IURS has been working closely with policymakers and lawmakers to introduce regulations in the robotics education field in India to ensure that students receive a minimum guaranteed level of up-to-date knowledge rather than being cheated by many organisations looking to quickly profit from students' eagerness to learn. A similar effort to introducing standards within robotics is being pursued to enable low-cost applications to emerge.

A new team of individuals competed as the IURS team in 2006 with a slightly higher budget of $ 1500 and had by this time managed to improve the performance of their AUV. Realizing the dire lack of talent due to a lack of focused and up-to-date education and the unavailability of low-cost robotics parts, the IURS team worked to register itself as an NGO specialising in research and education in the field of robotics.
