It houses development boards, power devices, robot arms, and other devices such as a multitude of sensors and mechanical equipment. The students using the lab participate at many national and international robotics competitions.
UAV Research Laboratory
UAV Research Laboratory facilitates both undergraduate and postgraduate research and development of unmanned ariel vehicles. The students working at the laboratory have developed fixed wing and multi-rotor helicopters which has state of the art technologies.
Machine Vision Lab
This laboratory provides the infrastructure for research related to Image Processing and Machine Vision. The laboratory has high power computational environment such as Nvidia Tesla Server, multi processor workstations and Nvidia GeForce GPUs.
Biomedical Laboratory
This newly built laboratory provides a multitude of opportunities to students taking the biomedical engineering degree program. It trains the students on biomedical instrumentation and practice. It houses human model simulators and other calibration-grade instruments. For example, if the students develop a device to measure a person’s oxygen saturation (pulse oximetry) the human model simulator provides a good test bed to test the device.
The laboratory is equipped with two optical microscopes. This immensely aids students working on final year projects that deal with biological tissue. Additionally, the laboratory consists of two clinical graded multi-parameter monitors enabling students to experience real world medical instruments. There are 7 BioPac devices that are used in routine laboratory practical sessions to explain the various physiological signals in the human body. This provides a platform for bio-signal acquisition, processing and analysis that can act as a reference against similar devices that students design.
Electronics Workshop
With experienced engineers and technicians, and equipped with modern facilities, workshop provides a great support for undergraduate studies and projects. Students utilize the workshop to get hands on experience in good soldering practice and to build and test circuits for project work. Instruments available in the workshop such as winding machines, oscilloscopes, de-soldering stations, PCB drilling machines, hot air soldering gun, projects boards for testing and magnifying glasses. With Internet facilities in the workshop, datasheets, circuit details and all the other material needed are nearby. Industrial instrument repairing and designing are done under engineering consultancy by engineers in the electronic workshop.
