The public-private partnership initiative will provide experiential learning in robotics, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, space technology, drone technology, gamification and design thinking.

The centre will also serve as a training and mentoring space for students and educators, supporting participation in hackathons, competitions and other innovation-driven programmes.

A major attraction at the centre is Nova, an interactive AI-powered autonomous mobile robot, which demonstrates practical applications of robotics and artificial intelligence in an educational environment.

Joshi said the Robotics Learning Centre, along with other initiatives launched by NCERT, would strengthen the organisation’s capabilities in technology-enabled learning and the creation of high-quality educational content.
