HYDERABAD: The Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IIT-H) incubated startup CRIOT Innovations has struck a fully sponsored research collaboration deal with Technocorpus, Japan. This collaboration will set a stage for manufacturing the internet of things based smart home product.
According to a press release issued by IIT-H, the company is working on building dynamic smart home products that adapt to user behavior. As a part of the collaborative project named MITHRA-CRIOT, the company will be delivering its product named “CRIOT Interface”, which will play a crucial role in collecting data for the behavioral analysis of users.
The data collected through the interface and MITHRA application will be used for lifestyle authentication research in Yamaguchi-Lab, Social ICT Research Center, the University of Tokyo. With enormous data generated during the project, CRIOT aims to progress its R&D on machine learning.
“Datasets collected through CRIOT Interface and MITHRA Application are highly complementary and promising to bring synergistic security and safety to daily life. I am hoping that an innovative idea and solution will come out through this collaboration,” said Kotaro Kataoka, associate professor, department of CSE, IIT-H.
The project involves 10 products and commenced its work on June 15 extending up to September 24 for phase 1. “Amidst the Covid-19 lockdown, work trends all over the world are shifting towards remote workforces, now more than ever the comfort and security at home is proving to be essential. Dynamic smart homes operate by themselves with minimal human interaction,” said Varun Perumalla, chief executive officer and co-founder, CRIOT, a third year BTech student at engineering science department at IIT-H.
