Researchers of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati have developed cutting-edge AI-Powered Robots designed to transform border surveillance or security. It’s providing real-time surveillance and continuous monitoring across challenging terrains, officials reported.
This robot developed by Da Spatio Rhobotique Laboratory Pvt. Ltd (DSRL), a startup at IIT Guwahati.
Enhancing Border Security with AI-Powered Robotics
Arnab Kumar Barman, CEO of DSRL, said that these autonomous robots provide significant improvements over conventional security methods like drones, stationary cameras, and manual patrols. Designed for difficult terrains, these AI-powered robots can navigate obstacles and offer continuous real-time surveillance in all weather conditions.
Arnab Kumar Barman said, “Equipped with seamless pole traversal capabilities, adaptive obstacle navigation, and AI-driven reconnaissance, the system is a game-changer for border protection, critical infrastructure surveillance, and strategic defence applications. Our mission is to develop cutting-edge, AI-driven surveillance solutions that address the evolving challenges of national security,” reported PTI.
He also stated, “This robotic system, designed to operate seamlessly in difficult terrains, ensuring 24/7 vigilance. We are proud to contribute to India’s vision of self-reliance in defence technology and are committed to further innovations that strengthen our national security.”
Acknowledgement sent by DRDO to IIT Guwahati – Backed Startup
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) sent acknowledgement for Da Spatio Rhobotique Laboratory Pvt. Ltd (DSRL) potential use in India’s defense system. The Indian Army has already started field trials to assess their performance in real-world scenarios.
Keyur Sorathia, Head – Technology Incubation Centre, IIT Guwahati stated, “The AI-driven robotic surveillance system exemplifies the transformative potential of deep-tech startups in strengthening India’s defence capabilities. The Indian Army actively conducting field trials, the surveillance system is advancing toward large-scale deployment in sensitive areas and military stations.”
In addition to AI-powered ground robots, researchers are also developing security drones to enhance surveillance. These AI-integrated drones can monitor large border areas, track movements and send real-time alerts to security forces.
