagination of documentary as signifying practice existing in the everyday that produces a system of references to interpret social process and actors, dismissed by mainstream media representation.

Abstract:
Value chain practices focus on market orientation of products and services. Products and services highly rely on processes included in the supply chain in order to contribute to the value chain. Globalization, competition, and high cost of production influence the value chain imperatives. Thus, organizations involved in the value chain are challenged with creation of innovative designs and establishing lean production scenarios. This challenge is more serious in the cases of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The rugs industry in India is one example of such market behavior, and various SMEs are involved in this sector. Besides, the sector demands market orientation and customer retention for which continuous innovative practices are essential. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have played a crucial role in supporting these SMEs in India in rolling out innovative designs through customer engagements in the entire production life cycle. There are also efforts to use ICT as a tool to innovate processes, products, and services to harness better returns on investment and to sustain business. In this case, Jaipur Rugs Company (JRC) strives to manage innovation cycles to ensure development oriented value chain for the weavers and ICT applications have been intrinsic to realize these efforts.

Abstract:
Discrimination has been a central category in understanding inequality and exclusion in most societies. But exclusions vary in their scope and also in the specific socio-political ideologies underlying them. India has been on the whole more aware of discrimination than other countries but this awareness is for the most part restricted to caste based discrimination. It does not extend to recognition of discrimination against other groups, especially religious minorities even though there are significant differences in key outcomes between various social groups differentiated by religion and caste. It is important to recognize that religious identity remains an important axis of discrimination in India and today even more than before. Resentment and prejudice against minorities, particularly Muslims is common in India, as indeed in many developed and developing countries, but we have simply not acknowledged the sheer existence and scale of prejudice and discrimination. Hence, there has been little public debate or empirical analysis to establish the presence of discrimination against Muslims and/or identify its sources. Here’s the crucial point. The exclusion and discrimination of Muslims is not episodic: it is both everyday and institutional. It runs across all sectors and runs so deep that it appears normal to most people who perhaps don’t notice it or are unaware of it. This paper seeks to analyses social discrimination against Muslims and its manifestations. It has two main objectives. The first objective is to examine the concept and relevance of institutional discrimination with regard to the experience of Muslims in India, and to argue that the fight against institutional discrimination involves not only ideological/pedagogical struggle but also practical policy and legal measures to eradicate it. The second objective is to understand to what extent the ideology of majoritarianism has an influence on public institutions by delving deeper into the institutional bias of public policies and institutions. This is examined through two issues: the claims for Scheduled Caste status by Dalit Muslims and the recent decision of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) to investigate complaints of Hindu exodus from a town in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. At the theoretical level, the paper examines the viability and implications of excluding religious minorities from the discourse of development and policy making in the context of the buildup of a new axis of majoritarian politics and the wider social and political context in which religion and religious communities have come to dominate public discourse in India, and yet governments disallow any policy that could ameliorate the socio-economic neglect of religious minorities.

Abstract:
This paper highlights the design challenges encountered during the project execution phase of HMPL’s Mundra - Bathinda Pipeline (MBPL), a crude import pipeline for feeding Guru Gobind Singh Refinery of HMEL at Bathinda in Punjab State. For the first time in India, a cross-country pipeline was planned through a terrain wherein section of more than 270 km length runs through the eastern fringe of Thar desert in the state of Rajasthan. MBPL routed in newer and exotic expanse of Great Indian Thar desert posed greater challenges in respect of pipeline routing, design and construction. The pipeline route across the bygone desert is characterized by severe climate and remote locations. The summer daytime temperature reaches upto 50 deg C while in winter it drops to near freezing temperature. Sand dunes at some places along the route were more than 40 m high and were of different kinds and separated by inter-dunal sandy plains of varying stretches.

