Show answer & explanation
Answer: C
The answer is Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. The question asks: To which university did Team Quantum Realm belong? This answer follows from the specific fact stated in the supplied 18 September current-affairs notes. Read the unit and subject together: a count of aircraft, a number of people, a location and a calendar date answer different kinds of questions even when they appear in the same news item. Amrita University Team Recognised in ISRO Robotics Challenge Team Quantum Realm from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham secured second place in the ISRO Robotics Challenge 2026. The team received a cash prize of: ₹7 lakh The competition involved developing autonomous drone systems capable of operating in environments where GPS navigation is unavailable. The award was presented during National Space Day-related celebrations in Ahmedabad. Why Is GPS-Free Navigation Important? Spacecraft and robotic systems operating on the Moon or other planetary surfaces cannot depend on ordinary terrestrial GPS signals. Such systems need alternative methods, including: Computer vision Inertial navigation Sensor fusion Autonomous route planning Exam Points Team → Quantum Realm Institution → Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Competition → ISRO Robotics Challenge 2026 Prize → ₹7 lakh This is a source-based quiz: estimates, reported snapshots, proposals, pending approvals and scheduled events should retain those qualifiers. In particular, a proposed investment does not establish completed spending, and an announced event does not establish that distribution has already happened. Use the surrounding context to distinguish the tested fact from nearby numbers and institutions.
