Innovation in Action

What if the next generation, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), held the key to solving society’s biggest challenges? Indonesia’s young innovators who participated in Samsung Innovation Campus have developed groundbreaking solutions that showcase their impressive skills while addressing pressing societal issues. From eco-friendly energy solutions to AI-driven safety systems, these projects offer a glimpse into a future where technology plays a pivotal role in improving lives.

AI-Powered Innovations by Mechalvent team

Facing both energy shortages and accumulating biomass waste, the Mechalvent team from South Kalimantan (Aqsha RE Siregar, Azman Zidni Fadhillah, Huda Nur Ihsan Muhammad Akbar, and Muhammad Fikri Anwari) developed "Bioner-S," a biomass-powered generator fueled by corn cobs, providing a smart electricity solution for farmers.

Huda, the team’s UI/UX designer, shared, “Bioner-S is an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution that boosts productivity, speeds up farming tasks, and reduces biomass waste. Through Samsung Innovation Campus' intensive training in coding, IoT, AI, and soft skills like creativity and communication, we were able to make it all possible.”

Enhancing Road Safety with AI with ‘Daely’

Meanwhile, a team from Jakarta’s BINUS University has developed a cutting-edge solution aimed at preventing road accidents caused by driver fatigue. Daely, an AI and IoT-based drowsiness detection system, was created by Aretha Natalova Wahyudi, Axel Nino Nakata, Jehoiada Wong, and Jessica Lynn Wibowo. With long working hours leading to fatigue-related accidents, responsible for 80% of all road incidents, Daely is designed to monitor a driver’s alertness and issue warnings when drowsiness levels reach dangerous thresholds.

"Daely's monitoring feature tracks driver conditions, its gradual activation mechanism provides support as needed, and its web-based dashboard offers real-time monitoring," explained Aretha, a front-end developer for Daely. "Samsung Innovation Campus was crucial in developing Daely, providing the technical skills and support to realize our vision."

Empowering Future Innovators

Ennita Pramono, Head of Corporate Citizenship at Samsung Electronics Indonesia, noted, “If we look at the prototypes created by the participants, especially the champions of SIC Batch 5, it shows how great the potential of our young generation is to innovate for a more advanced and superior Indonesia in the field of technology.”

Through seven months of mentorship and hands-on guidance, participants like the Mechalvent and Daely teams are empowered to turn their ideas into impactful prototypes that tackle real-world issues. The program helps nurture the next generation of tech leaders who will drive innovation for a better future.
