(Open for All)
About
The globe is currently in search of resourceful and talented individuals who possess
the ability to devise solutions for various specific challenges swiftly. Embracing
these unique skills is crucial for individuals aspiring to emerge as the next major
player in the technology industry. The National Innovation Competition 2024 -
Technocrats V.2 presents an opportunity for individuals to exhibit their innovative
robotic skills and discover hidden talents through Techathon. Techathon, a fusion
of Technology and Hackathon, gathers like-minded creative and tech-savvy
teams to engage in enjoyable innovation-driven projects involving both hardware
and software. During a Techathon event, participants will be presented with a
coding and hardware-related challenge within a certain period. The organizers will
provide the necessary hardware, while participants must bring laptops to code the
solution. Participants are permitted to utilize any software and access the internet
as needed.
Eligibility
General Rules
• The problem will be given instantly to the team and time will start from then.
• Three times periodic judgment will happen for the assessment of the
project. Each judgment will take place in just after 2 hours. The final
assessment will be the combined form of all the judgments done in the whole
segment.
Demo Examples
Problems
The primary goal of this project is to design and implement an automated door lock
system that can be controlled remotely and offers advanced security features. The
system should be user-friendly, reliable, and compatible with various smart home
devices.
(The Following Hardware will be provided for the above Demo Problem)
Hardware Requirements----
Microcontroller:
Arduino Uno: The central unit responsible for processing input signals and
controlling the lock mechanism.
Locking Mechanism:
Solenoid Lock: To physically lock and unlock the door based on the signals
received from the Arduino. Electronic Strike Lock: As an alternative or additional
locking mechanism for enhanced security.
Servo Motor: To physically lock and unlock the door based on the Arduino PWM
signal, it can also lock the door by rotating feature.
Wi-Fi Module (ESP8266 or ESP32): For remote control and monitoring of the
lock system via a smartphone app or web interface. Bluetooth Module: For local
wireless control via a mobile app.
Power Supply: Battery Backup: Ensuring the system remains operational during
power outages. Power Management Circuit: To manage power distribution and
extend battery life.
Sensors: Door Position Sensor: To detect whether the door is open or closed.
Note: All the hardware required to solve this type of problem will be given to the
participants by the authority. Any kind of software can be used to solve it which
should be installed on the participant’s laptop. Authority will not suggest any
software or compiler to solve the problem. For any further information, please do
contact with authority person’s contact given below. Thank You.
Disclaimer
• The authority holds the right to change the competition rules as required.
• Participants must bring their student ID for the verification process.
• Any participant or team that is found to violate the regulations may be
disqualified by the organizers.
