“…The project faced resistance from its very inception and witnessed multiple implementation issues. Some of the key challenges faced included the acquisition of land, which was under dispute between the government and private landowners, the arrangement of funding from private developers for the project because the government alone could not bear the entire cost, forced eviction of people resulting in resistance from inhabitants and poor community participation, poor access to infrastructure and facilities due to lack of coordination between government agencies and poor planning of operations and maintenance of facilities postoccupancy (Kumar and Chattopadhyay, 2022).…”

Purpose Housing policies in India (last modified in 2017) define “affordable housing” on three main parameters – income of the target group, dwelling unit size and house price to income ratio. The Covid-19 pandemic has questioned the robustness of the defining parameters of affordable housing. This paper aims to study the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on housing affordability and adequacy for the urban poor and highlights how one pandemic has directly challenged the practicality of the affordable housing criteria in urban India. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on a pilot test conducted through interviews with the consumer group. Furthermore, the affordable housing policies of urban India were studied in conjunction with the pandemic guidelines laid down by the World Health Organization. The consumer responses were analyzed in relation to the policies and guidelines to arrive at the inferences. The secondary case examples of the Dharavi slums in Mumbai and the Savda Ghevra slum resettlement colony in Delhi, along with the findings of the primary survey in the economically weaker section category, are used to formulate the conclusions. Findings The pilot test conducted for the target consumer group clearly indicates that (i) the pandemic has severely affected the housing purchase capacity of the target consumer, thereby questioning the “affordability” of housing; (ii) proposed housing solutions are inadequate to enable livability, thereby questioning the “adequacy” of housing; and (iii) proposed housing solutions are inept to accommodate pandemic protocols. The Covid-19 pandemic and the conditions it imposed on the built environment clearly highlight the inadequacy of affordable housing parameters being followed in urban India. Research limitations/implications Further research may be conducted on global best practices in housing, which may advise the housing policies in India. Practical implications The study suggests key areas that need intervention and modification to make the housing policies more robust and effective. Social implications The study explores the social sustainability aspects of housing, which are often considered secondary in policies. Originality/value Because housing has a direct bearing on the physical, social and mental well-being of society, it is imperative to find housing solutions that are safe and resilient for a sustainable future. This paper is an original attempt by the author to question and highlight how the current affordable housing solutions adopted in urban India will continue to fail under any external adverse conditions unless modifications are considered in the existing housing parameters.

“…A number of researchers have studied the roaming delay and transmission throughput for the same network 12 as well as different networks. 13 One goal of the mobile robot applications that we develop is to use, if possible, the communication facilities present in the buildings where the applications will be installed. The WLAND in the client is responsible for deciding when to scan, evaluate, and roam to a new AP.…”

There is an increasing popularity of mobile robot applications over the Internet. Robots need some kind of wireless communication to receive commands and transmit information to users. This paper describes the problems encountered to keep the mobile robots connected and the solutions adopted. The first problem was related to delays and the very low throughput that occur when the robot roams to a new access point. Most commercial systems currently installed implement proprietary solutions with different behaviors. Here, a simple and device-independent solution for mobile robot applications is proposed. The second problem is the lack of wireless coverage in some areas of buildings. The solutions adopted for these problems are based on coverage maps.
