IDEAS INCUBATED AT MITE – PHASE 2 (2020-21)
MED E-Drones
INR 2.55 Lakhs
The team aims to cater to a large Indian population that still has issues accessing emergency medical facilities. Lack of medical infrastructure, poor road conditions worsen the cases during emergencies and cases when first-hand medical aid is essential to prevent casualty. The team is working on developing a Medical Emergency Drone which can travel faster and mitigate infrastructural issues. The drone can give AED in emergency cases, carry the medicines so that a trained practitioner at the scene would have not been possible. This drone would help stabilize the patient till the medical services arrive or the patient could be taken over to a nearby hospital which can be critical.
AGUA – The Smart Water Bottle
INR 2.46 Lakhs
Smart water bottles are a huge breakthrough for those of us trying (and sometimes failing) to be healthier. Agua the Smart bottle, tracks users’ water intake and is typically sync with a mobile phone app to keep hydration cues updated in real-time and chart the goals. This bottle is one of the best smart water bottles for those who need constant reminders because it glows to remind the user to keep drinking water. The smart bottle is accustomed to an app that would have BMI information and also provides workout routine or extra goals that need to be achieved.
The Food Ambulance
INR 2.65 Lakhs
The team of Computer Engineers intends to tap on the avenues of food delivery services at night in tier 2 cities. The Food Ambulance is being developed to have on-demand food delivery services with additional features for night mode, subscriptions & food levels when compared to the features that customers are enabled with the current food delivery ecosystem. It will be all one place for all the food cravings with exhaustive features.
ShieldX
INR 2.69 Lakhs
The team is developing polarised windshield glasses for cars as the light is usually scattered in all directions, but when it’s reflected from flat surfaces, it tends to become polarised and this creates an annoying effect and sometimes tends to become dangerous causing glare and reduces visibility. Polarised lenses contain a special filter that blocks this type of intense reflected light, reducing glare. The team is using a composition of polarised glasses for the windshield. These are anti-glare glasses that will protect eyes from Troxler’s effect and ensure clarity and control by transforming distorted and distracting light into a crystal clear view.
SprayIT
INR 2.33 Lakhs
The team is developing an intelligent sprayer for the areca nut plantations as it is a predominant crop in the Dakshina Kannada region. The machine will optimize the chemical spraying mechanism by spraying only the required amount of chemical to areca nuts, which are developed using machine learning algorithms. The project indeed is a savior for the farmers who are witnessing a dearth of skilled labor already. The machine with its detachable tool heads enables the operator to use the product as a sprayer or harvester. The camera-based system reduces workload, achieves high safety, and also reduces the fatigue of laborers.
Nutri-Track
INR 2.45 Lakhs
The team is developing a portable Instant NPK Analyser to aid farmers. The user-friendly device would test the soil instantaneously, accurately and would be cost-effective. This instrument is a step towards helping farmers to pursue scientific farming. While this would tremendously help in reducing soil degradation and exploitation due to excessive use of fertilizers it also would be a step towards improving productivity due to usage of the right fertilizer in the right quantity. The idea will also be associated with a Mobile Application that will predict the amount of fertilizers required for a particular crop the farmer wants to grow. A non-poisonous healthy food can be produced.
Accelerlab Technologies
INR 2.68 Lakhs
Arecanut is one of the important commercial crops of India and is concentrated in the South Western and North Western regions of India. Their grading is done normally into four types based on their quality and is done manually and is laborious. The team is automating the process using image processing techniques and Artificial Intelligence, to dehusks and grade it as per the quality by extracting the features. The team intends to improve on the efficiency and also the time of operation for the de-husking and grading.
AirAlong
INR 2.72 Lakhs
A major issue that bicycle riders face is unexpected flat tires and with an annual production of around 15 million units in India, the team looks at developing a viable solution to this issue. Unlike four-wheelers, riders cannot carry a puncture kit with them. To add to the woe, garages are not to be found too often on the Indian roads. The team is developing a kit that would be embedded near the suspension system. The linear motion of the suspension would be used to compress air into the compressor. This would be a plug-in that is compact, efficient, and feasible.
Touch Reno
INR 2.40 Lakhs
The team is developing a mobile application that will allow the customer to design or renovate the interior using their Phone. With a click of the space and the user would be able to virtually place furniture and other interior elements, view them, and plan a layout through the application. A user would then be able to compare different products, their sizes, and also the price. Then the user would be able to order the same products using the app. The user would also have options to take professional help through the consultants and reduce the chaos and trouble of designing the interiors.
Synchronous
INR 2.55 Lakhs
The team is deploying a platform-GODSend for the police force, firefighters, hospitals, or any emergency squad to get instant and briefly described scenarios of an incident around their locality or even beyond. The process initiates with a click, from the app on the user’s phone who captures photographs of the scenario. The app analyzes the image using Machine learning algorithms and the details like precise location of the capture such as city, locality as well as landmark which will be fetched from geolocator along with captured image and will be sent to firebase. This will be sorted and categorized to be displayed in the web front end to monitor, quickly respond and act immediately to reduce further damage or catastrophic effects.
