Capacity Building in Robotics & Autonomous Systems in India/ IRAS-HUB
Our Objective
Our objective is to achieve Intelligent Personal Assistant to Support Independent Living of Individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (IPASIL). Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a neurocognitive disorder in the spectrum of cognitive aging, as an intermediate status between normal aging and dementia. The cognitive deficits in MCI do not interfere with the capacity for independence in everyday activities. Rather, the individual usually functions at a suboptimal level, with everyday tasks becoming more effortful owing to the engagement of compensatory strategies to maintain independence. The criterion of independent functioning represents the key distinction between the mild and major neurocognitive disorders and relies on an insightful report by the individual and/or a family member, and a level of good judgment from the clinician.

WHAT PROJECT WILL ACHIEVE
Three RAS hubs set up and equipped with prototyping equipment and robotics software in three different Indian HEIs, namely IIIT-Delhi, IIIT-Hyderabad, and IIIT-Allahabad.
Twenty two faculties from Indian HEIs will be trained in RAS by experts from four EU HEIs, namely UNIGE, Italy, WUT, Poland, URV, Spain and TUC, Greece.
Four existing courses in robotics at Indian HEIs will be modernized and 4 additional courses in robotics will be developed for senior UG and PG students.
One standardized training program will be developed for continued learning of working professionals in RAS.
Three industry-driven pilot projects in RAS will be developed in India, one in each Indian HEI.
Two hundred and twenty senior UG and PG students will be taught through the developed and modernized semester-long courses.
Sixty working professionals in RAS from other Indian HEIs and robotics industries will be formally trained in RAS through the developed training program.
One collaboration platform set up aiming at favoring collaboration between three RAS hubs.
