ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Engineering is a branch of Science and Technology where society expects lots of innovation and creativity
from engineers. But today’s education system has become very stereotype which just follows the traditional
teaching learning process. This needs to be change in order to have maximum contribution from engineering
students to the Society.
First of all we conclude that our group and the topic we worked on was helped by our guides. Our guide prof.
Dhaval Nrmohi and Head of Department Dr. Rakesh patel is very knowledgeable and helpful for the
instructions and special guidance. They cleared our basic of this topic and provided right direction during
making of this project.
Design Engineering is a general term that covers multiple engineering disciplines including Information
Technology engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, aeronautical engineers, civil engineers,
computer engineers, Information technology and structural/building/architectural engineers. The uniting
concept is a focus on applying the ‘engineering design process, in which engineers develop new products or
processes with a primary emphasis on functional utility.
While industrial designers may be responsible for the conceptual aesthetic and ergonomic aspects of a design,
the design engineer usually works with a team of engineers and other designers to develop conceptual and
detailed designs. They may work with industrial designers and marketers to develop the product concept and
specifications, and may direct the design effort.
Radio-controlled cars use a common set of components for their control and operation. All cars require a
transmitter, which has the joysticks for control, or in pistol grip form, a trigger for throttle and a wheel for
turning, and a receiver which sits inside the car. The receiver changes the radio signal broadcast from the
transmitter into suitable electrical control signals for the other components of the control system.
INDEX
Our group is working on a designing of ROBOTIC RC CAR which can be used for student and teachers
to get right information about HOSPITALITY, WAR ZONE and TERRORIST ATTACK.
We started this topic to know more about the Technology and designing of a ROBOTIC application.
We discussed and agreed to make this project. We took designs from our guide and started working on it.
We tried to analyze the requirement of our application and started working on it. We collected basics
from different books and gathered in a better way.
We are three in group and all worked together for this project.

AEIOU SUMMARY
3. Mind Mapping Canvas
Mind mapping canvas is a highly effective way of getting information in and out of our brain. Mind
mapping is a creative and logical means of note-taking and note-making that literally “Maps Out” our ideas.
We thought of this system when we saw some students of the students who had problems about
understanding concept of Robotics and got confused.. We wanted to help Students to get understand the
Robotics. We indirectly also helped the Teachers and other interested ones to gain more information about
their specialized field.
4. Empathy Canvas
- Empathy mapping is such a canvas which helps to the people who are finding the solution of a problem,
how they are attached with their product.
- It helps the solution that what are the stake holders, the users, the activities.
- Stakeholder of a solution.
- It shows how the problem solver is directly or indirectly attached with the solution.
- In the empathy mapping, our empathy is related to designing and making a prototype of Chemical
Reaction application. We tried doing it at best.
USERS
The User of our product are
1. Student
2. Operator engineer
3. Miitary officers
4. Radio frequency controller
STAKEHOLDERS
These stakeholders are people which are directly and indirectly related to our product. They provided
funding for row material. Some other common people involved are as below:
In this Empathy canvas, there are two types of stories available as HAPPY stories and SAD stories.
First we discussed about HAPPY story.
HAPPY
SAD
5. Ideation Canvas
In the ideation canvas, we provided you the knowledge related to work out by the peoples, their
situations, problems during the workout and their solutions too.
- People = user
- Situation / location = where your product will work, or how it will work.
PEOPLE
In this portion, we see about the person who works around this field.
Operator: Sets up and operates industrial robot to drill, countersink, and counterbore metallic and
nonmetallic workpieces used to manufacture aircraft parts or tooling, according to specifications and
preprogrammed machine control instructions: Reads work order and specifications to determine prescribed
setup and operation.
Mounts and positions workpiece on locating pins of holding fixture adjacent to robot, manually or using
hoist, and aligns and secures workpiece on holding fixture, using template, bolts, handtools, and power
tools.
Military officer: Operates multiengine cargo and troop hauling aircraft. Organized, planned and performed
duties as representative from evaluations section to squadron ensuring proper tracking of flight evaluation
deadlines. Coordinated and conducted scheduling and liaison duties with support agencies. Coordinated
operations for all environmental, health, and safety functions with organization of 1,500 personnel.
ACTIVITIES
In the activities section, we mentioned all the work done by us and our helpers during this time.
First of all, we get idea about our project from our faculty and guides. Then we have made a plan how
to do our work in team of four members.
After these all we estimated about man power and time requirement for our job.
After that we have decided our platform to implement the app on Android system.
We collected all the basic must have books, references and Research papers from different locations.
We met students and discussed about this initial.

PURPOSE
In this section, we had mentioned those things which make your product different and special
comparing to other available products. We mentioned that what the purpose is of this even there are other
developers making this. Here we take some improvements:
PEOPLE
Following are the people who will get benefit from our project:
Students
Teachers
Laboratory Persons
Industry Employees
PRODUCT EXPERIENCE
In the product experience, a user gives their review related to the product like:
PRODUCT FUNCTIONS
In this section we mentioned the function of our product. It covers the below listed functions:
PRODUCT FEATURES
In this section we mentioned the features of our product. It covers the below listed functions:
COMPONENTS
CUSTOMER REVALIDATION
In this section we wrote the reviews of the customers. They told that the app is easy to understand
and to learn from it is a better way. They are happy about the concept. They wanted us to make UI better.
They also expect a better connectivity, keep the interface less complex and fast transmission.
REJECT, RETAIN AND REDESIGN
In this section we discuss about that things, which is not set in our mind and mistakes happened during
the designs.
The point to reject this project can be the slow transmission problem. But we decided to retain it as we
got positive reviews from the users. We will redesign the Interface, we will make sure that it is not complex
to use. As it has a better connectivity, we will retain this.

8. Conclusion
Thus, by carrying out above activities, we came to know about limitations in existing systems and
hence tried to solve them in best possible way to satisfy all the unmet needs of the user. This was possible
because of the prior art of the search activity due to which we got in-depth knowledge about the components
and technology to be used in our system.
