Robotics and mobility systems are the focus of a new MTech programme at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur. Students with backgrounds in instrumentation and control, mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, aeronautical engineering, engineering physics, computer science, and engineering are all eligible to apply.

The programme is offered by the interdisciplinary research platform (IDPR) robotics and mobility systems. This MTech programme will provide opportunities for students to participate in challenging advance technology areas. It aims to give a platform for ideas in design, development, and testing of the robotics and mobility systems.

Researchers at IIT Jodhpur have designed robotic trainers that can be used in physiotherapy and lower limb rehabilitation. Jayant Kumar Mohanta, along with other co-researchers in the mechanical engineering department have published a paper in the International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems about the setting up and inner workings of the device.
