A long journey: 80 low-cost robots from igus for research at Indian higher-education institutions2019-02-03
Increasing collaboration between Germany and India – The governments of the two countries have committed themselves to this goal. These efforts were intensified when the Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, came on a visit to meet Angela Merkel in Berlin in July last year. With 1.3 billion inhabitants, said Merkel, India is a strong partner for Germany. It was now the time to implement the declaration of intent that the two countries had signed with the aim of consolidating their cooperation with each other. Closer collaboration in the areas of research and teaching is one important aspect of this declaration. The topic of robotics and automation technology is a new field of interest at higher-education institutions in India and, in some cases, has only been explored to a very limited extent. Vangapandu Venkatanagaraju is working on behalf of the Indian government in order to set up the knowledge-transfer process between Indian and German engineers. When visiting Automatica and looking for robots to be used for teaching purposes, his attention was drawn to robolink, the cost-effective modular system of the motion plastics specialist igus. This led to the idea of equipping universities and colleges with 80 robot arms in the area of automation technology. |
