AI & Robotics Technology Park (ARTPARK) @ IISc, which is an innovation-Hub arrange underneath the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems, supported by the Dept of Science and Technology (DST, Govt of India), Dept of IT-BT Govt. of Karnataka and the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI), to advertise translation of deep-tech improvements in AI & Robotics into impactful merchandise and options, showcased ten ventures underneath its Startup @ ARTPARK program and CAMRAS Manufacturing Accelerator setup by MHI.

Hon’ble Finance Minister of India, Smt (*72*) Sitaraman, and 72 delegates from G20 international locations had been impressed by all of the demos showcased by ARTPARK. Chirathe Robotics’ quadruped robotic – Baghira along with XTOL-15 and telepresence ARTBOT from Aham robotics stole the present with their splendid working fashions.

ARTPARK @ IISc showcased a quadruped robotic from Chirate Robotics; GigaMesh and GigaSat options from Astrome; Indigenous Robotic Components developed by Gati Robotics; Private 5G enterprise service by Niral Networks; Intelligent Autonomous sUAS platform – UAVIO; newest DGCA-approved mapping and spraying drone by General Aeronautics; AlgoFET – the UAV Autonomous Charging system; Mobile telepresence options from Aham robotics; STEM Based Learning Solutions by STEMpedia and The Innovation Story.

Prof Bharadwaj Amrutur, Research Head and Director, ARTPARK, mentioned, “Governments throughout the globe have understood that expertise and growth go hand-in-hand. We are glad to see that the finance ministers and central financial institution governors of the G20 international locations additionally consider in the identical and have devoted their invaluable time to see the influence of futuristic applied sciences being developed by one of probably the most superior R&D hubs in India, ARTPARK @ IISc. Our imaginative and prescient is to create an inclusive platform to allow startups to harness the newest advances in AI, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems to ship options at scale for fixing the urgent issues of India and different growing nations in Logistics, Healthcare, and Skilling”

Details concerning the demos showcased by ARTPARK as per totally different industries:
