Our department organized an industrial visit to BARC on 18th March 2024.We visited the Remote Handling and Robotics Lab and Reactor control room. The research undertaken at each of the facility was explained by the concerned scientists.
Numerous robots for diversified applications were demonstrated to the students. The spot picker robot for Proteomics,6 DOF parallel manipulator, Automation systems for nuclear fuel fabrication facilities, remote handling systems for nuclear power plants, imaging technologies for medical applications were some of the highlights.
Dhruv Reactor model was illustrated to us. This model depicted the detailed working of a nuclear reactor. We had a first-hand experience of visiting a nuclear reactor control room.
Interacting with eminent scientists of BARC was really a wonderful experience for faculty and students. The visit has kindled the quest for scientific knowledge, especially in the field of robotics among our students. 36 students along with 3 staff visited BARC. The visit was organized by Prof Salabha Jacob and Mr. Amar Chouhan was the student coordinator.
