School of Engineering and Technology
B.Tech (Robotics)
A multidisciplinary programme combining mechanical engineering, electronics, computing, and AI – training engineers who design, build, program, and deploy robotic systems for industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, healthcare, and space applications.
About the Programme
Robotics Engineering is Metro University’s most multidisciplinary programme – bringing together mechanical design, electronics, embedded programming, computer vision, AI, and control theory into one coherent curriculum. Students work with physical robots from Semester II. The full-scale Robotics Lab houses industrial robot arms (KUKA, UR10), autonomous ground vehicles, drone platforms, and ROS-enabled workstations. Graduates work in manufacturing automation, aerospace, defence, healthcare robotics, autonomous vehicles, and research institutions.

Curriculum Overview
Hands-on from Semester II
Students build and program physical robots from Semester II. The lab is a workshop, not a showroom – every student leaves every lab session having made or programmed something.
ROS as the professional standard
ROS 2 (Robot Operating System) is the industry standard for robotics software. Students learn and use it from Year II through graduation – just as professionals do.
Multidisciplinary design projects
Each year’s project requires integrating mechanical design (CAD), electronics (PCB, actuators), programming (Python, C++), and AI
– reflecting how real robotics teams work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know programming before joining?
No prior robotics or programming experience is not needed. Python and C programming begin in Semester I.
Is this more mechanical or computer-oriented?
Both equally. You will learn mechanical design (25%), electronics and embedded systems (25%), and software and AI (50%). Students who enjoy working across all three domains thrive here.
What industries hire robotics engineers?
Automotive (Tata Motors, Mahindra), manufacturing automation (Bosch, ABB, FANUC), defence (DRDO), space (ISRO), healthcare, and the growing robotics startup ecosystem.
What is the capstone like?
The capstone is a complete autonomous robotic system – it must sense, plan, and act autonomously. Students defend it before an external industry jury with a live demonstration.
