High Density Electronic Systems Lab
Principal Investigator: Prof. Madhav Rao
At the High Density Electronic Systems Lab at IIIT-Bangalore, we focus on research and development in the area of Approximate computing design and libraries, Low power VLSI circuits, FPGA accelerator designs for AI/ML applications, and other emerging VLSI design techniques.
Networking and Communication Lab
Principal Investigator: Prof. Debabrata Das
Networking and Communication Lab. (NCL) in IIIT-Bangalore mainly focuses on various R&D areas related to broadband wireless network. Recent major areas of work include Power Saving in devices and base stations by New Protocols, multi-Radio Access Technology (RAT selection), Cognitive Radio, TVWS, scheduling schemes in LTE-A and Beyond, MAC for IoT devices as well as secured Transport layer. This lab was created in Jan. 2007 by research fund from Hewlett Packard, Motorola India Research Labs.
Radar Sensing Lab
Principal Investigator: Prof. Vinod Veera Reddy
Radar Sensing Lab works in the broad spectrum of applications of radar. In particular, the team currently works on problems specific to automotive, medical, and communication applications. The availability of off-the-shelf radars has enabled us to explore new problems and their applicability. We work closely with the industry and are open to collaboration with universities and government organizations. The team and infrastructure are progressively growing to accept challenging problems and solve them.
Surgical and Assistive Robotics Lab
Principal Investigator: Prof. Madhav Rao
SARL is affiliated to EHRC (EHRC) and HIDES (HIDES) at IIITB. The SARL lab at IIITB is a joint work by IIIT-B and NIMHANS. Currently we are working on the development of neurosurgical skill automation, food intake monitoring, seizure prediction, automated injection system, wearable assistive upper limb rehabilitation and exoskeleton device, lower limb DVT prophylaxis device, biomimetic robotic arm, surgical hyperflexible probe, neurosurgical microscope, Minimally invasive Ventricular Assistive Device, Tactile educational Kit, Image guided autonomous drilling tool,
