Embedded lab

The Embedded Systems laboratory is equipped with the latest of components required to build a fully functioning autonomous or semi-autonomous system. The lab itself encourages innovative ideas by housing prototyping materials. Several sensors, I/O peripherals and electro-mechanical units are available for animated testing. The undergraduates and master students have full leisure to use the lab during free hours. The stock of components is not limited and is sufficient for use for full class strength, though arrangements are continuously being done to improve the quantity and variety of tools and other components. The students, thus, take responsibility and carry out several projects. Staff support is also provided.

The embedded systems laboratory was established with the major focus in making students aware with hardware related designs. Practical applications of ideas are very important to precisely grasp the concepts and it also unveils the hidden complication in practical scenarios. The other major focus towards the development of this laboratory was to convert ideas into products. The institute provides full support to students working in the lab with some product ideas. The lab equipment is sufficient to prototype a fully functional product.
