Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIOT) is a new technology vertical that has leveraged the convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) along with mobile communication technologies and has led to a massive growth in the intelligent devices that are connected together to solve problems collaboratively.

Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) initiative at IIT Jodhpur aims to create facilities for End-to-End Design, Development, Prototyping and Delivery of AIOT systems for Start-up’s, MSMEs and end user industry, catering to applications of Industry 4.0, agriculture, healthcare, infrastructure, energy, environment and water management.

Two important facilities are created for development of AIOT technologies by faculty and Students of IIT Jodhpur with participation of industry and other academic partners

1. AIoT Fab Facility:

The Fab is equipped with a set of instruments for development & characterization of sensors of various kind that are the foundation of an IoT ecosystem, providing devices with the ability to collect the data. The Fab Facility is in the process of further updation with addition of new instruments. The AIoT Fab also focusses on development of new sensing materials and also targets applications based on photonics, biotechnology and solar cells. It also envisions to develop flexible sensors which can be used for making wearable devices, alongwith other inertial sensors, utilising MEMS technology.

2. AIoT Electronic Manufacturing Unit (EMU)

The AIoT EMU Facility is to be equipped with EDA CAD software for designing targeted sensors, signal conditioning & interface circuit, fabless VLSI/FPGA design, & PCB design. The EMU facility will also house Chip assembly/packaging, Electronic component & assembly, along with hardware and software platforms that are required for developing IoT-enabled AI applications. The EMU will also facilitate commercialization of products with facilities of prototyping, limited manufacturing and pilot production, in line with stakeholders’ strategy/ direction.

The AIoT initiative at IIT Jodhpur is also supported by the AIOT - Innovation Hub Foundation (IHF) that is working as a joint venture Section-8 company between RISL (RajCOMP Info Services Ltd), JCKIF (Jodhpur City Knowledge and Innovation Foundation) and IIT Jodhpur.

Vision

To be a nationally leading hub for innovation, research, and education in Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) by integrating advanced semiconductor fabrication, smart sensor systems, and intelligent computing.

The AIoT Fab Facility envisions enabling the next generation of intelligent, connected technologies—empowering academia, startups, and industry with State of art infrastructure for design, prototyping, and testing.

We aspire to drive transformative impact through:

• Development of indigenous smart sensor technologies, including gas sensors, biosensors, and neuromorphic devices.
• Scalable prototyping of MEMS/NEMS electronics.
• Cross-disciplinary collaboration bridging materials science, electronics, AI, and IoT.
• Serving as a training and incubation ground for future technologists and researchers in India’s AIoT ecosystem.

Our long-term goal is to catalyze a self-reliant semiconductor and sensor ecosystem in India, aligned with national missions such as Digital India, Make in India, and Semiconductor Mission.
