ultimately saves the waiting time at the restaurants.
 Microcontroller Based Anesthesia Injector: This project implements an
automatic anesthesia injecting machine using microcontroller. In this,
microcontroller unit along with keypad and syringe infusion pump injects the
anesthesia in terms of millimeter per hour as per the set timings and dose
entered through keypad.
 Microcontroller Based Stout Robot with Automatic Crack Detection in
Railways: In this project, a prototype model of robotic vehicle is
implemented to detect the cracks on railway tracks using microcontroller. This
project consists of LED/LDR sensors assembly, microcontroller, DC motors,
GPS and GSM modules. Upon detecting the cracks, this robot conveys the
exact location of the crack information to remote mobile using GSM module.
 Displaying Custom Animation on LCD (8-Bit Mode) using ATMEGA16
