Major initiatives and Achievements of Robotics in India

Manav

• Manav is India’s first 3D-printed humanoid robot. The two-kilo, two-foot tall robot has an inbuilt vision and sound processing capability which allows it to walk, talk and dance — just in response to human commands.
• Developed by Delhi’s A-SET Training and Research Institute, the humanoid robot is primarily meant for research purposes and is made available to research institutes which offer robotics as a subject of study.
• Manav can also perform activities like push-ups, headstands and can also play football. It uses an open-source code so that it can also be taught to learn and respond like a human child. ....
