Introduction
|
Robotics and Control laboratory was established in the year of 2009. Laboratory infrastructure was developed with the help of the Worldbank based QIG grant. This laboratory mainly focuses on the utilization aspect of electricity. Automation enhances the efficiency of utilization of many industries. When a system is to be automated: its sensors, actuators and controllers should be properly designed, deployed, integrated and programmed. Our goal is to enhance the learning experience of both undergraduate and postgraduate students by providing state of the art technology and the experiences that they need in the industry.
The Robotics and Control laboratory is equipped with industrial robot arms, mobile robots and AGVs. The laboratory also has a range of PLCs and experimental setups and also industrial controllers and FPGAs for control applications.
Many enthusiastic researchers keen on solving difficult questions of Robotics are currently working in the laboratory, most of them are the students who follow research degrees.
