PROTO* Lab is a digital technology makers community at AU BTECH. The focus of PROTO* is ‘Making Digitalisation’ using protocols, data processes and off-the-shelf products to amplify societal potential, while critically inquiring into its capabilities, concerns and controversies.
As a research lab, it is a pedagogical place, sensitive to reflective technologists seeking to discern tacit knowledge from technology making. As a platform, it gathers international and local networks of technologists, designers, entrepreneurs, artists and security activists for shaping new businesses and value transactions.
The purpose of PROTO* is to facilitate and build novel business models, innovative services and collaborative networks for transitioning society into sustainable enterprises and communities.
To follow the community and ongoing projects of PROTO* Lab, visit the dedicated site for prototyping and live experiments.
New equipment is added to the lab on a continuous basis.
You seek support and resources to engage in R&D projects within digitalisation. The facility aims to support prototyping, product development and testing activities by providing a collaborative space for knowledge sharing for business developers, programmers, designers and engineers, as well as technical resources and tools to develop prototypes using 3D printing, IoT, AI, cloud and mobile solutions.
PhD students, researchers and industry partners are welcome to join existing projects or propose potential new ones. We encourage anyone with shared interests to come and visit the lab.
Assistant Professor Kartikeya Satish Acharya is the lab lead and designer of PROTO* Lab.
