Introduction Department Of Robotics
The Robotics Department is a hub of innovation where students bring together creativity, engineering, and programming. In this specialized department, even young students get introduced to the basics of robotics through simple kits and gradually progress to building more complex robots. The curriculum covers mechanical design (working with sensors, motors, and structural components), as well as the coding that controls these creations. What makes the program exciting is its integration of AI concepts into robotics projects – for example, students might program a robot car to navigate using sensors (introducing them to autonomous vehicle basics) or experiment with simple AI algorithms to have a robot respond to voice commands. This integration ensures that students are aware of how modern robots perceive and interact with the world, mirroring cutting-edge developments in the field.

About The Department
Learning in the Robotics Department is largely project-based and hands-on. Students work in teams to design robots that can solve specific challenges, such as a line-following robot, a robotic arm that can sort objects, or even agribots that aid in simple farming tasks (which links with the Crop Science department). With guidance from instructors, students handle the entire development process: brainstorming, drafting blueprints, assembling hardware, and writing code. The department also encourages participation in inter-school and national robotics competitions. Teams from Kunjir Public School have entered contests where their robots compete in tasks like obstacle courses or problem-solving missions, often earning accolades and always gaining valuable experience.
These competitions provide a platform for students to test their creations against real-world problems and to collaborate under pressure, much like tech teams in industry. Through the journey of building and competing, students inevitably learn how to troubleshoot failures and improve designs, fostering perseverance. They also practice leadership—whether it’s a team leader coordinating tasks or a programmer guiding others in coding—within their project groups. By immersing students in collaborative tech challenges, the Robotics Department not only cultivates technical proficiencies in engineering and coding, but also imparts critical soft skills. Creativity, teamwork, and project management flourish here, producing young innovators who are comfortable taking on complex problems and are well-prepared for future careers in technology and engineering.
