Bangalore: Top centre for robot integration
Robots are turned out to be the best friend of human being. Robots are doing their best and think more than us in all difficult situations. In the robot integration and distribution, Bangalore stood at the top compare to other cities.
Bangalore is integrating 250 robots every year for the city and rest of the country and also deploying industrial robots to make buses, cars and other vehicles.
Ajay Gopalswamy, CEO of Difacto Robotics and Automation said, “Bangalore is a top centre when it comes to robot integration and distribution. Around six companies do the integration work in Bangalore”.
He added, “Bangalore is home to three top robot importers – Fanuc, ABB and Yaskawa and the headquarters of the first two are right here. The city integrates robots imported by these companies.
While we haven’t yet acquired expertise in manufacturing the robots ourselves, things are set to change from next year. A private company is focused on manufacture and we should be seeing an indigenous robot coming out of Bangalore mid-2012”.
“Every year 25 to 30 students choose the course in robotics. It is an inter-disciplinary subject and we invite students from electrical, electronics, computer science and mechanical engineering.
VTU and many colleges in the city offer industrial robotics as an elective. There is no degree in robotics, but people specialize in robotics and acquire a mechanical engineering PhD,” says Professor Ashitava Ghosal of IISc.
Research based on robotics is also conducted under the DRDO lab, CAIR (Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics). Robots have taken their position in medical field for surgeries.
A DRDO official said, “CAIR has developed and provided a number of technological solutions/ products for the civilian sector like its system for the automatic processing of handwritten application forms, intelligent wheelchair for the physically challenged and laparoscopic surgery trainer”.
