Solan, January 20, 2026:
Jaypee University of Information Technology (JUIT), Solan, inaugurated the Drobotics Lab on Tuesday, marking a major push towards experiential and technology-driven education. The newly established facility aims to promote hands-on learning and innovation in areas such as robotics, automation, embedded systems, and AI-based technologies.
The inauguration began with a simple and dignified ribbon-cutting ceremony, led by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. R. K. Sharma, who highlighted the university’s commitment to nurturing creativity, innovation, and practical skill development among students.
Adding a lively touch to the event, a robotic dog demonstration became the centre of attention, impressing students, faculty members, and guests with its interactive movements and responses. This was followed by a traditional lamp-lighting ceremony, symbolising knowledge, progress, and new beginnings—blending cultural values with technological advancement.
A major highlight of the event was an exhibition showcasing the lab’s advanced equipment and project resources, including:
Robotic dog for interactive demonstrations
NVIDIA product family, including Jetson Nano boards and Jetson Thor, showcasing AI and edge-computing applications
Arduino boards for microcontroller-based learning
3D printer for rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing
Robotic cars and modular robotics kits
Various tools and components supporting robotics and automation projects
Students and lab representatives explained the lab’s objectives, stressing its role in strengthening project-based learning, innovation, and research-driven development. Participants actively engaged with the exhibits and explored future opportunities for collaboration and experimentation.
The inauguration of the Drobotics Lab sets the stage for a dynamic learning ecosystem at JUIT, reinforcing the institution’s mission to prepare students for emerging technological challenges through practical exposure and innovation-led education.
