GMR Group sets up Robotics Centre of Excellence

The GMR Group has established a Robotics Centre of Excellence (CoE) as part of the expansion of GMR Innovex, the group's innovation vertical.

The CoE will serve as a hub for robotics innovation, research and development, and collaboration.

"As the airport and aviation eco-system grow, our Robotics COE will transform the industry with cutting-edge technology and solutions that will improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability," said SGK Kishore, Executive Director-South Airports and Chief Innovation Officer, in a statement.

"We hope to use this new technology across the group to not only improve business operations, but also to provide a fantastic passenger and customer experience. We are excited to partner with industry players that would help drive transformative change in the aviation industry and develop a better future for all.”

GMR Innovex signed an MOU with Peppermint, SINE IIT Bombay, and Flo Mobility to investigate opportunities and identify robotics technology-related use cases for airports and ancillary businesses. The Robotics CoE will be the driving force behind the next wave of robotics innovation, focusing on developing cost-efficient and cost-effective solutions.

The centre will identify and incubate robotics start-ups, as well as co-develop innovative robotics products for the airport and aviation eco-system.

According to the release, it will drive innovation and provide the necessary infrastructure, including a specially designed robotics lab for robotics start-ups, as well as drive thought leadership and collaboration with industry partners, leverage expertise, and invest in potential start-ups.

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..
