This project represents the use of Generative Design (GD) tool to come up with a new design for the Quadcopter Chassis. The chassis has to be significantly lighter than the conventional versions yet strong enough to sustain flight conditions. It also has to meet strict parameters for weight, stress and deformation in different load cases and in the time of crash. Generative Designed chassis is 65% lighter than the conventional version. It has more strength, better aesthetic appeal and perform better than the the generic model.

A team of Mechanical and Electronics engineering students from Dayananda Sagar Institutions (DSI) has integrated virtual reality with robotics to enable users to see and communicate at a place remote to their present position. The students are making use of a robot with a camera mounted on it, along with the virtual reality experience.

The Mechanical Engineering students worked on the chassis design and provided electronics students a clear frame to properly organize their electronic components mounting and conceal the wiring. With this perfect blend, they came up with a wonderful design and implementation of this application with the use of Autodesk Fusion 360 Generative Design (GD).

Before GD:

• Material used for Chassis: U-PVC pipes
• Weight of the Chassis: 6.7 kg

After GD:

• Material used for Chassis: Nylon
• Weight of the Chassis: 775 grams

ClubFoot is the real life solution for the people who are affected by polio. MNIT students are designing Clubfoot to give 90% solution for the complete ankle movement.

A bicycle that is recyclable, quick to fabricate and highly repeatable. As part of an earlier course, Materials and Manufacturing Processes, the students were looking at the various possibilities with bamboo. Eventually the students came up with a unique solution to standardize bamboo and its dimensions so that it can be used for engineering and design purposes.

It is essential for diabetics to store thier insulin between 2-8oC to ensurethat it stays effective. nSUL1n is an IOT based smart portable cooler that stores insulin between 2-80C.

Knuckle is a component that holds the complete load of a vehicle. It actually connects the control arm and the hub of a vehicle and critical components of racing vehicle.

Features:

• 3-Axis milling Manufacturing method
• Generative design for Knuckle optimization
• 65% Lighter with material Aluminum 7075
• Original Design - 4 Kg; Generative Design - 1.4 Kg

This project focuses on a new methodology for special purpose machines (SPM), which are designed and manufactured for specific jobs. Such machines are finding increasing use in industries.

On conventional machines, the time required to complete one job is comparitively more. Also on conventional machines, it is required to load and unload the job two or more times, because of which productivity decreases, and that results in financial losses. To overcome this problem, SPM design is required to carry out all the operations at a time, to reduce machining time as well as loading and unloading time. Students have used Autodesk Fusion 360 Generative Design Workspace to optimize the fixture Manufacturer Auto Components and Machine Tool Assembly (Cygnet International).

Features:

• 88% Lighter and 20% stronger SPM Fixture
• Design Development SPM for Shaft (SK2664 ) using Fusion 360
• Productivity improvement using combined SPM for wheel cylinder-honed part
• Generative design for hydraulic fixture optimization
• Consolidated 3 components into 1 part
• Original Design - 4 Kg; Generative Design - 0.48 Kg
• Material: Aluminum

Team statrted their journey at the Armed Forces Medical College Pune (AFMC), where they learned requirements for orthosis patients. A need for the development in the Ankle Section was identified to solve the Problem of FOOT DROP, with present mechanism not being able to deliver. They studied the various movements of the ankle joint, the gait cyle under the guidance of Doctor. Medical Device is printed using Prusa-MK2S and followed electronics incorporation adn assemlbly of every part to forum with high performance sensors, accurate gaint cycles achieved with close to normal rehabilitation.

Kawach is a roadster bicycle which aims at reducing road accidents in urban areas. It enhances rider's safety by integrating light solutions for proper communication with other mobility modes. Kawach is equipped with safety features, like integrated headlight, indicator, and horn. To further reduce road mishaps, the cycle is finished with radium stickers for more visibility. The other features include integrated motion lights in pedal and mudguards. It also ensures electrical component safety against theft.

MEDCOPTER is a six motor powered drone equipped with 2 high resolution HD cameras, onboard electric supply and some basic medical equipment, which can be useful to save someone's life until the ambulance reaches the destination. MEDCOPTER is equipped with the capability of running and flying, which gives it advantage over just a flying drone. Reaching to remote places in time, where flying of drone is usually not possible and medical resources take time to reach, can now be possible with MEDCOPTER. The tank design tire mechanism allows for 360 degree position viewing from the onboard camera, where the user can decide if a ground or air approach is the best for overcoming any obstacle.

Smart Emergency Lantern XP-1 was developed to help flood affected people in Kerala. Flood victims were striving in darkness as there was no electricity supply for days. Student came up with an idea to use Fusion 360 and develop a multipurpose emergency lamp, which mainly consist of a 5W lamp and a 1W torch. It’s an IOT-based project and allows for every setting to be controlled by mobile phone or voice assistants, like Google Home and Alexa. It provides ample light intensity to brighten a hall and uses an omnidirectional light diffuser to provide light to all directions. It has a USB port that can be used to charge the phone and can be connected to 3W 2-inch speaker. One can also use it to listen to music through USB, AUX cable, or Bluetooth FM radio. The major advantage is that it has a solar charging panel and requires only 3-4 hours of sunlight to charge up.

Most of the 60+ million diabetic patients in India may be unaware of the looming threat of foot ulcers leading to amputation. High glucose in blood can lead to neuropathy - damage of nerve cells and loss of sensation, especially on foot. Hidden injuries are not felt, do not heal, become ulcers, and if untreated lead to gangrene and require amputations - ranging from toe to entire leg. Current diagnostic methods include checking perception of touch, vibration and temperature stimuli applied to the foot sole of patients. These tests are subjective - relying on the experience of specialists - diabetologists and podiatrists and perceived response of patients and therefore inaccurate. Advanced tests, like ABI and vascular screening, remove the subjectivity, but are expensive and unavailable in most hospitals. The proposed smart diabetic foot screening device overcomes the above limitations. It integrates all three stimuli - touch, vibration and temperature in a single unit and automates the process, thereby making it easy to use by general practitioners and paramedics. The touch perception by monofilament is replaced by a more reliable tissue stiffness measurement unit.
