Project Altair

As 2025 fades into the horizon, Project Altair stands like a traveler who crossed mountains and storms, carrying victories in one hand and lessons in the other. From stepping onto the URC for the very first time and securing a place in finals, to evolving Musafir 2.0 into 3.0, every challenge shaped our journey and every achievement lit our path. Some dreams waited, unfinished, but even stars take time to align.

Now, with hearts shaped by reflection and eyes filled with hope, we have entered a new dawn. May 2026 be a canvas of courage, innovation, and shared joy, for every individual and for Project Altair as one united constellation. Wishing everyone a bright, prosperous and very Happy New Year from Project Altair!

On the way to another milestone up ahead!

Project Altair is delighted to announce that we have secured a position in the International Rover Challenge 2026, emerging as one of only 35 teams chosen for the onsite finals this year. After the highly competitive down-selection in the System Design and Development Review (SDDR), these 35 remarkable teams advanced to the Finals at the Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal, Udupi, Karnataka, from 28 January to 2 February 2026.

As we take this next step, we aim to elevate our rover with more passion, focus, and belief. We are really excited about meeting the big leagues this year, so please keep us in your prayers!

Words will forever fall short of what we lived through, and may we never face such pain again. May Allah grant our beloved brothers the highest ranks in Jannah and eternal peace.

Exactly one year ago, we witnessed a loss so devastating that words still struggle to carry its weight. Three bright, kind, and extraordinary souls were taken from us in a moment that scarred our community forever. Their absence remains a quiet ache, one that time softens, but never truly erases.

With profound grief, the IUT Robotics Society remembers and honors the lives of our beloved brothers: Md. Jubair Alam Sakib, Md. Mubtasim Rahman Mahin, and Mir Mozammle Hossain Nayem of the Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering (MPE). Their passing, the result of a tragic incident, left an emptiness felt deeply by any and all who knew them.

We hold their families in our prayers and our hearts. May Allah SWT envelop them in mercy and grant them the highest ranks in Jannah. May their light continue to guide us, and may their memories remain a source of unity, strength and quiet inspiration for all.
