Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in India: Current State, Perspectives and Problems
Robotics and artificial intelligence are developing in India onthe basis of the national engineering but cheap labor, expensive importcomponents and low qualification of local engineers and computerprogrammers are limiting this development. According to Indian research, low qualification of many university graduates in engendering and computerprogramming is caused by obsolete university programs. In all developingeconomies including India robotics is a threat to labor market. Accordingto estimates, two social groups that are the core of robotics and artificialintelligence world, top managers and computer programmers, account foronly about one percent of India’s population. Still, both India and Chinadevelop robotics to upgrade the technological level of their economies.Artificial intelligence is becoming a vital element of the nation security bothin military and industrial sectors. Under new technological environment in manufacturing agricultural employment may get a new rise in India, foragriculture in India is labor intensive and may stay the same even after widemodernization as agricultural land scarcity force peasants to get maximum yield from each piece of soil. Russia and India may engage cooperation inrobotics and artificial intelligence development uniting their technologicalefforts and national markets. India’s machine-tool industry and the programMake in India may be a basis for robotics production for both Russian andIndian markets and Russian KAMAZ driverless trucks may be a Russiancontribution to the cooperation.
