Team Proboticists is a multidisciplinary robotics team from IIT Kharagpur, comprising students from 1st-year undergraduates to final-year postgraduates. Founded in September 2025, we pride ourselves on rapid execution, completing our first functional Mars rover prototype within months of formation.
Our first rover POLARIX integrates autonomous navigation with LiDAR – IMU fusion, Spectroscopy based scientific payloads, a custom 5-DOF robotic arm, and a fully in-house designed embedded and communications stack.
Beyond building, we give back — our S.U.M.M.E.R. Project has delivered 80+ hours of hands-on robotics training to the next generation of innovators.
We are proudly sponsored by Altium, Ansys, and Protocase.
