Technology & Domains:

High-risk and heavy motor industries, educational institutes, finance, and underground drilling industries can modernize their training, simulation, and advertisement practices by integrating AR/VR, metaverse, AI, gamification, IoT, Web3, and cloud technologies. AR/VR can overlay real-time data onto machinery, VR can offer realistic training scenarios, metaverse can create virtual training spaces, AI can tailor training programs, gamification can increase engagement, IoT can collect real-time data, Web3 can enable decentralized training platforms, and cloud can provide scalable infrastructure. These technologies lead to safer operations, more efficient workflows, and enhanced learning experiences.

Cutting-edge technologies like AI-ML, AR/VR/MR, gamification, and the metaverse can revolutionize technical education through personalized training and simulation. AI-ML analyzes individual learning patterns to tailor educational content. AR/VR/MR provides hands-on experience. Gamification makes learning engaging and motivating. The metaverse offers collaborative learning and exploration. By combining these technologies, educators can create dynamic learning experiences that cater to diverse learning styles and foster innovation. AI-driven analytics can continuously refine and improve educational content and delivery, ensuring that technical education remains relevant and effective.

AR/VR/MR platforms can replicate real-world environments where ground radar systems operate. This includes simulating terrain, weather conditions, and different scenarios where ground radar is used, such as air traffic control, weather monitoring, or military applications. Virtual reality can transport users to space exploration missions, allowing them to experience the challenges and excitement of space travel. These simulations can include spacewalks, planetary landings, and interactions with spacecraft and extraterrestrial environments, providing valuable insights into space missions. Aerospace engineers can use virtual reality to visualize and interact with 3D models of aircraft and spacecraft designs. This allows for collaborative design reviews, ergonomic evaluations, and testing of different configurations before physical prototypes are built, reducing development time and costs. R/VR/MR technology can simulate mission control environments for space missions, allowing trainees to practice coordinating spacecraft operations, monitoring telemetry data, and making real-time decisions in response to simulated scenarios. This helps prepare mission control personnel for space missions' dynamic and high-pressure nature.

Prof. Swades De of Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, Delhi

Power consumption in cellular wireless communication base stations is a significant cost factor for the service providers. Further, it significantly adds to the global carbon footprint. To this end, ambient-powered wireless base stations are being explored. In this presentation, we will present the case of networked cellular base stations equipped with solar/ambient energy harvesting capability and connected to the power grid for their uninterrupted operation. Since ambient energy availability and cell traffic are stochastic processes, we demonstrate the need for inter-base station cooperation to deal with these doubly stochastic processes and potentially reduce grid power consumption costs. Under such an inter-base station cooperative scenario, we investigate the energy harvesting and storage capacity and operation optimization strategies for operator revenue maximization and/or green cellular operation. Beyond the CAPEX optimization,
Implementing the proposed strategies requires only software intervention at the Radio Network Controller or Remote Radio Units.
