The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) has launched its Executive Programme in Robotics. This initiative aims to bridge the skill gap by equipping learners with the expertise to innovate, lead and thrive in the technological landscape.
The program is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of robotics, it covers the entire spectrum, from foundational principles to advanced applications. Learners will acquire hands-on experience in constructing robotic devices, programming, and utilising cutting-edge tools such as sensors, actuators and the Robotics Operating System (ROS) to design and coordinate sophisticated robotic systems.
Speaking on the programme’s announcement Professor Arnab Chanda, Associate Professor, Centre for Biomedical Engineering, IIT Delhi said, “Robotics is no longer a concept of the future—it is present, reshaping industries and improving lives. Through the Executive Programme in Robotics, we aim to cultivate a new generation of innovators and leaders who will pioneer advancements in robotics, driving growth and sustainability. With unparalleled insights and practical knowledge, our learners will be empowered to navigate the complexities of this dynamic field, seizing opportunities that redefine the industrial landscape.”
Industry based curriculum
The curriculum includes six meticulously developed modules: Fundamentals of Robotics and Automation; Sensing and Perception; Actuators and Motion; Modelling, AI and Machine Learning; Embedded Control and Mechatronics and Applications and Future Directions. Learners will also work with industry-relevant tools such as CAD software, 3D printers, and Arduino, enabling them to engage in real-world projects and gain industry-aligned skills. Additionally, the programme highlights multidisciplinary opportunities in roles such as Robotics Engineer, Mechatronics Engineer, and Robotics Programmer.
The programme will be delivered through live interactive sessions in a Direct-to-Device (D2D) format, featuring industry-relevant lectures, tutorials, hands-on tools and projects. Learners will also benefit from an exclusive one-day campus immersion at IIT Delhi, gaining direct exposure to the institution’s renowned academic and research excellence.
