"lab-in-a-box" Resources

What is e-Yantra Lab Set-up Initiative (eLSI) ?

e-Yantra – a project in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), IIT Bombay - is a flagship project of MoE through the National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT) to spread Embedded systems and Robotics education in colleges across India. e-Yantra Lab Setup Initiative (eLSI) is a holistic approach to

• Impart theoretical and programming skilled based knowledge

• Provide hands-on experience to teachers and students through online training

• Help colleges set up their own robotics labs and innovation activities.

We have established robotics labs in 500+ colleges across India and Bhutan. 

In this model, colleges express their intent to participate in eLSI to be trained and creating an infrastructure - a robotics lab in their college by committing space and funds.

1. Training: Colleges commit to training a team comprising four (4) teachers and ten (10) students. This training focuses on imparting fundamental knowledge in embedded systems theory and microcontroller programming through our accessible MOOC platform.

2. Infrastructure: Participating colleges also commit to creating the necessary infrastructure, primarily a dedicated robotics lab on their campus. This lab is equipped with components recommended for student projects, all part of our 'lab-in-a-box' concept. This website serves as a valuable resource center, providing comprehensive information about the components included in the 'lab-in-a-box.'
