IIT Delhi: The third cohort of the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi's (IIT Delhi) Executive Programme in Robotics is now accepting applications as AI, IoT, and intelligent automation transform how businesses plan, construct, and function. Leading robotics specialists and business executives from the USA and India contribute to the program.

The five-month Executive Programme in Robotics gives students a strong technical foundation and a managerial viewpoint to help them traverse the robotics ecosystem. Participants gain knowledge in designing and controlling robotic systems and networks, creating robotic devices from the ground up both physically and electrically, and developing and implementing robotic applications using programming languages.

"Robotics now sits at the intersection of AI, sensing, and advanced manufacturing and industry needs engineers who can design, program, and deploy intelligent systems responsibly," stated Prof. Arnab Chanda, Program Coordinator and Associate Professor, IIT Delhi, during the announcement. IIT Delhi's Executive Program in Robotics helps professionals develop deep technical capacity, enhance systems thinking, and accelerate innovation across high-impact sectors in India and around the world by combining research-led instruction with practitioner expertise.
