As many as 73 projects that used cutting-edge technology were showcased to industry and investors at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.
Among them were fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles for military surveillance, a solar-powered race car and autonomous underwater vehicles for oceanographic exploration. More than 800 students representing 14 technical clubs and seven competition teams participated in the research conclave organised by the students at the institute’s Centre for Innovation on Saturday.
Prototypes developed by CFI competition teams in the past six months were also exhibited at the ‘competition team demo day’ event. On display were a CFI guide robot, clean energy marine vessels, a Braille book emulator and sound-scaping spectacles for the auditory-impaired.
