What if a car is operated by hand gestures or an automated rover that cleans the floor? Well, around 90 engineering students from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are working on such innovative concepts to make them a reality. The students, all final year engineering students from reputed educational institutions in the two Telugu States, are here in the city for a two-month internship programme as part of which they work on several artificial intelligence-based projects and developing apps to understand the nitty-gritty of the Internet of Things (IoT). Students from National Institute of Technology (NIT) Warangal, GITAM College of Engineering in Visakhapatnam and GMR Institute of Technology in Srikakulam among others have formed a talent pool that is working simultaneously on various software projects.
