1)	The Artec Robotic Docking and Movement System - TARDAMS
		This is a conceptual view of a Robotic arm enabling a heavy helicopter to land on a small Off-shore Patrol Vessel of the Coast Guard. This capability gives a paradigm shift to “Force exponentiation” and dramatically enhances “Search and Rescue operations“at sea in very adverse conditions. This concept is the “Brainchild” of D.Ramakrishna Naidu and has received substantial validation at global levels, under the acronym of TARDAMS, (The Artec Robotic Docking And Movement System”).
2)	Moving Cantilever Robot
		LPG CYLINDERS "empties", being sent in by the Distributors / Dealers are to be Unloaded from the trucks at the receiving end and "Filled" ones are to be loaded on to the trucks at the other end of the LPG Bottling Plants. Read more...
3)	A 5 Axes Robot with Vision
		This view shows the ANTHROPOID robot carrying a heavy (5 Kg.) payload, lifted off the incoming trolley and about to swing around for “Fluxing”, “Hot dip Soldering” and finally to place it on to an out going trolley. This implementation is with counterweights and where there is a constraint for space, the counterweights will be replaced with “Flat” coil springs.
4)	A 5 Axes jointed arm Robot with Vision
		This view shows the same robot as above but with the control panel included as a total system with the incoming and outgoing trolleys.
5)	Check Scale
		This is a special development for the LPG Bottling industry. The LPG filled Cylinders are “Check-weighed” at the phenomenal rate of 1900 Cylinders per hour with an accuracy of ±100 grams on total weight of 14 or 19 Kg.The system has been engineered for safe operations in the hazardous environment of LPG bottling plants.
6)	Anthropo Manipulator
		As is visible, it is an Anthropomorphic Robot arm mounted on an under carriage of “TANK” type and Gimbal mechanism. This gives the whole assembly the capability to work on OTR (Off the road) applications and on slopes, maintaining verticality of the Arm. Equipped with vision and AI, it can be taught complex operations: presently, inserting a plug into a power socket to power up a hand drill.
7)	A mobile 6 Axes jointed arm Robot
		Similar to product (6) as above, but performing an indoor task of “Fetching” and “Storing” items on a set of shelves. Since all transactions are computerized, this robot integrates very well into an Inventory control system as part of CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing).
8)	Legged Robot
		An experimental Humanoid (Partial- with Legs only) , as prelude to Androids.This was implemented by a group of four ECE undergrads as a final year project under the guidance of D.Ramakrishna Naidu. “ A small step for Androids……,a giant leap for mankind”.
9)	ANT Robot
		This robot has no gyroscopes for balancing as in most developed countries. It uses an innovative “Constrainment” technique pioneered at Artec. The wonder is that most developed countries use 6 legs, this Ant Robot built at Artec uses just 4 legs and in fact balances on 2 legs as a part of the requirements of “Gait” like any 4-legged natural creature like Horses, Dogs…….. This was developed by a group of 6 Undergrad. Engineering students under the guidance of D.Ramakrishna Naidu at Artec.
10)	Alien with an arm
		This view shows a four legged robot with an anthropoid arm and vision. Presently, this comes as close to a living creature, kinematically and requires addition of primitive “intelligence”. This depends on the task expected to be performed. The closest resemblance would be to Giraffe.
11)	Micro Mobile Fork Lift
		This is a remotely operable AGV (Autonomous Guided Vehicle), for restricted areas such as the interiors of transportation Containers.This has a capacity of 250 Kg. payload and lifts up to 2.5 metres height. Much safer than conventional Fork lift Trucks with their poor visibility and maneuverability.
12)	Parallel Jaw Gripper
		The specialty here is that while gripping a payload by a parallel motion of the jaws, it can roll endlessly, unlike conventional capability of only ±360º. This innovation has enabled the item (3) which requires this endless roll feature with parallel jaw gripper for “Processing” (Hot dip soldering) of armatures. This robot was developed by 5 Engineering UG students under the guidance of D.Ramakrishna Naidu at Artec.
13)	Robot with Vision - Rovis
		1988 was a year when machine Vision and AI capability was in its infancy any where in the world. A group of 11 engineering UG students and their Professor worked under the Guidance of D.Ramakrishna Naidu to achieve this magnificent capability in an ultra low cost Robot, winning the IEEE-Vincent Bendix award. NASA’s Aerospace publication carried a report on this. This in fact was the first Robot built at Artec.
14)	Leaf Man
		An autonomous guided vehicle type Robot with VISION for gathering and clearing/cleaning large paved areas, drive ways and roadways in all weather conditions. Takes 15 Deg. slopes in stride and has "Homing" ability to plug into battery recharge source. Built by Students of Artec/NSIC Robotics System Engineering course under the primary guidance of D.Ramakrishna Naidu, Chief Faculty.
15)	A 3 Axes Special Purpose Robot
		This extreme high speed machine was designed, built and sent to the semi-conductor industry of Singapore. It works in conjunction with a high speed press, handling 2 pcs. Per second (120 pcs./ min.) and stacks them in special trays.
16)	Welding Robot
		This Robot is an experimental implementation for carrying welding current through the arm itself, avoiding the random flexing of the current carrying welding cable. This has been proved at 25 amps current and can be designed and built for any required capacity.
17)	Robotic System
		A design proposal to the electrical insulator manufacturing industry, wherein “Mud Cakes” are to be off-loaded from filter presses, keeping pace with production demand. The system consists of the integrated operation of 5 robots as a single unit.
