“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new” - Socrates”

Welcome to the Department of Automation and Robotics at VESIT. The department has been established in the academic year 2022-23, with an intake of 60 students.

The department is well equipped with sophisticated Automation lab, which helps students to get hands-on training on industry grade software's and systems. The department is also well equipped with state-of-art Process Instrumentation and Transducers lab which could be used by students to get hands-on experience on many pilot plant set-ups.

The department has faculty members with varied research interests ranging from automation, control systems, embedded systems, robotics, internet of things, machine learning and artificial intelligence, which provides students with opportunities to take up good quality projects in collaboration with research institutions such as BARC, TIFR, IIT-B and to pursue higher studies in these varied domains.

The department also has tie-up with well-known organizations like, Automation Industries Association, National Instruments and Panache Digilife, for conducting certificate courses and project implementation.

The department has strong contacts with recruiters and experts from Automation and Process Industries, which will provide ample opportunities for students, to get internships and to get absorbed into core industries.

Looking forward to meeting you all in one of the most in-demand branch of engineering of future, the Automation and Robotics engineering.

Dr. Sangeetha Prasanna Ram

Department of Automation & Robotics Engineering

Process Automation Lab

Process Automation Laboratory is Equipped with Latest Technology Control systems including PLC’S with simulators along with SCADA software & DELTA V Distributed Control system from well-known industry brands like Allen Bradley & Emerson Process Management. This Laboratory facilitates students to learn Basic PLC Programming, PLC Panels and simulators, DCS Features , DCS based Control systems etc.


Process Instrumentation Lab

Process Instrumentation Laboratory is a state of the Art Experimental Facility made up of 14 pilot plant set ups. This was designed & developed, which enables students to identify the instruments & Control systems as well as to provide demonstration of working instruments to the students. This laboratory is utilized to study and understand various types of Processes and Role of Instrumentation involved in the same.

It also creates an Industrial Environment for the students to grow them with the Instrumentation utilization. Students can perform various supporting Instrumentation activities Like Calibration, Tuning, mounting, Troubleshooting, Loop Testing, checking which provide them Hands on Exposure to make them comfortable and answerable for their campus preparation. Laboratory consists of various Field Instruments Like SMART Transmitters, Flow meters & Control Valves along with accessories. It is also equipped with Single Loop PID Controllers & Variable Frequency Drives.

All the control system testing equipment are available, Demonstration kits (RAM & ROM), Universal Programmer, Cards for ISA, PCI and different connectors are kept for better understanding of computer architecture.Magnetic Levitation Control System is also available in this lab for performing advanced control system experiments.


Analog & Digital Lab

Laboratory courses on Analog & Digital Electronics are conducted in this lab. The Lab is adequately equipped with Test equipment for Electronic Devices & circuits, digital trainer kits, Power supplies, Oscilloscopes & measuring instruments


Robotics Lab

The Robotics Lab is equipped with essential tools including 3D printers, laser cutters, and small robotic arms. These resources are crucial for fostering innovation and hands-on learning among students. The 3D printers enable rapid prototyping of designs, while laser cutters facilitate precise fabrication of components. Small robotic arms provide practical experience in automation and control systems. Together, these tools empower students to explore and implement cutting-edge technologies, preparing them for careers in engineering and technology-driven industries.


Dofbot AI Vision Robotic Arm

This Raspberry Pi robotic arm is mainly composed of an aluminum alloy bracket, a sturdy chassis, a multi-function expansion board, 6 bus servos and a 300,000 pixel camera.


3D-Printed Pick and Place Robot

This college lab leverages cutting-edge 3D printing technology to create a fully functional pick and place robotic arm. This in-house creation fosters hands-on learning in robotics, allowing students to explore the principles of motion control and object manipulation.


Additive Manufacturing

3D printing (additive manufacturing) flips traditional creation on its head. These machines use a computer-controlled process to build objects layer by layer, enabling complex designs and a wider range of materials compared to subtractive methods. This technology is revolutionizing prototyping, product development, and various fields.


Laser Cutter

Laser cutters are high-tech fabrication tools. They use a powerful laser beam, controlled by a computer, to precisely cut, engrave, or etch various materials. Think of it as a light-based scalpel, allowing for intricate designs and clean cuts on metals, plastics, wood, and more. This versatility makes laser cutting a valuable tool in prototyping, manufacturing, and various creative fields.
