Robotics is multi-disciplinary in nature and requires that students learn from and interact closely with students from allied branches of study. The Amrita Robotics Lab has been initiated to provide Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham students a center from which to develop and implement robotic technology. This goal oriented research center will enable students from multiple disciplines to learn, create, and apply knowledge in a variety of advanced topics such as machine vision and image processing, Digital Signal Processing and speech recognition, advanced algorithms, digital architecture development, communication networks, Mechatronics and electronic controls, and Artificial Intelligence, among others.

In this lab students are introduced to various types of machines and their characteristics through practical experience. All types of DC Machines, single phase and three phase squirrel cage and slip ring induction motors, single-phase and three phase transformers, suitable starters and loading arrangements for machines, Kirloskar made DC motor- 3 ph Alternator set and measuring instruments of all types needed for laboratory experiments are available.Each machine is provided with a work bench having well designed movable connecting panels made from thick hylum sheet (with attractive printing on it). Other major equipment includes general-purpose rotating electrical machines & test benches, a variety of single phase & 3 phase transformers, synchronous / DC machine sets and variable-frequency inverters.
In this lab students can perform experiments related to digital electronics (arithmetic and sequential circuits, shift registers, counter etc.)
In this lab students can perform experiments related to digital electronics (arithmetic and sequential circuits, shift registers, counter etc.) using digital trainer kits.
The lab also provides various measurement kits such as Wheatstone bridge and Kelvin bridge for measurement of unknown resistance, Schering bridge for measurement of unknown capacitance and Anderson bridge for measurement of unknown inductance. Certain other experiments on LVDT and Synchro are available as well.
Students do experiments on Torque Measurement Kit, Dead Weight Pressure Gauge,
Students do experiments on Torque Measurement Kit, Dead Weight Pressure Gauge, Level Control Unit and Temperature Measurement Kit. The Lab also contains PC based experiments like Speed Control of Stepper Motor, Speed Control of DC motor and Flow Loop Control.This lab equips students with knowledge on various transducers and their applications, PC based control applications (PID method). Plans are in the making to expand the lab by adding programmable logic controllers and simulation software like LABVIEW.
The Department recently set up a Power System & Simulation Laboratory having 30 computers.
The Department recently set up a Power System & Simulation Laboratory having 30 computers. The latest advanced power system simulation software including PSCAD, ETAP and MiPower have been installed. These will help students to simulate power systems and carry out load flow analysis, short circuit study, relay coordination and harmonic analysis. The latest versions of ORCAD and MATLAB software packages are also provided for proficient computing, simulation and analysis.
The lab also has an electrical panel with relay fitted for experiments, which includes Three Phase IDMT Over Current Relay, Definite Time Over Current-under Voltage Relays, Motor Protection Relay, Transformer Differential Relay, Master Trip Relay, Conventional Test Kit and Numerical Test Kit.
The Power Electronics & Electrical Drives Lab includes hardware experiments conducted
The Power Electronics & Electrical Drives Lab includes hardware experiments conducted for EEE students in order to explore knowledge on the following topics: Study of characteristics of SCR, MOSFET and IGBT, triggering circuits, rectifiers, controlled rectifiers using SCRs and uncontrolled rectifiers using diodes and semi-converter circuits, choppers, dc-dc converters, inverters and dc-ac converters using MOSFETs and PWM techniques.Software experiments are conducted using Microsim OrCAD PSPICE with the latest Version 16 installed in the computer lab for Power Systems.
The workshop provides basic practical knowledge about Electrical and Electronics on
In addition to regular experiments, students take on mini-projects as a part of their workshop practice. During this process, students gain confidence in executing electrical and electronic projects irrespective of their branch of engineering. At the end of the semester, a project exhibition is presented, and this, in turn, motivates students to create more complex projects and to attempt competition in future project exhibitions.
Joining Amrita was a no-brainer for me as the quality of education and placement opportunities seen from the institution’s previous batches were very promising. And for this very reason, my decision to join Amrita was pretty quick. But above all that, the learnings and experiences from Amrita was immense. It not only helped me prepare from a curriculum standpoint but also helped me prepare for the real world out there. A word of advice to all future aspirants, irrespective of your field of interest- be curious and keep learning. Never be afraid of asking the right questions at any time. Always believe in yourself, take smart risks and show the right attitude – you can definitely define your own success.
