Where our R&D comes to life

Flagship Project

Humanoid Robot — Built on IoT & Embedded Systems

Our flagship research project is a humanoid robot platform engineered entirely in-house, combining three layers of technology into one working system:

  • Embedded control layer — microcontrollers driving motion, balance and response logic in real time.
  • Sensor & actuation layer — motors, servos and sensors giving the robot awareness of its environment.
  • IoT connectivity layer — network communication for remote monitoring, control and data logging.
  • Machine learning layer — on-device models for vision and decision-making, so the robot reacts to what it sees rather than following fixed scripts.

The project is an ongoing R&D effort and also doubles as a live training platform — trainees in our Robotics and Embedded/IoT tracks work directly on its subsystems.

Under the Hood

Four layers, one intelligent system

Embedded Layer

Microcontroller firmware handles real-time motion control, coordination between joints, and safe fallback behaviour.

Sensing Layer

Sensors feed live data on orientation, obstacles and touch back into the control system for responsive behaviour.

IoT Layer

Wireless connectivity streams status and telemetry, and accepts remote commands for monitoring and control.

ML Layer

On-device models interpret camera and sensor input to recognise objects and make real-time decisions.
