About M.Tech. in Robotics & Automation

M.Tech. in Robotics & Automation is a two-year (4 Semester) full-time postgraduate engineering programme aimed at shaping the student’s managerial and technical skills in the field of engineering. The aim of the Master of Technology in Robotics & Automation (M.Tech.) program is to prepare students for successful careers in the field of Robotics & Automation Engineering as per international standards and to prepare them to become responsible and contributing members of the community.

Robotics, the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, has become a highly relevant and upcoming discipline. It is being increasingly applied to almost every field of activity including improving the standard of living of humans, handling dangerous and hazardous situations, relieving mankind of repetitive and tiring activities, exploring outer space and performing complex medical procedures. Many industries also use robots in their manufacturing facilities and research. For instance, robots are used in areas like high heat welding and continuous handling of heavy loads. They can function tirelessly even in the most inhospitable working conditions. Owing to this, robots are taking over from man most of the manipulative, hazardous and tedious jobs in factories, mines, atomic plants, spaceships, deep-sea vessels, etc. The automation of work through robotics has led to substantial increase in poductivity in these areas.

Given its diverse applications, the robotics field today demands in-depth knowledge of a broad range of disciplines such as electronics, computers, instrumentation and mechanics. A graduate entering the workforce in the area of robotics must be thoroughly familiar with intelligent systems and proficient in computer vision, control systems, and machine learning, as well as the design and programming of robotic systems. Specialization in automation also requires the student to apply a wide range of engineering principles in order to understand, modify or control the manufacture, delivery and maintenance of technology components in a broad range of industries. Graduates must know how to develop and maintain systems that cost-effectively optimise productivity and quality control.

Career Opportunities:

Robotic science has a tremendous scope as a career option as robots play an important role in the industrial sector. They help in speeding up the process of manufacturing and finds tremendous application in the fields of nuclear science, exploration of the sea, designing of bio-medical equipment, etc. A course in Robotics trains and educates a student in the field of artificial intelligence, computer-aided manufacturing, computer integrated manufacturing system, computational geometry, robot motion planning, digital electronics and micro processing. One can expect jobs at manufacturing industries, NASA, private industries, automobiles, appliance and industrial tools. The students who study robotics technologies at a college or technical school are prepared for careers in robot technology, computer controlled machine programming, robotic sales and more. The candidates may pursue higher degrees in Robotics and Automation Engineering, Ph.D degrees in reputed National and International Institutes / Universities.

Unique Features:

The Department has been recognized as Research and Development Centre by Srinivas University for carrying out Research activities leading to M.Sc.(Engg.) by Research, and Ph.D. Degrees. The department offers UG program namely, B.Tech. (Mechanical Engineering), and B.Tech. (Robotics, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning) in addition to the PG programme M.Tech Robotics & Automation. At present, the department has Ph.D. scholars working on Nanomaterials, Composites, Alternative fuels etc.

Being a private university, we have a feasibility to form our own syllabus. Thus we have approached several industrialists and have framed the syllabus according to the industry requirements and prepared an Industry oriented syllabus.

The students of the department will undergo internship in various reputed organizations all over the country. The students participate in various National and International level competitions, events regularly. The department possesses the state of the art research facilities to support the academic programs and research. Several projects of the students have been funded by the Government of Karnataka.

The department has a distinguished record in both teaching and research. The faculty members have excellent academic credentials and are highly regarded. They have publications at National and International levels. Several faculty members serve on the editorial boards of national and international journals, review technical articles for journals on a regular basis and organize conferences and workshops.
