INFERNO DTU

Team Inferno DTU is a project based technical team, founded in September 2013, with the sole focus on innovation. Earlier, the team used to design and manufacture Go karts to take part in multiple national level racing competitions. Since then the team has come a long way in building a strong reputation for itself by winning numerous awards. Recently we secured the first rank in the Innovation Round for implementing lane and object detection using machine vision in the kart, at the International Go Kart Championship (IGC) 2018. After innovating a lot in the field of Go karting, the team felt the need to shift towards the domain of mechatronics, that has a much wider scope for innovation as compared to our previous project. We, at Team Inferno DTU, completed our and the University's first Martian Rover prototype, A.R.G.U.S, in December 2018. We, along with A.R.G.U.S., competed with 32 teams from 5 countries at the Indian Rover Challenge held at Manipal Institute of Technology from 9th to 12th of January 2019. In 2019 we learned greatly from teams first event and participated in International Mars Hackathon where we positioned 3rd globally. In 2022 we participated in University Rover Challenge held at Utah, USA which gave the team a new exposure to the field of mars rover manufacturing. The team used its experience at International Rover Challenge, 2023 hence got the excellence award(project management).
