Students of KDK college, Electronics branch, Saurabh, Sudeep, Ashish, Rahul ,Priti and Monika displaying their Project model ‘Inspection Transmission Line using a Robot’.  Explaining their invention, they said “In power transmission lines, patrolling for faults and damages are done manually. We have developed a robot that can be sent to long distances transmission lines to detect faults. A camera is also installed in it by which a visual message can be sent to the base station by which faults can be detected at a very early stage and it is also less time consuming.”

Mudhukarrao Pandav Engineering College, Mechanical Engineering branch students, Jayendra, Kiran , Sainath and Tushar have developed and designed an ‘Automated Tricycle’ for physically challenged people which runs on a battery charger for about 60 kilometers. They said, “We are participating for the first time in such an event and the response and experience is amazing.”

Anand Kamble, Swapnil Chinchodkar and Jeevan of Shree Datta Meghe College have designed a ‘Staircase Trolley’ which can be very useful in malls, construction purposes as well as for domestic purposes.
