Sentience ‘13

ACROM *Amrita Club for Robotics and Mechatronics+, held its intra-college Robotic

Competition - Sentience’13, on 3rd and 4th March, 2013. The event was inaugurated by

Mr. R. Karthikeyan, Assistant Professor, Department of ECE, by flagging off the event “Line

Follower”.

Day-1 of Sentience consisted of “Line Follower”, the classical event of any robotics

competition. Team “Cuttlefish” won the first place. Day 2 witnessed “RoboSlam”, a robot

competition analogous to “RoboWars”. After a furious struggle, the team Auto Bots won the

first place.

Sentience’13 owed much of its success to the patronage and support showed by its

mentors Dr. T.S.B. Sudarshan, Dr. Nagaraja S.R. and Mr. A.A. Nippun Kumaar. The events were

judged by Mr. B. Sagar, Assistant Professor, Department of ECE, Mr. M. Rajesh, Assistant

StudSat Project was organized by the Department on 20th March 2013 at the E-learning

hall. Prof. Sankar Dasiga shared his knowledge and experiences on the topic of successful

design and development of nano-satellites, their launch and tracking. Project StudSat, a

project initiated by a small group of students at NMIT in the year 2008 has

now transitioned into a full-fledged program. The first success of this initiative was the

launch of StudSat-1, a small satellite in the category ‘pico’, during the year 2010 by PSLV

C15. Currently the work is in progress on the project StudSat-2, which deals with the

development of dual satellites in the category ‘nano’. While the mission objective for

StudSat-1 was hands-on exposure of space technology to UG students, the objectives of

the next project are ISL (Inter-Satellite Link) and implementation of a separation system. An

unique feature of these projects is the participation of students from a consortium of 7

engineering colleges.

Nonconventional energy sources are playing important role in meeting current

power/energy demands. However these sources cannot provide High voltage/power. For

power conditioning and voltage amplification solid state power converters are very much

essential. One such approach to obtain high voltage was to use cascaded multilevel

inverter, but cascaded multilevel inverters require separate DC sources and they cannot

be used for regenerative applications. To overcome these limitations, a novel

configuration using diode clamped multilevel inverter is proposed. The conditioned DC

voltage from photovoltaic cells or fuel cells or batteries is boosted and inverted by means

of multistage Multilevel Inverters (MLI). Three different configurations are presented in

this paper. From the simulation results of all three configurations, the topology which is

found to be better is implemented in the real time. A prototype is developed to boost 40 V

input DC to 100 V AC and the experimental results for the same are presented.
