Mankind has always used nature as inspiration while creating things. More often than not, solutions derived from nature have proven to be far more efficient and effective than our so-called clever ideas. Through this project, Prof. Nishant Sharma prompted me to look into nature and tackle the problem of camouflage. Cuttlefish are famous for their ability to blend almost perfectly with whatever environment they are in. By using their superior camouflage mechanism as inspiration, the aim was to design a new system that could actively adapt to the surrounding environment. Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies.

Samudra Shipyard (P) Ltd. is a manufacturer and supplier of all types of watercraft, including house boats, speed boats, water scooters, paddle boats, canoes, etc. To understand the waterways transportation, public transport boats travel small distances; there are also some long-distance boats, like Alappuzha to Kollam, an eight-hour journey of 85 kilometres. We travelled in different kinds of boats, from public transport to private leisure boats. Each boat has its own feeling of ride and a different travelling experience.

Law enforcement in India is performed by numerous agencies. These agencies are controlled by the central and state governments. There are special forces to handle particular circumstances.

Police officers assist in maintaining public law and order 24 hours a day, seven days a week.Which involves patrolling specific areas as a daily routine. In addition to this, they act as first responders in an emergency. Patrolling troops with different vehicles are used based on the situation. These troops have different needs and carry specific equipment. But the vehicles provided to them are not specific, which in our case are mostly passenger vehicles. As they spend more than 12 hours patrolling, it is necessary to address their needs.

Even though troops use different vehicles for different tasks, there is a need to fulfil their specific requirements. This makes the problem challenging.
