Our Projects

A rover is an autonomous or remote-controlled vehicle designed to traverse extraterrestrial terrain. Equipped with specialized sensors and robust suspension, it explores planetary surfaces, collects vital geological samples, and searches for biological presence

A hexapod is a six-legged robot using biomimetic walking gaits for superior stability. Unlike wheeled rovers, it employs Inverse Kinematics to navigate extreme, uneven terrain by lifting and placing each leg, ensuring constant static balance.

The Mechanical Turk at the IITK Robotics Club is an autonomous chess-playing robot. It uses Computer Vision to detect opponent moves, a chess engine for strategy, and a 2-DOF robotic arm with an electromagnet to physically move the pieces.

A Ball Balancing Bot is a dynamically stable robot that maintains its center of gravity over a single spherical wheel. Using omni-wheels and high-speed IMU feedback, it performs continuous micro-adjustments to remain upright, offering 360-degree maneuverability in tight spaces.

StepXplorer is an autonomous stair-climbing robot at the IITK Robotics Club. It uses ultrasonic sensors for distance-based stair detection and stepper motors for high-precision motion control, ensuring stable ascent and real-time failure recovery during vertical transitions.

A Gyrobot is a self-balancing robot that maintains its upright posture using gyroscopic precession. Unlike common two-wheeled balancers, it often uses an internal high-speed flywheel to generate a corrective torque, allowing it to remain stable even when completely stationary.
