Dr. Sumit J. Darak received core research grant (CRG) from DST-SERB for the project titled "Intelligent and Flexible PHY for 5G*".

IIIT Delhi UAV Team - Aurora led by undergraduate students Akhil Jarodia, Aseem Saini and Mukul Chhabra secured 6th rank in the 17th edition of the coveted Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International Student Unmanned Aerial Systems (AUVSI SUAS) Competition held at the US Navy Air Station in Maryland, USA from 12th-15th June 2019. A total of 75 teams participated in the competition. In addition to this, the team has been awarded prize money of $2250. The team used a hexacopter UAV platform which cleared all milestones and deliverables including fully autonomous mission, stationary & moving obstacles avoidance, autonomous air-delivery of a water bottle and object detection & classification.
