It was founded in 2007 by MIT-Pune, now MIT-WPU. The team was established under the guidance of Prof. Ms. S.H. Kulkarni, Prof. Dr. Saket Yeolekar, and Prof. Dr. Vishwanath Karad, who also played a crucial role in mentoring the team. It started its legacy in 2008 when MIT hosted the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) Robocon competition and became the Indian National Winner. The Robotics Innovation Lab is one of the initiatives taken by the institute to help students get hands-on experience in the field of robotics. The team competes annually in several competitions, the most prominent of which is ABU Robocon.
