ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION CENTRE

ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION CENTRE (RAC)

The Robotics and Automation Centre (RAC) was inaugurated on September 12, 2025, at Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Viswa Mahavidyalaya (SCSVMV), a Deemed-to-be University accredited with a NAAC “A” grade, in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, with the investment of Rs 72 Lakhs as part of L&T Valves’ CSR initiative.

The inauguration was graced with the benign blessings and presence of His Holiness Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetadhipati Jagadguru Pujyasri Sankara Vijayendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya Swamigal.  The Centre was inaugurated by Sri S. Kalyanaraman, Executive Vice President & Head, Industrial Machinery Business, Larsen & Toubro Limited. This cutting-edge facility is intended to encourage innovative robotics and automation research and education, encouraging creativity and skill development in both faculty and student community. With its cutting-edge robotic systems, automation controllers, and simulation tools, the centre serves as a foundation for initiatives that addresses the societal demands and industrial problems. With an emphasis on collaboration, hands-on training, and real-world applications, it aims to create a transformative impact in the field.

By encouraging interdisciplinary cooperation, it seeks to fill the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world applications. Students and researchers are able to capitalize on cutting-edge projects at the centre to its sophisticated facilities, which include robotic arms, mobile robots, automation controllers, machine vision systems, and simulation software.

About Placement and Training Divison

Every student comes with an aspiration for a flying career. The training and placement division work to support the student’s aspirations with an aim to guide them to start building a career and not just an employment.

Career Planning is a complex process and when multiple opportunities are in front of the final year students, it’s become difficult for them to identify the best suited opportunity. The Training & Placement Division understand this and conducts various programmes and support services to meet the needs of students towards their professional development. The division works with the students and for the students in their career planning process.

The placement division acts as a bridge among the students, academic departments and industries. We start with conducting career guidance and counseling sessions with industry experts so that students could understand and define their career aspirations. This would help us to understand their career needs and to connect them for the required training & up-skilling sessions.

Today, there is no scarcity for knowledge-centers but choosing the right place to up-skill is the key to succeed and we ensure that we connects the students with best resource centers in the market. We train the students from their II year onwards with Soft Skill & English Communications in the 3rd and 4th semester respectively. In the III year, students are trained in Aptitude skills. These skill sets are compulsory for students who aspire to qualify for campus placements, competitive exams and much more. Our in-house faculty will handle these training programmes with diligent.

We connect the students with multiple resources for them to perceive, possess, prepare, practice, perform and prosper.

Many say knowledge is power, but it is equally true that applied knowledge is the real power. We encourage students to take up internships, industry certifications, to take-up career assessments, to participate in hackathons, tech. contests and other skill development activities. Students also have access to learn foreign languages as open electives. These add-ons would increase their knowledge and skill-set; which would fetch the best opportunities for them to start their career.

Preparation + Opportunity = Success. Our motto is to guide the students to prepare for their career and to support them with opportunities. If the students are prepared, they can easily grab the opportunity and shine.
