Over 130 participate in challenge to build robot janitors
The HinduIndia may soon witness robot janitors in washrooms, if the initiatives carried out by city-based not-for-profit foundation, AI & Robotics Technology Park find success. A not-for-profit foundation received over 130 applications from across India in response to a challenge that required robots to demonstrate janitorial tasks that would be typically performed in a public washroom. The challenge was posted by Bengaluru-based not-for-profit foundation AI & Robotics Technology Park as part of a mission to support, nurture and co-create a robotics ecosystem to make India the global leader in robotics platforms and technologies. The ARTPARK Robotics Challenge is in sync with this vision, giving learners an opportunity to nurture their skills in this space, and create technology solutions for real-world problems that exist in India.” According to Prof. Bharadwaj Amrutur, Research Head & Director, ARTPARK, India deployed 3,200 robots, one of the highest numbers of robot installations, in 2020.
