- To produce trained manpower through degree programmes of B.Sc. (Hons.), Master’s Degree and PhD Degree offered by USCI, Karnavati University and many hands-on trainings
- To take up real time commercial and industrial projects with specific application in the areas of medical, manufacturing industry maintenance support and other relevant areas
- To conduct outreach programmes through technical workshops and hands on training programmes for faculty members and students to disseminate knowledge in interdisciplinary areas
Karnavati Centre for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (KCRAI) at Karnavati University was established on 05th March 2021 to promote educational and research activities in the field of Artificial Intelligence, Fundamentals of robotics programming, simulation and other advance courses. The centre has got AR1440/GP12 type of robotics installed to cater the needs of the students of B.Sc. (Hons.) programmes offered by our Unitedworld school of computational Intelligence. The centre has signed an MoU with M/s. Yaskawa India Pvt Ltd., a Japanese leader for academic collaborations It bridges the gap between industries and our Karnavati University with a distinctive capability to harness the intellectual energy of academia to impact Indian industries. It is established as an interdisciplinary Centre for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in response to the rapidly growing interest of automated industries in robotics and automation in recent years.
KCRAI at USCI is to teach AI and Robotics design to the students of KU, provide solutions to realtime automation and Industry needs. The main focus of the KCRAI is to create and design a simple autoamation projects to control all kind of areas such as home appliance, medical, manufacturing industries etc. To developing the simple prototype models to provide feasible solution to worldwide problems and needs.
The Centre will primarily focus on the following.
- Education at USCI– To facilitate and teach students on importance of varieties of electronic components, actuators, sensors and robotics actions through our international standard course curriculum.
- Higher Education – AI and Robotics Courses will provide a comprehensive educational environment and enable students to gain expertise in upcoming generation robotics and automation systems. By exposing our students to course work from multiple disciplines and preparing them to think about AI and robotics from a complete approach.
