“Robotics in Indian Automobile Industries”

India became the fourth largest auto market in 2019

displacing Germany with about 3.99 million units sold in
the passenger and commercial vehicles categories. India
is expected to displace Japan as the third largest auto
market by 2021.
This could not be possible if robotics was not introduced to
the different automobile companies in India.
As the demand in car units increased, the production time
needed to be lesser that is why so many companies are
trying to bring more robots and semi-robots into
production work.
This does affect the human resource requirements but
improved the production rate, profit and also perfection of
the products.
Following are some of the leading automobile companies
that have been using these advanced robots in their
manufacturing unit.
 TATA
 MARUTI SUZUKI
 HONDA

A Tata group company, TAL Manufacturing a Solutions, has

unveiled India's first ever robot called 'BRABO'. In the Make in
India week that took place last year. The development cost, as
reported, is Rs 10 crore.

Here is all you would like to know about the first India
made robot, Tata Brabo:

• The robot is a Tata Motors innovation

• It has been developed in-house by a team of six engineers led
by Anil Bhingurde, COO of TAL Manufacturing Solutions
• The development cost of the robot is reported to be about Rs
10 crore
• The designing has been done at TAL, the styling at Tata Elxi,
and the manufacturing of some parts at Tata AutoComp
• Tata Capital, a housing finance company, provided the finance
• The robot will be developed for micro, small and medium
enterprises
• The robot will be easy to install, use, program and maintain
• Tata Brabo comes with a low-cost power transmission system
• The enterprises will then use the robots for their manufacturing
purposes
• It has been reported that Brabo will be priced at Rs 300,000 for
a payload of 2 kilograms, and Rs 600,000 for a payload of 10
kilograms
• The main advantage of Tata is that the company will control
the localised manufacturing of the robot and it can price the
robots lower than the foreign players
• The idea behind the making of the robot is to drive
mechanisation in the Indian markets by offering cheap and cost-
effective solutions
• It has also been reported that by manufacturing robots, TAL
Manufacturing doesn't intend to compete with the global robot
manufacturing companies but plans to target the small initiatives
in the Indian markets with affordable solutions
• With the launch of Brabo, from the next year, the demand of
robots in the Indian market is expected to rise to 5,000 from
1,000, according to the International Federation of Robotics.
