The Indian Army is set to witness a breakthrough in warfare technology with the planned induction of DRDO-developed humanoid robots by 2027. These robotic soldiers are being designed to simulate human soldiers in battlefields and hazardous environments, significantly reducing risk to human life.It was earlier reported by Times of India that DRDO scientists working on humanoid robot for military
DRDO is embarking on an ambitious program to develop in-orbit robotics for space applications, marking a major step in India’s pursuit of advanced autonomous technologies for aerospace and defence. The project is being led by scientist Kiran Akella, with the aim of completing the first operational phase of development by 2027.Space Robotics DevelopmentThe initiative focuses on designing legged
Bhairav Robotics, the Kakinada-based defence technology company, has made a significant breakthrough in India’s robotics manufacturing capabilities with the announcement of their Prabal Quasi-Direct Drive (QDD) actuators – a critical technology component designed and manufactured entirely in India.This development represents a major milestone in the country’s quest for self-reliance in advanced
On Monday, Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi delivered a comprehensive address at the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras, underscoring the transformative trajectory of India’s armed forces amid evolving modes of warfare.He asserted that the Indian military is fully prepared for fifth-generation conflicts characterised by non-contact warfare, rapid strategic tempo, and psychological
