Robotics Lab · Amritsar

Students build a real robot arm. Then they program it.

Over 12 weekend sessions, students wire, build and program a real robot arm with Arduino, servo motors and sensors, starting from a bare servo and finishing with an arm that picks things up.

Enrolling

Foundation Robotics

12 sessions × 2 hours · Weekends · Students work in pairs

Students build a real 5-joint robot arm from parts and program it to pick things up. There is no maths beyond angles, and nobody needs to have written code before.

By session 8 the arm can grab an object and lift it. In session 9 we move the object just two centimetres and run the same program, and the arm grabs empty air. That moment is the heart of the course: it is when students see for themselves why modern robots learn instead of just following instructions.

Fee: ₹6,000

Starting January

Physical AI

For college students and working professionals

Train real robot arms using Hugging Face LeRobot. You start with imitation learning, where an arm learns a task from recorded demonstrations instead of fixed instructions, and move on to reinforcement learning in simulation with MuJoCo and NVIDIA Isaac Sim.

You will need basic Python and your own laptop.

Fee: ₹16,000

Hands-on

What students actually do.

  • Take a servo motor apart to see what is inside
  • Wire power safely, and learn why circuits fail
  • Assemble a 5-joint arm from bare parts
  • Program a pick-and-place sequence
  • Find out why hardcoded control breaks
  • Present their own project to their parents

Foundation curriculum

The 12 sessions.

Here is what a student does in each session, from taking apart a first servo to presenting their own project at the end.

Show all sessions
  1. 1

    What a robot is

    Students take a servo motor apart and see for themselves what is inside: a small motor, a set of gears and a bit of control electronics. Then they put it to work and run their first sweep, so a robot stops being a mystery and becomes something they can understand.

  2. 2

    Power

    Most robot problems are really power problems. Students deliberately overload an Arduino until it keeps resetting, then work out why and fix it. They come away understanding current and ground, and why a robot that misbehaves is usually starved of power.

  3. 3

    Many motors

    One motor is easy; an arm needs several, working together. Students wire up the servo driver board and get three servos moving from a single controller, learning how one small board can talk to many motors at once.

  4. 4

    Build I

    The build begins. Students assemble the base and the shoulder of the arm, and quickly find out how much strain even a light arm puts on its first joints, and what happens when a joint sags under its own weight.

  5. 5

    Build II

    Now the elbow, wrist and gripper go on. Real parts never fit perfectly, so students learn about the small amount of play in every joint, and how to work with it rather than against it.

  6. 6

    Calibration

    Before the arm moves freely, students find the safe limit of every joint. It is a careful, patient session, and it teaches why those limits have to be set before something gets damaged, not after.

  7. 7

    First sequence

    Students write their first motion sequence, moving one joint after another in the right order and with the right timing. It is where the arm stops twitching and starts to move with purpose.

  8. 8

    Pick and place

    Students program a complete grab-and-lift: reach out, close the gripper, pick the object up and put it down. When it works, and it does, they feel like engineers, because they built the arm and they made it do real work.

  9. 9

    The wall

    We move the object just two centimetres and run the exact same program, and the arm grabs empty air. The code never knew the object had moved. Students see for themselves why fixed instructions are not enough, and why modern robots have to learn.

    The moment the whole course is built around

  10. 10

    What would fix this?

    Having hit the wall, the group works out what the arm was missing. Together they talk through sensing and feedback, and why so many robots use cameras, and then see a demonstration of the idea in action.

  11. 11

    Two ways machines learn

    In plain language, students see the two main ways a machine can learn: by copying demonstrations, and by trial and error. They watch a learned policy control a robot, and watch another one train in simulation.

  12. 12

    Showcase

    Every student presents a mini-project of their own to their parents. It is a chance for families to see exactly what was built, and for students to explain it in their own words.

Why Nadrel

Why learn robotics with us?

  • Every student builds with their own hands.

    Nothing here is a demo to watch from a distance, and nothing arrives pre-assembled. Students put the arm together themselves, one joint at a time.

  • The same tools real robotics labs use.

    Arduino, servo driver boards and Hugging Face LeRobot: the kind of tools you would find in a working robotics lab, not classroom toys.

  • Taught in a working lab.

    Sessions are led by people who build robot arms themselves, in our own lab in Amritsar, not read out from a slide deck.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need any programming experience?

It depends on the programme. Foundation Robotics needs no programming experience and no prior knowledge of any software tool: we start from zero, and the first sessions are about wires and motors, not code. Physical AI does expect an understanding of Python, at least the basics, and if you are still getting comfortable with it, we will help you build that foundation as part of the programme.

What is the fee for the course?

The fee is INR 6,000 for Foundation Robotics and INR 16,000 for Physical AI. If you enrol for both, the total is INR 20,000.

What will I get after completing the course?

You will receive a certificate of completion from Nadrel Technologies.

Do you teach at schools?

Yes, we run the same programme at schools. Write to training@nadrel.com and we will talk it through.

How do I pay?

Fees are paid in two instalments at the lab, and you get a receipt for each.
