Overall Champions

Rakshakaranya is an innovative camouflaged autonomous terrestrial rover equipped with a computationally light YOLO V4 Tiny object detection model. This technology allows Rakshakaranya to detect illegal deforestation, poaching, invasive species, landmines, wildfires, and wildlife moving into residential areas. Upon detecting an anomaly, Rakshakaranya uses a visual odometry model to calculate the displacement from the point of deployment and then notifies the concerned authorities via a LoRa transceiver.