Abstract:
When a single source based crude oil feeder ‘difficult-to-pig’ pipeline runs through a highly sensitive marine national park, the Operator is challenged with the dilemma of how to assure the integrity of the pipeline with the limited options that are available. After ten (10) years of service, in 2015, an Indian Operator chose to assess the time dependent threat of internal corrosion on their difficult-to-pig offshore (SPM) to onshore (Tank Farm) crude oil pipeline by utilizing the NACE SP0208-2008 Standard for Liquid-Petroleum Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (ICDA). This methodology was already recommended by ASME B31.8S as one (1) of the three (3) options for assessing integrity of a pipeline. Only a year earlier, in 2014 – the Indian regulators, Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) had also brought the technique of ICDA within its regulatory framework for Operators as a credible option to assess integrity of pipelines that are difficult to pig and/or un-piggable. This paper discusses on the findings of the ICDA program that forced the Operator to accelerate their integrity program for the subject pipeline and perform specialised In-line Inspection (ILI) in 2018. The paper also compares the results obtained from the non-intrusive predictive based ICDA program Vs. the ILI measured data. This paper will be useful for Operators to understand the complementary nature of ICDA with ILI and provide guidance on how combination of these two (2) pipeline integrity tools not only identify the locations at which internal corrosion activity has already occurred but also answers the questions on why it occurred and how would it be mitigated? The Operator managed to assure the integrity of their “difficult-to-pig” pipeline by timely utilisation of the integrity validation tools of ICDA and ILI. By doing this they were able to prevent the occurrence of any catastrophe that may result in an environmental, and subsequently an economic disaster.

Abstract:
Diagnosis, isolation and corrective action of incipient faults in a developmental Aero Gas Turbine Engine, mandates advanced warning of the emerging faults by apt and timely degradation monitoring in order to mitigate catastrophic failure. This calls for cautious performance monitoring during the test runs by instrumenting the engine under test with multiple sensors to acquire the physical parameters like temperature, pressure, flow and speed which are indicative of the engine degradation. Sensor reliability is critical to engine control and performance monitoring. Sensor data which serves as the primary key for assessing the engine behaviour needs to be validated before its use in determining the degradation. Particularly in a developmental engine under test, the accuracy and reliability of measurements creates the basis for understanding the engine behaviour, in order to evaluate its performance. This paper targets to develop validation tool to ensure that only trusted sensor measurements are used for engine performance computation by weeding out the erroneous data. The pre-processing of data to ensure its accuracy also serves as a “need for maintenance indicator” to warn the operator for sensor breakdowns, wearing or deterioration and detect calibration needs. Development and validation of the LabVIEW based “Sensor Data Validation Tool (SDVT)” using the actual test run data constitutes the main body of this paper along with concluding remarks which brings out the validation results and the required maintenance action.

Abstract:
Safety is always the number one focus of the pipeline industry. This paper will discuss how Double Block & Bleed (DB&B) maximizes safety during a pipeline isolation. In addition to safety, DB&B also maximizes project efficiency, which results in minimizing project and maintenance costs. The goal of DB&B for both safety and efficiency is to approach 100 percent success in achieving a seal with no detectable seepage. Pipeline isolations are frequently utilized for maintenance such as replacement of leaking block valves, cut out and repair of third party damage, and cut out and replacement of imperfections identified during inline inspection runs. This paper will begin with a review of laboratory testing and calculation of DB&B efficiency, followed by one or more field case studies.

In ASME 2017 Gas Turbine India Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/gtindia2017-4615.

Abstract:
Centrifugal pumps (CPs) are crucial components in many plant operations. However, they are susceptible to failures due to mechanical faults and/or fluid flow abnormalities. These faults not only affect the CP system but also affect the systems delivering flow to it or receiving flow from it. Therefore, it is extremely crucial to recognize the faults and estimate their severity during operation, so that a corrective action may be initiated. In the present work, an attempt has been made to develop a flexible algorithm based on support vector machine (SVM) suitable to classify CP faults, like the suction and discharge blockages (with varying severities), impeller defects, pitted cover plate faults and dry runs. Also, a combination of mechanical faults (impeller defects and pitted cover plate faults) and suction and discharge blockage faults are considered. For the sake of classification, the CP vibration data and the motor line-current data are generated in time-domain for each fault experimentally. Furthermore, industrially operating CP signatures cannot be immune to noise generated from other operating equipment in the premises. Hence, to assess the robustness of the developed methodology, signals are corrupted by adding 5%, 10% and 25% additive white Gaussian noise. The developed algorithm is tested with corrupted data. The efficiency of fault predictions obtained while testing with noisy and non-noisy data are compared. The results are very promising and carry a high potential for industrial applications.

