Each team comprised 2–3 members\, with one female member compulsory\, promoting inclusivity and w omen’s active participation in technology-driven challenges.\n\nSpeaker( s): Mr. G. Nareshbabu\, Dr. J. Saranya\n\nAgenda: \nThe event featured thr ee rounds\, each designed to assess technical skills\, creativity\, and co mmunication abilities:\n\n· Round 1 – Knowledge Round (Paper-Pen Test): \nParticipants answered questions based on healthcare technology\, robotic s\, and “what-if” problem scenarios to evaluate their fundamental unde rstanding.\n\n· Round 2 – Pitching Round:\nShortlisted teams were provi ded with a product and asked to pitch innovative ideas to enhance or reima gine its use in the healthcare sector. This round focused on their present ation and pitching skills.\n\n· Round 3 – Problem Statement Round:\nIn the final round\, teams were given specific healthcare problem statements and 20 minutes to prepare a presentation proposing a feasible tech-based s olution.\n\nRajalakshmi Engineering College\, Rajalakshmi Nagar\, Thandala m\, Chennai\, Tamil Nadu\, India\, 602105 LOCATION:Rajalakshmi Engineering College\, Rajalakshmi Nagar\, Thandalam\, Chennai\, Tamil Nadu\, India\, 602105 ORGANIZER:kaarunyashree.g@gmail.com SEQUENCE:3 SUMMARY:IEEE Breadths 2025 – MedRoboQuest URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/523426 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div style="mso-element: frame\; mso-element- frame-hspace: 9.0pt\; mso-element-wrap: around\; mso-element-anchor-vertic al: paragraph\; mso-element-anchor-horizontal: column\; mso-element-left: -24.6pt\; mso-element-top: 11.9pt\; mso-height-rule: exactly\;">\n<table c ellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style="pa dding: 0cm 9.0pt 0cm 9.0pt\;" align="left" valign="top">\n<p class="MsoNor mal" style="margin-left: .05pt\; mso-para-margin-left: 0gd\; text-align: j ustify\; text-indent: 0cm\; mso-char-indent-count: 0\; tab-stops: 27.75pt\ ; border: none\; mso-padding-alt: 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt\; mso-border -shadow: yes\; mso-element: frame\; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt\; mso- element-wrap: around\; mso-element-anchor-vertical: paragraph\; mso-elemen t-anchor-horizontal: column\; mso-element-left: -24.6pt\; mso-element-top: 11.9pt\; mso-height-rule: exactly\;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; lin e-height: 107%\; font-family: 'Cambria'\,serif\; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria\; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria\; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN\;">As p art of the <strong>IEEE Day celebrations</strong> at Rajalakshmi Engineeri ng College\, the <strong>IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Group</s trong>\, in collaboration with the <strong>IEEE Robotics and Automation So ciety (RAS)</strong> and the <strong>IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biol ogy Society (EMBS)</strong>\, organized an innovative competition titled < strong>&ldquo\;IEEE Breadths 2025 &ndash\; MedRoboQuest&rdquo\;</strong> o n <strong>17th October 2025</strong>.</span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" sty le="margin-left: .05pt\; mso-para-margin-left: 0gd\; text-align: justify\; text-indent: 0cm\; mso-char-indent-count: 0\; tab-stops: 27.75pt\; border : none\; mso-padding-alt: 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt\; mso-border-shadow: yes\; mso-element: frame\; mso-element-frame-hspace: 9.0pt\; mso-element- wrap: around\; mso-element-anchor-vertical: paragraph\; mso-element-anchor -horizontal: column\; mso-element-left: -24.6pt\; mso-element-top: 11.9pt\ ; mso-height-rule: exactly\;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; line-height : 107%\; font-family: 'Cambria'\,serif\; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria\ ; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria\; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN\;">&nbsp\;</spa n><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; line-height: 107%\; font-family : 'Cambria'\,serif\; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria\; mso-bidi-font-fami ly: Cambria\; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN\;">Event Overview</span></strong></ p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .05pt\; mso-para-margin-left: 0gd\; text-align: justify\; text-indent: 0cm\; mso-char-indent-count: 0\; tab-stops: 27.75pt\; border: none\; mso-padding-alt: 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt 31.0pt\; mso-border-shadow: yes\; mso-element: frame\; mso-element-frame- hspace: 9.0pt\; mso-element-wrap: around\; mso-element-anchor-vertical: pa ragraph\; mso-element-anchor-horizontal: column\; mso-element-left: -24.6p t\; mso-element-top: 11.9pt\; mso-height-rule: exactly\;"><span style="fon t-size: 12.0pt\; line-height: 107%\; font-family: 'Cambria'\,serif\; mso-f areast-font-family: Cambria\; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria\; mso-ansi-lan guage: EN-IN\;">The competition aimed to encourage students to <strong>inn ovate simple technological solutions for real-world healthcare problems</s trong> using the power of <strong>robotics and automation</strong>.
