This pioneering collaboration aims to close the education gap in automation, advancing robotics skills and industry integration in India.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith India\u2019s emphasis on education, upskilling, and youth employment, investing in high-quality engineering and technical education is vital for our future,\u201d said Subrata Karmakar, President Robotics &amp; Discrete Automation Division, ABB India. \u201cABB Robotics\u2019 collaboration with NAMTECH is pivotal to equip students with the skills necessary to succeed in the new era of automation. By integrating ABB\u2019s expertise in robotics and automation with NAMTECH\u2019s innovative educational approach, we will support the continued growth of India\u2019s manufacturing sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cooperation between NAMTECH and ABB Robotics is a first of its kind. It brings together a pioneering, industry-aligned education institute and an industry leader to innovate and alter the face of the manufacturing sector \u2013 not just in India, but at a global level,\u201d said Arun Kumar Pillai, Director General, NAMTECH. \u201cRobotics adoption by Indian companies is in its early stages and there is a shortage of talent in robotics engineering in the country. With India\u2019s vision of \u2018Atmanirbhar Bharat\u2019\u00a0(\u201cSelf-reliant India\u201d) in the manufacturing sector, this collaboration will play a critical role in the growth of the robotics sector as well as help create a globally competitive talent pool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NAMTECH aims\u00a0to create a high-quality, world-class engineering workforce proficient in next-generation technologies, with a strong emphasis on Industry 4.0, sustainability, and management principles. NAMTECH\u00a0is structured around five schools and several competency centers \u2013 including the School of Manufacturing Technologies, the School of Manufacturing Design and AI, the School of Sustainability, the School of Robotics, and the School for Social Impact. Each institution is guided by a global academic partner and collaborates with major industry players.<\/p>\n<p>ABB Robotics and the NAMTECH School of Robotics will create an advanced curriculum through international academic collaboration, resulting in hands-on, industry-focused programs. Its goal is to cultivate talent for the wider industrial sector, supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure and global industry leaders like ABB to foster a practical learning environment.<\/p>\n<p>ABB\u2019s robotics experts will lead initiatives in knowledge sharing, research, and industry immersion. The Center will have dedicated staff, faculty, and facilities, expanding as the school moves to its new campus.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, India set a new record with the installation of 8,510 industrial robots, marking a 59% increase from the previous year. This upward trend is expected to continue into 2024 and 2025, highlighting India\u2019s long-term potential for automation. Globally, India now ranks seventh in annual robot installations. The robotics sector is experiencing a surge in job opportunities, particularly for positions including Robotics Engineers, Robot Design Engineers, Application Engineers, and Smart Factory Designers.<\/p>\n<p>This is the latest development in ABB Robotics\u2019 commitment to close the gap in robotics and automation education. With expertise bolstered by a global network of industry and academic collaborators, including educators in over 40 countries, ABB acts as a catalyst for transformation, preparing people for the future of work and enhancing business resilience. NAMTECH\u2019s talent pool, progressive workforce development strategies, and strong collaborations with industry, academia, and government, will accelerate the rise of smart manufacturing &amp; robotics, positioning India as a global hub for cutting-edge automation solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Source: International Federation of Robotics \u2013 India\u2019s Robot Boom<\/p>\n<p>ABB Robotics &amp; Discrete Automation\u00a0as one of the world\u2019s leading robotics and machine automation suppliers, is the only company with a comprehensive and integrated portfolio covering robots, Autonomous Mobile Robots and machine automation solutions, designed and orchestrated by our value-creating software.
