Treelabs started as a concept in March 2009. A few companies have already started, and are currently at various stages of their startup phase. IIT-Bombay has started supporting TreeLabs with some infrastructure. A functional lab has been set up in N5-bay of Electrical Engineering Department of IIT-B.
Collaborative projects have also been initiated with large corporations.
Specifically, TREELABS has initiated work in the following areas:
- Solar Thermal Energy Collection
- Electrical Power Measurement
- Queue Management System
- Networked Programmable Moduler Instruments
There are several ideas and inventions that are in the pipeline:
- High Efficiency Fluorescent Lamp
- Accurate Measurement of distance/ Speed of Light
- Low Cost CNC Machines
- Increasing Warehousing Efficiency
- Information encoding in images
There are many other ideas on the Treelabs roadmap. These products and or inventions, may have far-reaching impact on society at large. |
