The Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B) put up one of the most attractive and innovative displays at Mumbai GPO's District Philatelic Exhibition — Mumbaiimpex-2019 — inaugurated on Wednesday. The display showcased an innovation in which a robot picks up parcels and delivers them at the right locations. The institute's Design Innovation Centre (DIC) and E-Yanta Lab developed the state-of-the-art exhibit.

The Indian Post conducts the regional exhibition to revive interest in philately and contemporise the concept of collecting stamps for the new generation. According to IIT-B's public relations officer, "The institute rose to a challenge posed by the postal department to bring a zing to the event through a robotic display symbolising the role of automation in the logistics of the postal service."
