piston floating calipers, 4 disk system. Suspensions: Double
wishbone of independent type Suspension in both, front and rear
Power train: BRIGSS & STARTTON 1450 XR Professional Series
Max RPM – 3600 Max Torque – 14.50 ft-lbs, Tires: 185 x 60 x 13R
or 155 x 70 x 13R

2. Improvement in Batasha Making Process

Fig. 2.2 Actual Setup
The batasha is a sweet dish prepared from sugar mixture and used in
traditional functions and religious rituals. It was found that traditional
batasha making process is tiring (due to squatting sitting posture of
artisan) and unhygienic. Hence, it needs improvement ergonomically.
In this work, we have developed a set-up resembling a typical table
and chair arrangement which improved the process of batasha making
by eradicating the drudgery and hygiene problem. The set-up is a three
rack systemthat can maintain a required level of hygiene,
ergonomically suited working space and eliminate the health risks
associated with the current practice. The project was funded by the
Rural Technology Action Group (RuTAG) of Indian Institute of
Technology Delhi.

3. Design and Fabrication of Golf Kart
Supervisor- Mr. Dhirendra Kumar Singh & Mr. Amardeep
Student: A team of A team of 17 Students of Mechanical and ECE branch
A Golf Kart has been designed and developed by the student of IEC
Group of Institutions, Greater Noida. A SQUAD-7 team (A team of 17
Students of Mechanical and ECE branch) have developed it in the
college workshop under the R&D Cell under the supervision of Mr.
Amardeep (A.P. ME dept.)
The Kart has the following specifications
1. Low Cost (only 80K) with High strength
2. Battery operated so it's Eco friendly
3. Hydraulic Break
4. Easy riding with 5 persons
5. Equipped with tire pressure sensor
4. Service and Surveillance using RoboMuse 4.0
Supervisor(s): Dr. Vinay Gupta
Students- Md. Ahmad, Heera Lal, Sanjay Maurya
RoboMuse 4.0 is a low cost automatic mobile robot developed at IIT
Delhi which could demonstrate different capabilities such as traversing
a pre-defined path autonomously, navigation in a pre-defined map,
detecting and avoiding the static and dynamic obstacles, live video
recording of the environment and is able to differentiate between a
known and unknown object. It is a fourth version of RoboMuse series
of robots developed under the guidance of Prof. S. K. Saha, Professor,
ME Dept., IIT Delhi.
The RoboMuse 4.0 is given to IEC College of Engineering and
Technology, Greater Noida for a collaborative work to enhance its
capabilities and applications.
In the journey of the advancement in RoboMuse 4.0, following features
and applications were added at IEC:
Successful docking and charging of RoboMuse 4.0 autonomously.
1. Developed an application so that RoboMuse 4.0 can move through
multiple stations autonomously. In this, user will choose the station
then robot will reach to the selected station.
2. Added safety arrangement for the encoder and the circuitry.
3. Redesigning of the charging bracket which establishes positive
contact with the Dock (Charging station) due to which robot starts
charging.
4. Developed android app to do various tasks such as to get the live
feed of video from robot to android based mobile, its current
position in the virtual map.

5. Design and Fabrication of any Terrain Vehicle (ATV)
Supervisor- Mr. Amardeep
Student: Sushant Singh, Deepak Arya, Garvit Rajan, Krishan Gupta, Vijay
Kushwaha, Vijit Satya, ME Department
An all-terrain vehicle (ATV), also known as a quad, quad bike, three-
wheeler, four-wheeler, or quadric cycle as defined by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a vehicle that travels on low-
pressure tires, with a seat that is straddled by the operator, along with
handlebars for steering control. As the name implies, it is designed to
handle a wider variety of terrain than most other vehicles.
An ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) is a vehicle that rides on low pressure
tires with large wheel travel unlike On-road commercial vehicles. As
the name implies, it is designed to tackle various kinds of terrain that
Mother Nature has created. To be successful at fast trail riding, an
ATV must have light weight, high power, good suspension and a low
centre of gravity. The ability to go anywhere on any kind of terrain
that most other vehicles could not cross soon made them popular.
6. Design & Development of Smart Dustbin
Supervisor- Ms. Sonali Dubey
Student: Amrit Raj, Vishal Rai, ECE department
Waste management is one of the primary problem that the world
faces irrespective of the case of developed or developing country.
The key issue in the waste management is that the garbage bin at
public places gets overflowed well in advance before the
commencement of the next cleaning process. It in turn leads to
various hazards such as bad odor & ugliness to that place which may
be the root cause for spread of various diseases. To avoid all such
hazardous scenario and maintain public cleanliness and health this
work is mounted on a smart garbage system. The main theme of the
work is to develop a smart intelligent garbage alert system for a
proper garbage management.
1. This smart dustbin automatic opens its cap when someone pass
hand above it
2. It store biodegradable and non biodegradable things at different
places.
3. It sends message to the Municipal Corporation when it fill up to
certain level.
Circuit Description of Smart Dustbin using Arduino Uno:
The circuit of smart dustbin is shown in figure. As we know that
Arduino Uno board consist ATmega328 AVR microcontroller which
is heart of the board. It is accompanied by other components like a
power supply, ultrasonic module HC-SR04 and servo motor.
