Phase 2

An open testing campus.

The next phase is a larger campus in Visakhapatnam built for testing, not just teaching. Open and netted zones sized to each robot’s safety needs, and a deliberately small permanent building.

  • Humanoid test bays with spectator space for cohorts
  • Cobot and industrial-arm cells
  • Netted UAV flight cage
  • Academic block and compute hub
