Measurements Automation and Robotic Systems (MARS)
The vision of the MARS laboratory is to develop solutions in the area of robotics and mechatronics that will benefit the society as a whole. The focus of the work carried out at MARS is to develop sustainable and ecofriendly solutions which can benefit mankind and improve the quality of life for people in rural and urban India. The solutions developed will also be made in-house using materials from local vendors and can be scaled globally. The unique objective of this lab will be to develop medical potent solutions using combination of traditional Indian medicine and conventional which will boost immunity for common people to fight against pandemics. Connectivity and fund-raising will be used to make this available to people in rural and urban India. Prototypes developed will be done keeping the reuse and repair principle. This will help the next generation engineers get hands-on experience to develop safe and highly reliable engineering systems. MARS has sensors ranging from IR, soil moisture, LDR, Ultrasound, etc and robotic kits that can be used for real-life applications and future research. MARS will work with local companies to develop new products to their existing portfolio
