Tethered Drone

Tethered Drone

The unmanned Aerial Vehicle or Drone is one of the best innovations of mankind. From photography, surveillance, public safety, logistics, law enforcement, agriculture, and many other fields, drones are deployed to ease the work. Though the drone has a variety of advantages the major limitation is flight time. Even the advanced drones have a flight time of 30 minutes only. 

In this drone project, we are going to solve this problem by developing a tethered drone. With tethered drones, the endurance of the flight is increased compared to free-flying drones.

How to simulate a drone using ROS (FlytSim)

How to simulate a drone using ROS (FlytSim)

As the usage of drones is expanding day by day the misuse and accidents are also increasing because of drones. Before testing a drone in real-time simulating it on a simulator will decrease the wastage of time and money. By doing this, the occurrence of accidents due to the malfunction in hardware or software of drones can also be avoided. In this ROS tutorial, we are going to simulate a drone in FlytSim simulator which is a ROS-Gazebo based setup. 

FlytSim is a 3D simulator for Drone applications. This simulator helps developers to test their applications at the convenience of their laptop/desktop. With the SITL simulation environment, the developed application can be tested without the drone hardware. During the simulation, autopilot uses the same algorithm on FC to make the behaviour close to real-time.

Desktop voice assistant project

Desktop voice assistant project

Introduction

We all know about Google Assistant and Cortana desktop, they recognize the voice and perform an action according to our commands. Actually it is a part of the smart home concept. Just you have to give a voice command and the system will help you to act on it. So if you want to develop such a system then this article is for you. Skyfi Labs will give you a brief overview of the project.

Personal Portfolio Website Design using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Personal Portfolio Website Design using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Overview

Creating a personal webpage can be something that can add plus points to your portfolio. Making a resume is very important if you are a fresher and looking for good jobs. If you want to impress the interviewer then you can represent yourself in the form of a personal website. A portfolio webpage looks like a resume that consists of your achievements and qualifications in an attractive manner. 

In this web development project, we will be creating a good portfolio webpage which will act as a resume for one. For this project, we will need to have some knowledge of HTML and CSS. HTML will be used to create the base of the webpage and CSS will be used to add effects to it.

NEWS Recommendation system - Data mining project

NEWS Recommendation system - Data mining project

As we see in the technical field, data mining refers to a broadway of software tools and mathematical modeling techniques that are used to find patterns in data and use this information to model building. It describes the collection of analytical techniques that helps to build a recommendation model. Data mining processes are highly used for the building of machine learning models which include website recommendation programs and search engine technology. There are a few techniques in data mining as follows: Predictive Modeling, Descriptive Modeling, Pattern Mining, and Anomaly Detection. These are used for various purposes and the building of the different kinds of models. So today we are discussing the News Recommendation System. If you want to know more then read the whole project idea on Skyfi Labs.

FEA Analysis of Disc Brake using ANSYS

FEA Analysis of Disc Brake Using ANSYS

In brakes, the main property is the thermal conductivity as a lot of heat is generated in the brakes when it is applied. So, the brakes must be strong enough to control or dissipate the heat and to stop the vehicle with minimum displacement in urgent situations.

The main property of the brake is that it should cool down rapidly to avoid any structural imbalances to the brakes and another thing is that it should clean itself automatically.

Disc brake slows the rotatory motion of the wheel by the abrasion of brakes pads onto the wheel. During braking, kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, which heats the air present in between the brakes by which the durability of the brakes increases.

Finite element analysis helps in numerically solving any engineering problem. FEA represents every engineering problem in a numerical way by which the solution to the problems can be known and whether the process is feasible or no can be known.

Data Analysis of Cab services

Data Analysis of Cab services

You need to analyze something to get the work done properly or to make improvements in your life. Data analysis is exactly like that. Data Analysis is generally used to extract information and use it for decision making for better performance. Some logical and analytical facts are taken into consideration from the information gained from data. In this article, we are discussing the data analysis of cabs trips. It will be helpful for beginners. If you are interested in technologies the Skyfi Labs will help you to improve your knowledge.

Automatic Grass cutter using Arduino

Automatic Grass cutter using Arduino

Introduction

You heard about the world like smart homes, smart streets, smart cities, etc. Many homes have smart functions like turning on and off the lights with voice and many other functionalities. Many cities are also leading towards smart constructions like smart cities and smart streets. Automatic street lights, automatic parking systems are some of the examples of smart city planning. This is only because of the smart technology ‘Internet of Things’ commonly known as IoT. The technology helps to communicate between hardware. It helps in robotics also. In this article, we are discussing another project named Automatic Grass Cutter using various basic IoT components. So if you want to learn more then stay connected with Skyfi Labs. We will definitely provide you all information about every technology.

Simple Electric motor STEM project

Simple Electric motor STEM project

When we think of the motor you will immediately get the visuals of a car motor or a bike engine, but we actually encounter other small motors in our daily life. Motors have changed the way we live. Even now you can find at least 3 to 5 electric motors around you or in your room. For example hairdryer, laptop cooling motor, or the motor spinning your hard drive, and small toy cars, electric fan, AC compressor motor, and many more. Electric motors have confirmed themselves that it is one of the most excellent discoveries of all time. 

This tutorial will help you to understand how they work by developing a simple electric motor. This science project is for kids who are interested in electrical components. Also, this project helps kids to understand the working of motors easily.

Magnetic Slime - STEM Project for Kids

Magnetic Slime - STEM Project for Kids

There is a chance that you may be played with magnets and slime many times individually. But I bet you haven’t done both at the same time. This STEM project will teach you how to create a magnetic slime. You can build this as your science fair or STEM project to grab all your attention towards yours. At the end of this project, You should have mastered to develop a perfect magnetic slime recipe. Below are the materials required to develop the magnetic slime project:

  • Liquid starch
  • Iron oxide powder
  • Bowl for mixing the components
  • Glue 
  • Spoons for stirring
  • Neodymium magnet - Normal magnet will not have the power to attract the material
