PITCH VIDEO SCRIPT (Enhanced Version – 10 mins)
1. Introduction (1 min)
“Good morning respected judges and everyone present.
We are Team Phoenix from Mount Zion Silver Jubilee School.
Our project is AI AutoPatch Rover, developed under the theme Innovative and Productive
Tools for Local Workers and Artisans.
Let me begin with a question—
What if potholes were repaired before they caused accidents?”
2. Problem Statement (1 min)
“Potholes are a major cause of road accidents.
They form gradually due to rain, traffic, and weak road construction.
In India, over 23,000 accidents in recent years were caused by potholes.
Manual inspection is slow, unsafe, and inefficient.
Most potholes are fixed only after serious damage or accidents occur.”
3. Rationale (45 sec)
“This motivated us to design a solution that is:
● Fast
● Safe
● Automated
We wanted to reduce human risk and improve efficiency.
That led to the creation of AI AutoPatch Rover.”
4. Solution (1.5 min)
“Our rover is an intelligent autonomous system that detects and repairs potholes in real time.
Here’s how it works:
● It scans the road using advanced cameras including the Intel RealSense depth camera,
which helps measure the depth of potholes accurately
● The system processes data using the Jetson Nano processor, which acts as the brain of
our rover
● AI models detect potholes and calculate repair requirements
Once detected:
● The rover cleans the pothole
● Then it uses a 3D-printed screw mixer mechanism to mix concrete efficiently
● The material is dispensed, compacted, and leveled
● Finally, AI performs a post-repair inspection
All of this happens automatically with minimal human effort.”
5. Technical Approach (1.5 min)
“Our system combines powerful technologies:
● Jetson Nano Processor
→ Handles AI computation and real-time decision making
● Intel RealSense Camera + RGB Cameras
→ Captures depth and surface data for accurate pothole analysis
● YOLOv8 and CNN Algorithms
→ Detect potholes using computer vision
● SLAM and A* Path Planning
→ Enables autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance
These components work together to make the rover intelligent and efficient.”
6. Working Flow (1 min)
“The working process is simple and efficient:
1. Scan road surface
2. Detect pothole using AI
3. Analyze size and depth
4. Clean the area
5. Fill with mixed material
6. Compact and smooth
7. Final inspection
This ensures fast and reliable repair.”
7. Features & USP (1 min)
“Our product stands out because it offers:
● Fully automated detection and repair
● Real-time action instead of delayed response
● 3D-printed screw mixer for efficient concrete mixing
● Reduced human risk
● Smart AI-based decision making
Unlike traditional methods, our rover works proactively, not reactively.”
8. Impact & Benefits (1 min)
“The impact of our project is significant:
● Reduces road accidents and saves lives
● Protects workers from dangerous conditions
● Decreases traffic congestion
● Reduces vehicle damage
● Supports smart city development
It is a cost-effective and scalable solution for the future.”
9. Conclusion (45 sec)
“To conclude, the AI AutoPatch Rover is not just a project—
it is a step towards safer roads and smarter cities.
By combining AI and automation, we can prevent accidents before they happen.
Thank you for your time and consideration.”
