RSET IEDC Project Funding
RSET IEDC funded 5 student hobby projects which have a potential of transforming to
product. The total amount spends for this was Rs. 22,000. The details of each project are
given below.
1. Drainage Cleaning Robot
Though automation plays a vital role in all industrial applications, proper disposal of sewages
from industries and commercials are still a challenging task. In India the process of cleaning
or scavenging is done by manual labors and it’s one of the unhygienic jobs you can ever
imagine. More than thousands of people die every year doing these jobs. To overcome this
problem and for the betterment the human life, we design an “unmanned drainage Cleaning
System”. This project could be an efficient tool for management and maintenance of our
drains. Globally speaking, traditional method of sewage cleaning demands high economic
expenses mostly in terms of water and machinery requirement for the cleaning process.
Moreover, this cleaning job neglects one’s dignity and self-respect. Manual scavenging
laborers are vulnerable to health hazards. In India, Manual scavenging is a caste-based
occupation mainly involving cleaning septic tanks, sewers and gutters. So from our point of
view we prefer to automating drainage cleaning for well-functioning and proper waste
management in cities.
RSET IEDC Report 2017
Page 39
This is an efficient and compactable solution to the present drainage problems. The
unmanned underwater mover is capable of detecting and removing sewage by using its
obstruction detection IR sensors and conveyor mechanism. An off terrain propulsion is
provided using caterpillar tracks powered by dc motors under water. An optimized water jet
cleanser is provided which utilizes drainage water to remove blocks and obstructions. A
conveyor with fork attachments serve as efficient hand picker’s .This waste is then
accumulated in a replaceable storage module with waste level indicator. A proper tracking
mechanism which enables the operator to detect the position coordinates. The storage module
can be easily replaced by the operator.
This project would be an excellent remedy to one of the unethical and sympathetic taboo in
today’s society. We being working on this project from our second semester has presented
this project on different platforms including SAVISKAR 2017, INDO-FRENCH WASTE
MANAGEMENT SUMMIT. We think this project demand a budget of Rupees 35,000

2. Hover Pacifier for special children
Children on the autism spectrum face many issues and challenges on day to day basis. Child
with autism is a unique individual, with unique needs and abilities. Because of this, he or she
will experience those issues in a unique way or may experience obsessive compulsion. Their
main challenges are persistent difficulties, restricted or repetitive patterns of behaviour and
RSET IEDC Report 2017
Page 41
may be hypersensitive to certain sounds, also they have co- morbidities. The autistic child can
be calmed by playing their favourite song while they get irritated.
The proposed project explores the possibility of a miniature drone that could possible locate
the autistic kid and play music that would pacify the child. Specifically this mini project is
planned to design and build a drone configuration capable of being remotely controlled to fly
over to the child. The design considers various aspects of the power supply, trajectory
optimization and control design.
The mini project deals with the first phase of the mini drone that alert the adult and identifies
the shrill sound and flies over to autistic kid to play the melody which will pamper the kid till
the parent/care reaches. The real time observation the kid can be done by the camera installed
in drone. As a stretch goal of the mini project, is to design and model an autonomous drone to
sense the high frequency sounds produced by the autistic child during the hyper reactivity
problems and to calm down them by playing melodies for them.
Hover drone design with a sensor to monitor the autistic child. When the child makes shrill
sound or gets irritated, the device detects the behaviour and informs the caretaker by passing
message to the concerned phone or laptop.

3. Smart Braille Machine
This project aims to help the blind by developing a phone with Braille keypad. This project
makes use of embedded system based on PIC 16F877, a micro controller which is the main
part of the system.
We make use of a Button switch keypad. There is a fixed keys combination for each
character. User can convey messages by pressing each combination keys one by one. For
each combination, controller stores corresponding characters in microcontroller. By pressing
send button all the text is send to android phone through Bluetooth module.
In android side, we could speech out the text and also any voice message can be displayed in
braille machine, and in embedded side we have two operations. One is by sign language we
can communicate to android via Bluetooth module. And other is, in braille machine we could
display the message from android side for the blind. By using their fingers, they can read text
and message from android phone is fed to the input of six Servo motors by the same
Bluetooth module. We can give input to android phone via speech or text.
RSET IEDC Report 2017
Page 43
A text to Braille converter is intended to aid the blind to interact with computers at
workplaces and homes. Though several such devices are available, the cost is a limiting
factor. Blind people face a great difficulty in receiving computer education due to the lack of
low cost technological support. Facilities for the sightless have been organized in different
places for providing reading facilities to the blind. These centres maintain archives of reading
materials (literature, science, etc.) in the form of Braille coded texts.
Scalabilty
This project is highly scalable. With enough funds it is a possible to build a Braille phone.
Most smart phones have touch screens and hence it’s not user-friendly for the blind. This
phone could overcome the limitations that smart phones have.

