At MINRO we go beyond academic publications and build rugged, scalable, transfer-ready technology. Currently, the research areas can be broadly categorized under:
- Multi-modal language translation and understanding – focus on Hindi, English and Kannada (text, voice, gestures, videos, braille etc.)
- Robotics – technology for differently-abled, therapeutic exoskeletons and prosthetics, advanced warehouse robots, human-machine interaction and collaboration
- IOT and Drones – smart, safe and sustainable buildings, automatic flight navigation
- Machine Learning – agent based modeling, neural mass model, deep learning framework for image processing, annotation of statistical plots
- Smart Governance – policies around bias in machine learning algorithms, impact of automation on human society and jobs, framework for privacy and security of digital data, social network feed analysis, influence prediction, narratives and social cognition
- Urban mobility and Transportation – traffic analysis, multi-modal transportation planning and autonomous vehicle research
