Design and Develop a Smart Mobile Medical-Waste Collection and Segregation System

• Description Healthcare facilities generate large volumes of biomedical waste that require safe, compliant, and efficient handling. Manual collection and segregation increase the risk of contamination, operational inefficiencies, and regulatory challenges.

Design and develop an AI-powered, battery-electric autonomous mobile system that automates the collection, identification, segregation, and digital tracking of biomedical waste across hospitals. The solution should leverage AI-enabled vision systems to classify waste, intelligently segregate it into designated compartments, and provide end-to-end traceability while minimizing human exposure to hazardous materials and improving safety, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

Using Autodesk Fusion, students must demonstrate a complete product development lifecycle-from concept ideation to manufacturing-ready product, delivering an innovative, scalable, and solution for next-generation healthcare waste management.

• Participation Guidelines For Idea Submission:
• Each student team will submit a PowerPoint presentation (5-7 Slides) with conceptual sketches, research, and relevant images.
• NO design files are required at this stage. The actual design must be created ONLY during the Grand Finale.
• Designs should be created using ONLY Autodesk Fusion and not copied or taken from any other source.
• AI Generated content is NOT ALLOWED.

For Grand Finale

Students must use Autodesk Fusion within the given time period and present:

• PPT explaining the final project
• Public link of the fully developed Autodesk Fusion design model
• Use of Generative Design for optimization will be an added advantage.
• Simulation and Analysis will be advantageous
• Motion study and exploded assembly view
• Hi-res rendered images
• Design should be capable of developing a prototype with a focus on Cost, Manufacturability, Scalability, and Quality.

Note: Teams coming with pre-designed files will be disqualified.