5.KiCheck - Check Mate all your Kitchen problems
Problem Identification
We have all run into trouble when we are all set to cook something and we find that we don’t
have enough curry powder left. Another reason for such a situation is that, while we are out
shopping we cannot be quite sure if we are running low on something or not. Cupboards we
use to store spices are often messed up.
RSET IEDC Report 2017
Page 49
The solution
KiCheck makes use of sensors to track the amount of curry powder left and when it falls
below a pre-determined level, the product notifies the user. Automated system to notify users
directly onto their smartphone.
We have all run into trouble when we are all set to cook something and we find that we don’t
have enough curry powder left. Another reason for such a situation is that, while we are out
shopping we cannot be quite sure if we are running low on something or not! Kicheck will be
a smart solution that will turn any ordinary kitchen into a one that frees you of all the troubles
associated with cooking. The base model will be a smart box that tracks the level of different
condiments in the jar using light sensors and if a commodity falls below a predetermined
level. It will automatically add it to your shopping list or send a push notification to the
registered phone.
A CAD model of the primary design
A microcontroller or an Arduino board will be used to track the sensor reading and relay the
information to the cloud. The levels can be tracked on a web interface or on a dedicated
android application. Going a step further we’d also love to bring in more helping hands into
the kitchen. We are looking forward to developing solutions that’ll minimize energy and
water wastage and of course the hassle associated with all these.
RSET IEDC Report 2017
Page 50
The problems we’d love to tackle include:
Monitor pressure cookers for whistles
Watching milk from getting spilled
Exhaust/chimneys that only run when there is smoke
Fridges that won’t let cold air to rush out when opened
Lids that tell you something has boiled
And many more….
Marketing and Scaling
Construction companies and builders will be contacted to launch our product in one of their
floors in their new flats being constructed. The benefits of using KiCheck will be
demonstrated. It will be installed at a minimal cost so as to attract attention to the product.
Forms of advertisements will also be used for marketing.
Revenue Model
Initial investment required is less and good profit can be made from the second year onwards.
Initially the product will be introduced for users at a minimal cost so as to build a user base
and to get recommendations from other builders and customers. Services for setting up
Ammek Ariyam and after sales service will be provided.

Traffitizer technologies Pvt Ltd is a start-up registered as a Private Limited Company in
Kochi. The company is formed by Mohamed Jasim M and Muhammed Sadique UK.
‘Traffitizer technologies’ is born with an objective of solving the problems in road traffic,
improving the emergency response time and improving all the aspects related to road and
transportation with the help of advanced technology. Due to the sudden increase in city
population, number of causalities and crime rate has increased along with the emergency
response time. Emergency Response System is an invention owned by Traffitizer
Technologies, capable of reducing the emergency response time to several extend. Traffitizer
Technologies have advisors from the core sectors such as, a retired engineer from Keltron, a
PhD scholar in road and transportation engineering at IIT Bombay, Kochi City Police
Commissioner, etc... We give prior importance to maintain quality rather than quickly finding
the solution.
Traffitizer Technologies incorporated as a Private Limited Company on 02 February 2016.

develop the entire system and maintain the product. The company requires approval from the
road and transportation related departments. Once the product is identified as relevant and
good, the product has to be considered for implementation in India.
Emergency Response System (ERS) is capable of reducing the emergency response time to
great extends especially in cities with huge traffic. The system is capable of identifying
emergency vehicles from a fair distance and turn traffic signal to green with an alarm to alert
people for an abnormal signal change. The cloud based system composed of less hardware
devices compared to any other existing systems and have more advanced features. The
system is capable of providing pre-emption for multiple emergency vehicles in FIFO, priority
based, Zone based, etc… The entire system is based on an invention, Intelligent Zones and
sub-zones which is patent pending (Appl. Nu: 201641000564). The concept of Intelligent
Zones makes the system efficient, cost effective and reliable compared to similar existing
system. The initial version of the system is developed and tested under various conditions.

2. Goretreat.com (Faculty Startup Incubated in RSET)
Goretreat.com is a retreat booking website (web-application) where retreat centers can
publish their offerings and prospective attendees can search, find and book them in the
RSET IEDC Report 2017
Page 54
convenience of their homes. The concept was perceived in the year 2011 by Fr. Jaison Paul
Mulerikkal, when he was doing his PhD at the Australian National University. He found out
that many of his friends were struggling to find a proper retreat centre for their annual retreats
or to spend some time in quite during their holidays. There isn't any site, which consolidated
retreat offerings of various centres where people could directly book a retreat online.
He started to work on this project, mainly during his free times, as a hobby. Slowly, there
emerged a small enthusiastic team of people who were determined to pull this project up.
They came from different parts of the world - Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra,
Stuttgart, Kochi, Bangalore and many more – and started to work together as a team
remotely, to make this dream come true. The domain – www.goretreat.com - was registered
in the year 2013. He re-joined Rajagiri School or Engineering & Technology (RSET) n 2013
and some of his students also joined the goretreat.com term. Interestingly, the volunteer
project manager of goretreat.com – Mrs Rita Lijo – joined RSET to pursue her M Tech
(CSIS), while continue to work as its project manager.
The project raised initial investment through a crowd funding effort at Kickstarter.com. A
legal entity to house goretreat.com was constituted under the auspices of CMI Sacred Heart
Province, Kochi (to which Fr. Jaison belongs) under a new and separate entity called – St.
Chavara Media Trust on 1stNovevmber 2016. The organizational structure and team members
RSET IEDC Report 2017
