Dear Abdulla,

The premier institute in Robotics is The Center for Robotics and Mechatronics at IIT (Indian Institute of Technology), Kanpur which offers a Master's Degree Course in Robotics. Other Institutes in India offering courses in Robotics: National Institute of Technology, the University of Hyderabad- M.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Jadavpur University, Kolkata, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, Prasanthinilayam, Tamil Nadu- M.Tech, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore (Tamil Nadu) Mechanical (Robotics as an elective subject).

Dear Abdulla,

The subject Robotics is available for higher study in M.Tech or ME. Level programmes. Therefore you can also obtain a BE/ B.Tech. Degree in Mechanical or Electrical or Electronics Communication or Computer Engineering Branches. Specializing in design and control in robotics is close to mechanical engineering. If you wish to specialize in control and hardware design of robots, a B.Tech. Degree in Electrical or Electronics or Electronics and Communication Engineering is the best-suited qualification. B.Tech. Computer Engineers can look at hardware design in robotics. The control part of the robot is all about certain aspects of Electrical Engineering. A specialisation in robotics engineering will lead to potential job opportunities in manufacturing, research, mining, nuclear, power plant maintenance and variety of other areas. In addition, there is a great scope for qualified experts and researchers in Research and Development related to Robotics.
