Various industry relevant innovations have been undertaken by Tier 1 engineering
institutes in EEE domain
Examples of top Industry relevant innovations
NAVA – High speed Internet technology
Silicon Locket for Cardiac Monitoring
Technology to be demonstrated in Sept 2013 to transmit 1 GB
per second with multiple transmitter and receiver antennas
The locket is undergoing field trials in hospitals and is expected
to be marketed in the next few months
Aakash 4 - ultra low-cost tablet
Fighting terrorism with technology
 Project to focus on developing internet
speeds greater than 3G and 4G
 Based on Large-MIMO technology
 Expected to be more power efficient and
reliable than Wi-Fi
 Funding partners: IISc partnering with
DRDO & private companies
 PI: Prof A Chockalingam, ECE@IISc
 Aakash 4 tablets will be based on open
specification enabling multiple vendors to
manufacture the tablets unlike Aakash 2
 Likely to be priced at $50-$60 (less than Rs
2,000), the Aakash 4 tablet will be an
upgraded version of Aakash 2
 Funding partner: MHRD (Govt. of India)
 PI: Prof Ashok Jhunjhunwala, EE@IIT M
Around ten companies, including HP, Lenovo and Dell, have
evinced interest in developing the low-cost tablets
 World s s allest ECG o itori g de ice
 Allows patients at high risk of cardiac
arrest to wirelessly monitor the heart
 Equipped with USB, IrDA, RS232 and
2.4GHz wireless connectivity
 ECG data stored in Micro SD card memory
 Funding partner: TCS
 PI: Prof Ramgopal Rao, ECE@IIT B
 Wireless communication device to capture
& transmit images using ultra-broadband
services
 Images can be viewed at a command
station during terror operations
 State-of-art technology to tackle problems
in urban terrorism, naxalism & cyber crime
 PI: Prof Abhay Karandikar, EE@IIT B
CRPF has taken active interest in the project and some demos
of prototypes have been held for some of its top officials

Aerospace Engineering
Tier 1 Engineering Institutes have been actively collaborating with both MNCs and
government agencies for developing innovative products in Aerospace segment
Examples of top Industry relevant innovations
Low-noise technology for aircraft engines
 Project to develop low-noise
technology for aircraft engines
 Technology was developed as part of Rolls
– ‘oyce s tripartite agree e t ith II“c, IIT
Bombay & Imperial College, London
 Funding partners: Rolls Royce
 PI: U Ramamurthy, Materials
Engineering@IISc
Technology is to be used in long-haul planes including
Boeing747s and Dreamliners
PRATHAM – IIT Bombay student satellite initiative
 PRATHAM IIT Bombay satellite project
aims at launching at least 5 satellites within
the next few years
 'Pratham' : first satellite under this project
 Micro-satellite to fit in a 30*30*30 cm
cube and weigh less than 15 kg
 PI: Prof K. Sudhakar, Aerospace
Engineering@IIT B
Plans to develop a fully functional microsatellite in 3 years
which would then be launched by ISRO
Solar powered miniature aircraft
 Project is aimed to design and fabricate a
radio controlled aircraft which will be
powered by solar cells fixed on the wing
 The aircraft to be capable of continuous
flight
 PI: Hemendra Arya, Aerospace @IIT B
Currently part of a student project with the potential to
increase the knowledge of MAV design
Indigenous aerostat
 Aerostat will serve as a surveillance device
and monitor an entire district
 Can be controlled wirelessly and equipped
with communication facilities, infra-red
imaging and a camera
 Can help in crop control, traffic control,
checking flood damage and law and order
 PI: Prof A.K. Ghose, Aerospace@IIT K
The project is expected be complete in the next 2 years and will
be developed, controlled and monitored by the students
