1.Abhishek Goyal, Gurpartap Singh, Kunal Singla and Mainik Walia made the project “Sky Robot” under the guidance of Dr. Arvind Dhingra .This robot is to help maintain a vigil against unwanted intruders. The robot is so designed so as to work effectively during day and night with same efficiency. The robot is capable of sending an alarm in case of any unwanted activity. This will help our soldiers guarding our borders to maintain effective vigil.

2. Santokh Singh, Sapandeep Singh,Simranjeet Singh and Harpreet Singh made the project “Palace Power Saver” under the guidance of Pf. Arshdeep Kaur. One of the major reason for designing this project, is the wastage of electricity especially at palaces, libraries, hostels, hotels, cinemas, parking and offices, where no one take responsibility to switch off the electrical equipment. This project is based on an intelligent electricity system which automatically switched off the light/equipment when the room will empty.
