Meet IRIS — the AI Humanoid Teacher
IRIS walks into a classroom, greets students by name, teaches the syllabus in their language and sparks a lifelong love for STEM. Then, in our factories division, the same AI brain drives industrial robots that never miss.
IRIS
Education Humanoid Robot
A teacher that never sleeps, forgets, or plays favourites.
IRIS combines a friendly humanoid form with a powerful on-board AI tutor engine. It delivers lessons, answers doubts, runs interactive quizzes and even takes attendance — becoming the most loved member of any staff room.

Conversational Teaching
IRIS answers student questions in natural speech, adapts explanations to each learner's pace and keeps the class engaged with quizzes and storytelling.
Adaptive Curriculum Engine
AI lesson plans aligned with CBSE / ICSE / state boards — covering STEM, coding, languages and general knowledge with per-student progress tracking.
Multi-lingual Delivery
Speaks Hindi, English and multiple Indian regional languages so no child is left behind, switching languages mid-lesson on request.
Child-Safe by Design
Soft-touch housing, emergency stop, vision-based proximity guard and full COPPA/DPDP-compliant data handling for schools.
From “chalk and talk” to “walk and spark”
In live deployments, IRIS lifts classroom engagement by measurable margins — attendance climbs, shy students ask more questions, and complex science concepts stick through demonstration and dialogue instead of rote learning.
- Daily interactive periods for classes 1–12
- Doubt-clearing sessions at recess & after school
- Coding & robotics club mentor mode
- Parent-teacher evening presenter & compère
- Special-needs friendly pacing and patience

Eyes over every acre of the wilderness
Long-endurance surveillance drones that patrol forest corridors, detect fires in minutes, track poachers at night and census wildlife — streaming live telemetry to forest command centres.
Fire & smoke detection
Thermal + optical AI spots ignition points kilometres before they spread, with geo-locked alerts.
Anti-poaching night patrols
Starlight-grade night vision follows vehicles and humans on illegal trails after dark.
Corridor mapping & canopy health
Multispectral maps track canopy stress, encroachment and species spread over time.
Offline comms relay
Mesh radio payloads keep crews connected where mobile networks never reach.
Training that turns curiosity into careers
SFA Global Academy runs DGCA-aligned drone pilot programs, robotics labs for schools and industrial automation courses — building India's next generation of operators, builders and engineers.
