Svaya Robotics, an organization primarily based in Hyderabad, in affiliation with two DRDO labs — the Research and Development Establishment, Pune (R&DE) and Defence Bio-engineering & Electro Medical Laboratory, Bengaluru, (DEBEL) — has developed India’s first quadruped robot and wearable exo-skeleton.
The firm mentioned it has developed the quadruped robot and wearable exo-skeleton as expertise demonstrators with design inputs from R&DE and DEBEL respectively. Both are dual-use robots and have a number of use circumstances in each business and healthcare, Svaya Robotics mentioned on Monday in a launch on the go to of G. Satheesh Reddy, Scientific Adviser to Union Defence Minister and former chairman of DRDO and senior scientists of the 2 DRDO labs to its facility right here.
Seeking to focus on the importance of ‘Make in India’, the corporate mentioned such robots have been now being imported by the nation from the U.S. and Switzerland. They are made for structured environments with restricted capabilities and not fitted to deployment in troublesome to manoeuvre terrains and discipline operational circumstances that Indian defence and safety forces are uniquely confronted with, Svaya mentioned.
Expressing happiness on the progress Svaya made, Mr. Reddy mentioned “development partnerships like these are essential to accelerate development of advanced robotics in India and take them into field trials fast and also keep developing them for dual-use in both defence and industry.” Robotics could be enjoying an important function in enabling Indian defence in each augmenting troopers and additionally in offering unmatched distant reconnaissance capabilities, he mentioned.
Svaya mentioned the quadruped robot was indigenously developed in collaboration with DRDO. It is made for navigating in unstructured terrains to offer distant reconnaissance and inspection for the defence and safety forces which in any other case are usually not protected for people to function in, founder and MD Vijay R. Seelam mentioned.
The exo-skeleton is being developed by Svaya to go well with Indian soldier’s anthropometry and increase soldier power for each strolling lengthy distances with out fatigue and to carry heavy hundreds with out expending a lot effort, he mentioned.
