Robotics Lab

The purpose of the robotics lab is to introduce pupils to how a robot operates in general. After receiving training on a number of general robots, students will be able to develop robots with specific purposes by applying the abilities they have gained in other labs and makes the students to understand the basic principle of robotics and AI with the help of multiple robotics platforms, such as TurtleBot, Khepara IV Robot, UR-6 Axis Robot, Lego kits, and computational intelligence software. These configurations in a lab. enhance their skills as per industrial requirements. They also explore the world of robotics with the hands-on experience using micro-controllers (Arduino, RPi and NVIDIA Jetson-Neno) when integrated with sensors, actuators, and camera. The robotics lab also equipped with virtual simulation platform such as ROS, Webots, and MATLAB. Students will be allowed to implement their skills learned in other labs such as AI, embedded and control lab to design special purpose robots.

Industrial Automation Lab

This lab provides instruction in industrial automation, including specialised training on the hardware and software needed to automate business and industrial applications. Candidates receive training on automation tools like PLC to monitor and control their equipment and plant. Flexible controllers with technology features and sophisticated configurations are available in labs. Programes are created to improve the participants' knowledge of the fundamentals of hardware & programming and servicing.

Sensoric Lab

Bosch Rexroth parts have been used to build the Sensoric Lab. The equipment in this lab, which includes various kinds of industrial-grade proximity sensors, hydraulic servo and proportional valves, motors, and different kinds of actuators with various accessories, serves as a platform for learning and research aimed at advancing knowledge of industrial automation and control applications.
