⚙️ MECHANICAL & MECHATRONICS

Autonomous Smart Drain Cleaning and Blockage Detection System

◈ PROBLEM STATEMENT

Urban and semi-urban areas face frequent flooding due to clogged drainage systems caused by plastic waste, sludge accumulation, and lack of regular inspection. Manual cleaning exposes workers to hazardous gases and unsafe conditions.

◈ CHALLENGE

Design an autonomous or semi-autonomous robotic system capable of:

Detecting drain blockages
Removing solid waste
Monitoring gas levels and water flow conditions

◈ EXPECTED CONCEPTS

Mechanical waste collection mechanism
Motorized mobility in narrow drains
IoT-based monitoring
Sensors (gas, ultrasonic, vision)
Remote operation or autonomous navigation

Smart Public Toilet Hygiene Monitoring and Self-Cleaning System

◈ PROBLEM STATEMENT

Public toilets often become unusable due to poor maintenance, water wastage, and lack of real-time monitoring, creating major sanitation challenges.

◈ CHALLENGE

Develop a self-maintaining smart sanitation unit that:

Monitors cleanliness automatically
Performs automated floor/seat cleaning
Optimizes water usage
Alerts authorities when maintenance is required

◈ EXPECTED CONCEPTS

Mechanical cleaning mechanisms
Automated spray and drying systems
Sensor-based contamination detection
Mechatronic control using microcontrollers
IoT dashboard

Smart Low-Cost Patient Transfer and Lifting Assistance System

◈ PROBLEM STATEMENT

Hospitals and rural healthcare centers face difficulties in safely transferring patients between beds, wheelchairs, and stretchers. Manual lifting causes injuries to caregivers and discomfort to patients.

◈ CHALLENGE

Design an assistive patient transfer system that:

Reduces manual lifting effort
Automatically adjusts height and orientation
Ensures safe patient handling

◈ EXPECTED CONCEPTS

Mechanical lifting mechanisms (scissor lift/hydraulic/electric actuator)
Load sensing and safety locking
Motorized control with embedded system
User-friendly interface

Interactive Mechatronics-Based Learning Desk for STEM Education

◈ PROBLEM STATEMENT

Many schools lack hands-on learning tools, limiting practical understanding of engineering concepts.

◈ CHALLENGE

Develop a modular smart learning desk that:

Demonstrates mechanical mechanisms interactively
Includes programmable sensors and actuators
Supports multiple STEM experiments

◈ EXPECTED CONCEPTS

Mechanical linkage demonstrations
Plug-and-play electronics modules
Embedded programming interface
AR/visual feedback integration

Automated Examination Paper Handling and Sorting System

◈ PROBLEM STATEMENT

Manual handling of examination papers causes delays, errors, and security concerns.

◈ CHALLENGE

Develop a system that:

Automatically sorts answer sheets
Counts and organizes papers securely
Tracks movement digitally

◈ EXPECTED CONCEPTS

Conveyor and mechanical sorting system
Optical recognition
Embedded control
Secure data logging
