Robots capable of serving food in hotels, teaching in classrooms, and assisting the Indian Army were displayed at the inauguration of India’s first Semiconductor Innovation Museum in Hyderabad, highlighting the country’s progress in technology and automation.

Speaking to ANI on Sunday, Narasimha Naidu, Founder and CEO of Stemx India, said the robots presented at the T-Chip Semiconductor Innovation Museum (TCH SIM) reflect India’s growing expertise in automation and semiconductor innovation. “These robots can work in hotels, schools, and colleges. They can handle reception duties or act as co-teachers,” he explained.
Naidu added that similar robots could also operate in airports and other public spaces, signaling a new era in India’s technological development. “The robotics revolution in India has already begun. In the future, you’ll see autonomous vehicles, driverless trucks, and many other automated systems,” he said.
He demonstrated another robot familiar to many from the Indian Premier League (IPL), noting that beyond entertainment, it has educational and industrial applications. “Students in engineering colleges and high schools use these robots to learn Python programming and automation,” he said.
Naidu also highlighted the use of robots by the Indian Army, stating that 80 dog robots have been deployed with the Border Security Force to protect soldiers. “We can equip these robots with LIDAR sensors, cameras, and even firearms for security operations,” he added.
In addition, similar robotic systems are used by Amazon and Flipkart in warehouses for picking and placing items, improving efficiency and safety in logistics. “These robots are now entering the Indian market and are set to bring a major transformation,” Naidu said.
He described the T-Chip initiative as a significant milestone for India’s semiconductor and robotics ecosystem. “This is a great step for Hyderabad, which is poised to become a hub for semiconductor manufacturing,” he said.
The T-Chip Semiconductor Innovation Museum is the first of its kind in India, showcasing pioneering technology and research in chip-making and advanced robotics.
