A welding robot on display at the Advanced Technologies Centre (ATC) stall at Bharat Future City, where the Telangana Global Rising Summit-2025 is being held, highlights the government’s efforts to enhance technical proficiency among the youth and align training with industry demand through admissions into ATCs across the State.
According to sources, these welding robots developed by a Japanese company can also be used as pick-and-place robots.
“This nine-axis robot costs around ₹30 lakh. The State government is deploying these robots at all ATCs where students have joined the one-year Industrial Robotics and Digital Manufacturing course. We will teach both theory and practice using the Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) technologies and other designing software like autocad,” says Shaik Mustafa, an M.Tech graduate, who is working as a trainer at ATC, Mallepally.
The government collaborated with Tata Technologies to transform 65 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) into ATCs under a memorandum of agreement (MoA), enhancing technical proficiency and aligning training with industry demand.
Explaining the State government’s efforts to provide skill development programmes in advanced technologies, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, during a session at the summit, said they are planning to increase the number to 105 by setting up another 40 ATCs across the State.
