SREE VIDYANIKETHAN ENGINEERING COLLEGE
(AUTONOMOUS)
Sree Sainath Nagar, Tirupati – 517 102, A.P.
DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
APPLIED ROBOT CONTROL (ARC)LAB
APSSDC- ECM - Convergence training Center
APSSDC along with European Center for Mechatronics (ECM) has
taken initiative to develop the mechatronics eco system in India which will
support the industrial requirements from academic level. Indo Euro
synchronization team along with APS, GmbH, ITA, RWTH Aachen
University and German Center for Advanced Engineering Studies are also
supporting the program. In this context, one of its kind initiative of
Government of Andhra Pradesh through APSSDC in collaboration with
ECM Germany has established Applied Robot control (ARC) labs across the
engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh. Sree Vidyanikethan has also
become a part of this program and established ARC lab in the department
of Mechanical Engineering under the guidance of Dr. K. C. Varaprasad,
Professor and Head, Department of Mechanical Engineering.
APSSDC-ECM-Convergence Training Centers
A one of its kind initiative of Government of Andhra Pradesh through
APSSDC in collaboration with ECM Germany to creating a world class
ecosystem in the fields of industrial manufacturing and robotics,
collaborating with German partner APS European center for Mechatronics
and Engineering colleges across the state in training students at bachelors
engineering level, preparing them to be industry ready by the time of
graduation.
Objectives:
This is a first kind of MoU in with State of Andhra Pradesh to
develop the skill of the students in the area of Automation and
Industrial Robotics.
40 Engineering colleges across AP will be selected as “Indo-
European Skilling Centers for Mechatronics and Industrial Robotics”
and “Applied Robot Control (ARC) Labs” will be set up in partnership
between ECM and respective colleges.
Faculty members from the colleges who will be delivering this
program to the students, will be given intensive training in Germany
and through online workshops by experts from ECM and its
partners.
Students will be trained to the highest global standards in the fields
of industrial robotics and manufacturing automation with hands-on
experience at industrial production sites.
Improve the students’ skill in the field of automaton and increase
their employability.

Training to students:
Students from IV [Link] ECE, EEE, Mechanical and EIE Engineering
departments in the college will be trained on ARC 1.0, ARC 2.0 and ARC
3.0 courses for 3 months training for each of the course. APSSDC and
ECM are jointly sponsoring 90% of the course fee, offering a one of its
kind high end robotics skills courses to the students at a very marginal
cost.
Figure 2. Students participating in ARC1.0 Online sessions
Online sessions will be offered by German faculty, where as offline
sessions and hands on training on Robots will be given by the college
faculty who were already trained earlier by APSSDC.
Training Methodology:
ARC training will be carried out in 3 phases as mentioned below. Starting
from basics in phase 1, the training progresses giving the advanced and
hands on practice in the later phases. After successful completion of ARC
3.0, students are offered with internships in industries.
▪Students for the program shall be selected based on their academic
record and performance in the ARC eligibility test.
▪Selected students will be provided with the materials to get well versed
with the prerequisites like C language programming.
▪Apart from theoretical classes, emphasis will be on assignments involving
designing tasks/jobs for the robots stationed in ARC Labs of their colleges
and also at APS ECM.
▪Under experts supervision, students will be able to remotely access and
work on the industrial scale robots at the labs of APS ECM, Germany
during ARC 2.0.
▪The aim is to replicate environment of an industry using advanced
robotics, for the students to work on. Helping them evolve from having
theoretical knowledge towards practical approach to a problem.
Course Details:
Benefits to students:
▪ Exposure to high end technologies, international collaborations and
innovations at bachelor’s degree level, making them stand out from
their peers.
▪ Training from highly qualified and experienced faculty from network
colleges and research institutions in Germany.
▪ Certification from reputed German Universities, on Successful
completion of the courses.
▪ Best performing students will be invited to join international
exchange programs to Europe, workshops and factory visits to
reputed manufacturing and robotics factories.
▪ Opportunity to join masters programs in reputed universities in
Europe with possible scholarships. Participate in JobMelas organized
by European Center for Mechatronics and APSSDC.
