A Center of Excellence will be established through a collaboration between Nokia and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) (CoE). As part of this collaboration, IISc Bangalore will house a robotics lab that will carry out cutting-edge research projects on developing next-generation networks and using AI to address pressing societal issues.

Along with teachers and other resources, IISc will contribute its internal expertise in algorithms, drones, and robotic systems. In accordance with the official statement, Nokia will contribute its “expertise in next-generation network innovations and leverage Nokia Bell Labs’ technical expertise in robot orchestration, robot network controller, and human-robot interaction to aid the research and development of the end-to-end use case technology solutions.”

In this collaboration, students will use drones to remotely monitor agricultural plantations in order to encourage water conservation and prevent direct interaction between humans and chemicals.

They will also look into drones, which will gather situational information using a 5G-enabled wide-area network, enabling first responders to save lives by swiftly reaching the impacted regions during disaster assistance. They will also look at using drones for things like predicting crop fires.

“Next-generation communication technologies, such as 5G and 6G, would significantly aid India’s economy in expanding. IISc director Govindan Rangarajan said, “Our partnership with a top-tier organisation like Nokia will allow us to explore new frontiers for cutting-edge technology research to benefit society and to provide state-of-the-art training to our students so that they can become technology leaders in the coming decades.
