History

It was founded in 2007 by MIT-Pune, now MIT-WPU. The team was established under the guidance of Prof. Ms. S.H. Kulkarni, Prof. Dr. Saket Yeolekar, and Prof. Dr. Vishwanath Karad, who also played a crucial role in mentoring the team. It started its legacy in 2008 when MIT hosted the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) Robocon competition and became the Indian National Winner. The Robotics Innovation Lab is one of the initiatives taken by the institute to help students get hands-on experience in the field of robotics. The team competes annually in several competitions, the most prominent of which is ABU ROBOCON.   Through the Years Departments Dynamics:  Designing, manufacturing, fabrication, the mechanical structure of robots, building of actuators and motors, and using SolidWorks (3D designing and simulation software). Circuits: Building electronic circuits, microcontrollers and their peripherals, power systems, embedded systems, MCUs, and custom boards, operation with programming in C and C++. Controls: It includes ROS/ROS2 (Robot Operating System) used for the simulation of robots, CV i.e. computer vision for object/color detection, gazebo which is a 3D robot simulation environment used for testing and validating robotic algorithms and systems, and Programming languages like Python and C++. Non-Tech (Management): Event management, marketing, sponsorship, finance, web development, graphic designing, video editing, and content writing.
