The VI Semester students of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Srinivas Institute of Technology, Mangaluru, visited I Hub Robotics, Kochi, Kerala, on 5th April 2026 as part of an industrial and educational tour. The students were accompanied by Mr. Sathish Kumar K and Ms. Sinchana.

I Hub Robotics is an innovative robotics company engaged in the design, engineering, and deployment of intelligent humanoid robots for applications in education, healthcare, hospitality, industry, banking, logistics, and defense. The company develops advanced robots capable of seeing, hearing, speaking, understanding, and navigating autonomously, enabling them to work alongside humans in real-world environments.

The primary objective of the visit was to provide students with first-hand exposure to humanoid robotics and to understand the practical implementation of concepts related to embedded systems, sensors, communication technologies, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation.

During the visit, students toured various research and development laboratories and observed the design, testing, and deployment of humanoid robots. The engineers demonstrated how sensors, actuators, embedded controllers, computer vision systems, and AI algorithms are integrated to create intelligent robotic systems. Students had the opportunity to interact with technical experts, understand the development process of robotic products, and gain insights into real-world applications of robotics in industries, healthcare, education, and defense sectors. The interactive sessions enabled students to clarify their doubts and learn about the latest advancements and future trends in robotics technology.

In addition to the industrial visit, the students also visited the Tea Factory and Tea Museum at Munnar, where they learned about the history of tea cultivation and the various stages involved in tea processing, including withering, rolling, fermentation, drying, grading, and packaging. The visit provided valuable exposure to industrial production processes, quality control measures, and manufacturing practices.

The visit proved to be highly informative and beneficial. Students gained practical knowledge of advanced robotic technologies, enhanced their understanding of multidisciplinary engineering applications, and developed awareness of emerging opportunities in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence.
