Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-Delhi) will now be leading the project IRAS-HUB, funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Union (EU). The project is mostly aimed at addressing the lack of skilled talent in robotics technology in India.

To overcome the scarcity of skilled talent in robotics technology in India, the project IRAS-HUB will establish three hubs in Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) in India. The hubs will be equipped with prototyping equipment and robotics software and will train researchers from Indian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in RAS with researchers and experts from EU HEIs.
