Quadruped robots are fast evolving from backflipping tech demos to serious testbeds for computer systems navigating the real world — the same functions humanoids need to unlock to truly become commercially viable.
At SYNAPSE, the global AI conclave, audiences enjoyed live banter, quirky pauses, and unexpected moments that showcased the evolution of the world's first robot citizen.
SSI Mantra became the first surgical robotic system to be approved by CDSCO this month to remotely perform robotic-assisted surgeries using wireless technology.
India’s rapid advancements in Digital Public Infrastructure have been remarkable, showcasing its leadership in digital innovation and offering adaptable models for the world.
It is estimated nearly 60,000 robotic-assisted surgeries are now performed in India every year across specialities, with growing popularity in not just metros, but Tier 1 & 2 cities, too.
Using hydraulics and clockwork, engineers could make wondrous devices that are now lost. These were more credible than claims about pre-modern Indian technology such as UFOs and genetic engineering.
Some devotees & priests feel that this represents a new horizon in human innovation while others worry that using robots to replace practitioners is a bad omen.
The collusion between the new class of bureaucrats, politicians, businessmen and trade union bosses perpetuates itself partly because of the short-run benefits and partly because they see no way out of the system, wrote author MH Mody in 1980.
IAF is firming up plans to revamp airlift capabilities with medium transport aircraft that will be assembled in India & serve as its main workhorse. Embraer is leading contender as of now.
India does not have a robust robotics industry. Editors must perform due diligence. With regard to robotics, India is at best a middle power with the best ones far ahead. One needs to be truthful to oneself before improving. Secondly, the Galgotias episode is not a brand destruction of India at all because it is not even a name heard by even Indians themselves. If it was an IIT or even an NIT caught up in this, then it would truly have been a face palm for Indians. Thirdly, China is not on a pedestal regarding these innovations especially since its name keeps coming up in IP theft. We must stop being carried away by headlines.
Think of Ashoka University. JNU. Even the IITs and IIMs. A culture of mediocrity is taking hold in higher education.
