India's growth in the field of Robotics
India is an upcoming potential market for industrial robotics industry with
a worldwide market share of approximately 15 per cent. With suitable
stimulation and investment in the key underlying technologies, a broad
range of robotics activities can be enabled. Key to this is the identification
of first-wave technologies that will drive early markets. Industrial robots
form an essential part of the current manufacturing sector of India.
Without the use of robotics technologies or cost-effective production, a
pillar of emerging Indian wealth would not be possible. Furthermore,
robot-based production increases product quality, improves work
conditions and leads to an optimized use of resources. The miniaturization
of robotic technologies and newly developed sensing capabilities mean
that these benefits are becoming applicable to an even wider range of
manufacturing industries, including those with small and varying lot sizes,
materials and product geometries.
India's growth in the field of Robotics
According to the World Robotics Report 2018 by the International
Federation of Robotics (IFR), India has set a new record with the sale of
3,412 new industrial robot units in 2017—an increase of 30% compared to
that in 2016. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) was 18% between
2012 and 2017.
Owing to the rapid increase in robot installation since 2009, India stands
at the 14th position in terms of global annual supply and at the 13th
position in terms of operational stock.
Growth of Robotics in Food and Beverage sector of India
Robotics has become imperative in the Food industry.

Various companies use robots for a number of tasks
including packaging, palletizing, picking and even
production.
A very recent Bangalore -based startup, is keeping no stones

unturned in developing the Mechanical chef—a robot that
will cook hundreds of customizable Indian cuisines with
ease. Not only this, Chennai homes the first robot -themed
restaurant “Robot” that has real robots for waiters.
Growth of Robotics in the Automotive Sector of India
India is expected to become the 4th largest automobile producer in the
world by 2020, after China, US and Japan. The industry has registered a
CAGR of 14%, with profit scaling to USD 39 billion in 2015–2016. Exports
also show a similar growth pattern, with a CAGR of 14% that scales to
USD 10.8 billion.
Although factors like robust demand, rising indigenization, export

opportunities and recent policies have quite strong roles to play in the
swell of the automotive sector, adoption of Robots is the prime force
that has made this success invincible. Several automobile giants like Tata
Motors, Hyundai, Honda etc. in India use robots along with blue-collar
employees for efficient and faster production of vehicle parts.
Growth of Robotics in Healthcare sector of India
There are many success stories of surgical robotics in

India. Some of them being :
1. Da Vinci is an endoscopic coronary bypass system
created by Intuitive. Dr. Naresh Trehan conducted India’s
first fully robotic heart surgery in 2002 with the help of this
minimum invasive surgery expert.
2.Gujarat -based cardiac surgeon Dr. Tejas Patel created

history by operating on a patient with block artery while
sitting 32 km away from him —this was the first
telerobotic surgery ever.
Growth of Robotics in the military sector of India
Currently, robots in the Indian Army are used as unmanned aerial

vehicles (UAVs; commonly called drones), unmanned ground
systems (UGS) and landmine/explosive detection/disarmament
devices. However, the Government and the Indian Army are
interested in harnessing this technology beyond their existing roles.
Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR), the primary
R&D laboratory in Defense, is at work since 1986 and has created
myriad robotic systems for the Army, including DRDO Daksh,
Wheeled Robot, Snake Robot, Legged Robot, Wall-climbing Robot,
Robot Sentry, etc.
Growth of Robotics in the Agriculture sector of India
India is primarily an agricultural country; but, ironically, the only

thing that’s in store for the Indian farmers is never-ending poverty.
Robotics has every potential to change that scenario. With robots,
farmers can closely monitor the land, besides obtaining site-specific
and timely data about the crop. Robot assisted precision irrigation
systems can help in the efficient use of water by directly watering
the roots of the crop. Fertilizer-, pesticide- and weedicide-dispensing
robots can protect crops by preventing excessive use of chemicals.
Besides these, robots can help with the picking and harvesting of
crops. Once harvested, the crops/fruits/vegetables can be thinned or
pruned and packaged for marketing with robotic assistance. Robots
can, thus, increase the agricultural yield to manifold.
Growth of Robotics in other industries of India
In India, warehouse automation stands as the backbone of

important e-commerce players, like Flipkart, Zivame,
Myntra, Pepperfry etc., and their delivery partners, like Gati
Ltd, DTDC etc.
The pharmaceuticals industry now uses robots in their

production to meet the demand and hasten the process.
Other benefits of automation in the pharmaceutical domain
include enhancing quality of drugs; preventing workers’
exposure to hazardous environments, etc.
Top Robotics Companies of India
1. Invento Robotics:
Invento Robotics was founded by Balaji Viswanathan in 2016. It specializes in
developing humanoid robots for customer interaction. Recently Invento made the
headlines because of its latest creation—a 5-feet-tall humanoid robot that has
been named ‘Mitra’. With a host of special features like face detection, voice
recognition, contextual support and autonomous navigation, Mitra is quite a
beauty.
2. Fanuc India:
FANUC INDIA Private Limited, a subsidiary of the FANUC CORPORATION, was
established in 1992 with its headquarters in Bangalore. Fanuc is the global leader
in Factory Automation Technology. From single machines to setting up entire
production lines, Fanuc has a diverse spectrum of production. FANUC India offers

Rotation and scaling of unit cube
Initially a unit cube is

taken and
rotated 45 degree
about Z axis.
Rotation of cube=>rotation of A,B,C vector.
Rotation of vector A
Where theta(Q)=45 and A=1i

[x']=[cos(Q) -sin(Q) 0][1]
[y']=[sin(Q) cos(Q) 0][0]
[z']=[0 0 1][0]
A'=(1/2)^(1/2)i +(1/2)^(1/2) j+ 0 k
Similarly for vector B and C
B'=-(1/2)^(1/2) i +(1/2)^(1/2) j + 0 k
C'= 1 k
Scaling of rotated cube
Where s=2 unit overall scaling.
Scaling of A'.
[x'']=[2 0 0][(½)^(½)]
[y'']=[0 2 0][(1/2)^(½)]
[z'']=[0 0 2][ 0 ]
So, A''=
A''=(2)^(1/2) i +(2)^(1/2) j+0 k
Similarly,
B''=(-2)^(1/2) i+(2)^(1/2) j+0 k
C''=2 k
