Giving birth to innovative ideas, technical thoughts


KANPUR: Creativity and innovation was at it's best at Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj University (CSMU) University, as the annual technical festival Techmart-09 organised by the University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET) kicked-off to a flying start, on Monday.
This is the tradition of providing a platform to innovative ideas and technical thoughts. The event started with technical lecture from IIT-K professor Amitabh Mukherjee, where he discussed cognitive computing and developing robots which can sense emotions and sentiments.
