Fire Rescue Assist Drone
Flagship Project

Fire Rescue Assist Drone

Funding Agency: TiHAN, IIT Hyderbad

A drone that flies autonomously in a building on fire and relays the location about people needing rescue to firefighters. A thermal camera and RADAR mounted on drone give the necessary data for SLAM, and exploration algorithms for the smooth and safe navigation of drone in the building, while a machine learning algorithm identifies humans from the thermal images.

Adaptive Upper Limb Rehabilitation System
Robotics

Adaptive Upper Limb Rehabilitation System

Funding Agency: SERB

It is a haptics based rehabilitation exercise system for patients suffering from paralysis or undergone upper-limb prosthesis. Game theoretic techniques are used to provide just enough robotic assistance for performing the exercises.

Advanced Control System for LIGO-India
Robust Control

Advanced Control System for LIGO-India

Funding Agency: DST-DAE

Sophisticated control algorithms for extremely sensitive systems of Laser Interferometric Gravitational Wave Observatory being built in India are being developed. Apart from conventional robust control, modern data-driven control algorithms are also explored.
