M2M Deep Tech Innovation Challenge

Problem Statement:

Autonomous garbage collector robot in sea

Problem Category:

Deep Tech

Problem Description:

Sea has a lot of plastic waste floating on the surface as well as submerged in water. Due to salty water, some plastic material breaks into smaller parts which are dangerous for the ecosystem.

What Exact Problem is being Solved?:

Removal of plastic and hazardous material from Seawater 

Critical Parameters to be considered:

-

Solution Needed:

Develop an autonomous robot that can collect this plastic waste. These robots should work in continuous mode. These robots should work 3-5 km in the sea away from shore. Also, robots should collect hazardous material like oil & chemical spilt.

Users:

Ports

Expected Outcomes:

Removal of plastic items from seawater

Impact:

Cleaner seawater, less polluted water, revitalizing marine ecosystem providing direct and indirect benefits to citizens.

Problem Statement:

Responding to Swarm Drone attack

Problem Category:

Deep Tech

Problem Description:

Drone-based attack on any target is a bigger threat to the security of Govt as well as Private key establishments. Need a system to thwart such an attack.

What Exact Problem is being Solved?:

Responding to attack from Swarm of Drones.

Critical Parameters to be considered:

-

Solution Needed:

Users:

Defence Org, Private Org

Expected Outcomes:

Thwarting of attacks and saving lives as well as material.

Revenue for solution provider

Impact:

Protection of lives and security of establishments, helping defence as well as a Private organization.

Problem Statement:

Space debris identification

Problem Category:

Deep Tech

Problem Description:

Identifying debris orbiting around earth in space. This debris can be fatal due to size and velocity and can damage satellites immensely.

What Exact Problem is being Solved?:

Space debris to be identified and removed so that satellite launches can be safe, as well as Satellites rotating around the earth, shall not face any impact due to collision with debris.

Critical Parameters to be considered:

-

Solution Needed:

-

Users:

ISRO, ESA, NASA, any space launching organization

Expected Outcomes:

Identification of Space debris and estimating possible occurrences. Removal of Space debris could be very profitable.

Impact:

Space debris causes a major impact on Space satellite launch. If the debris in the field is not cleared then it may delay the launch of satellites.
