What they'll ask you

13

Generated from the brief's own wording and the competition's published rules, never from a guess about what this ministry prefers.

What specific categories of biomedical waste must be recognized?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
What hardware components are expected for the autonomous mobile system?
The brief never answers this, so a panel will. Whatever you decide, say it the same way twice.
Has any part of this been shown at a previous event, hackathon or college project?
The guidelines are explicit: your solution must not have appeared in any previous event or programme, of any sort. A recycled project is what a team under time pressure reaches for.

The brief asks for ai vision system. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26115 itself: An AI-enabled vision system to classify biomedical waste. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for segregation mechanism. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26115 itself: Intelligently segregates waste into designated compartments. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for digital tracking. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26115 itself: Provides end-to-end traceability for the collected waste. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for autodesk fusion cad model. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26115 itself: A fully developed 3D design model created in Autodesk Fusion. The brief asks for it by name.
The brief asks for simulation and analysis. How would you build that?
Decoded from SIH26115 itself: Includes motion studies, exploded assembly views, and generative design optimization. The brief asks for it by name.
Where does your data come from: a published source, one you collect, or one you generate?
No dataset is attached to this problem statement, so sourcing it is part of the work and nobody told you that.
Why not use what already exists? Name the closest thing to this that is already running.
A team that has not named the alternative themselves is answering this for the first time in the room.
Which single thing will you demonstrate end to end, start to finish, with nothing skipped?
Ours, not a rule: a narrow thing that fully works survives questioning better than a broad thing that half works. If nobody on the team can name it, that is the finding.
Show me this working: the jury will check that the design was created exclusively in Autodesk Fusion during the Grand Finale and includes a public link to the model.
This is the evaluator read for your problem statement, decoded from the brief's own wording.
Show me this working: they will also look for simulation, motion studies, exploded assembly views, and high-resolution rendered images.

The government's original description (344 words)

• Description Healthcare facilities generate large volumes of biomedical waste that require safe, compliant, and efficient handling. Manual collection and segregation increase the risk of contamination, operational inefficiencies, and regulatory challenges. Design and develop an AI-powered, battery-electric autonomous mobile system that automates the collection, identification, segregation, and digital tracking of biomedical waste across hospitals. The solution should leverage AI-enabled vision systems to classify waste, intelligently segregate it into designated compartments, and provide end-to-end traceability while minimizing human exposure to hazardous materials and improving safety, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Using Autodesk Fusion, students must demonstrate a complete product development lifecycleâ€”from concept ideation to manufacturing-ready product, delivering an innovative, scalable, and solution for next-generation healthcare waste management. • Participation Guidelines For Idea Submission: • Each student team will submit a PowerPoint presentation (5-7 Slides) with conceptual sketches, research, and relevant images. • NO design files are required at this stage. The actual design must be created ONLY during the Grand Finale. • Designs should be created using ONLY Autodesk Fusion and not copied or taken from any other source. • AI Generated content is NOT ALLOWED. For Grand Finale: Students must use Autodesk Fusion within the given time period and present: • PPT explaining the final project • Public link of the fully developed Autodesk Fusion design model • Use of Generative Design for optimization will be an added advantage. • Simulation and Analysis will be advantageous • Motion study and exploded assembly view • Hi-res rendered images • Design should be capable of developing a prototype with a focus on Cost, Manufacturability, Scalability, and Quality. Note: Teams coming with pre-designed files will be disqualified. • Attach Marking Criteria Table here* • Faculty (SIH SPOC) Form Teams choosing to submit idea for Autodeskâ€™s problem statement are required to request their faculty (SIH SPOC) to fill this 'Mandatory Form'. • Autodesk Fusion • Autodesk Fusion is a cloud-based 3D modeling, CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB software platform for professional product design and manufacturing. • Students and educators can click here to get FREE access to Fusion.
