IISc Bangalore to Launch Drone Manufacturing, Robotic Courses
Indian Institute of Science (IISc) will be adding another course to its curriculum from July 2019. This new course is on Artificial Intelligence and is named Advanced Manufacturing Programme.
Those who are interested in learning about making walking robots, manufacturing drones and more such things about artificial intelligence have the opportunity to learn about these things from the new course that is being started at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore.
The name of the course is 'Advanced Manufacturing Programme' and it is a part of the IISc’s Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM). The programme will commence in the month of July in 2019 and it is a collaborative effort of CPDM with Centre for Sustainable Technologies, Mechanical Engineering, Instrumentation and Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, Materials Engineering, and Management Studies departments of the Indian Institute of Science and Robert Bosch Centre for Cyber-Physical Systems.
IISc has called for tenders on Thursday for the programme for setting up a Digital Factory at the Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing.
