Kerala startup Alibi Global inks MoU with IIT Bombay Pact enables transfer of Spherical Robot tech for room intervention

 Thiruvananthapuram, May 02: Cyber intelligence and digital forensic startup Alibi Global Private Limited, registered under the Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM), has signed an MoU with IIT Bombay for the technology transfer of Spherical Robot for room intervention.

Spherical Robot is a state-of-the-art surveillance technology developed for defence and law enforcement agencies. It is designed to operate in hazardous environments compromised by hostile forces.

As per the License and Consultancy Agreement, IIT Bombay will offer support to Alibi to scale up production and customize the technology to address the unique requirements of defence and paramilitary forces.

Dr SP Sunil, Director of Operations, Alibi Global, and Prof. Sachin Patwardhan, Dean (R&D), IIT Bombay, signed the agreement at IIT Bombay. 

This compact, tele-operated robot, approximately the size of a handball, can be deployed with ease into difficult terrains, providing real-time panoramic visual feedback to its operators.

Shri Shyam KM, Business Director, Alibi, said the firm has been an active contributor to India's defence and law enforcement sectors for over three years, and is proud to collaborate with IIT Bombay to bring Indian Innovations to the forefront of the global market under the Make In India initiative.

The technology was developed at the National Centre for Excellence in Technology for Internal Security (NCETIS), a centre funded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) at IIT Bombay. The project was spearheaded by Prof. Leena Vachhani and Prof. Abhishek Gupta.

 According to Prof. B.G. Fernandes, Professor-in-Charge, NCETIS, this is one of the flagship projects that is highly regarded by security agencies and police forces.

 KSUM, which was established in 2006 under the Kerala government, works for entrepreneurship development and incubation activities in the state.
