These problem statements are meant for undergraduate students to work towards possible solutions. The goal of this exercise is to encourage undergraduate students to contribute towards technology development and prototype demonstration through a 6 to 10 months project.

October 2021: As part of the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-physical Systems, IIT Indore (through IITI DRISHTI CPS Foundation) is leading efforts towards technology development in the direction of system simulation, modelling and visualization aspects of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). In this context, IIT Indore is reaching out to various industries to seek CPS related problem statements which could be taken up by undergraduate students for possible solutions. The goal of this exercise is to encourage undergraduate students for technology development and prototype demonstration via a 6 to 10 months project.

Accordingly, IIT Indore is inviting industries to be a part of this initiative of IITI DRISHTI CPS Foundation. In this regard, it is seeking the problem statement from esteemed organizations in the following format:

Title of the project:
Brief description (max 500 words):
Possible timeline (in months):

The problem description should be generic and should not contain any copyright data/details. Students who propose solutions related to these problems may be engaged in detailed discussions before finalizing the project. The respective industry representatives will also be part of these discussions.

Please share the above information via return email as soon as possible. Kindly note that an institute/organisation may share a maximum of five problem statements, which will be listed on the website of IITI DRISHTI CPS Foundation. IIT Indore also seeks the consent of the respective institute/organization to display its name alongside the problem statement.

Based on responses received, the best undergraduate student team would be selected through a rigorous evaluation process. We hope this initiative would help bridge the gap between the industry and the academia in the domain of cyber physical systems. In addition to this the intent is also to serve as a platform to connect students with industry.

A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) between the selected student teams and the participating industry may need to be signed before the commencement of the project. IITI DRISHTI CPS Foundation would encourage ideas with potential for patenting. If there is an opportunity to file an IPR in any of the projects supported by industry, the same will be discussed with all parties. All possible options to file the patent will be explored and a and a mutually agreeable IPR agreement would be drawn up and signed.

IITI DRISHTI CPS Foundation encourages participating industries to provide financial as well as technical support to the selected student teams working on their respective problem statements. The modalities of the same can be worked out before the execution of the project.

All queries can be addressed to fellowships.drishticps@iiti.ac.in
