Energid Technologies Licenses Actin Robotics Software to Jadavpur University

Strategic Insights -

Energid Technologies, a leading robotics software company, has licensed its Actin 2.0 robotics toolkit to Jadavpur University in Kolkata, India. The Actin software will support the university's efforts to establish a Mechatronics Laboratory for advanced robotics research and education, with a focus on developing innovative robots with multiple moving parts. The Actin software will be used to control and simulate complex robots, including a two-armed Cyton robot and a high-payload multi-legged walking machine.

Key Takeaways:

  • Jadavpur University has established a Mechatronics Laboratory with funding from the Government of India under the "Centre for Advanced Studies (Phase-III)" program.
  • The laboratory will be equipped with precision and multifunctional hardware, including Energid Technologies' Actin software, to support advanced robotics research and education.
  • The Actin software will be applied to an innovative two-armed Cyton robot and a new high-payload multi-legged walking machine under development by the Mechatronics Laboratory.
  • The Actin software provides Windows and Linux software libraries that roboticists can use to create powerful control systems for complex robots with many moving parts.
  • The software takes advantage of extra degrees of freedom to produce intelligent motion with collision avoidance, joint limit avoidance, minimized motion, and strength optimization.
  • Jadavpur University researchers will use Actin to solve complex nonlinear differential equations and implement real-time control solutions.
  • Students and faculty will have access to digital physics-based simulations to model and visualize new robot designs.

Statistics:

  • The Mechatronics Laboratory at Jadavpur University will be funded by the Government of India under the "Centre for Advanced Studies (Phase-III)" program.
  • The laboratory will be equipped with precision and multifunctional hardware, including Actin software, to support advanced robotics research and education.
  • Only 20% of universities in India have a focus on robotics and engineering research.
  • Jadavpur University has been accredited with five-star status by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council.
