No. Name of TTRP Allocated (amount in crores) Utilised (amount in crores) 1 I-HUB for Robotics and Autonomous Systems Innovation Foundation, IISc Bangalore 60 44.17 2 IHUB NTIHAC Foundation, IIT Kanpur 32.5 29.86 3 Technology Innovation in Exploration & Mining Foundation, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad 43.43 14.01 4 IITI Drishti CPS Foundation, IIT Indore 40.15 24.03 A total of 98 major research projects are being undertaken by the TTRPs. The TTRP-wise number of projects is as follows: I-HUB for Robotics and Autonomous Systems Innovation Foundation: 08 projects IHUB NTIHAC Foundation: 56 projects Technology Innovation in Exploration & Mining Foundation: 07 projects IITI Drishti CPS Foundation: 27 projects The details of these research projects are provided in Annexure-I. Out of 98 projects mentioned in part (c) above, 10 projects have resulted in development of technologies/ technology products. The institution-wise status of commercialisation and application of the emerging technologies supported through such projects in the country is as follows: I-HUB for Robotics and Autonomous Systems Innovation Foundation: 03 IHUB NTIHAC Foundation: 01 Technology Innovation in Exploration & Mining Foundation: 01 IITI Drishti CPS Foundation: 05 In Andhra Pradesh, IITI DRISHTI CPS Foundation, IIT Indore has supported the project “OASIS: Online Aerial Image-based Surface Information System” in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Information Technology Design and Manufacturing (IIITDM) Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. The project has developed a semi-supervised semantic segmentation model for real-time drone-based object detection and classification. The technology is commercialised through the start-up Bhoodrishti Pvt. Ltd., with application in sectors such as smart cities, defence, and border surveillance. Selection of institutions under TTRP initiative was done following a comprehensive review of the Technology Innovation Hubs (TIHs) under NM-ICPS during FY 2024-25, to assess their progress, outcomes, and readiness for long-term sustainability by a Third-Party Evaluation (TPE) Committee constituted for the purpose. Based on the outcomes of this evaluation, the top performing TIHs were invited to submit proposals for establishing TTRPs. The proposals were subsequently examined by the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) against criteria such as alignment with national priorities and NM-ICPS objectives, financial sustainability and operational roadmap, existing industry collaborations and commercialisation potential, capability to build a broad cyber-physical systems (CPS) research and skilling ecosystem, and synergy with existing TIH infrastructure and resources. Based on the SAC’s recommendations, the Mission Governing Board (MGB) approved the establishment of the TTRPs as detailed in part (a) above. The TTRPs are encouraged to further strengthen translational research, technology development and industry engagement in their respective focus areas, while expanding activities related to technology validation, prototyping and sector-specific applications. These efforts facilitate wider adoption of CPS technologies and support their deployment for public and societal use, leveraging the existing TIH ecosystem. This information was given by the Minister of State (Independent charge) for the Ministry of Science and Technology & Earth Sciences Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today. ****** NKR/FT/AK/NM Annexure-I List of the major research projects being undertaken by the TTPRs under NM-ICPS I-HUB for Robotics and Autonomous Systems Innovation Foundation, IISc Bengaluru: Focus area- Robotics & AI Systems Development of Autonomous Drones and VTOL UAV Systems for Demanding Environments Automated Fleet Management and Charging Systems for UAVs High-Performance Actuators and Modular Robotic Manipulators Collaborative Robotic Systems for Adaptive Physical Rehabilitation High-Precision AI-Enhanced Autonomous Navigation Modules Frontline Health Worker Assistant Intelligent Dengue Surveillance in Action AI-powered Impact-based heat stress forecasting IHUB NTIHAC Foundation, IIT Kanpur: focus area- Cybersecurity Real-time Intelligent System Design for Secure Digital Communication Cloud based Smart Video Surveillance System with Application Layer Cyber Physical Systems Security Reliable and Privacy Preserving Data Auditing for FOG assisted Cyber Physical Systems (FOG-CPS) Predictor and Analyzer of Security Threats (PAST): A model-based risk analysis framework for critical interconnected infrastructures Smart Cyber-Physical Security of Electric Powertrains in Autonomous e-Mobility Systems Development of Cognitive Cyber Physical (C2PS) Testbed Novel Security Framework for Internet of Drones Design and Implementation of Secure Service and Attribute-based Authorization Model in Dynamic and Constrained-specific IoT Environment Securing Deep Neural Networks against Adversarial Attacks in Medical Imaging Mitigation of cyber-attacks in power systems using non-linear control system design Design and Implementation of Lightweight Key Management Protocol for Securing Industrial Control Systems Design and development of Cybersecured Smart Power interface for Energy - Local area network (E-LAN) Blockchain and Microgrid: Implementation of a Peer-to-peer Energy Marketplace in India for the Average Joe Design and Implementation of a Secure Scan Test Architecture to Counter Scan-based Side-channel Attacks Development of Machine Learning Models Resistant to Cyber Physical Attacks Cybersecurity of critical infrastructure: National-level Medical Grid System Malware Analysis using Machine Learning Techniques for Industrial Control System Bot Prevention in Cyber Physical Systems Neuro-memristive PUF for Biometric Sensing Chip Smart data agent for location management and privacy A fault attack resistant crypto-accelerator for ultra-lightweight encryption protocols of GIFT family in RISC-V architecture.
