What We Do
Cutting-edge research and innovation
We develop autonomous drones, underwater robots and ground vehicles, using AI and robotics to address challenges in agriculture, water monitoring, healthcare and clean energy.
Education and capability building
Through the Robotics & Autonomous Systems (RAS) major, students gain hands-on experience with industry-grade tools and projects.
Community impact
We train farmers, women and youth in agricultural drone use, and create affordable robotic solutions for public health, farming and sustainability in partnership with leading institutions and industry.
Key Projects
Drone based precision agriculture
Improving crop yield and resource efficiency using drones, IoT sensors and AI algorithms.
Autonomy for surface vehicles
Adaptive environmental sampling for coral reef health, wildlife monitoring and oil spill detection.
Tethered drones for public health
Tethered drone systems for mosquito eradication and defence applications.
Multi-modal sensor fusion
Combining satellite and drone data to create high-quality datasets for machine learning in agriculture.
Research and community projects
Research and community projects
At Plaksha University, robotics is not confined to the classroom, it is pursued across all levels, from undergraduates to PhD scholars. Students work on projects that blend computing, mechatronics and human interaction, pushing the boundaries of what machines can do.
By exploring innovative ideas and building out-of-the-box solutions, these projects demonstrate how future engineers are reimagining technology to address real-world challenges. The featured videos highlight a few examples of the robotics work emerging from our campus.
