A Gripping Tale

2007-11-01: One of the keys to the advancement of robotics is the development of new and innovative grippers. Welcome to the future. Advancements in robotics are about doing more with less, and about copying human arm movements for maximum efficiency. But robots do more than human arms can – they lift more, faster and tirelessly. Greater flexibility, lighter weight materials, new technical advances in sensors, a finicky retail environment where purchasing managers are buying less but more variety (mixed palletizing), and a move into new industries like food processing (hygienic design) – these are some of the dominant trends in…

The importance and uses of the educational robotics for the students

The robotics is the branch of the computer science, the mechanical engineering, and the electrical engineering that deals with the construction, the design, the operation and the application of robots as well as the computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.   The educational robots strengthen  and support  the students skills, and they develop their knowledge through the creation, the design, the assembly and the operation of robots .   The educational robotics are very useful in learning that they improve the design and construction of creation which are given in the first instance and later mental form…

Why are schools obsessed with turning kids into robots?

Standardized tests aren’t the only way of measuring intelligence.   Anya Kamenetz is very clear when she says she didn’t set out to write about standardized testing. A 2014 New America fellow and lead education blogger at National Public Radio, she had already written two books about the future of education and wanted her next project to be about innovations in K-12 education. But as she began researching her new book, The Test: Why Our Schools are Obsessed with Standardized Testing—But You Don’t Have to Be, she found something surprising: Innovations weren’t at the center of the story for K-12….

College of Engineering Pune wins Robocon, to represent India in Tokyo!

When Anuj Phegade, a student from College of Engineering Pune (CoEP), came out of the final of Robocon in 2016, he was disappointed by the team’s loss in the competition by just three seconds.   However, this year the team led by Anuj came up with a better ‘bot’ (robot), determined to win. CoEP’s hard work paid off as they won the Abu National Robocon of 2017 on Saturday. The team will now represent India at the international Robocon at Tokyo.   Explaining the game, Yogesh Bhalerao , principal, MIT Academy of Engineering said, “All games are conducted between two…

Robotic Engineering: Scope in India

Let’s accept it. Robots have always fascinated us from our childhood. The entire idea of having someone else do the hard and mundane job with the help of the computer, while with sit back and relax is definitely interesting. However, with the development of technology and extensive research and experiments on robots, it has been found that the Robotics has much depth than can be seen. Much like the tip of the iceberg, the depth of which cannot be gauged with the naked eye. And the scope of opportunities with Robotic Engineering is also on the rise. Let’s take a…

Details and scope of Robotics Industry in India

Purpose The purpose of this article is to provide a basic information to the students from engineering colleges/technical institutions or the beginners who are interested to pursue their career in Robotic Industry.   Description Robotics defines as “technology dealing with the design, construction, and operation of robots”. Robotics encompasses such diverse areas of technology as mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems; computer hardware; and computer software. The Robot Institute of America defines a robot as a programmable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices, through variable programmed motions, for the performance of a variety of tasks.  …

Scope and Career Opportunities in Robotics

What is Robotics? A robot is an automatic mechanical device guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry which enables it to perform tasks assigned to it. It is a system that contains sensors, control systems, manipulators, power supplies and software, all of which work together. Robotics is the branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots,as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. These technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes,…

What is Mechatronics? Scope and Career Opportunities

What is Mechatronics? Mechatronics is a field of engineering that includes study with a combination of various engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, telecommunication, control and computer engineering. The aim of mechatronics is a design process that unifies all the above disciplines of engineering. Mechatronics industry employs both engineers to design and develop equipments and technicians to maintain it. Career Options in Mechatronics The profession of mechatronics includes technicians and engineers. They design and maintain automated equipment. Technicians and engineers work in laboratories, offices or on-site manufacturing plants. The goal is to produce safe and efficient automated equipment. Technicians primarily…

So why learn robotics?

Robotics can be very dynamic to the point of being intimidating. However, robotics helps the young people of today develop skills which are essential for life.   Skills such as critical thinking, decision making, public speaking, being able to work in a team and creative thinking are important for a student’s life in the present and the future. Robotics is not just about building and programming robots but designing, programming, modifying and getting the the root of problems and overcoming challenges.   It builds the resilience of our youth and gets them acquainted with real life engineering challenges and allows…

It’s time we let our kids ‘tinker’

One million children will be cultivated as neoteric innovators — this is the vision of the Atal Innovative Mission. In fact, the Niti Aayog is in the process of establishing 500 Atal Tinkering Laboratories in schools across India towards realising this vision. The objective is to foster in young minds curiosity, creativity and imagination and to inculcate skills like “design mindset”, computational thinking, adaptive learning and so on. The workspaces generated by the new laboratories, along with appropriate tools and equipment, will provide hands-on, DIY (do-it-yourself) experiences. The focus, as expected, will be STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths), which is…
