IIT Delhi researchers develop India’s first indigenously designed micro-GPU.

The micro-GPU architecture will enable indigenous graphics & display systems for embedded applications.

Led by MTech students Nammi Akash & M. Ravi Teja under Prof. Jayadeva & Prof. Kaushik Saha (EE Dept), it demonstrates programmable graphics rendering on a custom floating-point GPU engine (RTL → Spartan-7 FPGA).“This is the first working, demonstrable indigenously designed micro-GPU from a university in India,” the team stated.

Suitable for industrial displays, low-cost HMIs, e-rickshaw navigators, fishing boat terminals, e-book readers & more. Scalable IP, can target ASIC/FPGA.

Next: 8–16 core vector architecture + toolchain, aiming for 65nm ASIC proof-of-concept.

Bengaluru-based deep-tech startup Armatrix is targeting 10–12 industrial pilots ahead of the full commercial rollout of its snake-like robotic arms in 2028.

Featuring over 22 degrees of freedom, the 3–5 metre arms are designed to navigate hyper-confined, hazardous spaces across the shipbuilding, oil & gas, and nuclear sectors. By housing all electronics in an external sealed box and relying purely on mechanical links, the arms can safely perform inspections, welding, and painting inside highly flammable or high-temperature zones where traditional robots fail.
