IITG-TIDF act as nodal centre spearheading the activities in the area of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) and other domains in the field of Technologies for under water exploration and others, with leading edge knowledge, competencies and facilities which aims to harness the potential of this new wave of technology and expertise available nationwide and facilitate fostering research innovation, world class technology and product development. TIH, IITG works in collaboration with other 24 TIHs, selected for other different verticals.

Our History

IIT Guwahati has been selected to develop the Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) in the vertical of “Technology for Underwater Exploration” by the National Mission for Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS), Department of Science and Technology (DST) of the Government of India. In the next five years we will take up many innovative projects and will help to develop technologies of national and international importance, high quality manpower, incubation centres, training schools, and start-ups integrated with Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).

Our Mission

TIDF act as nodal centre spearheading the activities in the area of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) and other domains in the field of Technologies for under water exploration and others, with leading edge knowledge, competencies and facilities which aims to harness the potential of this new wave of technology and expertise available nationwide and facilitate fostering research innovation, world class technology and product development.

Who we are

TIH, IITG-TIDF brings together a team of industry professionals, combining technical expertise and management skills to effectively address the unique requirements. Currently 41 Faculty members of IIT Guwahati are the part of the team. It also has foreign collaborators from New York University, USA, and Taiwan Ocean Research Institute (TORI). Along with this we have domain experts in Technical and Management Staffs comprising of 60 Members.

Our Focused Areas

Our Aim is to design and develop technologies of national and international importance for underwater application.

Technology Development

Several technologies are intended to be developed in this project through three schemes viz., (i) expert & research-driven approach, (ii) development of products/prototypes from existing knowledge, and (iii) product delivery in specific sectors.

Self-Sustainability objectives

We are exploring siz schemes to generate revenue viz., (i) Revenue through training schools, (ii) Revenue through CoE (iii) Revenue through start-ups, (iv) Revenue through collaborating institutes, (v) Revenue through Sponsored Ph.D. & M. Tech programs, and (vi) Revenue through Product’s IP.

HRD and Skill Development

Fellowship is provided to Doctoral, Post-Doctoral & Masters students through a Centre of Intelligent Cyber Physical Systems (CICPS) of IIT Guwahati. We are organizing the preliminary and advanced skill development workshops, seminars, short-term courses, grand challenges and conferences through the CICPS.

International Collaborations

We are having foreign collaborators from New York University, USA, and Taiwan Ocean Research Institute (TORI). This Hub has obtained expression of interest from several industries. International collaborations with the researchers working in the reputed institutes abroad on the underwater technologies are intended

Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Start-Up Ecosystem

TIH-IITG is providing a platform for Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Start-Up Ecosystem with the financial support for the Start-ups, Young and Aspiring technology entrepreneurs, and entrepreneur in residence in the domain of underwater exploration through several schemes.

Centre of Excellence

The primary focus of the CoE will be on providing the manufacturing facility of different products related to the CPS. The crucial products such as mechanical structures, motors, electronics devices, mechanical devices, controllers, actuators, sensors, etc. will be in-house designed and manufactured.
