About RAAIF
RAAIF is one of India’s largest Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, not for profit (NGO) professional organisation founded in 2013, dedicated in embracing technology for the benefit of humanity, especially the underprivileged. Every student in a school and college should be given the opportunity to learn Robotics. Enhancing Educational Experience in students by hand holding them using technology, is our key strength.
Our mode of imparting Robotics knowledge is through in-built fun and entertainment element by stimulating the young minds to passionately learn more with full focus. Our key strength lies in our knowledge repository, as curriculum and practical experience scales from baby step to advanced robotics. This enables us to teach them the way they understand and to spread Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) through the tantalizing effects of robotics.
Our main objective is to spot early the spark in school children, offer quality mentorship, create a platform to develop their skills and talents, guide them for Under graduation / Post graduation and to develop them into the best subject matter experts in their respective fields.
RAAIF is committed
- to spread Science, Technology, Engineering and Math through the tantalizing effects of Robotics.
- to the social well being of the society, particularly the less fortunate and underprivileged members of the society in India.
- that every student in every school should be given an opportunity to learn Robotics, hands on and benefit the knowledge beyond academics.
- to identify the early spark in the students and incubate them for their dream
- to empower the teachers’ community and making India a knowledge hub for free sharing of the intricate technology.
- to improving the educational experience for the students. Prepare them today for what’s to come tomorrow.
Global perspective
Many countries celebrate and worship Science. We envision our Indian students to hold prominent place in building the future Technology and making mammoth contributions to the Global development.
Having 315 million student population in India, we have the largest population of students in the world. Upon empowering them with hands on technical skills, we are sure there will be a raise in the Innovation index graph. India’s Global Innovation Index has dropped to 76 position from 66 in 2013. Switzerland ranks No.1 in Global Innovation Index.
The 2010s are going to mark the commencement of the AGE OF ROBOTICS, just as the 1990s marked the birth of the internet. By the 2020s robotics would have matured and replaced MILLIONS of semi-skilled workers across the world, particularly from the developing world. Industry would have moved back to the developed world. This competitive advantage in robotics will also see the baton of world economic leadership pass on to Japan and S.E. Asia, which are currently leaders in robotics.
Impact of this Initiative : Quality workforce and subject matter expert from all the schools and colleges. Robotics being “The Next” big thing after IT, we envision to upgrade our student community to be a powerful workforce for the Nation.
Value Driven Engagements
Humans fight against enemies with all struggles and battles on their way. Emerging technologies and advancements enable them to defend and survive. RobotzLand provides and opportunity for the students to build robots that could manipulate and cross all hurdles to reach the given destination on Land. RobotzLand has six different categories namely:
We at RAAIF, work towards stakeholders value creation by systematically engaging with them, understanding their concerns and formulate strategies to address them. Special emphasis would be given to the less fortunate and underprivileged members of the society.
We provide them with all possible connectivity like industrial / corporate mentors, academic mentors, peer group mentors at national and international levels. RAAIF creates a platform for the students and faculty members to work with scholars outside of their schools and colleges.
We help them to choose a larger perspective streams in the Engineering, Science, medicine and Information technology ( ESMIT) as their future. We conduct various programs and involve them to identify the spark in them
