What does a robot do in cinematography?

With the advancement in computing and processing powers of the computers, many process are being automated, cinematography is one of the fields where the automation is applied.
These robots are used to shoot some unimaginable shots which can’t be shot by humans.
The cameras are mounted on the robots and the way a shot has to be shot is programmed and fed to the robot.
The robots swings its arms as programmed and a perfect shot is taken even without any shakes or glitches.
Motorized Precision, a company that develops cinema robots offers several cinema robots of different sizes and capabilities. The company has developed a very interactive interface for programming the robots. It offers a software called “MP Studio” with which the robot scan be programmed as desired.
Currently, these cinema robots are used in many commercial advertisements to get an impressive shot of the product and these robots are also used in movies.
Also the robots take care of focusing of the subject when using a manual lens in the camera. When the distance between the subject and the camera changes, the focusing mechanism provided with the robot adjusts the focal

The first offline event of IEEE and WIE clubs of the academic year 2021-2022 was catalogued as “ Trendy Talk”. The event was held on 05.09.2021 between 4:00 pm to 4:45 pm. The session was a technical step up with Samsung and was organized by Mr.P.J.Harshavardhan of III EEE A. The session made the students to polish up with already existing technology and to track the necessitate of new gadgets. The impact of modern technology in our routine and their appropriate usage were covered . Many students from various department also marked their presence by quoting numerous brand new gadgets of Samsung. The quality and the service rendered by the Samsung were depicted.  The talk assisted the student to grasp a vital technical knowledge in the developing streams of Samsung and was really informative to all. The event had a feedback session and the importance of IEEE membership was conveyed. The event terminated successfully with the help of all Office Bearers. The event was guided by our branch counsellor Dr.C.Kalyana Sundaram M.E,P.hd., Assistant Professor , Department of ECE

Possibilities and challenges for future 6G

Researchers studying the future of sixth-generation (6G) wireless communications are now sketching out possibilities—though not certainties —for the kinds of technologies a 6G future could entail

Sixth-generation wireless technology—says Harsh Tataria, a communications engineering lecturer at Lund University, Sweden —will be characterized by low latencies and ultrahigh frequencies, with data transfer speeds potentially hitting 100 Gbps.

Wireless brain-computer interaction:

This is a process of a direct communication path between the brain and external devices through the transmission of  brain  signals to  a digital device  that  will analyze  and       interpret  signals  into  actions.  6G will contribute to the development of these BCI systems to improve smart life. The  6G  network  is  expected to   launch   in   2030 officially.At     the    moment, early  discussions, research projects, and developments will bring the 6G network into reality in the future.

The  development of a 6G wireless network is based on  the demand for extreme speed in various innovations that require huge investments in wireless network technologies.

Similarly, the development is driven by the increasingly distributed radio access network (RAN) and the urge to utilize the terahertz spectrum to deliver increased capacity, low latency, and data sharing efficiency.

“Internet access anywhere on the planet Earth!” Possible???

Yes, it is possible with the technology called satellite internet. Satellite internet promises internet access at any part of the world. The difference between conventional technology is that the satellites provide internet access and to use it the user needs an antennae to receive the signal from the satellite similar to TV communication.

The technology uses a network of satellites placed at an orbit called geo stationary orbit which is 35,786 Km above the Earth’s surface

So the satellites will move along with the Earth and when viewed from ground the satellites seem to remain fixed at a same point. So the antennas may remain fixed focussing the satellite.

Spacex has come up with a solution for this. Starlink is Spacex’s satellite internet technology which promises low latencies and competitive pricing with that of other terrestrial counterparts.

Starlink uses satellites placed at Low Earth Orbits. Satellites will be placed at 300Km to 500Km orbits. Satellites at 300Km orbit will cover narrow region and the others at 500Km orbit will cover wider region.

As this tech uses Low Earth Orbit satellites, they don’t sync with that of Earth’s rotation. So the antennas at ground need to be tracking the satellites continuously to send and receive signals. A special type of antenna is used here. The antennas are called Phased Array Antennas. They contain arrays of small antennas and changes the direction of signals can be changed by making a phase difference in signals transmitted by each array of antennas, without wanting to physically turn the antennas to focus a satellite.

The company has started its beta testing and few beta users have got their hands on using this tech. The company aims to provide latency below 20ms and network speeds upto 1Gbps in future when it expands its network all over the globe.

The company started launching satellites for this tech from 2018 and it is still launching and recently 52 satellites were launched on 16th of May this year. Currently there are 1578 satellites working out of 1677 launched.The company plans to have 40,000 such satellites in future covering the whole Earth. The failed satellites will be made to fall towards Earth in such a way that it would burn off completely during its trajectory

     The most mind warming event of the academic year 2021-2022 was affixed by “Mindsweeper”. The event was bounded on 07/08/2021 virtually through impartus. The event was coordinated and correlated by P.J.Harshavardhan III EEE A, J.Alfina Graceline III ECE B and  K.Ramkumar III CSE C. The dominant desire of this event is to level up with technology in fun loving lively scheme.

              Many students from diverse department had enrolled and endeavored the event through the chat box. The commencing segment correlated the recent advancement by the means of connexions and followed by decoding the technical terms by funny memes. The event terminated by the startup story of South Korean company Samsung. The student had enjoyed and captured vast perception as well which will never dim from their sense. The event was guided by our branch counsellor Dr.C.Kalyana Sundaram M.E,Phd. Assistant professor-Department of ECE.

One of the most exciting event of IEEE and WIE clubs of the academic year 2021-2022 was termed as “Saturday Carnival”. The event was archived on 31/07/2021 between 3:40 – 4:30pm through Impartus virtually. The prime aim of this event was to focus on technical insight in various developing domains and to charm the participants by numerous up to date innovations. The event was administered by Ms. S.Madhu Varshini of III EEE A and Ms.S.Devi Priya of III ECE A.

                           Several students from various department had actively marked their role through chat box. The segments like “Gradeup with Gadgets” made the students to ponder a lot regarding the recent automations. Students sparked their mind and reflected their view in “leisure with logos”. This event served as a platform for the students to enhance their technical skills and made students to come up with striking ideas to acknowledge the event.  The event was headed by our branch counsellor Dr. C. Kalyana Sundaram M.E, Phd. Assistant professor Department of ECE.
