E-YANTRA - An initiative by IIT Bombay
e-Yantra is a robotics outreach program funded by the Ministry of Education and hosted at IIT Bombay. The goal is to harness the talent of young engineers to solve problems using technology across a variety of domains such as: agriculture, manufacturing, defence, home, smart-city maintenance and service industries.
Recent activities conducted under this collaboration
A visit was organized to Lohia Farm, which is a 150-acre agricultural farm, to identify real-life problem statements that can be addressed through technology and automation.
Another visit was organized at IIT Bombay, where students from multiple institutes were invited to explore the e-Yantra laboratory environment.
