This student will collaborate in the development of a device that can help farmers and industries that use silos.

Himanshu Agrawal has joined the BISITE team as a temporary intern.  He is an outstanding student, currently pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur, India. He has completed his Pre-final year and has joined the BISITE research group for his summer internship. Himanshu will get practical experience, will get to know the Spanish culture, and collaborate in several research projects.

He is a top student from a top Indian Institution. His primary interest is in the research areas of “Robotics, Mechatronics, Internet of Things (IoT)”. He also has experience with Internet of Things (IoT). He has experience with android application development, robotics and embedded systems, including experiments on body tracking using Microsoft Kinect.

While at the BISITE research group he will collaborate in the development of an IoT device that can measure the volume of grains present in a silo at any time and display the data through a smartphone application. This can help farmers and industries where silos are used to plan and manage the stock efficiently by allowing them to be aware of out of stock risk.
