PUNE: Research and development organisations, academia and industries will gather under one roof in Pune for a two-day symposium on robotics and autonomous vehicles starting from April 28.
According to defence officials, the aim of the symposium is to take robotics to the next level in view of improvement of defence robotics technology. The symposium, titled 'Robotics and Unmanned Vehicles', will take place at Research and Development Establishment (Engineers) [R&DE (E) ], an establishment of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). This two-day long event will conclude on Friday.
The symposium will bring together users such as Army, Airforce, paramilitary and police forces, research and development organizations including DRDO, ISRO, BARC along academia like IIT-Kanpur, IISc-Bengalore, BITS-Pilani and Industry in order to synergize the efforts and accelerate robotic development process.
The conference, being arranged as part of the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of R&DE (E) will be inaugurated by W Selvamurthy, chief controller, R&D, DRDO on Thursday morning. Lt Gen (Retd) VJ Sundaram, advisor, National Design & Research Forum will be delivering the keynote address.
Live-demonstration of Robotics and Unmanned systems and exhibition of associated products is also being organized to coincide with the symposium.
"The field of Robotics and Autonomous Vehicles is gaining momentum globally. Development of unmanned vehicles, whether on ground, air or underwater is a major domain of research and development. These systems are extensively used for reconnaissance, surveillance, and target-acquisition and for carrying out remote strikes. So it is need of the hour to take the defence robotics to the next step", said Manish Bharadwaj, a senior scientist and regional PRO of DRDO.
