The Indian Underwater Robotics Society, or IURS (registered as the Intelligent Unmanned Robotics Society), is India's first and only non-profit research organisation NGO for the advancement of low-cost robotics and intelligent systems research in developing countries. IURS also imparts education in it is focus areas to improve understanding of and representation in intelligent systems research within developing countries.
IURS designed India's first operational Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)[1][2] to compete at the AUVSI's International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition.[3] IURS is also the first and only Indian research and education NGO to operate in the field of robotics and intelligent systems.
Ever since its inception in 2004, IURS has made many contributions towards furthering robotics education and research in India through involvement with the government, universities and local and international organisations.
