CT University’s Department of Robotics and Automation invents Smart Strap for Mask

Ludhiana, January 24, 2022: CT University’s Department of Robotics & Automation has invented a unique idea of Smart Strap for Mask which is highly helpful in the times of COVID and Omicron pandemic.

Having the issue of wearing masks properly, in mind, Dr. Harmeet Singh, Deputy Director IPR Cell, CT University and the inventor of the smart strap have filed a patent that can detect whether the person is covering the nose completely or not. Dr. Harmeet Singh added, “We have used a strap with a sensor that can hold the mask and at the same time can detect the pressure on the neck. The algorithm will detect the position of the mask based upon the pressure on the neck.” The Prototype was developed in the Robotics Lab in just one week. The best part of this sensorized strap is that it can be used with any mask either the surgical mask or N95 mask. Now we are working on Smart N95 mask that can detect the same but with more features.

This Smart Strap Strap is made with the help of Gurkirat Singh, Technician, Robotics & Automation Lab and Satyam Gupta, Student, BCA 3rd year, CT University.

Manbir Singh, Managing Director, CT University said that he is proud of CT University's science and innovation staff who are always engaged in new researches for social security and they make time to time new discoveries that are useful in public safety.

Charanjit Singh Channi, Chancellor and Dr. Harsh Sadawarti, Vice Chancellor were also present at the unveiling of this Smart Strap for Mask.
