Surface Robotics Laboratory-CMERI
Open-knowledge reference entry
Surface Robotics Laboratory (SR Lab) is one of the major R & D Groups in the field of Robotics in Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute. This group is actively engaged in the development of experimental mobile robots for various unconventional applications.
Following are the major areas of interest of the group
Mobile robots that can operate various outdoor terrain conditions-commonly termed as "All Terrain robots"
Aerial Robots
Robots which use body movement for locomotion
Amphibious robots which can operate in land, partial & fully submerged terrain
The key element of mobile robotics capability involves:
Guidance and Navigation
Command and Control architecture
Integration and Fusion of multiple sensory information
Behavior based and Learning System
Completed Projects
All Terrain Robot (ATR X50) is primarily a tracked mobile robot designed & developed to cater the need for strategic requirements of India. This project attempts to analyze a few scientific and technological challenges often encountered by the navigation and robotics research community. The system is capable of operating in hostile environment for intervention, exploration, and data collection. The technology and expertise developed through this project will have many applications.
Sub Terranean robot has been invented in Surface Robotics Laboratory of CMERI which can move both on land and under water. Its application is to run inside coal mines. It is usually hazardous inside coal mines where deaths often occur owing to accidents inside mines. Hence instead of human beings, this robot may be used inside mines so that there is no chance of life risk even if an accident occurs under the mines.
The public source identifies “Surface Robotics Laboratory-CMERI” as open-knowledge reference entry. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Surface, Robotics and Laboratory-CMERI.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Surface Robotics Laboratory-CMERI”, the useful work is to connect “open-knowledge reference entry” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19898526. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
