Innovative ideas to the fore at TiE University Pitchfest-2021

48 teams of tech students showcase automated battery swapping station for electric vehicles, sewer pipe cleaning robots and more

Automated battery swapping stations that provide for almost instant refuelling of exhausted batteries of electric vehicles, horizontal sewer pipe cleaning robots and floor cleaning devices were among the innovative ideas pitched by students participating in the TiE University Pitchfest 2021 organised by The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) in Mysuru recently. A total of 48 teams from 26 institutions across the State participated in the event. Satyam Raj of Cambridge Institute of Technology, who is working on the automated battery swapping stations, said his pitch involved an innovative battery pack and swapping cable set-up. However, the users will have to visit their battery swapping station.
