Economical Mechanical Engineering Innovative Projects

1. Animatronic Hand:

Animatronics is the technology through which we can achieve human like forms of kineticism with the machines. These contrivances can mimic human like actions and can be acclimated to carry out concrete set of industrial actions. Through this mechanical mini project, you will be building an animatronics hand that is controlled with servo motors. The animatronics hand gets input from the microcontroller predicated on the data amassed by the flux sensors annexed to the glove of the wearer.

Cost: Rs. 2000/- per student (4 member team)

2. Robotic Arm:

Robotic arm is being widely implemented in all the industries of today to reduce the human effort and increment the operational efficiency of systems. Robotic arms are an excellent supersession for humans for the works that are dull, perilous and delicate. Through this mechanical mini project, you will be building a robotic arm with 3 degrees of liberation and can be controlled utilizing an Android App. With the inverse & forward kinematics implemented in building the robotic arm, this mini project will provide you a very good learning experience and accommodate as a gateway for you to get into industrial robotics.

Cost: Rs. 2200/- per student (4 member team)

3. Automatic Solar Tracker:

Through this mechanical mini project you will be developing a solar tracking contrivance that can orient itself towards the direction of high intensity sunlight to efficaciously harness maximum solar puissance. This contrivance utilizes a LDR (light dependant resistor) sensor to sense the sunlight intensity and send the data to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then controls the DC motor to move the solar panel and make it orient towards the direction where there is maximum sunlight. This particular solar tracking contrivance in comparison with a conventional solar panel can engender 40% more energy.

Cost: Rs. 2000/- per student (4 member team)

4. Gesture Controlled Robot:

With the number of industries incrementing rapidly, there is a great desideratum for advanced mechanisms that can ameliorate the engenderment efficiency greatly. Robots are one such mechanisms that are being researched vigorously and implemented widely in the industries. Through this mechanical mini project you will build a robot that can be controlled by your hand gestures. These type of robots find its application in virtually all the industries where minimal human interaction is needed to carry out the actions.

Cost: Rs. 1700/- per student (4 member team)

5. Voice Controlled Robot:

Astonished by the way how Apple Siri or Amazon Alexa works? Well now you can learn how they work by building your mechanical mini project on them. Through this voice controlled robot project you will develop a robot that can be controlled utilizing verbalization apperception technology. The robot performs sundry set of actions predicated on the voice input that you give to them and this robotics project finds its application in virtually all the industries of today.

Cost: Rs. 2000/- per student (4 member team)

6. Wi-Fi Controlled Robot:

Controlling robots from a remote location is only possible through internet. And this remote application is required by most of the industries to carry out categorical set of actions. Through this mechanical mini project you will be building a robot that can be controlled through a webpage utilizing Wi-Fi. In integration to availing you learn the robotics concepts, this project will give you a good exposure to the concepts of Wi-Fi communication & integration which is very much needed today.

Cost: Rs. 2000/- per student (4 member team)

7. Automobile Prototype:

With the self-driving cars ruling the streets, the automobile industry is undergoing a drastic transmutation in the recent past. Doing this mechanical mini project will avail you understand more about the automobile mechanisms and avails you greatly in getting into automobile industry. You will build a plenarily functional automobile prototype that will have the steering & suspension mechanisms and can be controlled with a remote. Withal for doing this project you will be learning about the design algorithm of chassis which is very much needed to get into the automobile designing industry.

Cost: Rs. 4500/- per student (4 member team)

8. CNC Machine utilizing Arduino:

Machining is needed to manufacture virtually everything that we utilize today. All the components are manufactured by sundry machines, but CNC machine in particular is the most widely used one among all. Through this mechanical mini project you will build a plenarily functional 3 axis CNC machine that can perform the actions like drilling, milling, tooling etc. You will be utilizing an Arduino board to control the operations of the machine and carry out concrete set of machining actions. Doing this mechanical mini project will avail you understand the machining process in depth and develop a better understanding on the entire process.

Cost: Rs. 6000/- per student (4 member team)

Hope you acquired some good suggestions for your mechanical small project that can be done with lowest cost and put up to be an application of the latest technologies.

Best Wishes for your project.
