Epson has launched a new initiative to enhance robotics education in India. The program aims to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry needs by providing hands-on training and practical exposure to modern manufacturing technologies.

As part of the initiative, Epson has established a state-of-the-art Robotics Lab at Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT), Bengaluru, and plans to set up another at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Chennai. These labs feature Epson’s advanced SCARA and 6-Axis robots used in industries for assembly, material handling, packaging, and inspection.

Epson has also completed its first internship program, training 22 students from four premier engineering institutes over 19 days at its Bengaluru Solution Center. More than 100 students are expected to benefit from similar programs in FY25.

Siva Kumar, Sr. General Manager, Sales and Marketing, Epson India, said “we believe in empowering the next generation of engineers with the tools and training they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving industry.” He further added “our partnerships with academic institutions and the dedicated internship programme are all about giving students the exposure they need to step confidently into the workforce.”
