IIT researchers develop real-time underwater marine robot, eases deep-sea surveillance

Image
image : Envato and Twitter Real-time underwater marine robot: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi and Palakkad have achieved a tremendous achievement in developing real-time underwater marine robot for underwater surveillance. The function of this robot will be close underwater monitoring and verification. Its level of efficacy would be very high, risk would be extremely low and it would likely be cost-effective, the researchers said. Jagdish Kadian, assistant professor at the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at IIT Mandi, said that learning about the ocean's internal currents from history led to the conclusion that only by placing instruments on research ships deep can one gain more insight into the ocean. Kadian, a co-author of the study, said that a typical cruise ship stays on the surface for a month or two, limiting the possibility of producing a comprehensive report on the sea. So it has often been said that changes in the sea do not wait for a ship ...

Taking advantage of Twitter company's name change and other major upheavals last year, Meta Company launched a new social platform ' Threads ' almost like Twitter. When the Threads service launched in July 2023, it was launched along the lines of the already hugely popular Instagram to give it a large user base from the start. Hence, if we have an Instagram account, we can sign-up in the threads from it and the Instagram username and followers are also added to the threads. Due to this the threads got a very fast growth initially. In the first month itself , in fact in the first five days, the number of its users reached the mark of 10 crores.

The Open Network Core Digital Commerce (ONDC) project was launched in India in April last year. Amazon and Flipkart currently have a duopoly in the e-commerce sector in India and both of these companies are foreign-owned.

Given the prevalence of online commerce in India, this number is still very low. However, the number of merchants connected to the network has increased significantly. Af...
