robotics-automation

In this contemporary world, a robot can do what a human mind can imagine and also a robot can do what human muscle power is incapable of. With advancement of innovation in Artificial Intelligence (AI), robots assist humans in every domain. Robotics and Automation is a new branch of Engineering that involves design, development and operation of robots, a branch that is an integration of several engineering disciplines like electrical, mechanical, electronics, computer science and artificial intelligence.

The department of Robotics and Automation was established to achieve the increasing demand for skilled engineers in the field of Industrial Automation. This unique programme is tailored to prepare quality Automation Engineers for various application segments like manufacturing, defence, food, aerospace, medicine and other industries and services.
