What Can You Create
Autonomous Vehicles
You can create autonomous vehicles such as self-driving cars, that are capable of sensing their environment and can communicate with adjacent vehicles to avoid accidents, reduce traffic and ensure that no traffic rules are violated.
Digital agriculture solutions
You can create digital agriculture solutions that enable farmers to monitor aspects like irrigation, crop yield, environmental conditions, etc., through low-cost sensors, drones, and mobile communications and data across the agricultural value chain. By driving adoption of such solutions, you can enable farmers to boost sustainable farming practices and maximize return from their crop.
Smart cities
You can help conceptualize and build exciting 'Smart Cities' of the future, which have smart interconnected systems for transportation, energy distribution, healthcare, environmental monitoring, emergency response and more, while preserving aspects of safety, security and privacy.
Medical robotics
You can design and develop wearable prostheses that adapt to a patient’s injuries and guide individualized exercises in conjunction with a remote therapist, build robots that perform meticulous and high-risk surgeries, real-time patient health monitoring and various other solutions that revolutionize healthcare.
Industrial and consumer robots
You can build robots to perform tasks that create economic value and simplify our lives, such as industrial robots used in manufacturing and logistics processes, to even robots that clean our homes!
