Projects
Autonomous fire extinguishing robot using Raspberry Pi :
- An autonomous fire detection and extinguishing system was implemented using Arduino.
- Technologies and software used - Arduino, ESP 8266, embedded C ,IOT,sensors
Implement, test and compare EDF scheduling algorithm against RM and DM scheduling
- Implemented EDF (earliest deadline first), RM(rate monotonic) and DM(deadline monotonic) scheduling algorithms using FreeRTOS.
- Calculated performance metrics of all three algorithms such as scheduler overhead,CPU utilization,number of missed deadlines.
- Performed a comparative analysis based on the performance metrics.
Moving target defense in real-time systems (Ongoing project)
- Currently working on implementation of moving target defense in real-time systems without disrupting the timing requirements and ensuring that the task deadlines are met.
- Implemented by reallocating or migrating tasks to random processors at regular intervals to introduce uncertainity.
