Hyderabad: Military College of Electronics & Mechanical Engineering (MCEME), Secunderabad, under the aegis of HQ Army Training Command, conducted a two-day seminar on Robotics, Autonomous Drone Systems and Additive Manufacturing for Defence Forces.
The seminar provided a vital platform for comprehensive interaction among the Armed Forces, industry, academia and policymakers, fostering synergy towards building indigenous, future-ready warfighting and sustainment capabilities to address emerging operational challenges in a technology-driven battlespace.
The seminar focused on four core themes: Robotics and Autonomous Systems, tools transforming the battlespace of the 21st Century; Technology Substacks for Autonomous Systems; Defence and Industrial Readiness for Robotics, Autonomous Systems and Cyber Physical Systems; and Additive Manufacturing as an Enabler for Robotics and Autonomous Systems.
The deliberations examined the operational, technological and industrial dimensions of autonomy, artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing in future multi-domain operations.
Lt Gen Neeraj Varshney, Commandant, MCEME and Colonel Commandant, Corps of EME, highlighted that emerging and disruptive technologies are transforming warfare into a multi-domain, multi-modal and increasingly non-kinetic construct.
