The global robotics landscape is rapidly evolving, fuelled by breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence, cyber-physical systems, and Industry 4.0 technologies. From smart factories and autonomous vehicles to AI-enabled healthcare and next-gen logistics, robotics is at the forefront of innovation across sectors. Markets such as industrial robotics (projected to reach $13.6B by 2028), medical robotics (estimated at $43B by 2030), and warehouse automation (expected to hit $51B by 2030) are expanding at an unprecedented pace—bringing with them a growing demand for highly skilled robotics engineers.

India stands at the threshold of a technological revolution, driven by flagship initiatives like Make in India, Digital India, and Atmanirbhar Bharat, all of which promote automation and self-reliance in advanced manufacturing. Yet, a significant talent gap persists—industries struggle to find professionals skilled in the design, integration, and deployment of intelligent robotic systems across diverse sectors.

To bridge this skills gap and empower the next generation of robotics professionals, NAMTECH has introduced the International Professional Technologist Programme (iPTP), a one-year residential programme designed to cultivate highly skilled world-class technologists and make an impact in Manufacturing, Engineering, and Technology (MET) domains.
