   Developed an end-to-end remote labs solution that offers a comprehensive and immersive laboratory experience. The solution consists of five carefully designed experiments accessible through a user-friendly dashboard incorporating live-streaming capabilities. Key features of the solution include low-cost and modular setups, miniaturized configurations, simultaneous access to a single setup, and low-latency live streaming. These features enable users to remotely access and interact with the experiments in real-time, creating a dynamic and engaging learning environment. The successful implementation of this remote lab solution showcases proficiency in designing and deploying innovative technologies to enhance practical learning experiences. This project received the Best Poster Award at Hyderabad, recognizing its innovative approach and impact. Additionally, the project was supported by a TIH-IoT CHANAKYA Fellowship, further validating its significance in the field.
