The hub will help establish facilities for end-to-end design, development, prototyping, and delivery of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIOT) Hub. 

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur is all set to launch its Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIOT) Hub. Artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have come together in the AIOT hub, which makes use of mobile communication technology (5G and beyond). IoT infrastructure and AI technologies are being seamlessly integrated to improve edge AI efficiency, human-machine interactions, data management and analytics. 

Interconnected and intelligent devices, self-healing and self-learning human-machine workflows with edge computing and autonomous decision-making are the three main characteristics of the hub. “The AIOT Innovation Hub and JCKIC are initiatives of IIT Jodhpur to connect academics with real-life and industrial-scale problems. This will enrich the innovation ecosystem of IIT as well as Jodhpur city. We expect that in near future this will trigger local industrial development through start-ups and new generation MSME who are eager to take forward the agenda of Atmanirbhar Bharat,” said IIT Jodhpur Director Santanu Chaudhury.  

The establishment of the AIOT Innovation Hub at the IIT Jodhpur Innovation Complex will help create facilities for end-to-end design, development, prototyping and delivery of AIOT, including photonic systems, for start-ups and MSMEs in IIT Jodhpur technology park. It will also create an ecosystem for the co-creation of AIOT technologies and products by faculty and students of IIT Jodhpur and industry partners. The institute also proposes to establish a sensor fabrication foundry for the development of low-cost indigenous sensors. The facility is designed to support production of sensors to reduce import.
