To organise Global Robotics Summit in July
Telangana has become the first state in the country to launch a State Robotics Framework with a vision of “Creating a sustainable robotics ecosystem in Telangana that champions innovation, entrepreneurship, and research and development, positioning the state as a leader in the field of robotics.”
This is the sixth framework in line being formulated and launched by the Emerging Technologies Wing of the ITE&C Department. The other frameworks launched were blockchain in 2018, Drones framework – in 2019, AI in 2020, the Cloud Adoption Framework in 2021, and in 2022 SpaceTech Framework. Thus, Telangana has become a pioneer in embracing emerging technologies and a role model for other states to emulate.
The Framework is a comprehensive roadmap that outlines the state’s vision for the development of the robotics ecosystem in the state and contributing to the growth of the industry in the country. The framework was developed by the Emerging Technologies Wing of the ITE&C Department in collaboration with the All India Robotics Association and inputs from academia, industry experts and stakeholders.
The framework focuses on leveraging robotics technology to drive growth and development across identified four key domains – agriculture, healthcare, industrial automation and consumer robotics. The key points in the framework are that the state will set up a Robo Park equipped with testing facilities.
state shall set up a separate body called the Telangana Robotics Innovation Centre (TRIC) which shall be responsible for the implementation of this framework and will be the nodal point to implement the key pillars of the framework.
At the occasion, the state also signed MoUs with five organisations, including IIT Hyderabad, ART PARK IISC, GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL), AgHub (PJTSAU) and All India Robotics Association (AIRA).
In addition, the state of Telangana is planning to organise a Global Robotics Summit to showcase its growing robotics ecosystem and attract investments from across the world. Launching the framework, KT Rama Rao, Minister for IT, MA&UD, and Industries, Government of Telangana said, “This Robotics Framework is a shining example that Telangana wants to show to the nation and the world that we welcome investors, startups and robotics enthusiasts. But also, we like to see a perceptible positive impact on the society at large. Wiith the framework in place, our vision is to “Create a sustainable robotics ecosystem that champions innovation, entrepreneurship, and R&D, and position the state as a leader in the field of robotics.”
