Indian Institute technology Madras (IIT Madras) will showcase seven state-of-the-art projects. These projects range from various sectors such as telecommunications and biotechnology to rehabilitation devices for the disabled. They are important technological innovations that are poised to have a social impact on the community at large.

Indigenous 5G/5Gi Network Solutions: It is an indigenously developed end-to-end 5G system by IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, IIT Bombay, CEWIT and SAMEER. The institutions built the hardware and software required to realize the Indian 5G network solution. It claims to work with both the 5G standard as well as the indigenously developed 5Gi standard. Based on ITU standards, the technology will work with commercial cell phones and the design can be modified for any India-specific use.

Sustainable production of plant-derived anti-cancer drug-lead camptothecin via microbial fermentation pathway: This microbial fermentation process for camptothecin (CPT) is a sustainable alternative to its extraction from natural plant sources. This in vitro method independent of nature is eco-friendly and cost-effective. The new microbial source, CPT, is amenable to further optimization and scale-up in less space and time, to continuously meet the increasing market demands, to improve yield and productivity. It may be an indigenous production technology India To replace the import of CPT from other countries like China.

Bio and Chemical Sensor Technologies for Healthcare, Environment and Pharma (Plasmonic Fiberoptic Absorbance Biosensor (P-FAB) for Low Cost and Ultrasensitive Tuberculosis Diagnosis): The Biosensor Laboratory at IIT Madras, led by Dr V V Raghavendra Sai, has developed a scalable and field-deployable fiber optic sensor technology that detects many chemical and biological molecules of interest at ultra-low concentrations (down to 150 molecules in 25). able to install. microliter, the volume of one droplet) at a time. Realized a proof-of-concept for early diagnosis of diseases including tuberculosis from urine, cancer from blood samples and maternal care; pathogenic bacteria, viii and toxins in food and water; environmental pollutants such as heavy metal ions, antibiotics and pesticides; Biomolecular interactions and drug discovery studies for the pharmaceutical industry.

ARTSENS®: Assessment of Early Vascular Aging: It is an IITM developed technique for non-invasive evaluation of early vascular health markers. The ARTSENS® PLUS device can assess carotid stiffness, aortic pulse wave velocity and central blood pressure—all in a single non-invasive test within minutes for quantification of vascular aging and screening for early intervention and prevention. ARTSENS is clinically validated in India and Europe on approximately 5000 subjects, and has granted over 100 publications, 3 patents and more than 25 patents pending and has been tested in accordance with the required IEC60601 Standards/Device Technology Transfer and ready for construction. scale up.

New-Gen Single/Multipoint Superabrasive Tools: The new generation single-layer cBN/Diamond grinding tools are indigenously developed with a unique feature of grit-distribution having application-specific patterns. The bonding of CBN and diamonds on a steel substrate is realized by advanced active brazing technology. The research team developed an indigenously advanced formulation of brazing fillers and a semi-automatic grit printing set-up which are essential for the production of such next generation equipment. The developed technology enables the manufacturers to produce a wide range of instruments including straight/profile grinding wheels, dressers, clipper wheels, rock cutting diamond cable-bids, dental surgical tools etc.

SHAKTI class of RISC-V processors: It is India’s first indigenously designed RISC-V processor. The two variants of SHAKTI processors have proven silicon in the 130nm and 28nm fab facilities. A representative set of domains in which this processor can be used: IoT, image sensors, drones, edge computing. Improved versions of SHAKTI processors are currently being developed for better performance.

NeoBolt – Motorized add-on to wheelchair for outdoor mobility: The NeoBolt clips on in seconds, converting the NeoFly manual wheelchair into a road-worthy scooter. With a range of 25 km and a top speed of 25 kmph, the Neobolt empowers users to commute to work, school, hospital, shops, etc. in rural and urban areas. With accessible metros, Neobolt enables users to go faster and further than ever before. Tested for Indian road conditions, the device is battery powered and is currently used by over 800 wheelchair users across India. NeoBolt transforms many inaccessible places into accessible places for wheelchair users, giving individuals with disabilities and the elderly a fair chance to lead active lives and play their community roles.

Highlighting the ongoing translational and transformational research at IIT Madras, Professor V Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, “The faculty and students of our institute are working on technologies of social importance spanning many disciplines of science and engineering, as It is clear from the list. We will showcase the projects at IIT R&D Fair 2022. The R&D fair is a great opportunity for industry-academic interaction with an aim to enable mass production of technologies. We are confident that this effort will result in many self-sustaining products in the Indian market. ,
