Tier 1
AI & Robotics Launch Pad
The technical foundation — code, apps, computer vision, and ROS 2, on a real hardware kit.
30 Teaching Days · ~45 Hours · Online + Physical Hardware Kit Included
Why This Course
Launch Pad is where every student starts in India: Python, web and mobile app development, computer vision, and the ROS 2 middleware that runs real robots — capped with a hardware-in-the-loop capstone using a kit shipped to your door.
- From zero to a working robotics + AI stack in 30 teaching days
- Physical hardware kit included — not simulation-only
- Builds the exact foundation Tier 2 and Tier 3 build on
- Capstone: hardware-in-the-loop YOLO visual servoing + a digital twin in RViz
Internship
Launch Pad is the technical foundation tier and does not include a placement internship — the guaranteed paid internship begins at Tier 2.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does Tier 1 include an internship?
- No — Tier 1 is the foundation tier. The guaranteed paid internship starts at Tier 2.
- Do I need coding experience to start?
- No — Module 1 starts from Linux, Git, and core Python.
- Is the hardware kit really included?
- Yes — a physical hardware kit ships as part of the program and is used in the Tier 1 capstone.
- Can I stop after Tier 1?
- Yes, Tier 1 is a complete standalone credential — though most students progress into Tier 2 for the paid internship.
