The IEEE JUIT Student Branch, in collaboration with the IEEE Region 10 Education Activities and the IEEE Delhi Section, successfully conducted a two-day workshop titled “Smart Living: Harnessing Sensor Fusion for Home Automation” at Jaypee University of Information Technology (JUIT) on August 22-23, 2024. The workshop aimed to give participants an in-depth understanding of sensor fusion technology and its applications in creating smart, automated home environments. The event, held at ECL6 on the JUIT campus, featured a series of technical sessions that ranged from the basics of sensor technology to advanced integration techniques for building efficient home automation systems.
The event commenced with an insightful session led by Dr. Vikas Baghel, Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering at JUIT. Dr. Baghel introduced participants to various types of sensors, including temperature, humidity, motion, and light sensors, and explained how sensor fusion can enhance data accuracy and system dependability.
The second day focused on applying the concepts learned on Day 1 through practical exercises and interactive sessions. Dr. Emjee Puthooran, Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering at JUIT, guided participants through real-world scenarios where sensor fusion could be implemented to enhance home automation systems.
The workshop concluded with a discussion on the future prospects of sensor fusion in home automation. Participants were encouraged to continue exploring this field, with insights provided on upcoming trends and potential challenges. Dr. Shruti Jain, Branch Counselor IEEE JUIT SB informed that the workshop was deemed a significant success, equipping attendees with the knowledge and practical skills needed to explore the exciting world of home automation. The event was widely promoted across various channels and saw participation from students and professionals interested in the burgeoning field of smart home technology. The workshop is expected to inspire further innovation and research in the domain of sensor fusion and home automation.
