Welcome to the Department of Robotics and Automation. The Department, established in the year 2020-21, with an intake of 60, is approved by All India Council for Technical Education(AICTE) and is affiliated to Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU)( formerly known as University of Pune).
The Robotics & Automation Programme, comprises two main areas :
- Automation, which has shown significant progression and that is now consistently present in various fields and which deals with use of computers or robots, and information technologies for handling different processes and machineries in an industry. and
- Robotics, which combines construction, operation, and application of robots coupled with computer-based control systems, sensory feedback, and information processing. The use of robotics will increase productivity and has the potential to bring more manufacturing production work back to developed countries.
This is a discipline that gives equal emphasis on hardware as well as software development. Hence the curriculum of this Program gives emphasis on Basics of Robotics, C/C++/Python, Robotic Programming, Robot operating systems,Robot Vision, AI and Machine learning, Sensors and Actuators used in Automation and Robotics, electronics, electrical controls & components such as servo systems, hydraulics & pneumatics, Automation tools such as PLC, SCADA, and DCS etc and softwares used in Automation like LABview, MATLAB..etc
The Department has well Qualified Faculty members and well Equipped Laboratories to impart the required technical skills in students. Regular industrial training, Visits and expert lectures are also conducted for the students so that they become aware of the recent trends in the industry. Along with technical knowledge, the Department also focuses on overall personality development of students as well as faculties. They are constantly encouraged to participate in various co-curricular activities like technical competitions, technical paper presentations, Quiz, Project Exhibitions etc and extracurricular activities.
The department strives hard to prepare students for design, interface, installation, and troubleshooting of industrial robots and automation systems to face this challenging world and aspires for their bright future.
