Hyderabad’s Svaya Robotics has developed India’s first quadruped robot for the defense sector
Hyderabad’s Svaya Robotics has created India’s first quadruped robot and wearable exoskeleton as technology demonstrators with their design inputs in collaboration with DRDO Labs – Research and Development Establishment, Pune (R&DE) and Defense Bio-engineering & Electro Medical Laboratory, Bangalore (DEBEL).
These robots are now being brought from the United States and Switzerland to support the nation’s defense needs and bolster its defense capabilities.
As part of the “Made in India” initiative, the DRDO is leading the charge to develop robotics domestically with assistance from industrial partners like Svaya Robotics. As a result, robotics is positioned to play a significant role in the defense and security sectors. The challenges that India’s defense and security services are faced with are not well-suited for deployment by current robots, which are intended for organized environments and have restricted capabilities. These challenges include tough terrains and field operations circumstances.
Together with other top scientists from the DRDO labs R&DE and DEBEL, Dr. Sateesh Reddy, a former chairman of the DRDO and scientific advisor to the Union Defense Minister, visited the Svaya Robotics research facility in Hyderabad.
Dr. Sateesh Reddy examined the progress made in creating the robots that Svaya has taken on with help from the DRDO. He conveyed his delight with the way the project was going.
Svaya Robotics’ founder and managing director, Vijay R. Seelam, expressed his company’s happiness to work with the DRDO on the Aatma Nirbhar Bharat initiative to make India self-sufficient.
The quadruped robot was created domestically by Svaya in partnership with DRDO and is designed for traveling in unstructured terrains to enable remote reconnaissance and inspection for the military and security forces in environments that are otherwise unsafe for human operation.
Svaya is creating the exoskeleton to fit the anthropometry of Indian soldiers and increase military strength so they can carry large objects with little exertion and walk long distances without becoming tired. Both are dual-purpose robots with a wide range of industrial and medical applications.
