Topics for projects using sensors

These topics will cover various sensors, such as infrared sensors, light detector sensors, motion detector sensors, ultrasonic sensors, etc. These topics are great options for your academic projects whether they may be a mini project or a capstone, these ideas are suitable for both.

• Automatic lights by human detection
  This project utilizes motion detection sensors to automatically switch on the lights based on motion in the surrounding region. If any motion is detected, the lights will turn on.
• Automatic light system depending on natural light (without controller)
  This project automates turning on the lights in the evening, when the sun sets, based on the intensity of available sunlight. The lights will turn on and off according to the sunlight intensity.
• Accident avoiding and alerting system
  This project aims to create an accident-avoiding and alerting system for a car or any vehicle. This system will use ultrasonic sensors to detect the obstacles in front of the vehicles. These inputs will be used to alert the users and prevent potential accidents.
• Automatic Fan switch depending on temperature (Without controller)
  This project automates the turning on and off the fan based on the surrounding weather conditions. The fan will have a provision to monitor the temperature in the area and automatically turn on if it exceeds a specified threshold.
• Smart irrigation System

Topics for IoT-based projects using RFID/Bluetooth/Wi-Fi

These project ideas based on IoT will cover the use of networks, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and RFID, These topics are great for an IoT project.

• Smart Shopping trolley
  Everyone loves to visit shopping malls, it's cool but when it comes to billing all the charm has vanished, the billing queues in shopping malls, and supermarkets are so boring and time-consuming process, ever wondered what if, the time required for these billing queues is directly reduced to zero? This topic is inspired by the same idea, thus this innovative project idea aims to solve the issues of billing queues by considering the items put into trolleys in real-time.
  This trolley is an advanced version of existing trolleys, specifically designed for use in shopping malls and supermarkets. When the user puts items in the trolley, it will display the added items along with their prices.
• Home automation system
  This smart home system allows appliances to be controlled via mobile phone or any internet-connected device. Users can turn appliances on and off remotely.
• Smart college bell
  When a set timer has elapsed, the bell will ring, and after a few seconds, it will stop automatically. Users can schedule the bell.
• Wireless Notice Board Using Dot matrix display
  This notice board features a dot matrix display that can be placed in colleges, shops, or any location to display content. The content can be updated wirelessly, and users can control the message displayed on the DMD.
• Smart Entry Using RFID
  This system monitors the entry and exit of people, specifically in offices and colleges. The entry and exit will be recorded using RFID cards.
• Smart attendance system
  Similar to the smart entry system, the attendance system also utilizes RFID to keep a record of students' attendance, their IN times, and their OUT times without any manual intervention.
• Smart light control

Topics for projects using Arduino / microcontrollers

These project ideas cover the use of microcontrollers such as Arduino, esp32, 8051, etc.

• Smoke detector alarm system
  Build a smoke detector to protect your home from unexpected fire hazards, build a smoke detection alarm system using Arduino and a MQ135 gas sensor

  

• Smart Petrol Pump system
• Water level indicator
  This project monitors the water level for household purposes. Once a specific level is reached, an alarm system can be triggered to notify the user about the water level.
• Smart mobile charging station
  This project aims to create a mobile charger system
• Solar-based charging station
  This project aims to create a mobile charging system based on solar power, there is no external electricity is used for this purpose, but the solar energy is harnessed to charge the mobile
