Descripción/abstract
Robotics can offer numerous opportunities to a wide range of market domains in a developing country like India, such as manufacturing, agriculture, transport and logistics, space exploration, etc. However, the use of robotics in India has been mainly challenged by the high cost of adoption, lack of accessibility, and the lack of skilled talent in robotics technology. The current project, IRAS-HUB, addresses the lack of skilled talent in robotics technology in India by the establishment of three hubs in robotics and autonomous systems (RAS). Project IRAS-HUB will achieve the following results: 1. 3 RAS hubs set up at and equipped with prototyping equipment and robotics software in three Indian HEIs. 2. 22 faculties from Indian HEIs will be trained in RAS by reputable researchers and experts from EU HEIs. 3. 8 courses in robotics at Indian HEIs will be developed and/or modernized. 4. 1 standardized training program will be developed for the continued learning of working professionals in RAS. 5. 3 industry-driven pilot projects in RAS will be developed in India, one in each Indian HEI. 6. 220 senior UG and PG students will be taught through the developed and modernized semester-long courses. 7. 60 working professionals in RAS from other Indian HEIs and robotics industries will be formally trained in RAS through the developed training program. Project IRAS-HUB envisions to achieve the following impact: 1. Development of highly knowledgeable and skilled human resources in RAS in India. 2. Promotion of knowledge generation in robotics technology through basic and applied research. 3. Development of robotics technology for problem-solving in diverse sectors of India such as agriculture, transportation, etc. 4. Promotion of competencies, capacity building, and training to nurture innovation and start-ups and aspiring entrepreneurs in robotics. 5. Internationalization and modernization of Indian HEIs by connecting Indian HEI’s with global efforts in robotics education.
