Centre for IoT and Robotics Research

Centre for IoT and Robotics research (CIR2) was established in the year of 2018 with a view of promoting the Internet of Things (IoT) and Robotics related research and studies in Sahrdaya College of Engineering and Technology.

IoT facility is funded by the Kerala Startup Mission. Various development boards and components such as sensors, actuators, communication devices, power supplies etc., required to make IoT related projects are available in the lab.

Robotics lab is supported by IIT Bombay under their e-Yantra Lab Setup Initiative (eLSI). ‘Firebird V’ Robotic training kits and associated components are available to learn the basics of robotics.

Under the centre, students are provided with regular hands on trainings in IoT and robotics during semester breaks and holidays and are supported to do their B. Tech projects. Students can setup and test their prototypes using the facilities available in the lab and can scale up once it is tested ok. Apart from students, teachers are also trained under the centre through faculty development programmes. 

Facilities

  • Desktops with Intel i5 Processor- 5 Nos.
  • High speed wifi connectivity

Fully Furnished Air conditioned Lab with work bench with power supply, round tables, chairs and shelves for safe keeping of equipments
