Out of the 75 selected innovations from 23 IITs, IIT Bombay will exhibit eight industry-ready technologies at IInvenTiv 2022, the mega research and development (R&D) showcase among the IITs, to be held on October 14 and 15 at IIT Delhi.

Ranging from robotics, semiconductors, speech to machine translation and healthcare, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay will showcase eight industry-ready technologies at IInvenTiv 2022, the mega research and development (R&D) showcase among the IITs, to be held on October 14 and 15 at IIT Delhi. The inaugural session will be graced by Union Minister for Education and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan.  

The event aims to create holistic awareness around the research and innovation work being done by the IITs and seek collaborative avenues among state universities and institutes, industry, and the IITs for better development and reach of the innovations at the grassroots level. IInvenTiv commemorates Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav and will showcase 75 projects from the 23 IITs, along with six showcase projects on diverse themes. Among the 75 projects, IIT Bombay will demonstrate eight of its projects, while also leading one of the six showcase projects.  

Bahubhaashak project

One of the six showcase projects at IInvenTiv, the Bahubhaashak project, developed by IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, CDAC and IIIT Hyderabad enables speech-to-speech translation of over 40,000 videos available on Swayam Central AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) and National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL). The attempt is in line with the vision of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to enable ease of learning in local languages.  

In the robotics, sensors & actuators, and semiconductors sector, IIT Bombay will showcase the Matsya 5.0 AUV. Matsya 5.0 is a low-cost, indigenously developed, fabricated Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) capable of navigating obstacle-filled underwater arenas, detecting obstacles, and avoiding them; while the Global Navigation Receiver Chip (Dhruva) is capable of integrating into Security Operations Centres (SoCs) for large-scale deployment in commercial applications such as vehicle tracking, marine vessel tracking, rail/road/water transportation monitoring, and other navigation applications.
