Hack the Sensors
INTRODUCTION: IEEE JUIT Signal Processing Society (SPS) organized “Hack the Sensors” on 20th April, 2025 in collaboration with IEEE Delhi Section in ECL6, Department of ECE, Jaypee University of Information Technology, Solan, India. The technical event aimed at fostering innovation in the field of sensor data analysis and real-time signal processing. The event served as a hands-on platform for students to explore the practical applications of signal processing techniques in sensor-driven environments, encouraging them to build solutions that bridge the gap between raw data and actionable insights.
By engaging with real-world challenges involving various sensors—such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, image sensors, and environmental detectors—participants were encouraged to think critically, apply theoretical concepts, and develop functional prototypes. The event highlighted the importance of signal processing in enabling technologies like smart cities, autonomous systems, wearable health devices, and more.
EVENT DETAILS: The event “Hack the Sensors” was designed to combine technical skills with creativity by challenging participants to build functional hardware models using sensors. The goal was to promote hands-on experience in working with sensor data while encouraging out-of-the-box thinking in model development.
At the beginning of the event, participating teams were provided with an open-ended problem space but with a unique twist — each team was required to draw a random chit that specified the number of sensors they were allowed to use in their project. This randomized limitation added an element of spontaneity and tested the teams’ ability to innovate within constraints.
Teams were then given a fixed time duration to ideate, prototype, and develop a working hardware model that solved a real-world problem or demonstrated a unique use case. Emphasis was placed not only on the technical functionality of the model but also on creativity, feasibility, and impact.
The event culminated in a showcase where each team presented their model to a panel of judges. Models were evaluated on the basis of innovation, effective sensor utilization, problem-solving relevance, and presentation clarity. The most creative and impactful projects were declared winners.
