IIT Delhi launches online executive robotics programme for graduates with one-day campus immersion

The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi) has opened the admissions for its five-month online executive programme in robotics for graduates. Eligible candidates can apply through the official website at home.iitd.ac.in.

The third cohort of the executive programme in robotics at IIT Delhi will equip learners with a blend of managerial perspectives and deep technical grounding to navigate the fast-evolving robotics ecosystem, as per the official press release.

Expressing the requirement of engineers in design, programme, and deployment of intelligent systems, Arnab Chanda, programme coordinator and associate professor, IIT Delhi said, “Through this Executive Programme in Robotics, IIT Delhi brings together research-led teaching and practitioner insight to help professionals build deep technical capability, sharpen systems thinking and accelerate innovation across high-impact sectors, in India and globally.”

“Robotics now sits at the intersection of AI, sensing and advanced manufacturing and industry needs engineers who can design, programme and deploy intelligent systems responsibly,” Chanda highlighted.

The robotics programme will have six modules such as robotics and automation, sensing and perception, actuators and motion, modelling, AI and machine learning, embedded control and mechatronics, and applications and future directions.

The courses are supported by tutorials in CAD design, 3D printing, Arduino programming, AI/ML for robotics, DIY robotics and ROS training. “Each learner completes a hands-on capstone by developing one robot per participant, supported by structured research and guided implementation,” the engineering institute said.

As per the eligibility criteria, graduates with a minimum of 50% marks are eligible to apply. The programme will be conducted through live, interactive Direct-to-Device (D2D) sessions.

The online classes will consist of industry-relevant lectures, tutorials, hands-on tools and project work. The live sessions will be taken by top robotics experts and industry leaders from India and the USA, as per the press release.

The experts will train to build job-ready capabilities and deliver measurable impact across technology-driven sectors.

Learners will also get a chance to participate in an “exclusive” one-day campus immersion at IIT Delhi, engaging directly with the institute’s academic and research environment.

“On successful completion, participants will receive a certificate of successful completion,” the institute said.

“Participants learn to develop and implement robotic applications using programming languages, design and control robotic systems and networks, and build robotic devices from the ground up—mechanically and electronically. The curriculum also strengthens capability in robotic vision, helping learners apply visual sensors to real-world robotics use cases,” the IIT Delhi said.
