In an age where digital and physical worlds increasingly converge, Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) are becoming central to everyday life—from healthcare and smart homes to wearable technology and robotics. A recent innovation led by researchers from Jeju National University (JNU), South Korea, and National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Pakistan, presents a transformative step in…
Imagine a world where surgical tools could “feel” the pressure they apply or where wearable devices could monitor movement with surgical precision without needing a power source. At the Department of Mechatronics Engineering, NUST College of EME, Dr. Hassan Elahi and his research team have made a major leap toward this future. Their latest innovation,…
The rapid advancement of immersive virtual reality (VR) technologies has opened unprecedented possibilities for enhancing remote collaboration and teleoperation tasks, enabling users to experience realistic telepresence in distant or hazardous environments. However, achieving effective and intuitive control in VR-based telepresence systems remains challenging, often hindered by factors such as latency, limited situational awareness, and inadequate…
Motorway closures during foggy season are a major obstacle for those who need to travel by road for urgent matters. The season lasts for two to three months, and the motorway is closed for over 12 hours a day. This problem intrigues us to propose a solution where we can benefit from vehicular communications by…
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury and reduced mobility among older adults. According to CDC USA, 1 in 4 seniors aged 65 and above experiences a fall, often leading to long-term physical and psychological effects. As a global problem, the need for effective fall detection technologies is the need of time. Thankfully,…
Pakistan is in an earthquake-prone region, as evidenced by the catastrophic earthquake in October 2005, which resulted in the loss of more than 75,000 lives, injured thousands, and left millions homeless. Entire towns like Balakot were destroyed, and the collapse of well-known buildings such as the Margalla Towers in Islamabad became a powerful symbol of…
