ArIES Recruitment 2017
About ArIES
Artificial Intelligence and Electronics Society (ArIES) is an open campus group of IITR, with a mission to solve impactful problems with Artificial Intelligence and Electronics. We always welcome suggestions, ideas and exciting problems to work on.
We also represent our institute in Inter IIT Technical Meet where project members of some of our selected projects compete at a national level. We also showcase our work in Srishti. We take up projects of Institute level importance such as Licence Plate Recognition System to be deployed at various gates of the Institute.
Project Team Selection Process
We openly welcome talented minds from IITR. To properly align the interests of the members with the project requirements, we have come up with this selection process. The steps in the selection process for project allotment are as follows:
- Fill this form with all your details and two projects that you wish to work on. The project descriptions are provided at the end of this page. Only first two choices shall be considered in case you fill more than two projects.
- The deadline for submitting the form is August 27 11:59 IST.
- Schedule for the interview shall be announced on August 28, 2017. The interviews will start on the same day after dinner (tentatively).
- You will be called for interview depending on your project selection. Interviews will be brief with an aim to evaluate your dedication, enthusiasm, motivation and areas of interest.
- Keep checking our Facebook group and page for interview updates.
- Each project will have a team of around 3 to 5 members.
- You are expected to have some idea about your areas of interest and technologies aligning with your projects. So, start reading. To make it easier for you ArIES has published a series of blogs to get you started.
- Teams for selected students will be formed and they will be expected to start the project as early as possible.
Projects
Augmented Reality Models: You will be learning to make 3D Models of real life devices for Virtual Reality Headsets.
Automated Soldering Station: You will be making a setup that can automatically solder on a perf board according to the given input.
Biometric Lock: A biometric system to control the lock on doors. This will involve the use of fingerprint sensor, Raspberry Pi and locking mechanisms.
Customized Hand Writing Bot: Make a bot that can write and further enhance it to mimic any person’s handwriting.
Data Acquisition System using ATmega32: Work directly with the microcontroller that makes up the brain behind Arduino. You will be using a GPRS/GSM Module to receive, process and transmit data.
EEG Controlled Bot: Use your brain signals to control real world objects, starting with a small bot.
Haunting Eye: Eyes that stare right at you and follow your movement. You will use image processing to detect a person and use robotic eyes to follow them.
LED Cube (8 x 8 x 8): You will be devising a setup that can show a complete 3D image by exploiting persistence of vision to rapidly combine smaller images.
Microphone slot for acoustic guitar: A system to control the sound effects of your acoustic guitar just like an electric guitar. You will learn to design an analog amplifier with active filters to attenuate noise and will apply signal processing techniques on Raspberry Pi to give the sound effects of an Electric Guitar.
OCR: OCR or Optical Character Recognition involves reading handwriting using Neural Networks.
Propeller Clock: You will be devising a setup that can show a complete image by exploiting persistence of vision to rapidly combine smaller images.
Quadcopter: Make your own flying machines and make them do cool stuff. Let your imaginations fly high.
Recommendation System: Just like IMDb, we propose a recommendation system for our academic course work, suggesting electives according to your interests and user ratings.
Self-balancing bot using Reinforcement Learning: The project aims at balancing an unstable robot using PID controllers initially and then using reinforcement learning.
Tempescope: A live weather box to simulate real time weather of any location of your choice. It shall be able to simulate various weather conditions like thunderstorm, rainfall, fog, etc.
Text to Narrate Film: You will use Machine Learning to make E-books more interactive by showing relevant images alongside.
Don’t be intimidated by the difficulty of these projects; we are always here to help you out. Go through the blogs and don’t hesitate to reach out to us in case of any queries. We promise an experience full of learning and fun. Hope to see you soon in ArIES!
