about us

ADUZA Robotics and Automation Private Limited is an IIT (ISM) Dhanbad incubated company, started in India intending to serve academic institutions with a fully customizable robotics and automation solution. The strength of its founders includes teaching industrial robotics and automation in a premier academic institution in India. While teaching these subjects they realized the practical difficulty while using any readymade industrial robots or automation solutions to teach the subjects like robotics, automation, mechatronics, or any similar subjects. To catch up with the latest in robotics and automation they developed a series of robots to suit any standard robotics and automation labs and can be customized to suit any research labs or any project demands. 

 Understanding the scarcity of dedicated teachers and the lack of state-of-the-art facilities in various universities worldwide, ADUZA has also developed a set of advanced courses in the Robotics and Automation domains. These courses use real robots and automation systems to teach these subjects. The courses are more than just a monotonous theory course, rather it aims more to demonstrate this highly interdisciplinary and practical subject.

With the diverse set of experience of its founders, ADUZA offers to develop professional solutions for various government-funded projects and provide consultancy to their unique demands. At times the funded projects to any academic institution cannot be delivered professionally by the project PIs due to the lack of interdisciplinary grooming that is required to deliver any projects in robotics and automation.