Abstract:
Gas turbine engines operate under varying conditions. Subsequently, thrust varies under diverse conditions. Owing to combustion the exhaust runs full. The flow jets have been in utilization for engineering systems, present work investigates the merits of jet perforations for gas turbine engine applications. Controlling thrust when device is running is not an option in the present world. This led us to do the study on the flow of jet through various perforated shapes. At present, thorough experiments are carried out for flow analysis of diverse jet perforations and related flow optimization for better performance. Experiments are carried out on a scaled cascade tunnel. The perforations are of circle, square, triangle and ellipse in shape. The physical insight from this work would be very informative and useful for gas turbine engine operations. Systematic experiments are carried out to fundamentally understand flow behavior with different perforations at the exit. Gas turbine engines have revolutionized the propulsion systems. The very idea of generating large amount of thrust from a small volume has always intrigued scientific community about the effectiveness of operations. Though, the engine works, however, effectiveness have always been questioned and worked upon. Results significantly state that jet perforations do modify the flow jet characteristics. The results show the increase in velocity by 6.2% on using the circular perforation. For the circular perforation wall jet, velocity increases by 14.7% with respect to reference jet i.e. jet without perforation.

Abstract:
Introdução: A correta determinação taxonômica é necessária para garantir a qualidade de estudos de diversas áreas do conhecimento. Contudo, ela demanda tempo e logística que muitas vezes dificultam ou até inviabilizam sua realização. Objetivo: Pensando nisso, nosso estudo buscou avaliar a utilização do Street View do software Google Earth Pro como ferramenta para determinação de espécies usadas na arborização de cidades. Material e métodos: O estudo consistiu em duas etapas: (1) contabilização e determinação das espécies utilizadas na arborização de duas ruas de Campo do Brito, SE (rua João Pessoa e rua José Bonifácio), por meio do software; (2) verificação in situ dos resultados obtidos via software. Resultados: Na rua João Pessoa foram contabilizados 42 indivíduos da espécie Ficus benjamina L. e dois de Azadirachta indica A. Juss., por meio do software. Já para a rua José Bonifácio foram 12 indivíduos de F. benjamina. In situ, as determinações foram todas confirmadas. Em relação a contabilização, foi observado um indivíduo a mais de A. indica. Durante a execução do trabalho, notou-se que também é possível avaliar outras questões por meio dessa ferramenta, a exemplo dos aspectos biológicos das árvores (porte, arquitetura da copa, etc), além de aspectos físicos dos locais (largura da calçada, existência de rede elétrica, recuo de imóveis, danos no calçamento provocados pelas plantas, etc). Conclusão: Diante dos resultados obtidos, é possível concluir que o uso do Street View do Google Earth Pro se mostrou uma ferramenta bastante precisa para a determinação e contabilização de plantas utilizadas na arborização urbana das ruas estudadas. Contudo, é necessário realizar esse estudo em locais cuja riqueza de espécies seja maior.

Abstract:
In the accident analysis of the Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) nowadays the international licensing practice considers several acceptable options for demonstrating the safety i.e. use of conservative computer codes with conservative assumptions, best estimate codes combined with conservative assumptions and conservative input data and application of best estimate codes with assumptions and realistic input data but associated with uncertainty evaluation of the results. The last option is particularly attractive because it allows for more precise prediction of safety margins with respect to safety criteria and their future use for power up-rating. The best estimate simulation with uncertainty analysis constitutes the framework of the present study which is to apply the last version of the French best estimate computer code CATHARE 2 in order to predict the thermal-hydraulic phenomena in the Indian KudanKulam Nuclear Power Plant (KK NPP) with VVER-1000 reactors during LB LOCA and to evaluate uncertainty along with sensitivity studies using the IRSN methodology. The paper first describes the modeling aspects of LB LOCA with CATHARE and then it presents the basic results. It highlights the use of SUNSET statistical tool developed by IRSN for sampling, management of several runs using CATHARE and further post treatment for uncertainty and sensitivity evaluation. The paper also deals with the difficulties associated with the selection of input uncertainties, code applicability and discusses the challenges in uncertainty evaluation.

Abstract:
Last decade has seen a spurt in autonomous technologies in military and civilian sectors. The search for oil and gas is moving into ever deeper waters, and the need for coastal surveillance and climatic monitoring, makes underwater autonomous assistance quite obvious for a developing nation like India with thousands of kilometres of coastline. Using such platforms in these endeavours provides an efficient way to keep human life out of harm’s way in hostile environments. The prototype developed has its navigation based on an internal IMU (Inertial Mass Unit) and the software is extensible to support DVL (Doppler Velocity Logger) based navigation. Near range object detection and path planning is achieved via Image Processing and using two surge and one heave thrusters the bot can operate in three degrees of freedom. The modular structure allows for the addition of extra sensors like pressure, temperature and manipulators like grippers and torpedoes. It has a Intel Atom processor, which runs the control algorithms for motion and required task completion. Paper published with permission.
