Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the best educational paths and institutions for studying robotics and robo modeling, particularly in India but also considering options abroad. Participants explore various fields related to robotics, career opportunities, and the importance of practical experience in the field.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a deep interest in robotics and seeks guidance on developing skills and finding suitable educational institutions.
  • Another suggests that Mechanical Engineering, specifically with a focus on robotics, is a strong field for pursuing a career in robotics.
  • Some participants propose that institutions like MIT are top choices for studying robotics, while others argue that many universities in Canada, the US, and Europe also offer relevant programs and opportunities.
  • A participant mentions that undergraduate exposure to robotics can come from various engineering disciplines, including Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science.
  • There is a suggestion that practical experience, such as participating in robotics competitions, is crucial for skill development in robotics.
  • One participant raises the question of whether there are specific career paths like robotic engineer or robotic scientist, indicating a need for clarification on job titles in the field.
  • Mechatronic Engineering is mentioned as a potential undergraduate path closely related to robotics, with some participants noting its relevance.
  • Another participant points out that Indian technical institutes are also viable options, although they may be selective.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express a range of opinions on the best educational paths and institutions for robotics, with no clear consensus on a single best option. There are competing views on the importance of specific universities and fields of study.

Contextual Notes

Participants highlight the importance of practical experience and extracurricular involvement in robotics, but there is no agreement on the necessity of attending specific institutions or pursuing particular degrees. The discussion reflects varying levels of knowledge about educational opportunities in India and abroad.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in pursuing a career in robotics, students exploring educational options in engineering and technology, and those seeking information on robotics programs and institutions.

Dude, the best field for robotics is Mechanical Engineering (Sub-Branch: ROBOTICS). I don't know about India a lot so you better ask your professors for the suggestion of best institute in INDIA.

Skill developing can be improved by reading research articles, in general.

Peace!

okay not in India,elsewhere?

If I were you then I would have certaily chosen M.I.T America for such a field.

No university in the world is better in technology then it.

BUT, it depends on your financial resources and of course, your abilities.

GOOD LUCK

I don't know if I understand you correctly, but suggesting that MIT is the only place to go if you want an undergraduate education involving robotics is completely wrong. Most big science / technical universities in Canada and the US / Europe should allow you to take the following, which should, depending on the options you choose, give you varying degrees of exposure to robotics, or the elements involved in robotics:
1) Electrical Engineering (electronics / robotics / controls / sensors / basic programming)
2) Mechanical Engineering (design / controls)
3) Computer Science (programming / vision / AI etc.)

Some places will (usually through one of Mechanical or Electrical Engineering) offer an undergraduate degree with specialization in robotics. My own university did not have this, but it *did* have an undergraduate student-run extracurricular group that designed robots for a robotics competition (the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition). Most of my exposure / work on robotics came in this fashion. Other Universities will have groups that design for other competitions, or the DARPA Grand Challenge, or the Aerial Robotics Competition, or some such.

Focusing on robotics often happens at the Graduate and research level. Many schools have faculty in engineering / computer science working on various aspects of robotics, and that's where you really do every-day work on and with robots. As an undergraduate, you can take part in summer / part-time research with the Research Groups that work in this field, and gain extracurricular experience / knowledge working with robots. That's where going to a school with a strong robotics research program is beneficial, even as an undergraduate (for instance, McGill's Centre for Intelligent Machines, or the Carnagie-Mellon Robotics Institute):
http://www.cim.mcgill.ca
http://www.ri.cmu.edu

You will need to do your research to find schools that offer these things, amongst the other things you're seeking in an undergraduate school. If you are looking for a graduate school, you'll be facing stiff competition from many Iranian and Chinese (and sometimes Indian) graduate students who not only have electrical / mechanical engineering / computer science degrees, but often specialization and experience in control systems and robotics.

EDIT: Just for clarification, are you looking for Undergraduate, or Graduate schools?
 


Additionally, I found this page when I did a Google search for robotics university india, listing Universities in India that offer courses in robotics:

And really, nothing is better for doing robotics, than, well, doing robotics (as a hobby):

Who do you think builds the robots in the first place, and makes them work?

See my advice above; you're probably going to be a mechanical or electrical engineer, or guy with a computer science / mathematics degree. If you want to pursue academia (or spend a few years in graduate school), you can do research IN robotics (things like control systems, artificial intelligence, novel means of propulsion, etc.)

has no one mentioned mechatronic engineering? I always thought mechatronics was THE robotics undergrad.

You do not have to go abroad. I heard the Indian technical institutes are great. Though, they can be very selective.

As I say, some places will offer specialization within the EE or MecE programs, but I think very few have a separate and dedicated robotics program (but you can probably find one if you look hard enough). Though it'll probably be the same thing as the specialization programs with its own name.
