About

Robots are being used for a range of tasks including the ones that are repetitive, dirty and dangerous for humans. Robots are being used for searching and mapping out areas that are unreachable to humans including other planets and battlefields. On the pace with which robots are progressing, soon there would be more advancement in three main fields including battery size, life and weight, swarm robotics and artificial intelligence.

Future robotics would be long lasting as well smaller. And these robots would prove useful in the tasks of exploration and clear up operation. Right now, the artificial intelligence is very basic in robots but it is expected to get better with ability to act and think in future. This would let them do almost everything that a human can do. Swarm robotics would also be an imperative development in robotics in near future. These robots would control various cooperating robots. Future robots might not need human control for performing various tasks.

The Robotics lab basically facilitate the students to understand, design and learn robotics to solve real life problems using Fire Bird V & VI mobile Robots.
