Delhi Public School (DPS) Indirapuram has inaugurated a cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics Lab, marking a significant step in integrating futuristic technology with school education. The lab was unveiled on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, and is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in AI and robotics, aligning with the national education policies focused on emerging technologies.
The AI and Robotics Lab boasts a range of advanced equipment, including humanoid robots, robotic dogs, drones, Python and Arduino robotic kits, a robotic arm, and computers with Nvidia Jetson support. These resources are intended to allow students to interact with and understand the technology behind AI-powered physical robots, covering aspects such as computer vision, deep learning, and text-to-speech capabilities. The goal is to move beyond theoretical knowledge and provide practical skills in coding, design, and robot development.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by notable figures, including Aman Gupta, co-founder and CMO of boAt Lifestyle, who served as the Chief Guest. School board members Abhishek Bansal and Girish Kumar Sachdev, along with Principal Priya Elizabeth John, were also present, underscoring the institution's commitment to this transformative initiative.
DPS Indirapuram has partnered with companies from the US, Dubai, and China, including EdNex, to set up the lab. They have also hired specialized trainers, including some from Jordan, to ensure effective instruction and bridge the gap between international and Indian curricula. The school aims to equip students with skills that are future-ready, preparing them for international AI competitions and providing them with exposure to global standards.
The curriculum is designed to introduce students to advanced technologies through live demonstrations, showcasing real-world applications in healthcare, space research, and entertainment. Principal Priya Elizabeth John emphasized that the lab is "a doorway to the future," providing students with the opportunity to innovate at a level previously unimaginable in a school setting. The school aims to have students familiar with Python by grade 8, enabling them to focus on AI concepts when using the robots. Teachers are also undergoing AI training to effectively guide students in this evolving field.
