MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all

to Open Day at the Indian Institute of Science
(IISc). The Institute was established in 1909
due to the far-sighted vision of philanthropist
and industrialist Jamsetji N Tata, whose birth
anniversary falls on 3 March, and is celebrated
as Founder’s Day. Around the same time, 28
Prof. Govindan Rangarajan February is celebrated as National Science Day
Director, IISc to commemorate the discovery of the Raman
effect by Sir CV Raman, a former Director of IISc.

It is in conjunction with these dates that the Institute organises Open

Day every year, and throws its doors open to the public, inviting them
to experience its activities and facilities first-hand. We welcome you all
to visit the campus, to explore, experience and enjoy the wonders of
scientific and technological research and innovation at IISc.

exhibition using Lego sets
AFM: A cantilever beam will be
made with a reflecting mirror
placed on the beam. A laser
beam will be adjusted to get
reflected from the mirror onto a
graph placed behind the cantilever
beam and the setup. The whole
setup will be mounted onto
a microscope stage which will
cause movement in the cantilever
and sample setup. This causes
displacement of the laser pointer
on the graph. It will demonstrate
the working principle of the AFM.
Traction microscopy: Micropillar

resolution? Learn how you can see

6. How do we ‘feel’?
Smooth, rough, slippery, sticky,
soft, hard, etc., these are words
that we regularly use in our
everyday life to describe the
feeling we get when we ‘touch’ a
surface. Also, the ‘feel’ of a surface
varies from person to person,
i.e., it is very subjective. But is
there something more fundamental
behind the subjectivity of this
feeling? It is fascinating that
something as vague and subjective
as ‘feel’ can be explained through
a force all around us. It is the force
of friction between our fingertips
and the surface we are touching
that influences our perception of
that very surface. Let us
understand the world around us
through the sense of touch, and let
us experiment a little to understand
more about how we ‘feel’.

I want to explain the effect of waves

(30 degrees and 45 degrees) and
also keep some sediment at the
bottom to see sediment transport
along the coast. The model can
be demonstrated by preparing a
rectangular channel using glass slabs
with open on top and filled with half
water.
On one side, we can put a wooden/
thermocol piece cut at proper angle
to represent the coastal slope. Some
sand and pebbles will kept at the end
of the slope to represent sediment.
On the other end a flapper can be
put that will be used to simulate the
waves in the channel. The flapper
will be run by a DC electric motor
connected via a shaft. The speed
of the motor can be monitored to
simulate weak and strong surface
waves in the channel.

Topic: Gesture Controlled Robot- Dr.
Pushpak Jagtap, RBCCPS
Description:
A Gesture Controlled robot is a
robot that can be controlled by hand
gestures. You just need to have a
small transmitting device in your
hand, which includes an acceleration
meter to transmit an appropriate
command to the robot so that it
can do whatever you want. The
transmitting device included an ADC
for analog to digital conversion and
an encoder IC(HT12E) which is used
to encode the four-bit data and then
will transmit by an RF Transmitter
module. At the receiving end, an
RF Receiver receives the encoded
data, and decoder IC decodes it.
A microcontroller processes this
data, and the motor driver is used to
control the motors.
