Summary
Samsung India says Morphism, a team from Raipur, has advanced from the national Top 40 to the Top 20 of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2026. Its idea explores a more inclusive approach to recognising emotional cues among autistic individuals experiencing alexithymia.
Samsung India says Team Morphism, a young team from Raipur, has advanced to the Top 20 of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2026. The team previously reached the national Top 40.
The team comprises Ananya Agrawal and Adityasai Bakthashanmuganandam. Its technology-led idea explores a more inclusive approach to recognising emotional cues among autistic individuals experiencing alexithymia.
From the national Top 40 to the Top 20
In a Samsung India post dated 14 September 2026, the team describes reaching the next stage of the programme and reflects on what the journey has meant to its members. The accompanying video focuses on the team’s Top 20 milestone and its plans to take the idea forward.
Samsung’s announcement presents the progression as part of the team’s journey through Solve for Tomorrow. It does not describe a finished product or a completed implementation; the development reported here is the team’s selection for the Top 20 and the continuation of its concept through the programme.
An idea focused on emotional recognition
Alexithymia is a difficulty in identifying and describing one’s own emotions. It can occur among autistic people, although it is not the same as autism itself. Recognising emotional cues can involve interpreting information communicated through interaction, but the Samsung announcement does not specify which signals Morphism’s concept would use or how its technology would operate.
The team’s stated focus is inclusion: developing an approach that could better account for the experiences of autistic individuals with alexithymia when emotional cues are being recognised. That focus gives the project relevance beyond a conventional competition milestone, because the quality of emotion-recognition systems depends on how well they accommodate differences in communication and expression.
For now, the evidence supplied by Samsung is a programme announcement and team description. It establishes Morphism’s movement from the Top 40 to the Top 20, while the concept’s technical performance and practical impact have yet to be described in the source.
