PROJECTS

GAYA4 (Goes All Year Around – 4 Seasons)
Autonomous Electric Vehicle Project

We are developing a compact, fully electric autonomous ground vehicle designed for safe, efficient, and low-cost transportation of people and cargo in controlled environments such as campuses, industrial facilities, residential communities, and smart city zones.

The vehicle features a 4-wheel geared motor drive system, optimized for smooth road operation, carrying a total load of approximately 350 kg including passengers and cargo. It is designed for a maximum speed of 40 km/h, prioritizing reliability, stability, and energy efficiency over aggressive acceleration. The system delivers up to 30–60 minutes of continuous operation per charge, making it ideal for short-range urban and institutional mobility.

The platform uses an electric propulsion architecture supported by a high-capacity rechargeable battery system. Integrated autonomous navigation combines sensor-based obstacle detection, real-time control algorithms, and embedded computing to enable self-driving operation without manual steering. The interior layout is configurable, supporting multiple seating arrangements or cargo transport, including versions without a traditional driver section.

The project emphasizes affordability and local manufacturability, using readily available components and modular design to keep production and maintenance costs low. This approach enables rapid deployment and scalability for educational institutions, research facilities, smart transportation pilots, and commercial mobility services.

This autonomous vehicle initiative represents a practical, sustainable step toward the future of intelligent transportation—combining electric mobility, automation, and cost-efficient engineering into a robust real-world platform.

VENDI, the Autonomous Vendor Bot

The Vendor Bot is a compact, self-driving robotic vending system designed to provide convenient on-the-move retail services in indoor and semi-outdoor environments such as campuses, office parks, malls, hospitals, events, and residential communities.

Measuring approximately 2 feet × 2 feet × 2 feet, the robot functions as a mobile mini vending machine, capable of carrying beverages, snacks, medicines, or small consumer products while autonomously navigating pedestrian spaces. It uses a sensor-driven autonomous navigation system with real-time obstacle detection and avoidance, enabling safe movement around people and objects without human supervision.

The Vendor Bot operates on an electric drive system with a rechargeable battery, providing several hours of continuous operation per charge. Its onboard control system integrates embedded computing, localization, path planning, and wireless connectivity, allowing the robot to follow scheduled routes, respond to customer requests, and report operational status to a central management platform.

Designed with modularity and affordability in mind, the Vendor Bot’s structure allows easy customization of storage compartments, payment interfaces (QR, NFC, mobile apps), and display panels. Its small footprint enables deployment in dense environments while maintaining high visibility and customer engagement.

This project demonstrates a practical application of robotics, autonomous navigation, and smart retail technology, offering a scalable, low-cost solution for automated micro-commerce and next-generation retail experiences.

Interactive Educational Doll (Smart Assisted Response Unite - Saru)

The Interactive Educational Doll is a smart, child-friendly learning companion designed to support early childhood education and language development. The doll uses voice interaction, sensors, and simple AI-based responses to engage children in fun, conversational learning activities such as storytelling, vocabulary practice, basic math, and language exercises.

Through games, songs, and question–answer interactions, the doll encourages communication skills, cognitive development, and confidence in young learners. Its soft, safe design and intuitive behavior make it an ideal tool for homes, preschools, and early learning centers, offering a playful yet effective approach to early education.

QuizIt — IoT-Based In-Class Quizzing System

QuizIt is a low-cost, intelligent classroom response system that enables teachers to conduct real-time quizzes, polls, and assessments using dedicated IoT student devices. The system wirelessly collects responses, automatically tracks and stores results, and presents live performance analytics to help educators quickly identify learning gaps and improve student engagement.

All QuizIt data can be securely managed online through a simple web dashboard accessible from a tablet, smartphone, or computer, allowing teachers and administrators to review results, generate reports, and monitor classroom progress anytime. Designed specifically for affordability and ease of use, QuizIt operates without requiring smartphones for students and functions reliably even in low-connectivity environments—making it ideal for schools in both urban and rural settings.
