The Centre for Development of Open Hardware (CDOH) at ICFOSS is dedicated to Promoting advancement in open-source hardware. It focuses on research, development, and deployment of cost-effective, sustainable hardware solutions. The center supports startups, students, and researchers by providing resources for designing, prototyping, and fabricating hardware. Collaborating with educational institutions and industry partners, CDOH aims to build a self-reliant hardware ecosystem with minimal reliance on proprietary technology.
CDOH conducts training programs, workshops, and research initiatives in embedded systems, IoT, 3D printing and drone technology. It offers prototyping facilities and fabrication tools for hands-on development. The center also assists government projects by creating custom open-source hardware solutions tailored to public sector needs. Through skill development and capacity-building programs, CDOH ensures that students, professionals, and tech enthusiasts can contribute to the open hardware movement.
