| Integration of digital olfaction with a mobile phone and television. | Television technology has by and large captured the senses of hearing and vision but has failed to capture the experiences of organs viz. smell, taste, and touch. Therefore, the objective of this project is to augment the virtual reality experience of audio and motion pictures on television with a sense of olfaction. | IIT Mandi | School of Computing and Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Mandi. | Dr. Shubhajit Roy Chowdhury | 1.Dr. Aniruddha Chakraborty 2.

| Designing advanced, efficient, compact, highly reliable sensors and biomarkers-based systems to combat Alzheimer’s disease, heart attacks, and early-stage cancer. | Developing on-body/off-body/invasive/non-invasive advanced, non-destructive, highly sensitive, and rapid-detecting biosensor systems. It will use technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging, electromagnetic reflection, neurological images, infra-retransmissions, etc. Such sensors will not only analyze the biomarkers but will also predict the cause of anomalies in the vital signatures. | IIT Mandi | School of Computing and Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Mandi. | Dr. Anirban Sarkar | Dr. G.

| Developing an AI-based cognitive function enhancement app by applying Artificial intelligence and biomarker profiling. | Development of the mobile application with built-in elements like yoga protocol as well as the gamification aspect. The feedback on the performed yoga that will be provided to the end-user will have immense future potential to alleviate conditions of stress, anxiety, and depression among rural and poor populations, who cannot afford costly healthcare solutions | IIT Mandi | School of Basic Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Mandi. | Dr. Amit Prasad | Dr. Varun Dutt Dr. Arnav Bhavsar |
| Development of artificial skin integrated with multipurpose sensors and creating perceptual explanations through artificial skin | Under the framework of the proposed project, an artificial skin also termed E-skin will be designed. The proposed E-skin can mimic the properties and sensory perception of real skin with the aid of integrated multipurpose sensors. Further to present the sensory perception of E-Skin an artificial neural network will be integrated which can aid in presenting non-explanatory decisions such as the softness of a flower, or the hardness of a rock. The proposed work will have tremendous applications in areas of health care, robotics, etc | IIT Mandi | School of Computing and Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Mandi. | Dr. G.

| Edible nano-composite-based 3D printing for the gustatory interface | To develop purely a plant-based (vegetarian) bio-ink including alginate (extracted from seaweeds), and cellulose nanocrystals (cellulose is extracted from plants). Edible ink incorporates nanoparticles that impart varying taste, color, and texture and their combinations, that can be 3D printed to reproduce a sample of the food item on screen using an in-house developed low-cost 3D food printer. | IIT Mandi | School of Biosciences and Bioengineering (SBB).
