ARK Foundation Robotics Lab

A world class teaching, instruction and research facility dedicated to intelligent systems, healthcare innovation and sustainable technology solutions.

What We Do

Autonomous robotics research and innovation at the ARK Foundation Robotics Lab.

Cutting edge research and innovation

We develop autonomous drones, underwater robots and ground vehicles. Using AI and robotics, we address challenges in agriculture, water monitoring, healthcare and clean energy.

Students gaining hands-on experience with robotics equipment and tools.

Education and capability building

Through the Robotics & Autonomous Systems (RAS) major, students gain hands-on experience with industry grade tools and projects.

Community members participating in agricultural drone training.

Community impact

We train farmers, women and youth in agricultural drone use. We also create affordable robotic solutions for public health, farming and sustainability in partnership with leading institutions and industry.

Research and community projects

At Plaksha University, robotics is not confined to the classroom. It is pursued at every academic level, from undergraduate study to PhD research. Students work on projects that combine computing, mechatronics and human interaction, pushing the boundaries of what machines can do.

By exploring new ideas and building out-of-the-box solutions, students demonstrate how future engineers can reimagine technology to address real-world challenges. The featured video highlights examples of robotics work emerging from the Plaksha campus.
